Commodity Price Risk Activities
Commodity Price Risk Activities
Lonestar enters into certain commodity derivative instruments to mitigate commodity price risk associated with a portion of its future oil, NGL and natural gas production and related cash flows. The oil, NGL and natural gas revenues and cash flows are affected by changes in commodity product prices, which are volatile and cannot be accurately predicted. The objective for entering into these commodity derivatives is to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of the future oil, NGL and natural gas sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices, which helps ensure the Company’s ability to fund the capital budget.
Inherent in Lonestar's fixed price contracts are certain business risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of oil and natural gas will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from non-performance by the Company’s counterparty to a contract. The Company does not currently require cash collateral from any of its counterparties nor does its counterparties require cash collateral from the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no open physical delivery obligations.
