Divestitures

Water Infrastructure Assets

On December 20, 2018, the Company sold its water infrastructure assets located in the Delaware Basin (the Water Assets) to WaterBridge Resources LLC (the Purchaser) for a total adjusted purchase price of $211.0 million in cash (the Water Infrastructure Divestiture). The effective date of the transaction was October 1, 2018. Additional incentive payments of up to $25.0 million per year for the years from 2019 to 2023 were available based on the Company’s ability to meet certain annual incentive thresholds relating to the number of wells connected to the Water Assets per year. In August 2019, the Company and the Purchaser agreed to terminate the incentive payments provision.

Upon closing, the Company dedicated all of the produced water from its oil and natural gas wells within its Monument Draw, Hackberry Draw and West Quito Draw operating areas to the Purchaser. There are no drilling or throughput commitments associated with the Water Infrastructure Divestiture. The Purchaser will receive a current market price, subject to annual adjustments for inflation, in exchange for the transportation, disposal and treatment of such produced water, and the Purchaser will receive a market price for the supply of freshwater and recycled produced water to the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $119.0 million on the sale of the Water Assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in “(Gain) loss on sale of Water Assets.” The gain on the sale was reduced during the six months ended June 30, 2019 by approximately $3.8 million as a result of customary post-closing adjustments.
