Net property and equipment as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, consists of the following:

Oil and gas properties:      
Proved oil and gas properties $215,620  $114,893 
Unproved properties not subject to depletion  3,616   1,947 
Accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment  (87,527)  (80,715)
Net oil and gas properties  131,709   36,125 
         
Furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and software, and other equipment  3,783   1,758 
Accumulated depreciation and amortization  (1,794)  (1,021)
Net other property and equipment  1,989   737 
         
Total net property and equipment $133,698  $36,862 

  

We had approximately $3.6 million and $1.9 million, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, of unproved oil and gas properties not subject to depletion. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our unproved properties consist principally of leasehold acquisition costs in the following areas:

 

(in thousands) September 30,

  December 31, 
2017
 
       
Ventura Basin $1,595  $- 
Illinois Basin:        
Indiana  432   432 
Illinois  142   136 
Appalachian Basin:        
Kentucky  952   915 
Ohio  66   66 
West Virginia  429   398 
         
Total unproved properties not subject to depletion $3,616  $1,947 

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no expiring leasehold costs that were reclassified into proved property. The excluded properties are assessed for impairment at least annually. Subject to industry conditions, evaluations of most of these properties and the inclusion of their costs in amortized capital costs is expected to be completed within five years.

 

We capitalized overhead applicable to acquisition, development and exploration activities of approximately $106,000 and $306,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized overhead applicable to acquisition, development, and exploration activities of approximately $47,000 and $178,000, respectively.

 

Depletion expense related to oil and gas properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $2.4 million, or $1.01 per Mcfe, and $5.6 million, or $0.88 per Mcfe, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, depletion expense was approximately $521,000, or $0.38 per Mcfe, and $1.6 million, or $0.40 per Mcfe, respectively.
