Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. Reports Operating And Financial Results For The Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012

Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) (“ARP” or “the Company”) has reported operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012.

Matthew A. Jones, President and Chief Operating Officer of ARP, said, “Our results for the fourth quarter highlight the meaningful progress we have made towards our objectives in expanding our enterprise through a strong asset base. This is evidenced by ARP’s completion in less than a year of approximately $650 million in acquisitions of valuable oil & gas reserves and undeveloped positions in the Fort Worth Basin. Notably, the recently completed acquisition in the Marble Falls region fully compliments our already well-established assets and operating team in Fort Worth, and we look forward to the contributions of this oil & liquids play to our production margin. We have also made further improvements in our efficiency of operations and drilling activities. As a result, we expect our efforts to drive future cash flow growth while maintaining a solid capital position.”
