Favorable drilling contracts and management services contracts
On emergence from Chapter 11, we recognized favorable drilling and management service contracts at fair value, which will be amortized over their remaining contract period. The amounts recognized represent the net present value of the existing contracts at the time of emergence compared to the current market rates at that time, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital.
The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization included in 'Other current assets' and 'Other non-current assets' for favorable contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:
 
 
As at December 31, 2019
