Zig Vitols, president and chief executive officer, commented, “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 on the global economy –and the oil and gas industry in particular – was unprecedented. While our topline results reflected the difficult operating environment, I am proud to report that our management and employee team rose quickly to the challenge by further reducing expenses as appropriate. In addition, we immediately transitioned our collective efforts to the completion of our plant reconfiguration project to ensure we would be ready to benefit from a lower cost profile once our customers’ well completion activities resumed. We were pleased to see that happen at the beginning of the third quarter and look forward to continued improvement in production and sales levels as we move through the remainder of the year.”
