Denbury Inc. (“Denbury,” “Company” or the “Successor”), a Delaware corporation, is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions.regions of the United States. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, use, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.The utilization of captured industrial-sourced CO2 in EOR significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the oil that Denbury produces, making the Company’s scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions negative today, with a goal to also fully offset scope 3 CO2 emissions within this decade, primarily through increasing the amount of captured industrial-sourced CO2 used in its operations.

(the “Predecessor”) and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the prepackaged joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and approving the Disclosure Statement, and on September 18, 2020 (the “Emergence Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 as the successor reporting company of Denbury Resources Inc. On April 23, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree closing the Chapter 11 case captioned “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”; therefore, we have no remaining obligations related to this reorganization.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we met the criteria and were required to adopt fresh start accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”) Topic 852, Reorganizations. Fresh start accounting requires that new fair values be established for the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity as of the Emergence Date, and therefore certain values and operational results of the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020. The Emergence Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheets of the Predecessor contained in periodic reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020.
Reorganization Items, Net
Reorganization items, net, include (i) expenses incurred during the Chapter 11 Restructuring subsequent to the Petition Date as a direct result of the Plan, (ii) gains or losses from liabilities settled and (iii) fresh start accounting adjustments and are recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Professional service provider charges associated with our restructuring that were incurred before the Petition Date and after the Emergence Date are recorded in “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (the “Form 10-K”). Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end, and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2021 (Successor);2022, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our consolidated statementcash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (Successor), for the period September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020 (Successor), for the period July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor)2022 and January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor); and our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (Successor), for the period September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020 (Successor) and for the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor). Upon the adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh start reporting date. As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, certain values and operational results of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in its condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020.2021.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average common shares exclude shares of nonvested restricted stock (although nonvested restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share. Restricted stock units and performance stock units are also excluded from basic weighted

average common shares outstanding until the vesting date. Basic weighted average common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes 1,404,649 performance-based and restricted stock units which are fully vested as of September 30, 2022; however, the shares underlying these stock units are not included in shares currently issued or outstanding as actual delivery of the shares is not scheduled to occur until December 4, 2023.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of all potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities during the Successor periods consist of nonvestedinclude restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), and outstanding series A and series B warrants and during the Predecessor periods consisted of nonvested restricted stock, nonvested performance-based equity awards, and convertible senior notes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 Successor period, the Company’s restricted stock units and series A and series B warrants were antidilutive based on the Company’s net loss position for the period. Despite the Company’s net income position for the period September 19, 2020 to September 30, 2020, the Company’s series A and series B warrants were antidilutive because the Company’s stock price during the period was lower than the warrant exercise prices. At September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had approximately 5.33.2 million warrants outstanding that can be exercised for shares of the Successor’sour common stock, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for the 2.61.8 million seriesSeries A warrants outstanding and at an exercise price of $35.41 per share for the 2.71.4 million seriesSeries B warrants outstanding.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Unevaluated Costs. Under full cost accounting, we exclude certain unevaluated costs from the amortization base and full cost ceiling test pending the determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. These costs are transferred to the full cost amortization base as these properties are developed, tested and evaluated. At least annually, we test these assets for impairment based on an evaluation of management’s expectations of future pricing, evaluation of lease expiration terms, and planned development activities. In the first quarter of 2020 Predecessor period, given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices in March and April 2020, we reassessed our development plans and transferred $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs to the full cost amortization base. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our oil and natural gas properties, including unevaluated properties, being recorded at their fair values at the Emergence Date.
Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Under full cost accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted
Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional CO2 capital costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.
We recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $14.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, with first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices for the preceding 12 months averaging $36.40 per Bbl, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field.2021. The write-down was primarily a result of the March 2021 acquisition of Wyoming property interestsCO2 EOR properties (see Note 2, Acquisition and DivestituresDivestiture) which was recorded based on a valuation that utilized NYMEX strip oil prices at the acquisition date, which were significantly higher than the average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices used to value the cost ceiling. We did not record a ceiling test write-down during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Predecessor also recognized full cost pool ceiling test write-downs of $261.7 million during the period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, $662.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020CCUS Storage Sites and $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not record any ceiling test write-downs during the Successor periods from September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, or for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
We record revenue in accordance with FASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“FASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO2 contracts is received within aone month following product delivery, and for natural gas and NGL contracts, payment is generally received within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. From time to time,In certain situations, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase and subsequent sale of crude oil forfrom third parties. RevenuesWe recognize the revenues received and the associated expenses fromincurred on these transactions are presentedsales on a gross basis, as “Oil marketing revenues” and “Oil marketing purchases” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, since we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement
On the Emergence Date,September 18, 2020, we entered into a $575 million credit agreement for a senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”). The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a borrowing base and lender commitments of $575 million. Availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year, with our next scheduled redetermination around May 1, 2022.year. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in part, upon external factors over which we have no control. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement exceeds the then-effective borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months. The Bank Credit Agreement matures on January 30, 2024. The undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum. Our outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement, totaled $15.0 million and $35.0 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
On May 4, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which among other things:

The•Modified the interest provisions on loans under the Bank Credit Agreement limits our abilityto (1) reduce the applicable margin for alternate base rate loans from 2% to 3% per annum to 1.5% to 2.5% per annum and (2) replace provisions referencing LIBOR loans with Secured Overnight Financing Rate loans, with an applicable margin of 2.5% to 3.5% per annum; and
•Permitted us to pay dividends on our common stock orand make other unlimited restricted payments in an amount not to exceed “Distributable Free Cash Flow”, but only ifand investments so long as (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 21.5 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is at least 20%. of the borrowing base.
As part of our Fall 2022 semiannual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and lender commitments for our Bank Credit Agreement were reaffirmed at $750 million, with our next scheduled redetermination around May 1, 2023.
The Bank Credit Agreement also limits our ability to, among other things, incur and repay other indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; engage in sales of assets; make acquisitions and investments; make other restricted payments (including redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our common stock); and enter into commodity derivative agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions.certain exceptions to such limitations, as specified in the Bank Credit Agreement. Our Bank Credit Agreement required certain minimum commodity hedge levels in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy; however, these conditions were met as of December 31, 2020, and we currently have no ongoing hedging requirements under the Bank Credit Agreement.
The Bank Credit Agreement is secured by (1) our proved oil and natural gas properties, which are held through our restricted subsidiaries; (2) the pledge of equity interests of such subsidiaries; (3) a pledge of our commodity derivative agreements; (4) a pledge of deposit accounts, securities accounts and our commodity accounts; and (5) a security interest in substantially all other collateral that may be perfected by a Uniform Commercial Code filing, subject to certain exceptions.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants including the following:
•A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), with such ratio not to exceed 3.5 times; and
•A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of 1.0.
For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Bank Credit Agreement.
The above description of our Bank Credit Agreement is qualified by the express language and defined terms contained in the Bank Credit Agreement.
Pipeline Financing Transactions
During the first nine months of 2021, Denbury paid $52.5 million to Genesis Energy, L.P. in accordance with the October 2020 restructuring of the financing arrangements of our NEJD CO2 pipeline system. The final quarterly installment of $17.5 million was paid on October 29, 2021.Agreement and amendments thereto.
Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In early May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During June and July 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock under this program for approximately $100 million, at an average price of $61.92 per share. In August 2022, the Board increased Denbury’s stock repurchase authorization by $100 million, thus a total of $250.0 million of common stock currently remains authorized for future repurchases under this program. The program has no pre-established ending date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or specific number of shares of its common stock under the program.
Retirement of Treasury Stock
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we retired 1.6 million shares of existing treasury stock, with a carrying value of $100.0 million, acquired primarily through our stock repurchase program. Upon the retirement of treasury stock, we reduce common stock by the par value of common stock retired, and we reduce additional paid-in capital by the value of those shares in excess of par value.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On June 1, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the Denbury Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizing the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock thereunder. In accordance with the ESPP, full-time employees may contribute up to 10% of their base salary, subject to certain limitations, to purchase previously unissued Denbury common stock. Participants in the ESPP may purchase common stock at a 15% discount to the fair market value of a share of common stock determined as the lower of the closing sales price on the first or last trading day of each offering period. The first offering period under the ESPP commenced on September 1, 2022 and will end on December 31, 2022. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.
Note 6. Income Taxes
AsWe make estimates and judgments in determining our income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing and recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances, and in making this determination we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. In our assessment, we consider the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry’s historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax planning strategies.
Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We assess the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred tax assets, which was $125.5 million at December 31, 2021, on a quarterly basis. This valuation allowance on our federal and certain state deferred tax assets was recorded in September 30, 2021,2020 after the application of fresh start accounting, as (1) the tax basis of our assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, iswas in excess of theirthe carrying value, as adjusted for fresh start accounting on September 18, 2020; therefore,and (2) our historical pre-tax income reflected a three-year cumulative loss primarily due to ceiling test write-downs and reorganization items that were recorded in 2020. While we are currentlycontinued to be in a net deferred tax asset position. Based on all available evidence, both positive and negative,cumulative three-year-loss position through the first quarter of 2022, we continue to record a valuation allowance on our underlying deferred tax assetsinitially determined as of September 30, 2021, as we believeMarch 31, 2022, that there was sufficient positive evidence, primarily related to a substantial increase in worldwide oil prices, to conclude that $64.9 million of our federal and certain state deferred tax assets are more likely than not more-likely-than-not to be realized. Accordingly, we reversed $5.9 million, $18.8 million and $29.2 million of this valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2022, respectively, and currently expect to reverse the remaining $11.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, resulting in a reduction to our annualized effective tax rate. We intendcontinue to maintain thea valuation allowances on our deferredallowance of $60.6 million for certain state tax assets until there is sufficient evidencebenefits that we currently do not expect to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowances, which will largely be determined based on oil prices and the Company’s ability to generate positive pre-tax income.realize before their expiration.
We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 25% in 20212022 and 2020.2021. Our effective tax ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (Successor) differed from2022 was significantly lower than our estimated statutory rate asprimarily due to the deferred tax expense generated byrelease of the operating income forvaluation allowance that was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the deferred tax benefit generated from our operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were offset by a valuation allowance applied to our underlying federal and state deferred tax assets.2022.

Note 6.7. Commodity Derivative Contracts
We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change. These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, costless collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices, and occasionally requirements under our bank credit facility. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the hedging requirements under our Bank Credit Agreement requiring certain minimum commodity hedge levels through July 31, 2022, and we do not have any additional hedging requirements under the Bank Credit Agreement.prices.
We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of September 30, 2021,2022, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements.

Note 7.8. Fair Value Measurements
The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements
Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
•Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX and regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars and the sold put features of our three-way collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
•Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Since we do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, any gains and losses on our assets and liabilities are included in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of our loans under our Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. The estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020, excluding pipeline financing obligations,2021 was $70.0 million.$15.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively. We have other financial instruments consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury notes, short-term receivables and payables that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument and the relatively short maturities.
Note 8.9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation isand regulatory proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

OVERVIEW
Denbury is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, use, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure. The utilization of captured industrial-sourced CO2 in EOR significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the oil that Denbury produces, making the Company’s scopeScope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions negative today, with a goal to also fully offsetbe net-zero on its scopeScope 1, 2, and 3 CO2 emissions within this decade,by 2030, primarily through increasing the amount of captured industrial-sourced CO2 used in its operations.
Carbon Capture, Use and Storage. CCUS is a process that captures CO2 from industrial sources and either reuses or stores the CO2 in geologic formations in order to prevent its release into the atmosphere. We utilize CO2 from industrial sources in our EOR operations, and our extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure and operations, particularly in the Gulf Coast, are strategically located in close proximity to large sources of industrial emissions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 39% of the CO2 utilized in our oil and gas operations was industrial-sourced CO2, equivalent to an annualized average usage rate of over 4 million metric tons in 2022. This compares to 34% utilized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, with the increase related to commencing CO2 injection in the first phase of our Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”) EOR project. We believe that the assets and technical expertise required for CCUS are highly aligned with our existing CO2 EOR operations, providing us with a significant advantage and opportunity to lead in the emerging CCUS industry, as the building of a permanent carbon capture and sequestration business by others requires both time and capital to build assets such as those we own and have been operating for years.
We have been seeking to build our CCUS business and pursue new CCUS opportunities on two fronts: first, we have been engaged with existing and potential third-party industrial CO2 emitters regarding CO2 transportation and storage solutions under long term agreements; second, we have been identifying and securing potential future sequestration sites for permanent storage. We continue to make material progress in both of these pursuits, and we currently have signed term sheets and definitive agreements for the potential future transportation and storage of up to 20 million tons of CO2 per annum from the planned capture of CO2 emissions from existing and proposed industrial plants. On the sequestration front, we have also signed agreements securing the rights to five future sequestration sites which we believe have the potential to store up to 1.5 billion metric tons of CO2.
While our use of CO2 in EOR is the only CCUS operation reflected in our historical financial and operational results (as a cost), we believe the incentives offered under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code and the expansion of those incentives under the August 2022 Inflation Reduction Act will drive demand for CCUS and allow us to collect a fee for the transportation and storage of captured industrial-sourced CO2, including CO2 utilized in our EOR operations. Although we believe our first revenues associated with the sequestration of CO2 will likely occur in 2024 or 2025, we are currently incurring costs to develop and permit storage sites and will continue to advance those efforts over the next several years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we capitalized $32.3 million in “CCUS storage sites and related assets” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily consisting of acquisition costs associated with sequestration sites. In addition, during the third quarter we made a $10.0 million investment in the project development company (“Clean Hydrogen Works”) of a planned blue hydrogen/ammonia multi-block facility, while also signing a definitive agreement for the transportation and sequestration of CO2 for the first two blocks of the proposed plant. The investment is included in “Other assets” in the

Oil Price Impact on Our Business. Our financial results are significantly impacted by changes in oil prices, as 97% of our sales volumes are oil. Changes in oil prices impact all aspects of our business; most notably our cash flows from operations, revenues, capital allocation and budgeting decisions, and oil and natural gas reserves volumes. Oil prices have historically been volatile and can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. For example, average NYMEX WTI oil prices increased from the mid-$70s per Bbl range in the fourth quarter of 2021 to an average of approximately $109 per Bbl during the second quarter of 2022 before declining to an average of approximately $91 per Bbl during the third quarter of 2022. The table belowincreases in oil prices from 2021 levels were due in part to worldwide oil supply disruptions associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

NYMEX WTIAs shown in the table above, our oil and natural gas revenues have increased dramatically during 2022 due to the increase in oil prices. However, the benefit of the increase in revenues during the first half of 2022 was offset in part by the impact of higher cash payments on our commodity derivative contracts which were settled during that period. These contracts were largely required to be entered into during the fourth quarter of 2020 under the one-time requirement of our September 18, 2020 bank credit facility. During the third quarter of 2022, less of our production was hedged, and our hedges for the second half of 2022 are at more favorable prices strengthened fromand with a greater mix of collars, providing the mid-$40s per Bbl range in December 2020potential for us to an averagerealize a greater portion of approximately $71 per Bblincreased oil prices. We paid $55.8 million during the third quarter of 2021, reaching highs of over $75 per Bbl in early-July 2021 and late-September 2021.
The benefit of the steady growth in our oil sales over the last four quarters due to rising oil prices has been offset in part by our payments on settlement of commodity derivative contracts, especially in the second and third quarters of 2021, principally due to the strike prices of our fixed-price swaps which were entered into in late 2020 based on the hedging requirements we were obligated to meet under our bank credit facility. During the first nine months of 2021, we paid $179.5 million2022 related to the expiration of commodity derivative contracts and expect to make additional payments on the settlement of our contracts expiring during the fourth quarterremainder of 2021.Our current hedging levels decrease significantly in 2022, and we are hedged at more favorable prices and with a greater mix of collars, allowing for additional upside. We do not have any additional hedging requirements under our bank credit facility.2022.
Third Quarter 20212022 Financial Results and Highlights. We recognized net income of $250.4 million, or $4.66 per diluted common share, during the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net income of $82.7 million, or $1.51 per diluted common share, during the third quarter of 2021. As a result of Denbury filing for bankruptcy and emerging from bankruptcy during the same quarter, our prior-year quarterly financial results are broken out between the predecessor period (July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020) and the successor period (September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020). For the predecessor period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, we recognized a net loss of $809.1 million, and for the successor period from September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020, we recognized net income of $2.8 million. The principal determinant of our comparative third quarter results between 2020 and 2021 were (a) an $850.0 million charge for reorganization items, net, during the prior-year predecessor period, primarily consisting of fresh start accounting adjustments and (b) a $261.7 million full cost pool ceiling test write-down during the prior-year predecessor period. Additionalprimary drivers of the comparative third quarter operating results include the following:
•Oil and natural gas revenues increased $133.0$86.8 million (76%(28%), nearly entirely due primarily to an increase in commodityoil prices;
•Lease operating expenses increased $45.3 million, primarily due to (a) a $15.4 million insurance reimbursement that reduced lease operating expenses in the prior-year period, (b) an increase of $8.1 million related to the March 2021 Wind River Basin acquisition, and (c) higher expenses across all lease operating expense categories, largely driven by higher commodity prices and increased workover activity; and
•Commodity derivatives expense increaseddecreased by $41.2$151.0 million consisting of a $95.5$129.1 million decreaseincrease in cash receipts upon contract settlementsnoncash fair value changes ($77.7165.0 million in paymentsgain during the third quarter of 20212022 compared to $17.8a $35.9 million in receipts upon settlements during the third quarter of 2020), partially offset by a $54.3 million improvement in noncash fair value changes ($35.9 million of income in the current period compared to $18.4 million of expensegain in the prior-year period)., and a $21.9 million decrease in cash payments upon derivative contract settlements;

Third Quarter 2021 Houston Area Land Sales. •During the third quarter of 2021, we completed sales of a portion of certain non-producing surface acreage in the Houston area. We recognized cash proceeds of $11.8 million from the sales and recorded a $7.0 million gain to “Other income” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income tax expense increased by $40.9 million.
Common Share Repurchase Program. In early May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During June 2021 Divestitureand July 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Hartzog Draw Deep Mineral Rights. On June 30, 2021, we closedDenbury common stock under this program for approximately $100 million, at an average price of $61.92 per share. In August 2022, the saleBoard increased Denbury’s stock repurchase authorization by $100 million, thus a total of undeveloped, unconventional deep mineral rights in Hartzog Draw Field in Wyoming.$250 million of common stock currently remains authorized for future repurchases under this program. The cash proceedsprogram has no pre-established ending date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or specific number of $18 million were recorded to “Proved properties” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds reduced our full cost pool; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded onshares of its common stock under the transaction, and the sale had no impact on our production or reserves.program.
March 2021 AcquisitionCommencement of WyomingCedar Creek Anticline CO2 EOR Fields.Injection. On March 3, 2021,In early February 2022, we acquired a nearly 100% working interest (approximately 83% net revenue interest) in the Big Sand Draw and Beaver Creek EOR fields (collectively “Wind River Basin”) located in Wyoming from a subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation for $10.9 million cash (after final closing adjustments), including surface facilities and a 46-milecommenced CO2 transportation pipelineinjection in the first phase of our CCA EOR project. In order to stay ahead of potential supply chain delays, we have increased capital investment in the acquired fields. The acquisition agreement provides for ussecond half of the year at CCA to make two contingent cash payments, oneaccelerate our procurement of compression equipment and construction of CO2 recycle facilities to ensure facilities are in January 2022 and one in January 2023, of $4 million each, conditioned on NYMEX WTI oil prices averaging at least $50 per Bbl during each of 2021 and 2022. As of September 30, 2021, the contingent consideration was recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at its fair value of $7.4 million, a $2.1 million increaseplace to handle anticipated production from the March 2021 acquisition date fair value. This $2.1 million increasefield. We continue to expect tertiary oil production response from CCA in the second half of 2023. In addition, drilling and facility construction at September 30, 2021 was the resultCompany’s Pennel CO2 pilot, in advance of higher NYMEX WTI oil prices and was recorded to “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated StatementsPhase 2 development of Operations.

Carbon Capture, UseWarrant Exercises. In September 2020 we issued 2,631,579 Series A warrants with an exercise price of $32.59 per share and Storage. CCUS is2,894,740 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $35.41 per share. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a process that captures CO2 from industrial sourcescashless basis. The Series A warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2025, and reuses it or stores the CO2 in geologic formations in order to prevent its release intoSeries B warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2023, at which times the atmosphere. We utilize CO2 from industrial sources in our EOR operations, and our extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure and operations, particularly in the Gulf Coast, are strategically located in close proximity to large sources of industrial emissions. We believe that the assets and technical expertise required for CCUS are highly aligned with our existing CO2 EOR operations, providing us with a significant advantage and opportunity to participate in the emerging CCUS industry, as the building of a permanent carbon sequestration business requires both time and capital to build assets such as those we own and have been operating for years.warrants expire. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, 119,367 and 1,941,380 of Series A and B warrants were exercised for a total of 71,440 shares and 1,073,004 shares, respectively, most of which were exercised on a cashless basis. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 34%3.2 million warrants outstanding, 1.8 million of Series A and 1.4 million of Series B, which represents approximately 58.7% of the CO2 utilizedaggregate Series A and B warrants issued in our oil and gas operations was industrial-sourced CO2, and we anticipate this percentage could increase in the future as supportive U.S. government policy and public pressure on industrial CO2 emitters will provide strong incentives for these entities to capture their CO2 emissions.September 2020.
As we seek to grow our CCUS business and pursue new CCUS opportunities, we have been engaged in discussions with existing and potential third-party industrial CO2 emitters regarding transportation and storage solutions, while also identifying potential future sequestration sites and landowners of those locations. We continue to make progress in these discussions and have recently executed several term sheets for the future transportation and sequestration of CO2. While EOR is the only CCUS operation reflected in our current and historical financial and operational results, and development of our permanent carbon sequestration business is likely to take several years, we believe Denbury is well positioned to leverage our existing CO2 pipeline infrastructure and EOR expertise to be a leader in this industry.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Overview. Our cash flows from operations and availability under our senior secured bank credit facility are our primary sources of capital and liquidity. Our most significant cash capital outlays in 2021 relate to our budgetedoil and gas development capital expenditures and payment of $70 million of pipeline financing obligations associated with the NEJD pipeline. Based on our current 2021 full-year projections using recent oil price futures, our cash flow from operations in 2021 should be more than adequate to cover our remaining budgeted development capital expenditures and also cover a significant portion of our $70 million repayment of pipeline financing obligations. In addition, $29.8 million of non-producing property sales in the first nine months of 2021 provided cash to further reduce our debt.
CCUS initiatives. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had no$15.0 million of outstanding borrowings onand $11.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under our $575$750 million senior secured bank credit facility, leaving us with $563.2$723.6 million of borrowing base availability after consideration of $11.8and approximately $724.1 million of outstanding letterstotal liquidity including our cash position at September 30, 2022. This liquidity is more than adequate to meet our currently planned operating and capital needs.
Nine Months Ended September 2022 Sources and Uses of credit. Our borrowing base availability, coupled with unrestrictedCash Flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated cash flows from operations of $396.4 million, while utilizing net cash of $1.8$288.0 million provides us total liquidityin investing activities, primarily related to oil and gas and CCUS, and utilizing net cash of $110.6 million in financing activities, $100.0 million of which was utilized for the repurchase of Denbury common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase program.
2022 Capital Expenditure Plans. Based on our most recent budget, our full-year 2022 estimate for oil and gas development capital spending, excluding capitalized acquisitions and capitalized interest, is approximately $360 million. In addition to our budgeted oil and natural gas capital investments, we have budgeted approximately $50 million in connection with our strategic CCUS priorities, with expenditures primarily focused on securing CO2 sequestration sites and drilling one or more stratigraphic test wells in those sequestration sites. Due to supply chain disruptions, the timing of certain of the Company’s oil and gas development activities has been delayed from when originally projected to later in the year.

$565.0 million as of September 30, 2021, which is more than adequate to meet our currently planned operating and capital needs.
2021 Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2021 were $173.8 million. We continue to anticipate that our full-year 2021 development capital spending, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, will be in a range of $250 million to $270 million. Approximately 45% of our 2021 capital expenditures through September 30, 2021 have been focused on the previously announced development of the EOR CO2 flood at Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”). The project is currently underway, with completion of the 105-mile extension of the Greencore CO2 pipeline from Bell Creek to CCA expected before the end of November 2021, first CO2 injection planned during the first quarter of 2022, and first tertiary production expected in the second half of 2023.
Capital Expenditure Summary. For purposes of tracking and comparing our capital budget to capital expenditure activity, we base those comparisons on when the capital expenditures are incurred, which is generally different than what is reported in our cash flow statements which reflects when cash is actually paid.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. In September 2020, we entered into a $575 million bank credit agreement for a senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”). TheAvailability under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 30, 2024. As part of our fall 2021 semiannual borrowing base, redetermination, the borrowing base and lender commitments for our Bank Credit Agreement were reaffirmed at $575 million, with our next scheduled redeterminationwhich is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 2022.and November 1 of each year. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in part, upon external factors over which we have no control. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement exceeds the then-effective borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months.
On May 4, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which among other things:
•Increased the borrowing base and lender commitments from $575 million to $750 million;
•Extended the maturity date from January 30, 2024 to May 4, 2027;
Denbury Inc.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
•Modified the interest provisions on loans under the Bank Credit Agreement to (1) reduce the applicable margin for alternate base rate loans from 2% to 3% per annum to 1.5% to 2.5% per annum and (2) replace provisions referencing LIBOR loans with Secured Overnight Financing Rate loans, with an applicable margin of 2.5% to 3.5% per annum; and
•Permitted us to pay dividends on our common stock and make other unlimited restricted payments and investments so long as (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 1.5 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is at least 20% of the borrowing base.
As part of our Fall 2022 semiannual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and lender commitments for our Bank Credit Agreement were reaffirmed at $750 million, with our next scheduled redetermination around May 1, 2023.
The Bank Credit Agreement also limits our ability to, among other things, incur and repay other indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; engage in sales of assets; make acquisitions and investments; make other restricted payments (including redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our common stock); and enter into commodity derivative agreements, in each case subject to certain exceptions to such limitations, as specified in the Bank Credit Agreement. Our Bank Credit Agreement required certain minimum commodity hedge levels in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy; however, these conditions were met as of December 31, 2020, and we currently have no ongoing hedging requirements under the Bank Credit Agreement.
The Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants including the following:
•A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), with such ratio not to exceed 3.5 times; and
•A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of 1.0.
For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding. Under these financial performance covenant calculations, as of September 30, 2021,2022, our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDAX was 0.050.03 to 1.0 (with a maximum permitted ratio of 3.5 to 1.0) and our current ratio was 2.602.68 to 1.0 (with a required ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0). Based upon our currently forecasted levels of production and costs, hedges in place as of November 3, 2021,2, 2022, and current oil commodity derivative futures prices, we currently anticipate continuing to be in compliance with our financial performance covenants during the foreseeable future.
The above description of our Bank Credit Agreement is qualified by the express language and defined terms contained in the Bank Credit Agreement and amendments thereto, each of which is filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K Reportperiodic reports filed with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10(d) to the Form 10-Q filed on September 18, 2020.May 6, 2022, contains the full text of the current version of the Bank Credit Agreement inclusive of all changes made by virtue of both the First and Second Amendments thereto.
Commitments, Obligations and Obligations.Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business including debt service requirements, operating and finance leases, purchase obligations, and asset retirement obligations. Our operating leases primarily consist of our office leases. Our purchase obligations represent future cash commitments primarily for purchase contracts for CO2 captured from industrial sources, CO2 processing fees, transportation agreements and well-related costs.
Our commitments and obligations consist of those detailed as of December 31, 2020, in our Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Resources and Liquidity – Commitments, Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our long-term asset retirement obligations increased by $63.8 million, primarily related to our acquisition of working interest positions in Wyoming CO2 EOR fields (see Note 2, Acquisition and Divestitures).

Our off-balance sheet arrangements include obligations for various development and exploratory expenditures that arise from our normal oil and natural gas or CCUS capital expenditure program or from other transactions common to our industry, none of which are recorded on our balance sheet. In addition, in order to recover our undeveloped proved reserves, we must also fund the associated future development costs estimated in our proved reserve reports.
Our commitments, obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2021, are detailed in our Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Resources and Liquidity – Commitments, Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Total sales volumes during the third quarter of 20212022 averaged 49,68247,109 BOE/d, including 33,36932,358 Bbls/d from tertiary properties and 16,31314,751 BOE/d from non-tertiary properties. This sales volume representswas relatively flat with second quarter of 2022 sales volumes as sales volume increases at Wind River Basin (437 BOE/d increase) and Grieve fields (410 BOE/d increase) in the Rocky Mountain region were offset by lower production across various fields, most notably at CCA due in part to downtime associated with installation of the new CO2 flood. On a slight increase of 549year-over-year basis, sales volumes decreased 2,573 BOE/d (1%(5%) compared to sales levels in the secondthird quarter of 2021 and was essentially flat with third quarter of 2020 sales volumes. The increase on a sequential-quarter basis was primarily attributable to higherlow levels of capital investment and development spending in recent years (excluding the new EOR development at CCA). We currently expect sales volumes at our Wind River Basin properties acquiredto increase modestly during the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of incremental production increases from development projects completed in March 2021 and sales of non-tertiary production at Conroe Field in our Gulf Coast region.2022.
Our sales volumes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 97% oil, consistent with our sales during the comparable prior-year periods.

Oil and Natural Gas Revenues
Our oil and natural gas revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 increased 76%28% and 61%49%, respectively, compared to these revenues for the same periods in 2020.2021. The changes in our oil and natural gas revenues are due primarily to higher realized commodity prices (excluding any impact of our commodity derivative contracts), with the change during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 offset somewhat by changes in sales volumes, as reflected in the following table:

CO2 Revenues and Expenses
We sell a portion of the CO2 produced from Jackson Domewe own to third-party industrial users at various contracted prices primarily under long-term contracts. We recognize the revenue received on these CO2 sales as “CO2 sales and transportation fees” with the corresponding costs recognized as “CO2 operating and discovery expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. CO2 sales and transportation fees were $12.2$18.6 million and $31.6$44.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, compared to $7.5$12.2 million and $22.0$31.6 million during the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020,2021, respectively. The increases from the prior-year periods were primarily due to an increase in CO2 sales volumesand transportation fees from the prior-year periods is primarily due to our industrial CO2 customers.revenues received pursuant to a short-term contractual agreement that we expect to end during the fourth quarter of 2022.

TCompared to the prior year third quarter, total lease operating expenses were $116.5 million, or $25.50 per BOE, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $71.2 million, or $15.57 per BOE, for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total lease operating expenses were $308.7third quarter of 2022 increased $17.9 million or $23.21 per BOE, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $261.8 million, or $18.39, for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases(15%) on an absolute-dollar basis, andor $5.53 (22%) on a per-BOE basis. The increase on an absolute-dollar basis werewas primarily due to (a) an insurance reimbursement totaling $15.4 million recorded in the third quarter of 2020 for previously-incurred well control costs, cleanup costs, and damages associated with a 2013 incident at Delhi Field (b) $8.1 million and $17.0 million of expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, related to the Wind River Basin acquisition in March 2021, as these properties have higher operating costs than our other fields (c) higher expenses across nearly all expense categories as our costs are correlated to varying degrees with changes in oil prices (reflecting rising oil prices in 2021) and (d) 2020 period reduced spending and shut-in production in response to significantly lower oil prices in the third quarter of 2020. Lease operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were offset by a $7.6 million reduction in power and fuel costs. The significant reduction in power and fuel costs ($9.3 million), higher workover costs ($5.6 million), and higher labor costs ($2.1 million). These cost increases were partially inflation driven and partially activity driven, with higher power costs primarily impacted by higher natural gas prices and higher workover and labor costs impacted by both inflation and higher activity levels. The percentage increase on a per-BOE basis was associated withfurther impacted by the lower production in the current year period as compared to the prior year period.
When comparing the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, total lease operating expenses increased from the prior year period by $67.9 million (22%) on an absolute-dollar basis, or $6.23 (27%) on a per-BOE basis. The increase on an absolute-dollar basis was primarily due to higher power and fuel costs ($17.7 million), higher workover costs ($13.2 million), higher labor costs ($5.0 million), and higher CO2 purchase costs ($3.3 million). In addition, the nine-month period comparison was further impacted by (a) a 2021 period benefit of $16.1 million resulting from compensation under the Company’s power agreements for power interruption during the severe winter storm in February 2021 which created widespreadrelated to power outages in Texas and disrupted the Company’s operations. Under certainoperations and (b) in the 2022 period, an additional $10.6 million of expense reflecting an entire nine months’ worth of lease operating expenses from our March 2021 acquisition of Wind River Basin properties. Absent these two factors, lease operating expenses for the Company’s power agreements the Company is compensated for its reduced power usage, which resulted in a benefit to the Company of approximately $16.1 million; as ofnine months ended September 30, 2021; $10.3 million of2022 increased 13% on an absolute-dollar basis from the same period in 2021. Consistent with the quarterly comparison cost increases, these savings were includedincreases are related to both inflation and higher activity levels, and the percentage increase on a per-BOE basis was further impacted by lower production in “Trade and other receivables, net” and $1.7 million included in “Other assets” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. the current year period.
Compared to the second quarter of 20212022, lease operating expenses in the most recent quarter increased $6.3$10.1 million (6%(8%) on an absolute-dollar basis and $0.85 (3%$1.68 (6%) on a per-BOE basis, due primarily to higher workover, and power and fuel costs, and contract labor.as well as absence in the third quarter of 2022 of the benefit for an insurance reimbursement totaling $6.7 million for property damage costs incurred during 2013 at Delhi Field.

Full Cost Pool Ceiling Test Write-DownsWrite-Down
Under full cost accounting rules, we are required each quarter to perform a ceiling test calculation. Under these rules, the full cost ceiling value is calculated using the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period. We recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $14.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, with first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices for the preceding 12 months averaging $36.40 per Bbl, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field.2021. The write-down was primarily a result of the March 2021 acquisition of Wyoming property interests (see Overview – March 2021 Acquisition of Wyoming CO2 EOR Fieldsproperties (see Note 2, Acquisition and Divestiture) which was recorded based on a valuation that utilized NYMEX strip oil prices at the acquisition date, which were significantly higher than the average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices used to value the cost ceiling. The Predecessor also recognized full cost pool ceiling test write-downs of $261.7 million during the period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, $662.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not record anya ceiling test write-down during the Successor periods from September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, or the threenine months ended September 30, 2021.2022.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 25% in 20212022 and 2020.2021. Our effective tax ratesrate for the Successor three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were2022 was significantly lower than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to our overall deferred tax asset position andthe release of the valuation allowance offsetting those assets. As we had a pre-tax loss forthat was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022. Our annualized effective tax rate for the income tax benefit resulting from these lossesyear ended December 31, 2022 is fully offset bycurrently estimated to be approximately 15%, as it includes the change inimpact of the release of an additional $11.0 million of valuation allowance, resulting in essentially no tax provision.allowances during the fourth quarter of 2022. This rate could move higher or lower based on our ultimate level of income.
AsWe make estimates and judgments in determining our income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing and recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances, and in making this determination we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. In our assessment, we consider the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry’s historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax planning strategies.
We assess the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred tax assets, which was $125.5 million at December 31, 2021, on a quarterly basis. This valuation allowance on our federal and certain state deferred tax assets was recorded in September 30, 2021,2020 after the application of fresh start accounting, as (1) the tax basis of our assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, iswas in excess of theirthe carrying value, as adjusted for fresh start accounting on September 18, 2020; therefore,and (2) our historical pre-tax income reflected a three-year cumulative loss primarily due to ceiling test write-downs and reorganization items that were recorded in 2020. While we are currentlycontinued to be in a net deferred tax asset position. Based on all availablecumulative three-year-loss position during the first quarter of 2022, we initially determined, at that time, that there was sufficient positive evidence, both positiveprimarily related to a substantial increase in worldwide oil prices, to conclude that $64.9 million of our federal and negative, we continue to record a valuation allowance on our underlying deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021, as we believe ourcertain state deferred tax assets are more likely than not more-likely-than-not to be realized. Accordingly, we reversed $5.9 million, $18.8 million, and $29.2 million of this valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2022, respectively, and currently expect to reverse the remaining $11.0 million in December 31, 2022, resulting in a reduction to our annualized effective tax rate. We intendwill continue to maintain thea valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversalallowance of all or some portion of the allowances, which will largely be determined based on oil prices and the Company’s ability to generate positive pre-tax income.
The current income tax benefits$60.6 million for the Predecessor period ended September 18, 2020 represent amounts estimated to be receivable resulting from alternative minimum tax credits and certain state tax obligations.benefits that we currently do not expect to realize before their expiration.
As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had $0.6 million of alternative minimum tax credits, which under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act will be refunded in 2021refundable by 2022 and are recorded as a receivable on the balance sheet. Our significant state net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years, starting in 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Commodity Derivative Contracts
We enter into oil derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength, expectation of future commodity prices, and occasionally requirements under our bank credit facility. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with hedging requirements under our Bank Credit Agreement requiring certain non-recurring minimum commodity hedge levels covering anticipated crude oil production through July 31,September 30, 2022, and we do not have any additional hedging requirements under our Bank Credit Agreement. In order to provide a level of price protection to a portion of our oil production, we have hedged a portion of our estimated oil production through 20222023 using NYMEX fixed-price swaps and costless collars. Depending on market conditions, we may continue to add to our existing 2022 and 2023 hedges. See also Note 6, Commodity Derivative ContractsIncome Taxes, and Note 78, Fair Value Measurements, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts.
All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our commodity derivatives are provided by external sources. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification. All of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivative contracts, which we have measured for nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads.
For accounting purposes, we do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our commodity derivative contracts. This means that any changes in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts will be charged to earnings instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.
At September 30, 2021,2022, the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net liabilityasset of $209.5$2.0 million, a $35.9$165.1 million decreaseincrease from the $245.4$163.1 million net liability recorded at June 30, 2021,2022 and a $150.7$136.5 million increase from the $58.8$134.5 million net liability recorded at December 31, 2020. These2021. The changes are primarily related to the expiration of commodity derivative contracts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, new commodity derivative contracts entered into during 2021 for future periods, and to the2022, changes in oil futures prices from period to period.between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, and new commodity derivative contract commitments during 2022 for future periods.
Commodity Derivative Sensitivity Analysis
Based on NYMEX crude oil futures prices and derivative contracts in place as of September 30, 2021,2022, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to make payments on our crude oil derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2021 as shown in the following table:
| | | | | | | | |
In thousands | | Receipt / (Payment) |
Based on: | | |
Futures prices as of September 30, 20212022 | | $ | (197,214)(17,475) | |
10% increase in prices | | (277,213)(53,553) | |
10% decrease in prices | | (125,537)28,694 | |
Our commodity derivative contracts are used as an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future production. As a result, changes in receipts or payments of our commodity derivative contracts due to changes in commodity prices, as reflected in the above table, would be mostly offset by a corresponding increase or decrease in the cash receipts on sales of our oil production to which those commodity derivative contracts relate.
Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity
As of September 30, 2022, we had $15.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Bank Credit Agreement. At this level of variable-rate debt, an increase or decrease of 10% in interest rates would not have an immaterial effect on our interest expense. Our Bank Credit Agreement does not have any triggers or covenants regarding our debt ratings with rating agencies. The following table presents the principal and fair values of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2022:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021,2022, to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, that it is processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have determined that, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
