Great. That makes sense. I appreciate the time. I'll leave it there.

As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. Your next question comes from the line of John Anies with Texas Capital. John, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Hey, good morning, all, and thanks for taking my questions. For my first one, morning, maybe starting with production, Can you walk us through the drivers of the stronger than expected oil volumes and the decline in Hainesville gas volumes during the quarter and how you're thinking about the production trajectory carrying into the second half?

Yeah, I can start with that. So looking at the oil production, we have seen some price driven activity, particularly operators turning ducks to sales. And so we certainly have benefited from that. On the gas side, our gas has we have some higher interest. positions within the Shelby trough. And so depending on the timing of when some of those wells come on, that makes our production a bit lumpy. We've also just seen variability in activity, but with the recent increase in rate counts on us, we are confident that that activity is going to turn into higher production. And then as our development programs advance under our contracted agreements, we're also encouraged by our medium to long-term outlook on gas there.

Yeah, thanks, Chris. I might just add in too, John, that when you look at our portfolio, it's great to be in a place where we've got the diversity of oil and gas assets. I mean, I think we've seen that play into the first part of this year and the strong results and also the significant leasing that's been going on across the Permian, the Bakken, and elsewhere. I mean, one place to really be thinking about it is the Woodford Barnett as that's getting more attention. We've certainly seen more leasing there on us. And I think as we're really driving a lot of resource expansion in the Haynesville and certainly spending a lot of time focusing on development agreements there, it's worth noting that we're participating in resource expansion in some of the other plays. I think that's benefiting us in leasing dollars today, but ultimately production and activity down the line.

I appreciate all that color. Maybe for my follow-up, we've seen a significant increase in activity across your three-county Shelby Trough area, which I think stands at roughly 19 rigs today. What do you think is driving that acceleration despite the software gas type, and how much of that activity reflects operators maybe delineating acreage today to support future development commitments?

Yeah, John, good question. I mean, I think it's a little bit of both. I think there are some operators that are certainly seeing some nice returns in the current environment, as well as the incentives to delineate and certainly stick to their commitments under our development agreements. So we've seen the same. I think there's clearly an industry pull towards the Shelby Trough as inventories dwindling in the legacy Hainesville. And I think that's a dynamic. we're going to continue to see. Certainly, we're excited about the trajectory of the activity and where that puts us as we go over the next couple of years, but really into 29 and 30 as the industry is looking for natural gas inventory to supply the coming wave of demand. And we think we're really well positioned for that, where our assets sit in proximity to the Gulf Coast, of course, as well as increasing power demand. So I do think there is just a continued increase of activity towards the Shelby Trough and the expanding Hainesville. And our acreage is really well positioned to grab that market share and take advantage of it.

Thanks, guys. I'll leave it there. Thanks, Sean.

We have reached the end of our question and answer session. I will now turn the call back to Taylor for closing remarks.

Thanks, everybody, for joining us this morning. And, you know, as we've talked about, we're really excited to continue our solid execution of our differentiated strategy across our diverse portfolio. We continue to, you know, really stay confident in our trajectory and trying to return as much value to our unit holders as we can. So we look forward to speaking with all of you again next quarter. Thanks.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.
