RISK MANAGEMENT

NOTE 6. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s business activities expose it to risks associated with changes in the market price of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. In addition, the Company’s floating rate credit facility exposes it to risks associated with changes in interest rates. As such, future earnings are subject to fluctuation due to changes in the market prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and interest rates. The Company uses derivatives to reduce its risk of volatility in the prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The Company policies do not permit the use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company has elected not to designate any of its derivatives as hedging instruments. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded immediately to operations as “Gain (loss) on derivatives, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had entered into derivatives with the following terms:

The Company has entered into master netting arrangements with its counterparties. The amounts above are presented on a net basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets when such amounts are with the same counterparty.

These amounts are not included in the above table; however, under the master netting agreements, the Company has the right to offset these positions against forward exposure related to outstanding derivatives.
