Commitments And Contingencies	NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Property Reclamation Deposit As a part of our acquisition of certain oil producing properties from the Fund in December 2012, we acquired a property reclamation deposit and letters of credit related to future abandonment and remediation obligations. In an acquisition between ExxonMobil Corporation (the “Seller”) and the Fund in 2006, the Fund was required to deposit $10.7 million into an escrow account as security for abandonment and remediation obligations. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $10.7 million was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets related to the deposit.

The funds in the escrow account are not to be returned to us until the later of three years after satisfaction of all abandonment obligations or December 31, 2026. At certain dates subsequent to closing, we have the right to request a refund of a portion or all of the property reclamation deposit. Granting of the request is at the Seller’s sole discretion.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Property Reclamation Deposit

As a part of our acquisition of certain oil producing properties from the Fund in December 2012, we acquired a property reclamation deposit and letters of credit related to future abandonment and remediation obligations. In an acquisition between ExxonMobil Corporation (the “Seller”) and the Fund in 2006, the Fund was required to deposit $10.7 million into an escrow account as security for abandonment and remediation obligations. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $10.7 million was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets related to the deposit. We are required to maintain the escrow account in effect for three years after all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed. The funds in the escrow account are not to be returned to us until the later of three years after satisfaction of all abandonment obligations or December 31, 2026. At certain dates subsequent to closing, we have the right to request a refund of a portion or all of the property reclamation deposit. Granting of the request is at the Seller’s sole discretion. In addition to the cash deposit, the Fund was required to provide a $3.0 million letter of credit in favor of the Seller and an additional $3.0 million letter of credit each year through 2012 for a total of $23.4 million.
