Property Sale

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Epsilon sold two wellbore-only Oklahoma assets for $12,498. This sale resulted in a loss of $1.45 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Epsilon sold one wellbore-only Oklahoma asset for $200,000.  This sale resulted in a gain of $0.22 million.

Property Impairment

We perform a quantitative impairment test whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset group's carrying amount may not be recoverable, over proved properties using the published NYMEX forward prices, timing, methods and other assumptions consistent with historical periods. When indicators of impairment are present, GAAP requires that the Company first compare expected future undiscounted cash flows by asset group to their respective carrying values. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a reduction of the carrying amount of the natural gas properties to their estimated fair values is required. Additionally, if an exploratory well is determined not to have found proved reserves, the costs incurred, net of any salvage value, should be charged to expense.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairment was recorded.
