Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Estimated quantities of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate reserves is a significant estimate that requires judgment. All of the reserve data included in this Form 10-K are estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate reserves. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserves estimates may be different from the quantities of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil and condensate that are ultimately recovered. See Supplemental Information on Natural Gas and Oil Exploration, Development and Production Activities for further detail. Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, asset retirement obligations, goodwill, valuation of derivative instruments and valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, among others. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Business Segment Information | Business Segment Information We have evaluated how we are organized and managed and have identified only one operating segment, which is the exploration and production of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate in the United States. We consider our gathering, processing and marketing functions as integral to our natural gas, crude oil and condensate producing activities. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate operational financial information is available and this information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. We have a single company-wide management team that administers all properties as a whole rather than by discrete operating segments. We track only basic operational data by area. We do not maintain complete separate financial statement information by area. We measure financial performance as a single enterprise and not on a geographical or area-by-area basis. Throughout the year, we allocate capital resources on a project-by-project basis, across our entire asset base to optimize returns without regard to individual areas.
Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Gas Imbalances | Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Gas Imbalances Natural gas, NGLs and oil sales revenues are generally recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. See a more detailed summary of our product types below. Natural Gas and NGLs Sales Under our gas processing contracts, we deliver natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to us for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. In these scenarios, we evaluate whether we are the principal or the agent in the transaction. For those contracts that we have concluded that we are the principal, the ultimate third party is our customer and we recognize revenue on a gross basis, with gathering, compression, processing and transportation fees presented as an expense. Alternatively, for those contracts that we have concluded that we are the agent, the midstream processing entity is our customer and we recognize revenue based on the net amount of the proceeds received from the midstream processing entity. In certain natural gas processing agreements, we may elect to take our residue gas and/or NGLs in kind at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant and subsequently market the product on our own. Through the marketing process, we deliver product to the ultimate third-party purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point and receive a specified index price from the purchaser. In this scenario, we recognize revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the index price received from the purchaser. The gathering, processing and compression fees attributable to the gas processing contract, as well as any transportation fees incurred to deliver the product to the purchaser, are presented as transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense. Oil Sales Our oil sales contracts are generally structured in one of the following ways:
| • | We sell oil production at the wellhead and collect an agreed-upon index price, net of transportation incurred by the purchaser (that is, a netback arrangement). In this scenario, we recognize revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead at the net price received. |
| • | We deliver oil to the purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes custody, title, and risk of loss of the product. Under this arrangement, we pay a third party to transport the product and receive a specified index price from the purchaser with no deduction. In this scenario, we recognize revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser. The third-party costs are recorded as transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense. |
Brokered Natural Gas, Marketing and Other We realize brokered margins as a result of buying natural gas or NGLs utilizing separate purchase transactions, generally with separate counterparties and subsequently selling that natural gas or NGLs under our existing contracts to fill our contract commitments or use existing infrastructure contracts to economically fulfill available capacity. In these arrangements, we take control of the natural gas purchased prior to delivery of that gas under our existing gas contracts with a separate counterparty. Revenues and expenses related to brokering natural gas are reported gross as part of revenues and expenses in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Our net brokered margin was a loss of $16.3 million in 2018 compared to losses of $5.7 million in 2017 and losses of $2.8 million in 2016. Although receivables are concentrated in the oil and gas industry, we do not view this as an unusual credit risk. We provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts for specific receivables judged unlikely to be collected based on the age of the receivable, our experience with the debtor, potential offsets to the amount owed and economic conditions. In certain instances, we require purchasers to post stand-by letters of credit. Many of our receivables are from joint interest owners of properties we operate. Thus, we may have the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings. We have allowances for doubtful accounts relating to exploration and production receivables of $6.1 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $7.1 million at December 31, 2017. We recorded bad debt income of $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to expense of $1.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 and expense of $800,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016. Revenues from the production of natural gas, NGLs and oil on properties in which we have joint ownership are recorded under the sales method. Under the sales method, we and other joint owners may sell more or less than our entitled share of production. Should our sales exceed our share of remaining reasonable reserves, a liability is recorded. Imbalances are not significant in the periods presented. The recognition of gains or losses on derivative instruments is not considered revenue from contracts with customers. We may use financial or physical contracts accounted for as derivatives as economic hedges to manage price risk associated with normal sales or in limited cases may use them for contracts we intend to physically settle but that do not meet all of the criteria to be treated as normal sales.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and investments in highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets and the change in such overdrafts is classified as a financing activity on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities Investments in unaffiliated equity securities held in our deferred compensation plans qualify as trading securities and are recorded at fair value. Investments held in the deferred compensation plans consist of various publicly-traded mutual funds. These funds include equity securities and money market instruments and are reported in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Inventory | Inventory Inventories were comprised of $8.0 million of materials and supplies at December 31, 2018 compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2017. Inventories consist primarily of tubular goods and equipment used in our operations and are stated at the lower of specific cost of each inventory item or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Our material and supplies inventory is primarily acquired for use in future drilling operations or repair operations and is reviewed periodically for obsolescence or impairment when market conditions indicate. At December 31, 2018, we also had commodity inventory of $965,000, compared to $508,000 at December 31, 2017, which is carried at lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Commodity inventory at December 31, 2018 consists of NGLs held as line fill in pipelines or tanks.
Goodwill | Goodwill During 2016, we recorded $1.7 billion of goodwill associated with our MRD Merger, which represented the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In 2017, final purchase adjustments for the MRD Merger resulted in a $13.1 million decrease to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually, as of November 1st, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. We assess the value of our business under either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, we consider various market factors, including an examination of relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on our business, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions (including current commodity prices), earnings and cash flows, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. These factors are analyzed to determine if events and circumstances have affected the fair value of our business. If we determine that it is more likely that our business is impaired, the quantitative approach is used to assess our fair value and the amount of the impairment. When performing a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill, fair value is estimated based on a combination of (i) projected discounted cash flows (an income approach); and (ii) market capitalization plus a control premium approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of factors including estimates of forecasted revenue and operating costs, proved reserves, as well as the success of future exploration for, and development of, unproved reserves, discount rates and other variables. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs reserves, including both proved reserves and risk-adjusted unproved reserves, estimates of market prices considering forward commodity price curves as of the measurement date, and estimates of operating, administrative and capital costs adjusted for inflation. We discount the resulting future cash flows using a peer company based weighted average cost of capital. The estimated market capitalization approach is determined by multiplying our average stock price and outstanding common shares plus a control premium. The control premium reflects the impact on asking price for a controlling interest in a company based on recent transaction premiums of comparable companies. This requires management to make certain judgments including the selection of comparable companies and/or comparable recent company asset transactions and transaction premiums. If our carrying value exceeds our fair value calculated using the quantitative approach, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between fair value and carrying value. In fourth quarter 2018, we determined goodwill was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 billion. For more information, see Note 11.
Natural Gas and Oil Properties | Natural Gas and Oil Properties Property Acquisition Costs. We use the successful efforts method of accounting for natural gas and oil producing activities. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed. Costs incurred for exploratory wells that find reserves that cannot yet be classified as proved are capitalized if (a) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) we are making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The status of suspended well costs is monitored continuously and reviewed not less than quarterly. We capitalize successful exploratory wells and all developmental wells, whether successful or not. Due to the capital-intensive nature and the geographical location of certain projects, it may take an extended period of time to evaluate the future potential of an exploration project and the economics associated with making a determination on its commercial viability. In these instances, the project’s feasibility is not contingent upon price improvements or advances in technology, but rather our ongoing efforts and expenditures related to accurately predicting the hydrocarbon recoverability based on well information, gaining access to other companies’ production data in the area, transportation or processing facilities and/or obtaining partner approval to drill additional appraisal wells. These activities are ongoing and are being pursued constantly. Consequently, our assessment of suspended exploratory well costs is continuous until a decision can be made that the project has found proved reserves to sanction the project or is noncommercial and is charged to exploration expense. For more information regarding suspended exploratory well costs, see Note 17. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved producing properties, including other property and equipment such as gathering lines related to natural gas and oil producing activities, is provided on the units of production method. Historically, we have adjusted our depletion rates in the fourth quarter of each year based on the year-end reserve report and at other times during the year when circumstances indicate there has been a significant change in reserves or costs. In the year ended December 31, 2015, the fair value of our natural gas and oil properties in Northwest Pennsylvania was determined to be zero. As a result, any future adjustments to the asset retirement liability for these properties represents an impairment expense and we have elected to record such expense in depreciation, depletion and amortization. In the year ended December 31, 2018, additional expense of $9.8 million was recorded related to these costs compared to $158,000 in the year ended December 31, 2017 and $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. Impairments. Our proved natural gas and oil properties are reviewed for impairment annually and periodically as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These assets are reviewed for potential impairment at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of other groups of assets which is the level at which depletion is calculated. The review is done by determining if the historical cost of proved properties less the applicable accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization is less than the estimated expected undiscounted future net cash flows. The expected future net cash flows are estimated based on our plans to produce and develop reserves. Expected future net cash inflow from the sale of produced reserves is calculated based on estimated future prices and estimated operating and development costs. We estimate prices based upon market-related information including published futures prices. The estimated future level of production, which is based on proved and risk adjusted probable and possible reserves, has assumptions surrounding the future levels of prices and costs, field decline rates, market demand and supply, and the economic and regulatory climate. In certain circumstances, we also consider potential sales of properties to third parties in our estimates of cash flows. When the carrying value exceeds the sum of undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair market value (as determined by discounted future net cash flows using a discount rate similar to that used by market participants) and the carrying value of the asset. A significant amount of judgment is involved in performing these evaluations since the results are based on estimated future events. Such events include a projection of future natural gas and oil prices, an estimate of the ultimate amount of recoverable natural gas and oil reserves that will be produced from an asset group, the timing of future production, future production costs, future abandonment costs and future inflation. We cannot predict whether impairment charges may be required in the future. If natural gas, NGLs and oil prices decrease or drilling efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to record additional impairments. For additional information regarding proved property impairments, see Note 11. We evaluate our unproved property investment periodically for impairment. The majority of these costs generally relate to the acquisition of leasehold costs and allocated probable and possible reserves value resulting from acquisitions. The costs are capitalized and evaluated (at least quarterly) as to recoverability based on changes brought about by economic factors and potential shifts in business strategy employed by management which could impact the number of drilling locations we intend to drill. Impairment of a significant portion of our unproved properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis based on our average holding period, expected forfeiture rate and anticipated drilling success. Information such as reservoir performance or future plans to develop acreage is also considered. Impairment of individually significant unproved property is assessed on a property-by-property basis considering a combination of time, geologic and engineering factors. In certain circumstances, our future plans to develop acreage may accelerate our impairment. A significant portion of our unproved property is the result of value allocated in the MRD Merger related to probable and possible reserves whose recoverability is evaluated based on managements expectations and ability to drill these locations. Unproved properties had a net book value of $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2018 compared to $2.6 billion in 2017. We have recorded abandonment and impairment expense related to unproved properties of $515.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $269.7 million in 2017 and $30.1 million in 2016. Abandonment and impairment expense in 2018 includes an impairment of $436.0 million related to probable and possible reserve value allocated in the MRD Merger which we no longer have the intent to drill. Dispositions. Proceeds from the disposal of natural gas and oil producing properties that are part of an amortization base are credited to the net book value of the amortization group with no immediate effect on income. However, gain or loss is recognized if the disposition is significant enough to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the amortization base. Dispositions are accounted for as a sale of assets. For additional information regarding our dispositions, see Note 4. Acquisitions. Acquisitions of proved properties are accounted for as either a business combination or an asset acquisition and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the closing date of the acquisition. In a business combination, purchase prices are allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition. In an asset acquisition, fair value is assigned to the assets acquired. In the past, acquisitions have been funded with internal cash flow, bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities. For additional information regarding our acquisitions, see Note 4.
Other Property and Equipment | Other Property and Equipment Other property and equipment includes assets such as buildings, furniture and fixtures, field equipment, leasehold improvements and data processing and communication equipment. These items are generally depreciated by individual components on a straight-line basis over their economic useful life, which is generally from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic useful lives or the underlying terms of the associated leases. Depreciation expense was $6.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $7.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 and $8.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2016.
Other Assets | Other Assets Other assets at December 31, 2018 include $57.3 million of marketable securities held in our deferred compensation plans and $9.1 million of other investments including surface acreage. Other assets at December 31, 2017 include $67.1 million of marketable securities held in our deferred compensation plans and $9.6 million of other investments including surface acreage.
Stock-based Compensation Arrangements | Stock-based Compensation Arrangements We account for stock-based compensation under the fair value method of accounting. We grant various types of stock-based awards including restricted stock and performance-based awards. The fair value of our restricted stock awards and our performance-based awards (where the performance condition is based on internal performance metrics) is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of our performance-based awards where the performance condition is based on market conditions is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation method. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The expense we recognize is net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate our forfeiture rate based on prior experience and adjust it as circumstances warrant. If actual forfeitures are different than expected, adjustments to recognize expense may be required in future periods. To the extent possible, we limit the amount of shares to be issued for these awards by satisfying tax withholding requirements with cash. All awards have been issued at prevailing market prices at the time of grant and the vesting of these awards is based on an employee’s continued employment with us, with the exception of employment termination due to death, disability or retirement. For additional information regarding stock-based compensation, see Note 12.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging | Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging All of our derivative instruments are issued to manage the price risk attributable to our expected natural gas, NGLs and oil production. While there is risk that the financial benefit of rising natural gas, NGLs and oil prices may not be captured, we believe the benefits of stable and predictable cash flow are more important. Among these benefits are more efficient utilization of existing personnel and planning for future staff additions, the flexibility to enter into long-term projects requiring substantial committed capital, smoother and more efficient execution of our ongoing development drilling and production enhancement programs, more consistent returns on invested capital and better access to bank and other capital markets. All unsettled derivative instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at their fair value. In most cases, our derivatives are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets on a net basis by brokerage firm when they are governed by master netting agreements. Changes in a derivative’s fair value are recognized in earnings. Cash flows from derivative contract settlements are reflected in operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. All realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are accounted for using the mark-to-market accounting method. We recognize all unrealized and realized gains and losses related to these contracts in each period in derivative fair value in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Certain of our derivatives are swaps where we receive a fixed price for our production and pay market prices to the counterparty. We also have collars which establish a minimum floor price and a predetermined ceiling price. At times, we have also entered into basis swap agreements. The price we receive for our natural gas production can be more or less than the NYMEX price because of adjustments for delivery location (“basis”), relative quality and other factors; therefore, we have entered into natural gas basis swap agreements that effectively fix our basis adjustments. We have also entered into propane basis swaps which lock in the differential between Mont Belvieu and international propane indexes. Beginning in third quarter 2017, we entered into combined natural gas derivative instruments containing a fixed price swap and a sold option to extend or double the volume (which we refer to as a swaption). The swap price is a fixed price determined at the time of the swaption contract. If the option is exercised, the contract will become a swap treated consistently with our fixed-price swaps. For additional information regarding our derivatives, see Note 10. From time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts and pay or receive premium payments at the inception of the derivative contract which represent the fair value of the contract at its inception. These amounts would be included within the net derivative asset or liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The amounts paid or received for derivative premiums reduce or increase the amount of gains and losses that are recorded in the earnings each period as the derivative contracts settle. During 2018, we did not materially modify any existing derivative contracts.
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk As of December 31, 2018, our primary concentrations of credit risk are the risks of collecting accounts receivable and the risk of counterparties’ failure to perform under derivative contracts. Most of our receivables are from a diverse group of companies, including major energy companies, pipeline companies, local distribution companies, financial institutions, commodity traders and end-users in various industries and such receivables are generally unsecured. This concentration of companies may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these entities may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. To manage risks of collecting accounts receivable, we monitor our counterparties’ financial strength and/or credit ratings and where we deem necessary, we obtain parent company guarantees, prepayments, letters of credit or other credit enhancements to reduce risk of loss. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $6.1 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $7.1 million at December 31, 2017. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial results due to non-performance by third parties. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we had one customer that accounted for 10% or more of total natural gas, NGLs and oil sales. We believe that the loss of any one customer would not have an adverse effect on our ability to sell our natural gas, NGLs and oil production. We have executed International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with counterparties for the purpose of entering into derivative contracts. To manage counterparty risk associated with our derivatives, we select and monitor counterparties based on assessment of their financial strength and/or credit ratings. We may also limit the level of exposure with any single counterparty. Additionally, the terms of our ISDA Agreements provide us and our counterparties with netting rights such that we may offset payables against receivables with a counterparty under separate derivative contracts. Our ISDA Agreements also generally contain set-off rights such that, upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either us or a counterparty to a derivative contract, the non-defaulting party may set-off receivables owed under all derivative contracts against payables from other agreements with that counterparty. The majority of our derivative contracts have no margin requirements or collateral provisions that would require us to fund or post additional collateral prior to the scheduled cash settlement date. At December 31, 2018, our derivative counterparties included twenty financial institutions and commodity traders, of which all but four are secured lenders in our bank credit facility. At December 31, 2018, our net derivative asset includes a receivable from the counterparties not included in our bank credit facility totaling $9.7 million. In determining fair value of derivative assets, we evaluate the risk of non-performance and incorporate factors such as amounts owed under other agreements permitting set-off, as well as pricing of credit default swaps for the counterparty. Net derivative liabilities are determined in part by using our market based credit spread to incorporate our theoretical risk of non-performance.
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The fair value of asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period they are incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the abandonment of natural gas and oil producing facilities and include costs to dismantle and relocate or dispose of production platforms, gathering systems, wells and related structures. Estimates are based on historical experience of plugging and abandoning wells, estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserve estimates, external estimates of the cost to plug and abandon the wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements. We are required to operate and maintain our natural gas pipeline systems and intend to do so as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists, which we expect for the foreseeable future. Therefore, these assets have indeterminate lives. Depreciation of capitalized asset retirement costs will generally be determined on a units-of-production basis while accretion to be recognized will escalate over the life of the producing assets. See Note 9 for additional information.
Contingencies | Contingencies We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and liabilities and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. See Note 15 for a more detailed discussion regarding our contingencies.
Environmental Costs | Environmental Costs Environmental expenditures are capitalized if the costs mitigate or prevent future contamination or if the costs improve environmental safety or efficiency of the existing assets. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations that have no future economic benefits are expensed.
Deferred Taxes | Deferred Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases as reported in our filings with the respective taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets are recorded when it is more likely than not that they will be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on several interrelated factors. These factors may include our expectation to generate sufficient taxable income in the periods before tax credits and operating loss carryforwards expire. All deferred taxes are classified as long-term on the balance sheet.
Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Pension Accounting Standard In March 2017, an accounting standards update was issued which provides additional guidance on the presentation of net benefit cost in the statement of operations. Employers are to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same consolidated results of operations line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. This new standards update was effective for annual reporting periods in first quarter 2018 and must be applied retrospectively. We adopted this standards update in first quarter 2018. The adoption did not impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures. We had no service cost recorded prior to 2018 due to the implementation of our post retirement benefit plan at the end of 2017. In 2018, our service cost is recorded in general and administrative expense. Modification of Share – Based Awards In May 2017, an accounting standards update was issued which clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based award. This standards update was intended to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. We adopted this standards update in first quarter 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures. Revenue Recognition Standard In May 2014, an accounting standards update was issued that superseded the existing revenue recognition requirements. This standard included a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Among other things, the standard also eliminated industry-specific revenue guidance, required enhanced disclosures about revenue, provided guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improved guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This standard was effective for us in first quarter 2018 and we adopted the new standards update using the modified retrospective method to all open contracts as of January 1, 2018. Our implementation of this standard did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment on date of adoption; however, our financial statement presentation related to revenue received from certain gas processing contracts changed. Based on previous accounting guidance, certain of our gas processing contracts were reported in revenue at the net price (net of processing costs) we receive. Upon adoption of this accounting standards update, these contracts are now reported as a gross price received at a delivery point and separate transportation, marketing and processing expense. The impact of adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on our current period results is as follows (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, 2018
As Reported |  |  | Previous Revenue Recognition Method |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| $ |  |  |  | $ Per mcfe |  |  |  | $ |  |  |  | $ Per mcfe |  |  |  | Increase |  |  |  | $ Per mcfe
Revenues: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Natural gas, NGLs and oil sales | $ | 2,851,077 |  |  | $ | 3.55 |  |  | $ | 2,678,278 |  |  | $ | 3.33 |  |  | $ | 172,799 |  |  | $ | 0.22
Costs and expenses: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Transportation, gathering, processing and compression | $ | 1,117,816 |  |  | $ | 1.39 |  |  | $ | 945,017 |  |  | $ | 1.17 |  |  | $ | 172,799 |  |  | $ | 0.22
Net loss | $ | (1,746,481 | ) |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (1,746,481 | ) |  |  |  |  |  | $ | — |  |  |  |
Changes to natural gas, NGLs and oil sales and transportation, gathering, processing, and compression expenses is due to the conclusion that we represent the role of principal in certain gas processing and marketing agreements with a midstream entity in accordance with the new accounting standard. This represents a change from our previous conclusion utilizing the principal versus agent indication that we acted as the agent in that agreement. As a result, we were required to modify our presentation to present revenue on a gross basis for amounts expected to be received from third-party customers through the marketing process, with expenses incurred prior to control of the products transferring to the midstream entity at the tailgate of the plant presented as transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense. Goodwill Standard In January 2017, an accounting standards update was issued that eliminates the requirements to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure any goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities are to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption was permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed in first quarter 2017 or later. We elected to adopt this accounting standards update in first quarter 2017. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures at adoption; however, this standard did change our policy for our annual goodwill impairment assessment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. Inventory Standard In July 2015, an accounting standards update was issued that requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This excludes inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. This standard was effective for us in first quarter 2017 and was applied prospectively. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows In August 2016, an accounting standards update was issued that clarifies how entities classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective for us in first quarter 2018 and should be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. We adopted this new standard in fourth quarter 2017 on a retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated cash flow statement presentation. Definition of a Business In January 2017, an accounting standards update was issued which clarifies the definition of a business. This new standard was effective for us in first quarter 2018 with early adoption permitted. We adopted this new standard in fourth quarter 2017. Adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures. Share-Based Payment Awards In March 2016, an accounting standards update was issued that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. We adopted this accounting standards update in fourth quarter 2016 which required us to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that included the interim period of adoption. As a result of this adoption, all cash payments for withheld shares made to taxing authorities on the employee’s behalf are presented in the financing section instead of the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. The change in the statement of cash flows was not material for the year ended December 31, 2016. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings and reduced our deferred tax liability for $101.1 million for previously unrecognized tax benefits due to our NOL position. Adoption of this new standards update resulted in the recognition of an excess tax deficiency in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Not Yet Adopted Lease Accounting Standard In February 2016, an accounting standards update was issued that requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than twelve months. Classification of leases as either a finance or operating lease will determine the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses. This accounting standards update also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. This standard does not apply to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil or natural gas resources, including the right to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained. We have evaluated each of our lease arrangements and have enhanced our systems to track and calculate additional information necessary for adoption of this standard. We have identified and documented changes to processes and controls to ensure all impacts of the new standard are effectively addressed. We are evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and finalizing the impact it will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and financial disclosures. While we have yet to finalize the impact this standards update will have on our consolidated financial statements, the adoption will increase our recorded assets and liabilities related to our leases. We will adopt this new standards update in first quarter 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and will recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the adoption date. We are applying the following practical expedients as provided in the standards update:
| • | an election to not apply the recognition requirements in the new standards update to short-term leases (a lease that at commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option); and |
| • | a package of practical expedients to not reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs; and |
| • | a practical expedient to not reassess certain land easements in existence prior to January 1, 2019. |
We have not yet determined the extent of the adjustments that will be required upon implementation of this new standards update. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses In June 2016, an accounting standards update was issued that changes the impairment model for trade receivables, net investments in leases, debt securities, loans and certain other instruments. The standards update requires the use of a forward-looking “expected loss” model as opposed to the current “incurred loss” model. This standards update is effective for us in first quarter 2020 and will be adopted on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the adoption period. Early adoption is permitted starting January 2019. We are evaluating the provisions of this accounting standards update and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and financial disclosures. Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, an accounting standards update was issued which provides additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This new standards update eliminates the requirement to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and provides for additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. This new standards update is effective for us in first quarter 2020 and will be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis depending on the changes that apply. We are evaluating the provisions of this standards update and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on our financial disclosures.
