On March 1, 2018, the Company closed the sale of certain wells in its AWP Olmos field for proceeds, net of selling expenses, of $27.0 million. The buyer assumed approximately $6.3 million in asset retirement obligations. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale of this property.

Effective December 22, 2017, the Company closed a Purchase and Sale contract to sell the Company's wellbores and facilities in Bay De Chene and recorded a $16.3 million obligation related to the funding of certain plugging and abandonment costs as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Of the $16.3 million original obligation, $6.0 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Additionally, we reclassified $1.3 million in other long-term liabilities related to this sale to current liabilities. The remaining obligation under this contract is $10.2 million and is carried in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. This balance is made up of $6.4 million of current liability, which is included in “Accrued capital costs”, and $3.8 million which is included in “Other Long-Term Liabilities”.
