Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives Derivatives
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to certain risks including changes in the prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs which may impact the cash flows associated with the sale of our future oil and natural gas production. We enter into derivative contracts with lenders under our revolving credit facilities that consist of either a single derivative instrument or a combination of instruments to manage our exposure to these risks.

As of December 31, 2021, our commodity derivative instruments consisted of fixed price swaps and collars which are described below:

Fixed Price and Basis Swaps: Fixed price swaps receive a fixed price and pay a floating market price to counterparty on the notional amount. Our basis swaps fix the basis differentials between the index price at which we sell our production as compared to the index price used in the basis swap. Under a swap contract, we will receive payment if the settlement price is less than the fixed price and would be required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price is greater than the fixed price.

Collars: Collars provide a minimum and maximum price on a notional amount of sales volume. Under a collar, we will receive payment if the settlement price is less than the minimum price of the range and make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price is greater than the maximum price of the range. We would not be required to make a payment or receive payment if the settlement price falls within the range.

We have variable rate debt outstanding, which is subject to interest rate risk based on volatility in underlying interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of our pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps was an unrealized loss of $7.0 million. Our interest rate swaps matured in 2021.
We use derivative commodity instruments and enter into swap contracts which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements.
