J.P. Vickers, President of GeoResources, said, "Increases in revenue and operating income were driven by higher production volumes and strong oil prices that were somewhat offset by slightly lower natural gas prices. Much of the production increase came from the Hammond Field in Carter County Montana, which we successfully brought online in late September."
