Property Reclamation Deposit

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $10.7 million is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets related a property reclamation deposit with ExxonMobil Corporation (the “Seller”). We are required to maintain the escrow account in effect for three years after all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed.

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, a letter of credit of $23.4 million is required in favor of the Seller.

NPI Obligation

As a part of our acquisition of certain oil producing properties from the Fund in December 2012, we assumed a net profit interest (“NPI”) related to the Jay field. Under the arrangement, the NPI is payable after: (i) funds are withheld, to the extent allowable each month under the arrangement, to pay for the NPI holder’s share of future development costs and abandonment obligations, and (ii) we are reimbursed for the NPI holder’s share of excess historical productions costs. Once the NPI holder’s share of the excess historical costs is reimbursed, the NPI will be payable monthly to extent the NPI for that month exceeds amount withheld for that month for future development costs and abandonment obligations. The NPI holder’s share of excess historical production costs amounted to $1.3 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 3014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, we will retain the NPI holder’s shares of future development costs and abandonment obligations, subject to future production, production costs, and capital spending level, which will be paid using the funds withheld.
