DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | 10. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, such as commodity price risk and interest rate risk. In accordance with the Company’s policy, it generally hedges a substantial, but varying, portion of anticipated oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production for future periods. Derivatives are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, with the changes in the fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations for the period in which the change occurs. The Company’s hedge policies and objectives may change significantly as its operational profile changes. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes. 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 December 31, 2019 (Successor), the Company did not post collateral under any of its derivative contracts as they are secured under the Company’s Senior Credit Agreement or are uncollateralized trades. The Company’s crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids derivative positions at any point in time may consist of fixed-price swaps, costless put/call collars, basis swaps and WTI NYMEX rolls. Fixed-price swaps are designed so that the Company receives or makes payments based on a differential between fixed and variable prices for crude oil and natural gas. 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. Basis swaps effectively lock in a price differential between regional prices (i.e. Midland) where the product is sold and the relevant pricing index under which the oil production is hedged (i.e. Cushing). WTI NYMEX roll agreements account for pricing adjustments to the trade month versus the delivery month for contract pricing. The Company has elected not to designate any of its derivative contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company records the net change in the mark-to-market valuation of these derivative contracts, as well as all payments and receipts on settled derivative contracts, in “Net gain (loss) on derivative contracts” on the consolidated statements of operations. All derivative contracts are recorded at fair market value in accordance with ASC 815 and ASC 820 and included in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities. The following table summarizes the location and fair value amounts of all derivative contracts in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 (Successor) and 2018 (Predecessor) (in thousands):

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. The filing of the voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code described in Note 2, "Reorganization," constituted an event of default under the Company's derivatives contracts that gave the counterparties the option to terminate such contracts. Certain parties elected to terminate their contracts in August 2019 (Predecessor) and the Company received approximately $0.1 million to settle a portion of the outstanding positions while other positions were novated for fees totaling $0.5 million. The remaining derivative contracts, including the novated positions, were secured on a super-priority pari passu basis with the Company's Predecessor Credit Agreement during the bankruptcy process and remain in place following the Company's chapter 11 bankruptcy.
