| This sets the stage for promising long term opportunities and enhanced oil recovery |
| I think we're going to see probably the most boost from the volume growth, even at flat prices |
| We've demonstrated our ability to inject substantial volumes of CO2 into the reservoir with minimal to moderate breakthrough |
| That action helped contribute to the 26% year-over-year increase in free cash flow to $70 million |
| And we feel pretty good about that |
| Lastly, building on this momentum, we witnessed a successful integration of our New Mexico acquisition, with our existing asset base representing a significant milestone for our company |
| And so, that's pretty exciting |
| And I think what we've demonstrated is we have the ability to store a lot of CO2 also by enhancing oil recovery |
| So it may have a little bit slower volume growth this year, but we are excited about that free cash flow growth |
| These gains were driven by optimized connection practices, new Agitator technology, and increased bit runtimes |
| The fixed versus variable nature of that dividend demonstrates our confidence in our future business |
| In 2023 and most recently, we achieved significant drilling efficiency improvements, with the time from spud to total depth decreasing by 50% |
| One of the advantages that we have this year is with the integration of the New Mexico assets, we're able to high grade our drilling inventory and actually shift some of our development, if we choose, to the New Mexico Yeso Trend, which really gives us, I think, a real keen advantage on being at the right place at the right time |
| And we're also looking for reliability on our operations, when we had brown ounce or dirty power from our location and the co-op that we're in, we're able to -- our goal is to increase our run times and efficiencies with cleaner power |
| If oil averaged $75 for the remainder of the year, we see the potential for free cash flow to grow year-over-year by 50% or more in excess of $100 million, which would correspond to 20% yield on the current market value of our equity |
| So, if we can find acquisition with a disproportionately larger amount of undeveloped inventory, that's attractive to us, allows us to earn those higher returns |
| We're excited about what we've seen in the first four or five wells that we've drilled in that play |
| Proved reserves increased reaching 108 million Boe, an increase of 39% year-over-year, and Proved Developed Producing Reserves reached 60 million Boe, increasing 23% year-over-year |
| This integration has allowed us to establish operating synergies through a shared supply chain across the portfolio, leading to streamlined operations |
| Riley achieved a 22% year-over-year organic growth in net oil production, excluding the New Mexico acquisition |
| I'll just add on to that, and that -- we earn our best returns on development |
| Our overall net oil production increased by 49% year-over-year to 13.2 MBoe per day and total net equivalent production by 62% year-over-year to 18.6 MBoe per day |
| I'm pleased to report that 2023 was another outstanding year for Riley Permian |
| Looking ahead, we're excited about our 2024 plan |
| Full year cash flow benefited from three quarters of new volumes from our 2023 New Mexico acquisition as well as the organic growth mentioned |
| They look so much better than they did last year, and I see your natural gas has hedged about $2 over what natural gas prices are selling for and going to cowers on the oil seems like a heck of a good idea |
| As it translates to free cash flow, the combination of higher forecasted volumes with lower spending act as a catalyst for growth, though obviously contingent on oil price |
| We've grown the dividend every year |
| Leveraging these efficiencies, we set our company's record for drilling the quickest 1.5 mile well, completing spud to total depth in just 4.78 days |
| Moving forward, we are steadfast in our commitment to leveraging technology and best practices to enhance efficiencies further |

| Philip Riley Everybody in the basin, you see is experiencing weak natural gas prices |
| Thus far, this has come in below cost estimates |
| The Texas asset may, as far as our immediate area, probably be a little bit slower than it has been in the past |
| Production obviously impacts that |
| So halfway through the year last year, we intentionally slowed down some of the second half activity to even out some front half weighted activity and spend, and as we had confidence in hitting full year production volume targets |
| Some companies may have a bit higher free cash flow conversion rate, but they're generally not growing free cash flow like we anticipate doing, whereas many other companies we've analyzed have weaker forecasts |
| And I wondered what had happened to that, if anything |
| It does feel like it's stabilized |
| The insights gathered from the project thus far have been invaluable, and we anticipate compiling a comprehensive feasibility report by the end of 2024 |
| I hate to try to predict the future here |
| We forecast needing WTI in the low 60s or down 20% year-over-year from 2023 to hold free cash flow flat year-over-year, and that assumes no reduction in growth CapEx, whereas we probably would start to slow down at those price levels |
