Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has drilling rig contracts with terms ranging from less than one year to three years. The service contracts with terms less than one year are generally for terms ranging from 45 days to six months. The Company has three drilling rigs under contract with initial terms of three years that were put into service in 2023 and 2024. These three rigs qualify as operating leases and their corresponding lease obligation is reflected on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. In August 2024, the Company entered into agreements for two additional drilling rigs, one with a three-year term and one with a one-year term, with an annual commitment of $12.8 million per drilling rig. Comstock plans to take delivery of both drilling rigs in 2025.

The Company has natural gas transportation and gathering contracts which extend to 2031. Commitments under these contracts are $84.4 million for 2025, $91.6 million for 2026, $90.0 million for 2027, $82.9 million for 2028, $73.8 million for 2029 and $98.0 million for 2029 through 2035. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, expenditures under these contracts totaled $92.8 million, $96.5 million and $50.1 million, respectively.

From time to time, the Company is involved in certain litigation that arise in the normal course of its operations. The Company records a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and no material amounts are accrued relative to these matters at December 31, 2024 or 2023.
