Revenue for the six months ended Jun 30, 2017 was $78 million, up 33% from the same period a year ago.

The company said the rise was due to a jump in natural gas revenue and higher oil volumes as it started up a natural gas processing plant and oil gathering system in the second half of 2016.

Total revenue for 2016 was $120.9 million, which was up 15% from the year-ago period. That mainly attributed to increased water volumes and natural gas volumes.
