Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices for our expected future crude oil and natural gas production and the associated impact on cash flows. Our commodity derivative contracts consist of swaps, collars, basis protection swaps, and puts. As of September 30, 2024, all derivative counterparties were members of the Credit Facility lender group, and all commodity derivative contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. We do not designate our commodity derivative contracts as hedging instruments. A typical swap arrangement guarantees a fixed price on contracted volumes. If the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the fixed contract price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference between the index price and the fixed contract price. If the index price is higher than the fixed contact price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference between the index price and the fixed contract price. A typical collar arrangement establishes a floor and ceiling price on contracted volumes through the use of a short call and a long put. When the index price is above the ceiling price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference between the index price and the ceiling price. When the index price is below the floor price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference between the index price and floor price. When the index price is between the floor price and ceiling price, no payment or receipt occurs. Basis protection swaps are arrangements that guarantee a price differential from a specified delivery point. For basis protection swaps, we receive a payment from the counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the contract and pay the counterparty if the price differential is less than the stated terms of the contract. A put arrangement gives us the right to sell the underlying commodity at a strike price over the term of the contract. If the index price is higher than the strike price, no payment or receipt occurs. If the index price is lower than the strike price, we receive the difference between the index price and the strike price.
