Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal and Regulatory Matters Barnwell is routinely involved in disputes with third parties that occasionally require litigation. In addition, Barnwell is required to maintain compliance with all current governmental controls and regulations in the ordinary course of business. Barnwell’s management is not aware of any claims or litigation involving Barnwell that are likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In the quarter ended December 31, 2021, it was determined that a contract drilling segment well completed in the period did not meet the contract specifications for plumbness under a gyroscopic plumbness test which the contract required. While the well did pass the cage plumbness test, the contract uses the gyroscopic test as the measure of plumbness. Barnwell and the customer currently have an arrangement where Barnwell will provide for centralizers, armored cabling and a pump installation and removal test to confirm that plumbness is satisfactory. Barnwell’s management believes the plumbness deviation is not impactful to the performance of the submersible pumps that will be installed in the well. Accordingly, while costs for the centralizers, armored cabling and the pump installation and removal test have been accrued, no accrual has been recorded as of June 30, 2022 for any further costs as there is no related probable or estimable contingent liability. Subscription Receipts Agreement In May 2022, Barnwell Investments LLC, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Barnwell Industries Inc., entered into an agreement to participate in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) of subscriptions receipts (the “Subscription Agreement”) with 1287398 B.C. Ltd. (the “Issuer”) and agreed to purchase 1,724,138 subscription receipts at a price of $1.16 per subscription receipt for a total of $2,000,000 from the Issuer. 1287398 B.C. Ltd. is a Canadian reporting issuer. The Offering is subject to regulatory approvals, including the conditional listing approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Subscription Agreement is currently held in escrow by the Issuer until certain escrow release conditions are met which includes the Issuer raising an additional $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from other parties under the private placement offering for total minimum gross proceeds of $5,000,000. As of the date of this report, the escrow release condition has not been satisfied and no cash has been paid by the Company to the Issuer.
