以下是北方石油天然氣公司（NOG）2024年第一季度業績電話會議記錄摘要：
Financial Performance:
財務業績：
Northern Oil and Gas reported a record Q1 production of more than 119,000 BOE per day, a 37% increase compared to Q1 of 2023.
The company had a slightly higher than planned CapEx of $296 million due to pull-forward of organic activity driven by strong oil prices.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 was $387 million, marking a 19% increase from last year, despite the drop from the previous quarter as a result of lower average realized prices per BOE.
The company managed to reduce its debt by around $50 million, despite spending $60 million for share repurchases and dividends.
The Q1 free cash flow was lower than expected at $54 million due to the pull-forward of activities.
北方石油和天然氣公司報告稱，第一季度產量創歷史新高，每天超過11.9萬桶桶油，與2023年第一季度相比增長了37％。
該公司的資本支出略高於計劃的2.96億美元，這要歸因於強勁的油價推動有機活動的推動。
第一季度調整後的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤爲3.87億美元，比去年增長19％，儘管由於英國央行的平均已實現價格下降而比上一季度有所下降。
儘管花費了6000萬美元進行股票回購和分紅，但該公司還是設法將其債務減少了約5000萬美元。
由於活動的增加，第一季度的自由現金流低於預期，爲5400萬美元。

The company aims to increase the dividend, allocate more towards buybacks or for growth prospects by 2025.
Over 30 potential transactions were evaluated in Q1, with the company active in over 10 processes involving asset values between $100 million and $1 billion.
The company looks forward to a volatile market as an opportunity, while ensuring to maintain asset quality and operational efficiency, and aims to maintain resilience in the face of challenges such as the upcoming election year and gas price lows.
儘管面臨高買賣差和高原油價格風險的挑戰，但北方石油和天然氣公司仍在研究潛在的收購機會。

自年底以來，北方石油和天然氣公司的營運資金增加了約4000萬美元。
