There was $266.3 million in net income, Eagle Rock said.
There was $53.6 million in product revenue, 3% higher than the second quarter’s $52 million. This was due to lower commodity prices and higher production volumes, the company noted.
Operating expenses totaled $13.9 million, 4% less than the second quarter’s. General and administrative expenses were 12% lower than the second quarters, at $9.3 million.
Operating income increased to $32.8 million in the third quarter, compared with the second quarter’s $12.8 million loss.

Natural gas production increased 5% quarter-over-quarter to 3.09 billion cubic feet (Bcf) from 2.94 Bcf. The higher production was due to strong performance from three Golden Trend Field wells and four nonoperated Briar wells in the Woodford Scoop, the company added.
