Commitments and Contingencies	(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation We are the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions, administrative proceedings or investigations arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, royalty claims, contract claims and environmental claims. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these actions, proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations. When deemed necessary, we establish reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve is based on an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, it is reasonably possible we could incur additional losses with respect to those matters in which reserves have been established. We will continue to evaluate our litigation on a quarterly basis and will establish and adjust any litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of litigation. We have incurred and will continue to incur capital, operating and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. As of June 30, 2024, liabilities for remediation were not material. We are not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2024 that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Transportation, Gathering and Processing Contracts In first quarter 2024, our transportation and gathering commitments over the next twelve years increased by approximately $580.0 million from December 31, 2023, primarily due to contract extensions and certain agreements that were contingent on facility construction as of the end of 2023 and are now in service. There were no significant changes to firm transportation, gathering and processing minimum commitments in the second quarter 2024. In addition to the above, during second quarter 2024 we entered into an amendment of an existing contract that will expand gathering, processing and transportation capacity by 300,000 Mmcf/day, contingent on the completion of construction and is expected to be in service in 2026. We have a related contingent minimum commitment associated with the de-ethanization capacity. Beginning on the in-service date this capacity will total 40,000 bbls/day, increasing by 5,000 bbls/day after one year of service, and continues through the end of the agreement.
