Management Comments

David French, Rosehill’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased to provide an update on our expected third quarter activity and the resulting estimated growth over second quarter.  As we previously indicated, the third quarter is a meaningful inflection point for our production trajectory given the number of wells completed in our Northern Delaware area as well as contribution from completion work in the Southern Delaware area that carried into the quarter.  Most of the Northern Delaware wells were placed online in late August and early September, providing momentum into the remainder of 2019 and supplemented by our planned fourth quarter drilling and completion activity.  Our fall borrowing base redetermination is currently underway, and we expect the contribution from this along with our drilling activities to meaningfully improve our liquidity over the remainder of the year.  We look forward to providing additional results with our third quarter earnings announcement.”
