Blue Mantis' Josh Dinneen Honored with Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Kevin A. Houston Award
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Mantis, a leading provider of digital strategy and services specializing in managed services, cybersecurity and cloud solutions, today announced that its CEO, Josh Dinneen, has been honored as the recipient of the Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Kevin A. Houston Award. This prestigious recognition is awarded annually by InnoVets and Massachusetts Fallen Heros and it commemorates veterans who exemplify extraordinary service and demonstrate a positive impact on the lives of military families.
Dinneen, a former sergeant in the U. S. Marine Corps, received the award during the Patriot Week Gala, held at the Encore Boston Harbor Hotel Thursday, May 22. Patriot Week, established in 2016 by InnoVets, is a week-long event series dedicated to spreading awareness of military life and honoring Fallen Heroes. It brings together the veterans and military families for ceremonies, discussions, and celebrations, recognizing local leaders who make meaningful contributions to the Veteran and Gold Star communities.
The award pays tribute to the legacy of Houston, a highly decorated Navy SEAL known for his exceptional courage and dedication to duty. Born in West Hyannis Port, Mass., Houston enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1995 and embarked on a distinguished career marked by valor and selflessness. His legacy continues to inspire those who serve and those who support military communities.
'I am incredibly honored to receive the Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Kevin A. Houston Award,' said Dinneen. 'Patriot Week is a powerful reminder of the commitment we share to support our veterans and their families. As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, I am proud to contribute to InnoVet's mission and continue Chief Petty Officer Houston's legacy.'

Houston Award and we congratulate him on this honor,' said Dan Magoon, Co-Founder and Executive Director, InnoVets.

Prairie Operating Co. Reports Record Q2 Surge in Revenue, Production, and Profit
Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) posted a blowout second quarter for 2025, with revenue, earnings, and production all soaring on the back of major acquisitions and operational gains in the Denver-Julesburg Basin. The Houston-based independent energy producer booked $68.1 million in Q2 revenue, up about 400% from the previous quarter, as daily production jumped over 540% to a record 21,052 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d), roughly half of which was oil. Net income surged more than 500% to $35.7 million, with adjusted EBITDA climbing over 600% to $38.6 million. Prairie's rapid growth was fueled by its third strategic acquisition in less than a year — more than $600 million in producing oil and gas assets, including the March 2025 Bayswater deal, which expanded operated wells from 34 to over 360. The company also initiated a hedging program locking in favorable oil and gas pricing through 2028 and expanded its credit facility to $475 million. Operationally, the company drilled 18 and completed nine wells in Q2, with notable performance on the 11-well Rusch pad in Weld County and adoption of U-shaped lateral designs to boost recovery in constrained lease areas. Prairie also deployed an electric frac fleet to cut emissions and costs, achieving record completion efficiencies on the nine-well Opal-Coalbank pad. CEO Edward Kovalik called the quarter a 'tremendous growth milestone,' crediting disciplined capital allocation and off-market acquisitions for expanding inventory and lowering costs. CFO Greg Patton highlighted that EBITDA has grown six-fold while leverage remains around 1x, positioning Prairie for sustained free cash flow. For 2025, Prairie forecasts average production of 24,000–26,000 Boe/d, capital expenditures of $260–$280 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $240–$260 million, with about 85% of current output hedged. The results underscore Prairie's emergence as a leading consolidator in the DJ Basin, leveraging scale, technical innovation, and cost discipline to drive shareholder returns.
