The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 702 square feet of office space shared with and paid by our majority shareholder. In June 2024, the Company agreed to re-extend its lease at a flat (unescalated) rate for another 36 months. The amended lease now expires on July 31, 2027.

The Company determines an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was 9%. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
