(1) | Included in the Company’s proved oil and gas properties are estimates of future asset retirement costs of $38.4 million and $36.9 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Impairment. As a result of expiring leases and periodic assessments of unproved properties, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges on its unproved oil and natural gas properties of $0.1 million and $24.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $16.4 million related to acreage expiring in future periods because there were no current plans to drill or extend the leases prior to their expiration. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not record similar impairment charges based on its ability to actively manage and prioritize its capital expenditures to drill leases and to make payments to extend leases that would have otherwise expired. No impairment charges on proved oil and gas properties were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. Divestiture. On March 5, 2014, the Company completed the sale of certain non-operated properties in and around its Sanish position for cash proceeds of $324.9 million, which included customary post close adjustments. The Company recognized a $187.0 million gain on sale of properties in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
