COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments As of March 31, 2022, the Company has a minimum volume commitment with a third party for the purchase of chemicals to treat sour gas production through December 31, 2022. The future payments associated with the minimum volume commitment are approximately $4.9 million. ​ As of March 31, 2022, the Company has an active drilling rig commitment of approximately $2.6 million through the third quarter of 2022. Termination of the active drilling rig commitment would require an early termination penalty of $0.6 million, which would be in lieu of paying the active drilling rig commitment of $2.6 million. The Company has entered into various long-term gathering, transportation and sales contracts with respect to its oil and natural gas production from the Delaware Basin in West Texas. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had in place two long-term crude oil contracts and 12 long-term natural gas contracts in this area and the sales prices under these contracts are based on posted market rates. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company has committed a substantial portion of its production from this area for periods ranging from one to twenty years from the date of first production. Contingencies In addition to the matter described below, from time to time, the Company may be a plaintiff or defendant in a pending or threatened legal proceeding arising in the normal course of its business. While the outcome and impact of currently pending legal proceedings cannot be determined, the Company’s management and legal counsel believe that the resolution of these proceedings through settlement or adverse judgment will not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows. Surface owners of properties in Louisiana, where the Company formerly operated, often file lawsuits or assert claims against oil and gas companies claiming that operators and working interest owners are liable for environmental damages arising from operations conducted on the leased properties. These damages are frequently measured by the cost to restore the leased properties to their original condition. Currently and in the past, the Company has been party to such matters in Louisiana. With regard to pending matters, the overall exposure is not currently determinable. The Company intends to vigorously oppose these claims.
