HOUSTON, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastar Exploration Inc. (NYSE MKT: GST) ("Gastar" or the "Company") today updated its guidance for third quarter and full year 2017 production.

Gastar expects to report third quarter 2017 production in the range of 6,100-6,300 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day ("Boe/d"), down from prior disclosed guidance of 6,300-6,800 Boe/d, and full year 2017 production in the range of 6,000-6,400 Boe/d, down from prior disclosed guidance of 6,200-6,800 Boe/d, with no change in liquids percentage guidance for either period.
