LEASES

We lease certain office space, land and equipment, including pipeline equipment and office equipment. Our lease payments are generally straight-line and exercising lease renewal options, which vary in term, is at our sole discretion. We include renewal periods in our lease term if we are reasonably certain to exercise renewal options. Our lease agreements do not include options to purchase the leased property.

Related to our oil and natural gas segment, our short-term lease costs include those that are recognized in profit or loss during the period and those that are capitalized as part of the cost of another asset under GAAP. As the costs related to our drilling and production activities are reflected at our net ownership consistent with the principals of proportional consolidation, and lease commitments are generally considered gross as the operator, the costs may not reasonably reflect the company’s short-term lease commitments.
