Gulfport Energy Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

Reinhart continued, “Production volumes during the quarter increased approximately 8% over the first quarter, reflecting strong well results despite approximately 40 MMcfe per day of unplanned midstream outages and constraints. These midstream impacts included infrastructure disruptions, processing plant outages and involuntary throughput reductions. While the majority of the production impacts have been mitigated, midstream capacity enhancement projects remain ongoing, and as a result, we currently forecast our full year 2025 total net production is trending toward the low end of our guidance range.”

“Offsetting these production constraints, we continue to be pleased with the 2025 well results, highlighted by strong production performance across all five of our development areas. The Kage development, a four-well Utica condensate pad in Harrison County, Ohio, continues to exhibit strong oil performance and under revised managed pressure flowback delivered approximately 65% more oil after 120 days than the nearby Gulfport development. In addition, the Company brought online a four-well Utica wet gas pad during the second quarter, currently producing at levels comparable to our Utica dry gas development on a volume equivalent basis but with enhanced cash flows and economics driven by the associated liquids production. This pad marks the first pad turned to sales as a product of our recent discretionary acreage acquisitions and reinforces the continued development of this high-return, rich gas area of the play for years to come,” concluded Reinhart.

Gulfport’s net daily production for the second quarter of 2025 was negatively impacted by approximately 40 MMcfe per day due to unplanned third-party midstream outages and constraints.
