Royalty income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 increased approximately $3,874,000 or 38% compared with the third quarter of 2009. This increase was caused by increases in the production of both oil and natural gas as well as increases in the price of both oil and natural gas. Compared to the preceding quarter ended June 30, 2010, royalty income increased approximately $83,000 or 1%, due to an increase in the production of oil. This increase was tempered somewhat by decreases in the production of natural gas as well as decreases in the price of both oil and natural gas. Royalty income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $10,766,000 or 34% compared with the same time period in 2009. This increase was due mainly to an increase in natural gas production as well as increases in the price of both oil and natural gas. The increases were offset somewhat by a decrease in the production of oil.
Gas revenues received for the three months ended September 30, 2010, related primarily to production for April 2010 through June 2010. The average price of gas as reported by the Henry Hub for the same time period was $3.89 per Mcf. The average price of gas for the Henry Hub was $4.07 per Mcf for January 2010 through September 2010.
