Other Operating Expense
In the Current Period, we terminated certain gathering, processing and transportation contracts and recognized a non-recurring $80 million expense related to the contract terminations. The contract terminations removed approximately $169 million of future commitments related to gathering, processing and transportation agreements. See Note 5 for further discussion of contingencies and commitments.
In the Prior Period, we recorded approximately $34 million of costs related to our acquisition of WildHorse which consisted of consulting fees, financial advisory fees, legal fees and travel and lodging expenses. In addition, we recorded approximately $38 million of severance expense as a result of the acquisition of WildHorse. A majority of the WildHorse executives and employees were terminated. These executives and employees were entitled to severance benefits in accordance with existing employment agreements.
