Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial or commodity hedging institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any remaining open derivative contracts.

The Company has in the past and may utilize in the future fixed-price swaps or costless put/call collars to hedge a portion of its anticipated future production. Fixed-price swaps are designed so that the Company receives or makes payments based on a differential between fixed and variable prices for the volumes under contract. A costless collar consists of a sold call, which establishes a maximum price the Company will receive for the volumes under contract, and a purchased put that establishes a minimum price. The Company has elected not to designate its open derivative contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company records the net change in the mark-to-market valuation of the derivative contracts and all payments and receipts on settled derivative contracts in “Net loss on derivative contracts” on the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The Company’s derivative contract is recorded at fair market value and is included in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets as an asset or a liability. The Company did not have any open positions as of March 31, 2021 or 2020.

The Company presents the fair value of its derivative contracts at the gross amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into an International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement ("ISDA") with each counterparty prior to a derivative contract with such counterparty. The ISDA is a standard contract that governs all derivative contracts entered into between the Company and the respective counterparty. The ISDA allows for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency.
