Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters overallotment option, we sold an additional 825,000 common units at $23.14 per common unit, providing net proceeds of $18.3 million.

Revenues from the sale of natural gas increased by $65.6 million, consisting of increases of $27.2 million due to higher realized prices and $38.4 million due to higher sales volumes. Revenues from the sale of NGL increased by $356.4 million, consisting of an increase of $468.7 million due to higher realized prices, offset by a decrease of $112.3 million due to lower sales volumes. Revenues from the sale of condensate increased by $6.3 million, which is the net of an increase of $7.1 million due to higher realized prices and a decrease of $0.8 million due to lower sales volumes. Non-commodity revenues, which principally include revenues derived from fee-based services and business interruption insurance, increased by $2.9 million.

Our average realized prices for natural gas increased by $0.67 per MMBtu, or 15%, to $5.23 per MMBtu for 2010 compared to $4.56 per MMBtu for 2009.

Revenues increased $138.2 million, or 58%, to $377.2 million for 2010 compared to $239.0 million for 2009.
