Granite Wash Asset Sale

On September 19, 2014, we closed on the sale of our Granite Wash assets, located primarily in Texas, for approximately $588 million, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. The sale of our Granite Wash assets did not significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, and as such, all proceeds were recorded as adjustments to our domestic full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized. These consolidated financial statements include the results of our Granite Wash operations through the date of sale.
