Looking ahead. While first quarter production was 5% lower than the prior year period, we expect a stronger second quarter due to wells that went into production in late March and early April and stronger crude oil prices. InPlay plans to drill and bring new production online in the third quarter of 2024 that is focused on high oil-weighted properties. The oil-weighted production from new wells is expected to benefit from higher realized oil prices forecasted for the balance of the year.
Updating estimates. We have increased our 2024 and 2025 EPS estimates to $0.18 and $0.26, respectively, from $0.16 and $0.23. Our estimates reflect modestly higher production in the second and third quarters of 2024 and higher crude oil prices. We forecast adjusted funds flow of $91.0 million in 2024 and $99.4 million in 2025. Depending on the company’s production profile, we think our estimates may prove conservative.
