2017 Divestitures

2017 Property Divestitures. In 2017, the Company divested various non-core oil and natural gas properties for

Predecessor Acquisitions and Divestitures

2016 Divestiture

Divestiture of West Texas Overthrust Properties and Release from Treating Agreement. In January 2016, the Company paid $11.0 million in cash and transferred ownership of substantially all of its oil and natural gas properties and midstream assets located in the Piñon field in the West Texas Overthrust (“WTO”) to Occidental Petroleum Corporation (“Occidental”) and was released from all past, current and future claims and obligations under an existing 30 year treating agreement between the companies. As of the date of the transaction, the Company had accrued approximately $111.9 million for penalties associated with shortfalls in meeting its delivery requirements under the agreement since it became effective in late 2012. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $89.1 million on the termination of the treating agreement and the cease-use of transportation agreements that supported production from the Piñon field and reduced its asset retirement obligations associated with its oil and natural gas properties by $34.1 million.

2015 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Piñon Gathering Company, LLC. In October 2015, the Company acquired all of the assets of and terminated a gathering agreement with PGC for $48.0 million in cash and $78.0 million principal amount of newly issued PGC Senior Secured Notes. PGC owned approximately 370 miles of gathering lines supporting the natural gas production from the Company's Piñon field in the WTO. The transaction resulted in the termination of the Company’s gas gathering agreement with PGC under which it was required to compensate PGC for any throughput shortfalls below a required minimum volume. The fair value of the consideration paid by the Company, including discount attributable to the PGC Senior Secured Notes, was approximately $98.3 million and was allocated on a fair value basis between the assets acquired (approximately $47.3 million) and a loss on the termination of the gathering contract (approximately $51.0 million).

Acquisition of North Park Basin Properties. In December 2015, the Company acquired approximately 135,000 net acres in the North Park Basin in Jackson County, Colorado. The Company paid approximately $191.1 million in cash, including post-closing adjustments, and received $3.1 million from the seller for overriding royalty interests. Also included in the acquisition were working interests in 16 wells previously drilled on the acreage.
