Share-based Compensation Costs

Share-based compensation costs associated with RSUs, PSUs and other awards are reflected as “General and administrative expense,” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, net amounts capitalized to “Proved Properties,” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because of the non-cash nature of share-based compensation, the expensed portion of share-based compensation is added back to net income in arriving at “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table presents the amount of costs expensed and capitalized (in thousands):
