Impairment

The net book value of all capitalized oil and natural gas properties within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, is subject to a full cost ceiling limitation which is calculated quarterly. Under the ceiling limitation, costs may not exceed an aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10 percent using current prices, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the amortization base, plus the cost of unevaluated properties, less any associated tax effects. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred tax benefits, over the ceiling is written off as expense. Impairment expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company evaluated the future production of its leases through the termination of each lease. Through its analysis, the Company determined the present value of future production was less than the carrying value of the leases on the balance sheet. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $35,432 during the years ended December 31, 2016. The Company performed an additional analysis during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and determined its proved and unproved properties were fully impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $11,250 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
