Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP. Preparation in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to (i) adopt accounting policies within accounting rules set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and by the SEC and (ii) make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s management believes the major estimates and assumptions impacting the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are the following:
estimates of proved reserves of oil and natural gas, which affect the calculations of depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) and impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties;
impairment of undeveloped properties and other assets;
depreciation of property and equipment; and
valuation of commodity derivative instruments.
Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions of future events and these revisions could be material. Future production may vary materially from estimated oil and natural gas proved reserves. Actual future prices may vary significantly from price assumptions used for determining proved reserves and for financial reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as well as the timing of its adoption of this guidance.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Generally, the guidance is to be applied as of any date from the
beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the options provided by ASU 2020-04. Please refer to Note 8—Debt—Revolving Credit Agreement for discussion of the use of LIBOR in connection with borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). In May 2019, ASU 2016-13 was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2019-04”) and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2016-13, as amended, affects trade receivables, financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. This ASU replaced the currently required incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 is being applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company does not have a history of material credit losses.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments (“ASU 2020-03”). This ASU improves and clarifies various financial instrument topics, including ASU 2019-04, as discussed above. ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments. ASU 2020-03 is intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amendments in this ASU have different effective dates. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is measured based on considerations specified in contracts with its customers, excluding any sales incentives or amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control over a product to the ultimate customer. Sales of oil, natural gas and NGLs are recognized at the time that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, the pricing provisions in the Company’s contracts are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, the quality of the oil or natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. As a result, the prices of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and NGLs fluctuate to remain competitive with other available oil, natural gas, and NGLs supplies. The Company reports revenues disaggregated by product on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Oil Sales
Under the Company’s oil sales contracts, the Company sells oil production at or near the wellhead and the Company collects an agreed-upon index price, net of pricing differentials. The Company recognizes revenue at the net price received when control transfers to the purchaser at or near the wellhead.
Natural Gas and NGLs Sales
Under the Company’s natural gas processing contracts, the Company delivers natural gas to a midstream processing company at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing company’s system. The midstream processing company gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to the Company for the resulting natural gas and NGLs sales. In these scenarios, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal or the agent in the transaction, which includes considerations of product redelivery, take-in-kind rights and risk of loss. For those contracts where the Company has concluded that control of the product transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Company is the principal and the ultimate third party is its customer, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, with transportation and processing fees presented as Transportation and processing
costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Alternatively, for those contracts where the Company has concluded control of the product transfers at the inlet of the plant, meaning that the Company is the agent and the midstream processing company is the Company’s customer, the Company recognizes natural gas and NGLs sales based on the net amount of proceeds received from the midstream processing company. The Company has also determined that losses associated with shrinkage and line loss (“FL&U”) occur prior to the change in control. As a result, natural gas and NGLs sales are presented net of FL&U costs. Revenues associated with natural gas and NGLs sales at the plant inlet are considered a single combined performance obligation. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the applicable line items in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations include $0.8 million and $2.9 million of natural gas sales and $6.1 million and $7.2 million of NGLs sales, respectively, completed at the plant inlet.
Contract Balances
Under the Company’s product sales contracts, the Company invoices customers once performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.
Prior-Period Performance Obligations
The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. Settlement statements for certain natural gas and NGLs sales, however, may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result the Company is required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. In these situations, the Company records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. The Company has existing internal controls for its revenue estimation process and related accruals, and any identified differences between the Company’s revenue estimates and actual revenue received have historically been insignificant. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue recognized in the applicable reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.
