Demand and prices for Antero Resources' products, particularly natural gas, are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Mild winters or summers can reduce the impact of these fluctuations. Some natural gas users utilize storage facilities and purchase a portion of their anticipated winter needs during the spring, summer, and fall, which can also mitigate seasonal demand swings. Seasonal anomalies can also lead to increased competition for equipment, supplies, and personnel during the spring and summer months, potentially increasing costs.
