The Company has continued to monitor the impact of the global outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus identified in late 2019 (“COVID-19”) and the partially related downward pressure on oil prices primarily driven by projected limitations on storage availability, forecasted reductions in global demand from various containment efforts and other geopolitical factors. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through cash from operations and working capital with its primary source of cash being the sale of oil and natural gas liquids production.
On April 6, 2020, we entered into NYMEX WTI oil swaps covering 1,400 barrels per day (or approximately 42,000 barrels per month) for the period of April 2020 through December 2020, at a fixed swap price of $32.00 per barrel. In the future, the Company may add additional swaps or other derivative positions covering a variable portion of its anticipated future production during subsequent periods.
The Company will continue to monitor oil prices in the near term and may look to add to its hedge portfolio should the opportunity present itself. Consistent with prior years, the Company does not plan to designate its new position as a hedge for accounting purposes and will record the contract on its balance sheet at fair value.
On May 5, 2020, considering the substantial decline in oil prices, combined with the uncertainty of timing of any price recovery as a result of the global pandemic, the Company adjusted the dividend rate to $0.025 per share quarterly, effective in the quarter ending June 30, 2020. The reduction in the dividend rate will allow the Company to conserve cash for additional financial flexibility while continuing to reward shareholders with a yield.
