Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments Summary of Oil, Gas, and NGL Derivative Contracts in Place The Company has entered into various commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of its exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices and the associated impact on cash flows. All contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. The Company’s derivative contracts include swap and collar arrangements for oil, gas, and NGLs. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had commodity derivative contracts outstanding through the second quarter of 2020 for a total of 9.7 million Bbls of oil production, 167.0 million MMBtu of gas production, and 9.5 million Bbls of NGL production. In a typical commodity swap agreement, if the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the swap fixed price, the Company receives the difference between the index price and the agreed upon swap fixed price. If the index price is higher than the swap fixed price, the Company pays the difference. For collar agreements, the Company receives the difference between an index price and the floor price if the index price is below the floor price. The Company pays the difference between the ceiling price and the index price if the index price is above the ceiling price. No amounts are paid or received if the index price is between the floor and ceiling prices.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities Fair Value The Company’s commodity derivatives are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying balance sheets as derivative assets and liabilities. The fair value of the commodity derivative contracts was a net asset of $391.4 million as of June 30, 2015, and net asset of $592.1 million as of December 31, 2014. The following tables detail the fair value of derivatives recorded in the accompanying balance sheets, by category:

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, all derivative instruments held by the Company were subject to master netting arrangements by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that settle on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation between the gross assets and liabilities reflected on the accompanying balance sheets and the potential effects of master netting arrangements on the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts:
