	2024		2023
Revenues:
Revenues from services and fees to Poseidon(1)	$	4,983	$	3,592
Costs and expenses:
Amounts paid to our CEO in connection with the use of his aircraft	$	165	$	165
Charges for products purchased from Poseidon(1)	286		282

(1)We own a 64% interest in Poseidon.

Our CEO, Mr. Grant E. Sims, owns an aircraft which is used by us for business purposes in the course of operations. We pay Mr. Sims a fixed monthly fee and reimburse the aircraft management company for costs related to our usage of the aircraft, including fuel and the actual out-of-pocket costs. Based on current market rates for chartering of private aircraft under long-term, priority arrangements with industry recognized chartering companies, we believe that the terms of this arrangement reflect what we would expect to obtain in an arms-length transaction.

Currently, that agreement automatically renews annually unless terminated by either party (as defined in the agreement). Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of fees we earned through the provision of services under that agreement. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Poseidon owed us $1.9 million for services rendered.
