COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments. We routinely enter into, extend, or amend operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. We have long-term transportation, sales, processing, and water delivery commitments. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 we entered into a transportation services agreement in the DJ Basin to deliver fixed and determinable quantities of crude oil. Under the terms of this agreement, we are required to make periodic deficiency payments for any shortfalls in delivering the minimum volume commitment of 25,000 Bbls per day over a term ending in April 2030. The aggregate financial commitment fee over the remaining term was $71 million as of June 30, 2025. We have not, and do not, expect to incur any deficiency payments. There were no other significant commitments entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2025. For details of our existing commitments, refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Litigation and Legal Items. We are involved in various legal proceedings. We review the status of these proceedings on an ongoing basis and, from time to time, may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that management believes are in our best interests. We have provided the necessary estimated accruals in the accompanying balance sheets where deemed appropriate for litigation and legal related items that are ongoing and not yet concluded. Other than any ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business and except as described below, we are not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

On May 2, 2025, Jeremy Lin (the “Plaintiff”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against us, our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Complaint”). The Complaint purports to bring a federal securities class action on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the Defendants who acquired our securities between February 27, 2024 and February 24, 2025 and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to our business, operations and prospects, including our anticipated production volumes and financial condition in 2025. The Plaintiff seeks, among other things, certification of a class, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by the Plaintiff in this matter. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom.
