Construction Contracts | Construction Contracts Century Plant. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had substantially completed construction of a carbon dioxide (“CO 2”) treatment plant in Pecos County, Texas (the “Century Plant”), and associated compression and pipeline facilities pursuant to an agreement with Occidental Petroleum Corporation (“Occidental”). The Company constructed the Century Plant for a contract price of $796.3 million, which included agreed upon change orders and scope revisions, that Occidental paid to the Company through periodic cost reimbursements based upon the percentage of the project completed. Upon substantial completion of construction in late 2012, Occidental took ownership and began operating the Century Plant for the purpose of separating and removing CO 2 from the delivered natural gas stream. The Company recorded additions totaling $180.0 million to its oil and natural gas properties for costs incurred in excess of contract amounts during the construction period. Costs in excess of billings and contract loss of $4.0 million at September 30, 2013, representing costs incurred in the final stages of construction, are reported as a current asset in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Billings and contract loss in excess of costs incurred of $15.5 million at December 31, 2012 are reported as a current liability in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Pursuant to a 30-year treating agreement executed simultaneously with the construction agreement, Occidental will remove CO 2 from the Company’s delivered natural gas production volumes. Under this agreement, the Company is required to deliver certain minimum CO 2 volumes annually and is required to compensate Occidental to the extent such requirements are not met. See Note 11 for additional discussion of the treating agreement. The Company retains all methane gas from the natural gas it delivers to the Century Plant. Transmission Expansion Projects. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company substantially completed the construction of a series of electrical transmission expansion and upgrade projects in northern Oklahoma for a third party. The Company constructed these projects for a contract price of $23.3 million, which included agreed upon change orders. Upon substantial completion of the contract, the Company recognized construction contract revenue and costs equal to the revised contract price of $23.3 million, which are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. Costs in excess of billings on these projects of approximat ely $2.3 million, representing costs incurred in the final stages of construction, and $11.2 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are included in current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
