Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Long-Term Debt | Note 5 - Long-Term Debt Credit Agreement On April 29, 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”). The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum loan amount of $2.5 billion. Also on April 29, 2020, as a result of the regular semi-annual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and aggregate lender commitments were both reduced to $1.1 billion due to a decrease in the value of proved reserves driven by decreased commodity pricing. The Third Amendment permits the Company to incur second lien debt of up to $900.0 million (“Permitted Lien Debt”) prior to the next scheduled redetermination date of October 1, 2020, provided that all principal amounts of such debt are used to redeem unsecured senior debt of the Company for less than or equal to par value. Additionally, the Third Amendment reduces the limit on the amount of dividends that the Company may declare and pay on an annual basis from $50.0 million to $12.0 million. The Third Amendment also amends certain other covenants of the Company in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 28, 2023, except that, pursuant to the Third Amendment, upon the Company’s incurrence of Permitted Lien Debt to redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Senior Notes”), the maturity date under the Credit Agreement will be July 2, 2023. Without regard to which maturity date is in effect, the maturity date could occur earlier on August 16, 2022, if the Company has not completed certain repurchase, redemption, or refinancing activities associated with its 2022 Senior Notes, and does not have certain unused availability for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, as outlined in the Credit Agreement and the Third Amendment. The Company must comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants under the terms of the Credit Agreement and was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2020, and through the filing of this report. Interest and commitment fees associated with the revolving credit facility are accrued based on a borrowing base utilization grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. The borrowing base utilization grid was amended by the Third Amendment as presented in the table below. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt in the 2019 Form 10-K for the utilization grid in effect prior to the Third Amendment. At the Company’s election, borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be in the form of Eurodollar, Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), or Swingline loans. Eurodollar loans accrue interest at LIBOR, plus the applicable margin from the utilization grid, and ABR and Swingline loans accrue interest at a market-based floating rate, plus the applicable margin from the utilization grid. Commitment fees are accrued on the unused portion of the aggregate lender commitment amount at rates from the utilization grid and are included in the interest expense line item on the accompanying statements of operations. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional detail on the terms of the Company’s Credit Agreement.

(1) | The Credit Agreement specifies that in the event that LIBOR is no longer a widely used benchmark rate, or that it is no longer used for determining interest rates for loans in the United States, a replacement interest rate that fairly reflects the cost to the lenders of funding loans shall be established by the Administrative Agent, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in consultation with the Company. Please refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion of FASB ASU 2020-04, which provides guidance related to reference rate reform.
