PDC Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCE) earned $13.2 million during the fourth quarter vs. a loss of $126.2 million the same period a year earlier, the oil and gas producer said Thursday.

PDC Energy, which explores for oil and gas in Weld County, saw its production increase nearly 60 percent to 26,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up from 17,000 per day in the fourth quarter. The increase came primarily from drilling in the Wattenberg field in Weld, PDC said.

In 2013, “We once again achieved double-digit growth in production and reserves,” CEO James Trimble said in an earnings statement.
