Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. CEO’s  Comments

Mark Erickson, Extraction’s Chairman and CEO, said, “While the second quarter was one characterized by significant production growth, we expect third-quarter production growth to be even greater. We are achieving this while maintaining our capital discipline and sticking to the development budget we outlined at the end of last year. Our second quarter results demonstrated that our enhanced Niobrara wells produce a much higher percentage of oil at the beginning of their life cycle. Our third-quarter guidance continues to reinforce this as we again expect oil production to grow more than our total equivalent production.”  Globe Newswire
