Divestitures, Assets Held for Sale, and Acquisitions [Abstract] |
Divestitures, Assets Held for Sale, and Acquisitions | Note 3 - Divestitures, Assets Held for Sale, and Acquisitions Divestitures No material divestitures occurred during the first nine months of 2019, and there were no assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019. On March 26, 2018, the Company divested approximately 112,000 net acres of its Powder River Basin assets (the “PRB Divestiture”) for total cash received at closing, net of costs (referred to throughout this report as “net divestiture proceeds”), of $490.8 million, subject to final purchase price adjustments, and recorded an estimated net gain of $410.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. After final purchase price adjustments, the Company received net divestiture proceeds of $492.2 million, and recorded a final net gain of $410.6 million related to these divested assets for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company completed the divestitures of its remaining Williston Basin assets located in Divide County, North Dakota (the “Divide County Divestiture”) and its Halff East assets in the Midland Basin (the “Halff East Divestiture”), for combined net divestiture proceeds of $250.8 million, subject to final purchase price adjustments, and recorded a combined estimated net gain of $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. After final purchase price adjustments, the Company received net divestiture proceeds of $252.2 million, and recorded a final net gain of $15.4 million related to these divested assets for the year ended December 31, 2018. Acquisitions During the first nine months of 2019, the Company completed several non-monetary acreage trades of undeveloped properties located in Howard, Martin, and Midland Counties, Texas, resulting in the exchange of approximately 2,100 net acres, with $70.8 million of carrying value attributed to the properties transferred by the Company. These trades were recorded at carryover basis with no gain or loss recognized. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed two non-monetary acreage trades of primarily undeveloped properties located in Howard and Martin Counties, Texas, which resulted in the exchange of approximately 2,650 net acres, with $95.1 million of carrying value attributed to the properties transferred by the Company. These trades were recorded at carryover basis with no gain or loss recognized. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company acquired approximately 720 net acres of unproved properties in Martin County, Texas, for $24.6 million. Under authoritative accounting guidance, this transaction was considered an asset acquisition. Therefore, the properties were recorded based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred on the acquisition date and the transaction costs were capitalized as a component of the cost of the assets acquired.
