Drilling Rig and Completion Service Contracts. The Company has drilling rig and completion service contracts in place to facilitate its drilling and completion plans. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s drilling rig commitments totaled $24.7 million under contract terms extending through the third quarter of 2023. If all of these contracts were terminated as of December 31, 2022, the Company would avoid a portion of the contractual service commitments; however, the Company would be required to pay $14.7 million in early termination fees. Excluded from these amounts are variable commitments and potential penalties determined by the number of completion crews the Company has in operation in a particular area under a completion service agreement. As of December 31, 2022, potential penalties under this completion service agreement, which expires on December 31, 2023, range from zero to a maximum of $3.4 million. No material expenses related to early termination or standby fees were incurred by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2022, and the Company does not expect to incur material penalties with regard to its drilling rig and completion service contracts during 2023. Pipeline Transportation Commitments. The Company has gathering, processing, transportation throughput, and delivery commitments with various third-parties that require delivery of a minimum amount of oil, gas, and produced water. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments to deliver a minimum of 18 MMBbl of oil through 2026, 26 Bcf of gas through the first half of 2023, and 11 MMBbl of produced water through 2027. The Company would be required to make periodic deficiency payments for any shortfalls in delivering the minimum volume commitments under certain agreements. As of December 31, 2022, if the Company failed to deliver any product, as applicable, the aggregate undiscounted deficiency payments would total approximately $45.7 million. This amount does not include deficiency payment estimates associated with approximately 5 MMBbl of future oil delivery commitments where the Company cannot predict with accuracy the amount and timing of these payments, as such payments are dependent upon the price of oil in effect at the time of settlement. The Company expects to fulfill the delivery commitments from a combination of production from existing productive wells, future development of proved undeveloped reserves, and future development of resources not yet characterized as proved reserves. Under certain of the Company’s commitments, if the Company is unable to deliver the minimum quantity from its production, it may deliver production acquired from third-parties to satisfy its minimum volume commitments. As of the filing of this report, the Company does not expect to incur material shortfalls with regard to these commitments. Office Leases. The Company leases office space under various operating leases totaling $36.8 million, including maintenance, with certain terms extending into 2033. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, was $3.5 million, $4.8 million, and $5.4 million, respectively. Electrical Power Purchase Contracts. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had fixed price contracts for the purchase of electrical power through 2027 with a total remaining obligation of $31.0 million. Sand Purchase Commitments. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a sand purchase agreement with a minimum purchase commitment of approximately $20.8 million through December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, if the Company failed to purchase the minimum amount required by the contract, it would be subject to penalties of up to $4.9 million. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had a sand sourcing agreement with potential penalties ranging from zero to a maximum of $10.0 million that vary based on the amount of sand the Company uses in well completions occurring in certain areas through March 31, 2024. As of the filing of this report, the Company does not expect to incur penalties with regard to these agreements. Compression Service Contracts. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had compression service contracts with terms extending through 2025 for equipment being used in field operations with a total remaining obligation of $13.2 million. Drilling and Completion Commitments. During 2022, the Company entered into an agreement that includes minimum drilling and completion footage requirements on certain existing leases. If these minimum requirements are not satisfied by March 31, 2024, the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages based on the difference between the actual footage drilled and completed and the minimum requirements. As of December 31, 2022, the liquidated damages could range from zero to a maximum of $60.3 million, with the maximum exposure assuming no additional development activity occurred prior to March 31, 2024. As of the filing of this report, the Company does not expect to incur material liquidated damages with regard to this agreement. Contingencies The Company is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the anticipated results of any pending litigation and claims are not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, the financial position, or the cash flows of the Company.
