*Net production is based upon Nighthawk's Net Revenue Interest of approximately 82% save for the Monarch 10-15 well where HAWK has a 16% working interest.
The production decrease for November 2017 was partially due to several wells requiring non-routine workovers to be performed. The Company performed additional workovers in December 2017 and expects to continue these workovers through January 2018.
