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 December 31, 2019 (Successor), the Company had in place three long-term crude oil contracts and 14 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 On February 26, 2019 (Predecessor), a subsidiary of the Company was ordered to pay $9,107,054 in a judgment entered by The Court of Common Pleas of Mercer County, Pennsylvania in a litigation matter captioned Vodenichar, et al., v. Halcón Energy Properties, Inc. et al., No. 2013‑0512, arising from a dispute over whether the subsidiary complied with the terms of a letter of intent related to the leasing of acreage. The Court of Common Pleas of Mercer County, Pennsylvania marked the judgment as satisfied on February 3, 2020 (Successor) and the Company considers this contingency resolved. In addition to the matter described above, 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 our business.
