Share-based Compensation Expense, net

Share-based compensation expense associated with RSUs, PSUs and Series B Units are reflected as general and administrative expense, net amounts capitalized to oil and gas properties, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Because of the non-cash nature of share-based compensation, the expensed portion of share-based compensation is added back to net income in arriving at net cash used in or provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, share-based compensation expense did not have any associated income tax benefit. The Company recognized the following share-based compensation expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
