Disclosure on Derivative Instruments
The Company has entered, or may enter in the future, into commodity derivative instruments utilizing, price swaps, collars, put or call options to reduce the effect of
price changes on a portion of future oil and gas production. The Company’s commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are included in the
condensed balance sheet as derivative assets and liabilities.
All derivative positions are carried at their fair value on the condensed balance sheet and are marked-to-market at the end of each period. Both the unrealized and
realized gains and losses resulting from the contract settlement of derivatives are recorded in the gain on derivatives line on the condensed statement of operations.
The Company has a master netting agreement on each of the individual oil and gas contracts and therefore the current asset and liability are netted on the
condensed balance sheet and the non-current asset and liability are netted on the condensed balance sheet.
