Note 4. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):


		June 30, 2023			June 30, 2022
Oil and natural gas properties
Property costs subject to amortization		$	197,049		$	188,634
Less: Accumulated depletion, depreciation, and impairment			(91,268)			(78,126)
Oil and natural gas properties, net		$	105,781		$	110,508

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, all oil and natural gas property costs were subject to amortization. Depletion on oil and natural gas properties was $13.1 million and $7.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation on other properties and equipment was less than $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s other properties and equipment were fully depreciated as of June 30, 2022.

During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred development capital expenditures of $6.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. In addition, during the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a downward $0.9 million purchase adjustment related to its acquisition of the Barnett Shale properties. The Company received $0.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to effective date net revenues received from the previous owner of the properties.

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and natural gas properties. All costs of acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized as the cost of oil and natural gas and properties when incurred. To the extent capitalized costs of evaluated oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion, exceed the discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, net of deferred taxes, such excess capitalized costs would be charged to expense as a write-down of oil and natural gas properties.

At June 30, 2023, the ceiling test value of the Company’s reserves was calculated based on the first-day-of-the-month average for the 12-months ended June 30, 2023 of the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil spot price of $83.23 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas spot price of $4.78 per MMBtu, adjusted by market differentials by field. The net price per barrel of NGLs was $33.71, which was based on historical differentials to WTI as NGLs do not have any single comparable reference index price. Using these prices at June 30, 2023, the cost center ceiling was higher than the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, and as a result, no write-down was necessary.

At June 30, 2022, the ceiling test value of the Company’s reserves was calculated based on the first-day-of-the-month average for the 12-months ended June 30, 2022 of the WTI crude oil spot price of $85.82 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas spot price of $5.19 per MMBtu, adjusted by market differentials by field. The net price per barrel of NGLs was $44.24, which was based on historical differentials to WTI as NGLs do not have any single comparable reference index price. Using these prices at June 30, 2022, the cost center ceiling was higher than the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, and as a result, no write-down was necessary.
