Depletion of crude oil and natural gas properties and evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties, in part, is determined using estimates of proved, probable and possible crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and future undiscounted and discounted net cash flows. Other items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> limited to, the carrying value of crude oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations, equity-based compensation, fair value of derivatives and estimates of income taxes.

As of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> December 31, 2020, </em>the Company had receivables related to contracts with purchasers of approximately $19.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively. </p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><i>Crude Oil Contracts. </i>The Company’s crude oil marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the crude oil has been transferred to the purchaser. The crude oil produced is sold under contracts using market-based pricing which is then adjusted for the differentials based upon delivery location and crude oil quality. Since the differentials are incurred after the transfer of control of the crude oil, the differentials are included in crude oil sales on the consolidated and combined statements of operations as they represent part of the transaction price of the contract.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><i>Natural Gas Contracts. </i>The majority of the Company’s natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been transferred to the purchaser. The natural gas is sold under (i) percentage of proceeds processing contracts or (ii) a hybrid of percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts. Under the majority of the Company’s contracts, the purchaser gathers the natural gas in the field where it is produced and transports it to natural gas processing plants where NGL products are extracted. The NGL products and remaining residue natural gas are then sold by the purchaser. Under percentage of proceeds and hybrid percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts, the Company receives a percentage of the value for the extracted liquids and the residue natural gas. Since control of the natural gas transfers upstream of the transportation and processing activities, revenue is recognized as the net amount received from the purchaser.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The Company does <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical exemption in accordance with ASC <em style="font: inherit;">606.</em> The exemption, as described in ASC <em style="font: inherit;">606</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">10</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">50</em>-<em style="font: inherit;">14</em>(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer.

Depletion of crude oil and natural gas properties and evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties, in part, is determined using estimates of proved, probable and possible crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and future undiscounted and discounted net cash flows. Other items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> limited to, the carrying value of crude oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations, equity-based compensation, fair value of derivatives and estimates of income taxes.

The Company’s share of crude oil, NGL and natural gas production is sold to various purchasers who must be prequalified under the Company’s credit risk policies and procedures. The Company’s credit risk related to collecting accounts receivables is mitigated by using credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the credit standing of the entity obligated to make payment on the accounts receivable, and where appropriate, the Company obtains assurances of payment, such as a guarantee by the parent company of the counterparty or other credit support. The Company routinely reviews outstanding balances and establishes allowances for bad debts equal to the estimable portions of accounts receivable for which failure to collect is considered probable.

Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract.

Under the majority of the Company’s contracts, the purchaser gathers the natural gas in the field where it is produced and transports it to natural gas processing plants where NGL products are extracted. The NGL products and remaining residue natural gas are then sold by the purchaser. Under percentage of proceeds and hybrid percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts, the Company receives a percentage of the value for the extracted liquids and the residue natural gas.

In <em style="font: inherit;"> December 2020, </em>the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Fifth Third as the administrative agent and sole lender to establish a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on <em style="font: inherit;"> June 17, 2024. </em>The Revolving Credit Facility had an initial borrowing base of $40.0 million. However, the Company elected to reduce the aggregate elected commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $20.0 million. In <em style="font: inherit;"> June 2021, </em>the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement to among other things, (i) complete the semi-annual borrowing base redetermination process which increased the borrowing base from $40.0 million to $125.0 million and (ii) modify the terms of the Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate elected commitments from $20.0 million to $125.0 million. A syndicate of banks joined the credit facility at differing levels of commitments with Fifth Third remaining the administrative agent. In <em style="font: inherit;"> October 2021, </em>the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to among other things, (i) complete a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination process, which increased the borrowing base from $125.0 million to $195.0 million and (ii) modified the terms of the Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate elected commitments from $125.0 million to $195.0 million. The syndicate of banks in the credit facility remained the same, although commitment percentages changed slightly with Fifth Third remaining the administrative agent.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">The borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to the lowest of (i) the borrowing base (which stands at $125.0 million as of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021, </em>increased to $195.0 million on <em style="font: inherit;"> October 1, 2021), (</em>ii) the aggregate elected commitments (which stand at $125.0 million as of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021, </em>increased to $195.0 million on <em style="font: inherit;"> October 1, 2021) </em>and (iii) $500.0 million.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on (a) a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate announced from time to time by Fifth Third, (ii) the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System during the last preceding business day plus 0.5 percent or (iii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, plus a margin (the “Applicable Margin”), which is 4.00 percent as of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021, </em>dropping to 3.5 percent on <em style="font: inherit;"> October 1, 2021 </em>and which is determined by the Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a per annum fee, representing the Applicable Margin plus 0.125 percent. The Company also pays commitment fees on undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility equal to 0.50 percent. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a <em style="font: inherit;">first</em> lien security interest on substantially all assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including mortgages on the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ crude oil and natural gas properties.  The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to have the borrowing base redetermined semiannually in <em style="font: inherit;"> April </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> October. </em>Additionally, the Company and Fifth Third each have the option for a wild card evaluation between redeterminations.   </p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The Credit Agreement specifies that if LIBOR is <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> longer a widely used benchmark rate, or if it is <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> longer used for determining interest rates for loans in the United States, a replacement interest rate that fairly reflects the cost to the lenders of funding loans shall be established by the Administrative Agent, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in consultation with the Company.  See Note <em style="font: inherit;">2</em> for reference rate reform. </p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The Revolving Credit Facility requires the maintenance of a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX, subject to certain adjustments, <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> to exceed 3.00 to <em style="font: inherit;">1.00</em> as of the last day of any fiscal quarter and a current ratio, subject to certain adjustments, of at least 1.00 to <em style="font: inherit;">1.00</em> as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The Company has limited equity cure rights for a breach of the above-listed financial covenants. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility contains additional restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens, make investments and loans, enter into mergers and acquisitions, make or declare dividends and other payments, enter into certain hedging transactions, sell assets and engage in transactions with affiliates. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments, including a monthly mandatory prepayment if the Consolidated Cash Balance (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) is in excess of $20.0 million. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default, including a change in control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent or the majority of the lenders <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>accelerate any amounts outstanding and terminate lender commitments.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="finTable" style="margin-right: 5%;

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve rate for the expected term of the option at the date of grant and the volatility was based on the volatility of a peer group of companies with similar characteristics of the Company on the date of grant since the Company did <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> have any trading history.

The Predecessors are required to file tax returns on Form <em style="font: inherit;">1065</em> with the IRS.

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on the potential liability related to an assessment of whether the income tax position will “more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not”</em> be sustained in an income tax audit. Based on that analysis, the Company believes the Company has <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> taken any material uncertain tax positions, and therefore has <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> recorded an income tax liability related to uncertain tax positions. However, if actual results materially differ, the Company’s effective income tax rate and cash flows could be affected in the period of discovery or resolution. The Company also reviews the estimates and assumptions used in evaluating the probability of realizing the future benefits of the Company’s deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance when the Company believes that a portion or all the deferred tax assets <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em><em style="font: inherit;">not</em> be realized. If the Company is unable to realize the expected future benefits of its deferred tax assets, the Company is required to provide a valuation allowance. The Company uses its history and experience, overall profitability, future management plans, tax planning strategies, and current economic information to evaluate the amount of valuation allowance to record. As of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> December 31, 2020, </em>the Company has <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c78444406"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden:c78444407">not</span></span> recorded a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets arising from its operations because the Company believes they meet the “more likely than <em style="font: inherit;">not”</em> criteria as defined by the recognition and measurement provisions of ASC <em style="font: inherit;">740.</em> However, the Company <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em><em style="font: inherit;">not</em> realize the $7.8 million and $12.9 million in deferred tax assets it has as of <em style="font: inherit;"> September 30, 2021 </em>and <em style="font: inherit;"> December 31, 2020, </em>respectively, if the estimates and assumptions used in evaluating the probability of realizing the future benefits of the Company's deferred tax assets change, which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate and cash flows in the period of discovery or resolution.</p> <p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;"> </p> <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">The Company is also subject to Texas Margin Tax.

Vested stock options represent participating securities because they participate in dividend equivalents with the common equity holders of the Company. Participating earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested stock options do not represent participating securities because, while they participate in dividend equivalents with the common equity holders of the Company, the dividend equivalents associated with unvested stock options are forfeitable in connection with the forfeitability of the underlying stock options. Debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2021 consisted of $2.2 million in costs less accumulated amortization of $263,000. Debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2020 of $401,000, net of accumulated amortization of $4,000, were classified in other noncurrent assets on the accompanying balance sheet due to the fact that the Company had no outstanding debt at that time. The revisions to the Company’s asset retirement obligation estimates are primarily due to changes in estimated costs based on experience with the properties and their expected useful lives.
