Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

Proved oil and gas reserve estimates as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. independent petroleum engineers.  Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC, which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions based upon the 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month prices.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Revisions represent changes in previous reserves estimates, either upward or downward, resulting from new information normally obtained from development drilling and production history or resulting from a change in economic factors, such as commodity prices, operating costs, or development costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s negative revisions of previous estimates of 1,590 MBOE resulted primarily from reducing the existing PUD locations by 269 wells due to a change in development timing and lower commodity prices.  The purchase of reserves in place of 72 MBOE were due to multiple acquisitions located within the Eagle Ford Shale.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s negative revisions of previous estimates of 3,373 MBOE resulted primarily from reducing the existing PUD locations by 314 wells due to a change in development timing and lower commodity prices.  The purchase of reserves in place of 56 MBOE were due to multiple acquisitions located within the Eagle Ford Shale.  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s positive revisions of previous estimates of 1,759 MBOE resulted primarily from the drilling of 92 new wells and from 225 new proved undeveloped locations added. The purchase of reserves in place of 50 MBOE were due to multiple acquisitions primarily located in Karnes county within the Eagle Ford Shale.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Cash Flows

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows are based on the unweighted average, first-day-of-the-month price. The projections should not be viewed as realistic estimates of future cash flows, nor should the “standardized measure” be interpreted as representing current value to the Company. Material revisions to estimates of proved reserves may occur in the future; development and production of the reserves may not occur in the periods assumed; actual prices realized are expected to vary significantly from those used; and actual costs may vary.

The following table sets forth the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows attributable to the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:
