Acquisitions and Divestitures	4. Acquisitions and Divestitures During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into several purchase and sale agreements, as described below. Merge Acquisition On September 22, 2016, JEH acquired oil and gas properties located in the Merge area of the STACK/SCOOP (the “Merge”) play in Central Oklahoma (the “Merge Acquisition”) from SCOOP Energy Company, LLC for cash consideration of $134.4 million, net of the final working capital settlement of $2.4 million received in the first quarter of 2017. The oil and gas properties acquired in the Merge Acquisition, on a closed and funded basis, principally consist of 16,975 undeveloped net acres in Canadian, Grady and McClain Counties, Oklahoma. This transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company used proceeds from our equity offerings to fund the purchase. See Note 12, “Stockholders’ and Mezzanine equity”. Anadarko Acquisition On August 25, 2016, JEH acquired producing and undeveloped oil and gas assets in the Western Anadarko basin (the “Anadarko Acquisition”) for final consideration of $25.9 million. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The Company allocated $32.3 million to “Oil and gas properties,” with $3.0 million allocated to “Unproved” properties, $17.0 million allocated to “Proved” properties, and $12.3 million allocated to “Wells and equipment and related facilities”, based on the respective fair values of the assets acquired. Additionally, the Company allocated $6.4 million to our ARO liability associated with those proved properties. As of September 30, 2017, the measurement-period has closed. The Anadarko Acquisition did not result in a significant impact to revenues or net income and as such, pro forma financial information is not included. The Company funded the Anadarko Acquisition with cash on hand. The assets acquired in the Anadarko Acquisition included interests in 174 wells, 59% of which were operated by the company, and approximately 25,000 net acres in Lipscomb and Ochiltree Counties in the Texas Panhandle. As of the closing date, the acquired acreage was producing approximately 900 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Arkoma Divestiture On August 1, 2017, JEH closed its previously announced agreement to sell its Arkoma Basin properties (the “Arkoma Assets”) for a purchase price of $65.0 million, prior to customary effective date adjustments of $7.3 million, and subject to customary post-close adjustments (the “Arkoma Divestiture”). JEH may also receive up to $2.5 million in contingent payments based on natural gas prices. No amounts have been recorded related to this contingent payment as of September 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Arkoma Assets and related liabilities (the “Held for sale assets”) were classified as held for sale due to the pending Arkoma Divestiture. Upon the classification change occurring on June 30, 2017, the Company ceased recording depletion on the Held for sale assets. Based on the Company’s sales price, the Company recognized an estimated impairment charge of $148.0 million at June 30, 2017 which has been included in Impairment of oil and gas properties on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
