Under the terms of the arrangement, each year in which QL participates represents an annual tranche, and QL will be conveyed a working interest in any wells spud by the Company during such tranche year. For 2021 through 2024, the Company and QL agreed to the estimated internal rate of return (“IRR”) of the Company’s capital budget for each annual tranche, and QL agreed to participate in all four annual tranches. The Company develops and manages the drilling program associated with each tranche, including the selection of wells. Additionally, for each annual tranche, the Company and QL will enter into assignments, bills of sale and conveyances pursuant to which QL will be conveyed a proportionate working interest percentage in each well spud in that year, which conveyances will not be subject to any reversion. Under the terms of the arrangement, QL funded development capital of 20% for wells spud in 2021 and 2024 and 15% for wells spud in 2022 and 2023, which funding amounts represent QL’s proportionate working interest in such wells. Additionally, the Company may receive a carry in the form of a one-time payment from QL for each annual tranche if the IRR for such tranche exceeds certain specified returns, which will be determined no earlier than October 31 and no later than December 1 following the end of each tranche year. The Company received a carry of $29 million for each of the 2021 and 2022 tranches during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and a carry of $32 million for the 2023 tranche during the year ended December 31, 2024. Capital costs in excess of, and cost savings below, a specified percentage of budgeted amounts for each annual tranche will be for the Company’s account. Subject to the preceding sentence, for any wells included in a tranche, QL is obligated and responsible for its working interest share of costs and liabilities, and is entitled to its working interest share of revenues, associated with such wells for the life of such wells.
