Midstream assets acquisition. On April 25, 2017, the Company completed purchase and sale agreements with two undisclosed private sellers to acquire certain midstream assets in McKenzie County, North Dakota for total consideration of $12.7 million, which includes $4.9 million of installment notes payable. Based on the FASB’s authoritative guidance, the acquisition qualified as a business combination, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of the assets acquired as of the acquisition date. The Company recorded the assets acquired at their estimated fair value of $12.7 million, which the Company considers to be representative of the price paid by a typical market participant. This measurement resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase being recognized.

The results of operations for the acquisition have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the closing date. Pro forma information is not presented as the pro forma results would not be materially different from the information presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
