The 56 Largest Non-Texas Oil & Gas Cos Total Pretax Earnings Collapsed to Down 22% in the March 2019 Quarter, After Blistering Increases of 571% in the December 2018 Quarter and of 332% in the September 2018 Quarter

So It Wasn't Just the Texas Oil & Gas Cos Whose Earnings Crashed in the March 2019 Quarter, After Blistering Earnings Increases in Both the December 2018 Quarter and the September 2018 Quarter.
......................................................................
The 17 Oklahoma Oil & Gas Cos Pretax Earnings Declined By 66% in the March 2019 Quarter
......................................................................
The 14 Colorado Oil & Gas Cos Pretax Earnings Declined By 200% in the March 2019 Quarter
......................................................................

From a review of SEC filings, Google Finance and Market Watch Big Charts, I found 57 Non-Texas Headquartered Oil & Gas Companies with stock markets caps of above $1 bil sometime since the beginning of 2018 and which also disclosed their quarterly Pretax Income in all of the three most recent quarters.  Included in these 57 Cos was Colorado-based Antero Resources, which recorded a clearly Non-Operational Gain on Deconsolidation of Antero Midstream Partners LP of $1.4 Bil in the March 2019 Quarter. That leaves 56 Cos. 

My Focus is on Pretax Income rather than on After-Tax Net Income because Income Taxes are simply a transfer of financial wealth between US Corporations and the US Federal, US State and Foreign Governments.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with company operating performance.



From SEC filings, the chart below shows the Gold-Standard US GAAP Pretax  Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the March Quarters of both 2019 and 2018, the December Quarters of both 2018 and 2017 and the September Quarters of both 2018 and 2017 for each of these 56 Non-Texas Oil & Gas Companies.
