Derivative Instruments |
Derivative Instruments | (11) Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, and it may use derivative instruments to manage its commodity price risk. In addition, the Company periodically enters into contracts that contain embedded features that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivatives.
(a) | Commodity Derivative Positions
The Company periodically enters into natural gas, NGLs and oil derivative contracts with counterparties to hedge the price risk associated with its production. These derivatives are not entered into for trading purposes. To the extent that changes occur in the market prices of natural gas, NGLs and oil, the Company is exposed to market risk on these open contracts. This market risk exposure is generally offset by the change in market prices of natural gas, NGLs and oil recognized upon the ultimate sale of the Company’s production. The Company was party to various commodity derivative contracts that settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. The Company enters into derivative contracts when management believes that favorable future sales prices for the Company’s production can be secured. Under the Company’s swap agreements, when actual commodity prices upon settlement exceed the fixed price provided by the swap contracts, the Company pays the difference to the counterparty. When actual commodity prices upon settlement are less than the contractually provided fixed price, the Company receives the difference from the counterparty. Under the Company’s collar agreements, when actual commodity prices upon settlement are below the floor price provided by the contract, the Company receives the difference from the counterparty. When actual commodity prices upon settlement are above the ceiling price, the Company pays the difference to the counterparty. The Company’s derivative contracts have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, all gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). ​ As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s fixed price swap positions were as follows:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Weighted
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Average
Commodity / Settlement Period |  | Index |  | Contracted Volume |  | Price

January-December 2027 | ​ | Henry Hub | ​ | 80,000 | MMBtu/day | ​ | ​ | 3.92 | /MMBtu
​ As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s collar contract positions were as follows:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Weighted | ​ | Weighted | ​

January-December 2026 | ​ | Henry Hub | ​ | 500,000 | MMBtu/day | ​ | $ | 5.83 | /MMBtu | ​ | $ | 3.22 | /MMBtu | ​
​ The Company has a call option and an embedded put option tied to NYMEX pricing for the production volumes associated with the Company’s retained interest in the volumetric production payment transaction (“VPP”) properties. The put option was embedded within another contract, and since the embedded put option was not clearly and closely related to its host contract, the Company bifurcated this derivative instrument and reflects it at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s call option and embedded put option arrangements were as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Embedded | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Call Option | ​ | Put Option | ​

​ During the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of Martica’s derivative contracts expired. As of September 30, 2025, Martica had no derivative instruments. ​
