____________________________________________
(a)
In 2018, we repurchased previously conveyed ORRI from the CHK Utica, L.L.C. investors and extinguished our obligation to convey future ORRIs to the CHK Utica, L.L.C. investors for combined consideration of $199 million. The total CHK Utica ORRI conveyance obligation extinguished in 2018 was $183 million, of which, $30 million was recorded in current liabilities and $153 million was recorded in long-term liabilities. The fair value of the consideration allocated to the extinguishment of liability, $122 million, was less than the carrying amount of the conveyance obligation and resulted in a gain of $61 million recognized in other income on our consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the consideration allocated to the purchase of ORRIs on proved producing properties was $77 million and recorded in proved oil and natural gas properties in our consolidated balance sheet.
