Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES We estimate our annual effective income tax rate to record our quarterly provision in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. We maintained a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets after considering cumulative losses, including oil and natural gas asset impairments. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not provide any current or deferred tax provision or benefit. The difference between our statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate of zero for the periods presented includes changes to maintain our full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets given our recent and anticipated future earnings trends. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that some or all of this allowance could be released in the foreseeable future. However, the amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable depends on the level of profitability that we can achieve. The CARES Act increased the limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income in 2019 and 2020 along with other provisions intended to provide relief to corporate taxpayers. There was no impact on our income tax provision due to our full valuation allowance.
