The PPP Loans are evidenced by a promissory note in favor of the Lender, which bears interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum. No payments of principal or interest are due under the note until the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness (if any) under the CARES Act, which can be up to 10 months after the end of the related notes covered period (which is defined as 24 weeks after the date of the loan) (the “Deferral Period”).

(6) Other Long-Term Obligations and Commitments:

Operating Leases:

The Company leases office facilities under operating leases and recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases assets and liabilities are initially recorded at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
A new finance lease for office equipment is included in property and equipment, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities this quarter. As
 most of the Company’s lease contracts do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average discount rate used was 5.5%. Certain leases may contain variable costs above the minimum required payments and are not included in the
right-of-use
assets or liabilities. Leases may include renewal, purchase or termination options that can extend or shorten the term of the lease. The exercise of those options is at the Company’s sole discretion and is evaluated at inception and throughout the contract to determine if a modification of the lease term is required. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Operating lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 were $434 thousand.
$450,000
. Cash payments included in the operating lease cost for nine months ended September 30, 20202021 were $462 thousand.

Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. Revisions to the asset retirement obligation are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and accretion of discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long life of most of the Company’s wells, the costs to ultimately retire the wells may vary significantly from previous estimates.

(7) Contingent Liabilities:

The Company, as managing general partner of the affiliated Partnerships, is responsible for all Partnership activities, including the drilling of development wells and the production and sale of oil and gas from productive wells. The Company also provides the administration, accounting and tax preparation work for the Partnerships, and is liable for all debts and liabilities of the affiliated Partnerships, to the extent that the assets of a given limited Partnership are not sufficient to satisfy its obligations.

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that future expenses, before recoveries from third parties, if any, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. This opinion is based on expenses incurred to date for remediation and compliance with laws and regulations, which have not been material to the Company’s results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these events cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

(8) Stock Options and Other Compensation:

In May 1989,
non-statutory
stock options were granted by the Company to four4 key executive officers for the purchase of shares of common stock.

According to their terms, the options have no expiration date.

(9) Related Party Transactions:

The Company, as managing general partner or managing trustee, makes an annual offer to repurchase the interests of the partners and trust unit holders in certain of the Partnerships or Trusts. The Company purchased repurchased $6,000 of such
non-controlling
interests totaling $306,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The Company had no such repurchases during the nine months endedending September 30, 2020.

(10) Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements:

Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and stipulates the related disclosure requirements. The Company follows a three-level hierarchy, prioritizing and defining the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps, natural gas and crude oil price swapscollars and natural gas liquid swaps are designated as Level 3. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019:

Table of Contents
The derivative contracts were measured based on quotes from the Company’s counterparties. Such quotes have been derived using valuation models that consider various inputs including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward prices for natural gas ,and crude oil, natural gas liquids, volatility factors and interest rates, such as a LIBOR curve for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable. These estimates are verified using comparable NYMEX futures contracts or are compared to multiple quotes obtained from counterparties for reasonableness.

The significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 derivative contracts include basis differentials and volatility factors. An increase (decrease) in these unobservable inputs would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value, respectively. The Company does not have access to the specific assumptions used in its counterparties’ valuation models. Consequently, additional disclosures regarding significant Level 3 unobservable inputs were not provided.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for the periodquarter ended September 30, 2020.

Derivative instruments are reported in revenues as realized gain (loss)gain/loss and on a separately reported line item captioned unrealized gain (loss)gain/loss on derivative instruments.

Derivative Instruments:

The Company is exposed to commodity price and interest rate risk, and management considers periodically the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability resulting from the commodity price changes and interest rate fluctuations. Futures, swaps and options are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk inherent in the Company’s oil and gas production operations. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its commodity basedcommodity-based derivatives. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings.

Interest rate swap derivatives are treated as cash-flow hedges and are used to fix the Company’s floating interest rates on existing debt. The value of interest rate swaps if applicable, would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. There are no current interest rate swaps for the periods ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our results of operations and our present financial condition. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material.

OVERVIEW

We attempt to assume the position of operatorare an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in all acquisitions ofacquiring, developing and producing oil and natural gas. We presently own producing and
non-producing
properties located primarily in Texas and will continue to evaluate prospects for leasehold acquisitions and for exploration and development operations in areas in whichOklahoma. In addition, we own interests. We continue to actively pursue the acquisitiona substantial amount of producing properties. To diversify and broaden our asset base, we will consider acquiring the assets or stock in other entities and companies in the oil and gas business. Our main objective in making any such acquisitions will be to acquire income producing assets to build stockholder value through consistent growth inwell servicing equipment. All of our oil and gas reserve base on a cost-efficient basis.

properties and interests are located in the United States. Assets in our principal focus areas include mature properties with long-lived reserves and significant development opportunities as well as newer properties with development and exploration potential. We believe our balanced portfolio of assets and our ongoing hedging program position us well for both the current commodity price environment and future potential upside as we develop our attractive resource opportunities. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations and our credit facility.

Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids (NGL’s), the success of our acquisition and drilling activities, and the operational performance of our producing properties. We use derivative instruments to manage our commodity price risk. This practice may prevent us from receiving the full advantage of any increases in oil and gascommodity prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative agreements and subjects us to the credit risk of the counterparties to such agreements. Since all our derivative contracts are accounted for under
mark-to-market
accounting, we expect continued volatility in gains and losses on
mark-to-market
derivative contracts in our consolidated statement of operations as changes occur in the NYMEX price indices.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China, and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. In addition, in March 2020, members of OPEC failed to agree on production levels which has caused an increased supply and has led to a substantial decrease in oil prices and an increasingly volatile market. The oil price war ended with a deal to cut global petroleum output but did not go far enough to offset the impact of COVID-19 on demand. There has been an increase in supply which has pushed prices down further since March. If the depressed pricing continues for an extended period it will lead to i) further reductions in the borrowing base under our credit facility which would require us to make additional borrowing base deficiency payments, ii) reductions in reserves, and iii) additional impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. We also expect disclosures of supplemental oil and gas information to be impacted by price declines.

In response to recent commodity prices our efforts to reduce costs include reducing operating costs and electing to shut-in marginal wells. The Company reviewed field operations to minimize costs and identify wells for short term shut-ins. The Company has also implemented a reduction in workforce to further reduce general and administrative costs. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and the decline in oil prices continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that these events will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.

Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. These matters may have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown, which may impair the Company’s asset values, including reserve estimates. Further, consumer demand has decreased since the spread of the outbreak and new travel restrictions placed by governments in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impacts of these events at this time, if the pandemic and/or decreased oil prices continue, they may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of natural gas, and crude oil, and NGLs and our ability to market our productionproducts on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by weather conditions, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials, and other factors. In addition, our realized prices are further impacted by our derivative and hedging activities.

We derive our revenue and cash flow principally from the sale of oil, natural gas, and NGLs. As a result, our revenues are determined, to a large degree, by prevailing prices for crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. We sell our oil, and natural gas, and NGLs on the open market and to local processing companies at prevailing market prices or through forward delivery contracts. Because some of our operations are located outside major markets, we are directly impacted by regional prices regardless of Henry Hub, WTI, or other major market pricing. The market price for oil, natural gas, and NGLs is dictated by supply and demand; consequently, we cannot accurately predict or control the priceprices we

may receive for our produced products. Index prices for oil, natural gas, and NGLs. The priceNGLs are considerably higher than and we expect prices to remain volatile and consequently cannot determine with any degree of oil and natural gas has fallen significantly since the beginning of 2020, duecertainty what effect increases or decreases in part to failed Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) negotiations as well as concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impactthese prices will have on the worldwide economy and global demand for oil and gas. The resulting precipitous decline in oil and gas pricing experienced during March 2020, through the date of this report, if prolonged.our capital program, production volumes or a further deterioration of the market price for oil and natural gas, will negatively impact our cash flows.

revenue.

We are the operator of the majority of our developed and undeveloped acreage which is nearly all held by production. In the Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, the Company maintains an acreage position of approximately 19,680 gross (12,322(12,460 net) acres, 97% of which is located in Reagan, Upton, Martin, and Midland counties of Texas where our current horizontal drilling activity is focused. We believe thisThis acreage has significant resource potential in the Spraberry and Wolfcamp intervals for additional horizontal drilling that could support the drilling of as many asmore than 250 additional horizontal wells. In Oklahoma, we maintain an acreage position of approximately 56,36049,765 gross (10,580(10,953 net) acres. Our Oklahoma horizontal development is focused primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grady, Garfield, Major and Garvin counties. We believe approximately 3,4605,579 net acres in these counties hold significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 5249 new horizontal wells based on an estimate of four to ten wells per section, depending on the reservoir target area. Should we choose to participate with a working interest in future development, our share of these future capital expenditures would be approximately $40$34 million at an average 10% ownership level.

Future development plans are established based on various factors, including the expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.

West Texas Region

Our West Texas activities are concentrated in the Permian Basin inof West Texas and New Mexico. The basin covers more than 75,000 square miles and extends across 52 Counties. The Wolfcamp and Spraberry field was discovered in 1949, encompasses eight counties in West Texas and the Company believes it isreservoirs of this basin are among the largest contiguous accumulations of oil fieldand gas in the United States. The field is approximately 150 miles long and 75 miles wide at its widest point. The oil producedProduction from these reservoirs is West Texas Intermediate Sweet and the gas produced is casing-head gas with an average energy content

On
December 31, 2017 our reserve report included 779 MBoe2020, the Company had 3,221 Mboe of proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves attributable to 22 horizontal wells that were all completed in 2018, therefore, 100% of these reserves were converted to proved developed in the 2018 year-end reserves report.

In 2018, the Company drilled and completed seventeen horizontal wells in West Texas and eleven horizontal wells in Oklahoma. In addition, the Company added reserves through overriding royalty interest in 16 wells, primarily in Oklahoma and Texas. At year-end 2018, thirteen of the seventeen wells completed in 2018 were designated as Shut-In: eight in our West Texas horizontal development program, which were brought on production in February, 2019, and five in our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack development program, which were brought on production in March, 2019.

At December 31, 2018, our reserve report included 43 MBoe of proved undeveloped reserves attributable to eight horizontal wells that had been drilled but had not yet been completed: three of these were completed in 2019, converting 24 Mboe of undeveloped reserves to proved developed, and five remained uncompleted as of December 31, 2019, which account for 18 Mboe of the 43 Mboe. The Company has 9% ownership in one of these five wells and less than 1% in four wells.

In 2019, in West Texas, in addition to the eight wells classified as Shut-in at year-end 2018 that were brought on production in February, we participated in the drilling and completion of three wells on our Kashmir tract: two wells with an average 49% interest, and a third well for 5.3% interest. One of each of these wells was completed in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry. All three wells were brought on production in May of 2019.

In our Oklahoma, Scoop-Stack play, in 2019, we participated in the drilling and completion of six wells on our WM Wallace tract for 7.67% interest, and nine wells, included on Slash, Osborn, and Leon tracts, with an average 1.34% interest. In addition, three wells drilled in Oklahoma in 2018, designated as proved undeveloped at year-end 2018, were completed in 2019 converting 24 Mboe of reserves to proved developed. Also in Oklahoma, six wells designated as Shut-in on December 31, 2018, were brought into production in 2019: five located on our Ruthie tract, and one on our Braum tract. In the Gulf Coast region, we added production through the recompletion of three vertical wells in Polk County, Texas: one operated by the Company in which we have 72.5% interest, and two operated by Unit Petroleum in which the Company owns 2.81% working interest and 3.77% net revenue interest.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,607 Mboe of undeveloped reserves attributable to 2213 wells operated by others, three of which are new wells spud in 2020 but not drilled until the first quarter of 2021, and 10 of which that were anticipated to be drilled and completed primarily in 2020: tenas of these

They are operated by Apache Corporation and all nine wells are producing as of October 4, 2021. These nine wells account for 3,5263,127 Mboe of the total and 12 wells are located in our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal program and account for 81 Mboe of the total. Of the 12 locations in Oklahoma, six were drilled and are on production, four have been drilled but not yet completed and two are not yet drilled. Nine of the ten wells in West Texas are located on our 1,300 acre Kashmir tract in Upton County. By April 15, of this year six of these had been drilled and are awaiting completion, which is now expected to occur the end of February or beginning of March 2021. undeveloped reserves at

In the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources completed and brought into production in July 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well will be approximately $630,000. Contents

Additional drilling and future development plans will be established based on an expectation of available cash flows from operations and the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.

We employ technologies to establish provedproven reserves that have been demonstrated to provide consistent results capable of repetition. The technologies and economic data being used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, electrical logs, radioactivity logs,decline curve and volumetric analysis, analogy, geologic maps,mapping, as well as evaluation of reservoir properties, production, data, and well test data. The estimated reserves of wells with sufficient production history are estimated using appropriate decline curves. Estimated reserves of producing wells with limited production history and for undeveloped locations are estimated using performance data from analogous wells in the area. These wells are considered analogous based on production performance from the same formation and with similar completion techniques.

The estimated future net revenue (using current prices and costs as of those dates) and the present value of future net revenue (at a 10% discount for estimated timing of cash flow) for our proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves at the end of each of the three years ended December 31, 2019,2020, are summarized as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The PV 10 Value represents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves before income tax, discounted at 10%. Although this measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that the presentation of the PV10 Value is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flow attributable to proved reserves prior tobefore taking into account corporate future income taxes and the current tax structure. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to oil and gas properties. The PV10 of future income taxes represents the sole reconciling item between this
non-GAAP
PV10 Value versus the GAAP measure presented in the standardized measure of discounted cash flow. A reconciliation of these values is presented in the last three columns of the table above. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves after income tax, discounted at 10%.

“Proved developed” oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. “Proved undeveloped” oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Our reserves include amounts attributable to
non-controlling
interests in the Partnerships. These interests represent less than 10% of our reserves.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, product prices are determined using the twelve-month average oil and gas index prices, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average for the first day of the month price for each month, adjusted for oilfield or gas gathering hub and wellhead price differentials (e.g. grade, transportation, gravity, sulfur, and basic sediment and water) as appropriate. Also, in accordance with SEC specifications and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, changes in market prices subsequent to December 31 are not considered.

While it may be reasonably anticipated that the prices received for the sale of our production may be higher or lower than the prices used in this evaluation, as described above, and the operating costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from existing levels, such possible changes in prices and costs were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this evaluation for the SEC case. Actual volumes produced, prices received and costs incurred may vary significantly from the SEC case.

Natural gas prices, based on the twelve-month average of the first of the month Henry Hub index price, were $1.985 per MMBtu in 2020 as compared to $2.58 per MMBtu in 2019, and $3.10 per MMBtu in 2018. Oil prices, based on the NYMEX first of the month average price, were $39.57 per barrel in 2020 as compared to $55.69 per barrel in 2019, and $65.56 per barrel in 2018.
RECENT ACTIVITIES

Since the start

Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are key components of our West Texas horizontal drillingbusiness strategy. For 2021, we will continue our focus on preserving financial flexibility and ample liquidity as we manage the risks facing our industry. Our 2021 capital budget is reflective of current commodity prices and has been established based on an expectation of available cash flows, with any cash flow deficiencies expected to be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we have done historically to preserve or enhance liquidity, we may adjust our capital program in 2015 and throughthroughout the year, divest
non-strategic
assets, or enter into strategic joint ventures.

In the third quarter of 20202021, the Company, together with Apache Corporation, completed nine new horizontal wells on the Kashmir tract in Upton County, Texas. These nine wells include three laterals in each of the Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs. All nine wells were on production by October 4, 2021. The Company has participatedan average of 47.5% working interest in 74 horizontalthese nine wells with a total investment of approximately $24 million. We believe the additional income from these wells will have a significant impact on the Company’s fourth-quarter cash flow. In addition to the Middle and Upper Wolfcamp, the Jo Mill and the Lower Spraberry, which we now consider fully developed, we believe there is future development potential in the Middle Spraberry reservoir on this 1280 acre block. This reservoir will likely be developed with four
two-mile
laterals. The approximate completed cost of four wells in the Permian Basin, seven of which were drilled inMiddle Spraberry is $30.2 million, with the first half of 2020. Through July 2020, the Company has invested approximately $112 MM in our West Texas horizontal drilling program. Of the 74 total horizontal wells participated in, we have an average of 24% working interest. Company’s share being $14.2 million.
In 2019, 11 wells were brought on production: the Company has 49% interest in eight of these wells, all one-mile in length, located on our CC-33 tract, and an average 48% interest in two horizontals and 5.3% interest in one additional horizontal, that are each two-miles in length, located on the Kashmir tract. The Company invested approximately $31.5 million in these 11 wells brought on production in 2019. Through the second quarter of 2020,2021, the Company participated with Ovintiv

In Upton County, West Texas, in addition to the Kashmir Tract described above, we are actively developing a contiguous 3,260-acre block3,260 acre Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) in Upton County with our joint venture partner Apache Corporation. In this acreage block, the Company has 2,600 leasehold acres with interest of between 14% and 56%, depending on the particular lease and depth being developed. In 2018, in this block, eight wells drilled horizontallyDevelopment

has been in the Wolfcamp “B”, were participated in reservoir where we have 33 horizontal wells currently producing. We believe this reservoir is fully developed and the next phase of development for 49% interest. Thisthis block is believed to be full development of the Wolfcamp “B” reservoir for this lease block. Apache will likely now set its sights on development of theshallower Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs. These reservoirs for this block, following the recent successful testing in 2019 of these reservoirs on our offset 1,300-acre lease block. Given the favorable results achieved have been
proven-up
by thenear-offset completions. PrimeEnergy and Apache are planning an initial three wells on the offset block, it is expected that as many as 54 additional horizontals will be slated for development on the 3,260-acre block in the near future. The cost of such development would be approximately $370.6 million with the Company’s share being approximately $170.8 million. In addition, there is a fourth target reservoir, the Middle Spraberry, that is also prospective for development. The potential of the Middle Spraberry, on the 3,280-acre block, is for 18 horizontal wells to be drilled in 2022 that will each be three miles in length. The Company has 36 horizontals laid out for the development of these three reservoirs,18 of which are designed as three-mile laterals. In addition to these reservoirs, there is a Middle Spraberry target that will likely be developed in the future with 12 horizontal wells. In total, we anticipate 48 horizontal wells will develop these four reservoirs with a cost estimate of $146 million net to the Company likely participating for approximately $61.8 million.Company. The actual number of wells that are eventually drilled, as well as the cost and the timing of drilling, will vary based upon many factors including commodity market conditions.

In addition to the 3,260 acreage block under development, the Company is also developing an offsetting 1,300-acre block in Upton County, Texas with Apache Corporation as operator. In the second quarter of 2019 three horizontal wells were completed and brought on production from reservoirs above the Middle Wolfcamp: one in the Wolfcamp “A”, one in the Jo Mill, and one in the Lower Spraberry, confirming the economic viability of these reservoirs on our acreage. Prime holds between 5% and 48% working interest in various depths of this acreage, and of the $26.7 million development cost for these three wells, our share was approximately $9.2 million. As a result of the success of these three wells, six horizontals were drilled in the first half of 2020 on this acreage block. We have an average 47.76% share of these wells. In addition to the six development locations in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill and Lower Sprayberry of our 1,300-acre block, there are four locations in the Middle Spraberry that are likely to be considered for future development at an estimated gross cost of approximately $30.2 million, with the Company’s share being approximately $14.2 million. Also in the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources that was completed and brought into production in July, 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well has been approximately $630,000.

Also in the Permian Basin, of West Texas, we are developing a

The Company owns between 35% toand 38% interest in various leases of this joint venture acreage where Concho ResourcesConocoPhillips is the operator. No near-term additional drilling plans have been received, from Concho Resources, however, offset operators have been actively drilling and their results are encouraging for the future development of offset acreage by other operators has demonstrated the potential for good economic production from multiple landing zones within thison our acreage block.

In Central Reagan County, of West Texas, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company has sold deep rights covering approximately 1,950 acrestwo separate joint development projects that are in the planning stage for a purchase pricethe initial phase of $10.3 million to-date,development to occur in 2022: one with a final total compensationBTA Producers, Inc. and one with Hibernia Resources, LLC. These two joint development acreage blocks can accommodate the drilling of 144 horizontal wells to produce from five prospective reservoirs, four of which are proven. The Company’s share is expected to be $10.7 million.

Since50% and the start of our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal development program, which began in 2013,potential investment by the Company has participated in 41 horizontalwould be approximately $442 million. The actual number of wells for approximately $23.5 million through 2019 with an averageeventually drilled, and the cost and the timing of approximately 7% interest. There have been no newsuch wells participated in through the third quarter of 2020. During this same periodare dependent upon many factors including commodity market conditions.

Also, In Reagan County, Texas, the Company choseand Pioneer Natural Resources have agreed to retain an overriding royalty interest in an additional 69 horizontal wells. In 2019, the Company participated for an average 5.78% interest in 20 horizontal wells in Canadian, Grady, and Kingfisher counties for a net cost ofjointly develop approximately $8.8 million. All 20 wells were completed in 2019, and of these 20 wells, twelve are operated by Encana/Newfield. In addition, the Company is also participating in four wells in Grady County, Oklahoma spud in 2018 that have not yet been completed. During 2019, in Oklahoma, the Company retained an overriding royalty interest in eighteen wells, nine of which were completed in 2019, and nine of which have yet to be completed. Through the third quarter of 2020, the Company has retained an interest in four wells located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, completed in February of this year.

Our horizontal activity in Oklahoma is focused in Canadian, Grady, Kingfisher, Garfield, Major, and Garvin counties where we have approximately 3,401 net3,680 gross acres. We believe this acreage has significant additional resource potential that could supportThis agreement facilitates the drilling of as many as 49 new horizontals based on an estimate of six wells per section: three in108 horizontal laterals where the Mississippian and three in the Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate in future development, our share of the capital expenditurescompany would be approximately $34 million athave an average 10% ownership level; the Company will otherwise sell its rights for cash, or cash plus a royalty or working interest.

In 2019, in the Gulf Coast region of Texas, the Company participated with Unit Petroleum in the successful recompletion of two wells in the Wilcox Formation of the Jazz field in Polk County, Texas. The Company has a 2.8125%34.5% working interest and a 3.768% net revenue interestinvest approximately $236 million. We believe this agreement represents significant future value for PrimeEnergy.

In addition, we are in thesediscussions with Earthstone Energy, Inc. regarding the drilling of three wells and participated for approximately $45,000. Also in 2019,Reagan County, Texas, in which the Company successfully recompleted a shallow straight hole well in the Segno field of Polk County, Texas with a 72.5%would have 20% working interest.

In early August 2020, the Company closed on the sale of its West Virginia District operated assets. The sale includes 456 producing wells, along withinterest and would invest approximately 35,000 leasehold acres, one salt water disposal well, and operating equipment. The Company has retained an overriding royalty interest, up to 12.5%, in any future drilling of these properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2020 and 2019 Compared

We reported net income of $6.5 million, or $3.26 per share and $65 thousand or $0.03 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $1.25 per share and $5.2 million, or $2.61 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Current year net income reflects decreases in production combined with commodity price decreases over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, increases in gains related to the sale of acreage and changes related to the valuation of derivative instruments. The significant components of income and expense are discussed below.

Oil, gas and NGLs sales decreased $11.2 million, or 55.9% from $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $41.0 million, or 60.9% from $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the primary components of production volumes and average sales prices realized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (excluding realized gains and losses from derivatives).

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Derivatives We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our commodity based derivatives, thus changes in the fair market value of commodity contracts held at the end of a reported period, referred to as mark-to-market adjustments, are recognized as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As oil and natural gas prices remain volatile, mark-to-market accounting treatment creates volatility in our revenues.

Field service income decreased $2.3 million or 47.2% from $4.9 million for the third quarter 2019 to $2.6 million for the third quarter 2020 and $5.1 million, or 35.6% from $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is a combined result of decreased utilization and rates charged to customers as oil and gas prices declined during 2020. Workover rig services, hot oil treatments, saltwater hauling and disposal represent the bulk of our field service operations.

Lease operating expense decreased $4.4 million or 53.6% from $8.2 million for the third quarter 2019 to $3.8 million for the third quarter 2020, and decreased $8.1 million or 33.0% from $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily due to the shut-in of high lifting cost properties during 2020 combined with lower production taxes related to lower commodity prices.

Field service expense decreased $2.0 million or 50.3% from $4.0 million for the third quarter 2019 to $2.0 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $4.2 million, or 35.9% from $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Field service expenses primarily consist of salaries and vehicle operating expenses which have decreased during thein three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 over the same periods of 2019 related to decreased utilization of the equipment as oil and gas prices declined during 2020.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion on discounted liabilities increased $0.1 million, or 1.9% from $9.3 million for the third quarter 2019 to $9.4 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $3.3 million, or 9.9% from $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, reflecting the reduced production rates in the nine months of 2020.

General and administrative expense decreased $0.3 million, or 9.9% from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and increased $0.3 million, or 2.0% from $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This overall increase in 2020 is primarily due to increases in employee wages and benefits during the first quarter offset by staff reductions reflected in the third quarter decrease.

9,650 foot laterals.

Gain on sale and exchange of assets of $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consists of principally of sales of deep rights in undeveloped acreage in West Texas and marginal wells in West Virginia.

Interest expense decreased from $0.9 million for the third quarter 2019 to $0.5 million for the third quarter 2020 and from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease reflects the decrease in rates and current borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

Income tax expense or benefit for the September 30, 2020 and 2019 periods varied due to the change in net income or loss for those periods. The tax benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the benefits related to tax changes under the CARES Act.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations, through our producing oil and gas properties, field services business, and sales of acreage.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021, was $18.8 million, compared to $17.9 million.million in the first nine months of 2020. Excluding the effects of significant unforeseen expenses or other income, our cash flow from operations fluctuates primarily because of variations in oil and gas production and prices or changes in working capital accounts. Our oil and gas production will vary based on actual well performance but may be curtailed due to factors beyond our control.

Table of Contents
Our realized oil and gas prices vary due to world political events, supply and demand of products, product storage levels, and weather patterns. We sell the majority of our production at spot market prices. Accordingly, product price volatility will affect our cash flow from operations. To mitigate price volatility, we sometimes lock in prices for some portion of our production through the use of derivatives.

If our exploratory drilling results in significant new discoveries, we will have to expend additional capital to finance the completion, development, and potential additional opportunities generated by our success. We believe that, because of the additional reserves resulting from the successful wells and our record of reserve growth in recent years, we will be able to access sufficient additional capital through bank financing.

Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are key components of our business strategy. For 2020,2021, we will continue our focus on preserving financial flexibility and ample liquidity as we manage the risks facing our industry. Our 20202021 capital budget is reflective of commodity prices and has been established based on an expectation of available cash flows, with any cash flow deficiencies expected to be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we have done historically to preserve or enhance liquidity, we may adjust our capital program throughout the year, divest assets, or enter into strategic joint ventures. We are actively in discussions with financial partners for funding to develop our asset base and, if required, pay down our revolving credit facility should our borrowing base become limited due to the deterioration of commodity prices.

The Company maintains a Credit Agreement with a maturity date of February 15, 2021,2023, providing for a credit facility totaling $300 million, with a borrowing base of $48$40 million. As of November 25, 2020,At September 30, 2021, the Company has $40.0had $31.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $8.0$8.5 million in availability under this facility. The bank reviews the borrowing base semi-annually and, at their discretion, may decrease or propose an increase to the borrowing base relative to a
re-determined
estimate of proved oil and gas reserves. The current borrowing base review is in progress and expected to be set at $50 million. Our oil and gas properties are pledged as collateral for the line of credit and we are subject to certain financial and operational covenants defined in the agreement. We are currently in compliance with these covenants and expect to be in compliance over the next twelve months. If we do not comply with these covenants on a continuing basis, the lenders have the right to refuse to advance additional funds under the facility and/or declare all principal and interest immediately due and payable.

Our borrowing base may decrease as a result of lower natural gas or oil prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves, lending requirements or regulations, the issuance of new indebtedness or for other reasons set forth in our revolving credit agreement. In the event of a decrease in our borrowing base due to declines in commodity prices or otherwise, our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility may be limited and we could be required to repay any indebtedness in excess of the

re-determined
borrowing base.
Our credit agreement requiredrequires us to hedge a portion of our production as forecasted for the PDP reserves included in our borrowing base review engineering reports. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the Company has in place the following swap and put agreements for oil and natural gas.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

We have experienced significant disruptions to our business and operations. In particular, COVID-19 restrictions have limited access to our corporate offices and required our corporate personnel, including our legal and accounting staff.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans

During May 2020, Prime Operating Company and Eastern Oil Well Services Corporation, subsidiaries of the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1.28 million and $0.47 million , respectively, under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the CARES Act. The PPP Loans are evidenced by a promissory note in favor of the Lender, which bears interest at the rate of 1.00% per annum. No payments of principal or interest are due under the note until the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness (if any) under the CARES Act, which can be up to 10 months after the end of the related notes covered period (which is defined as 24 weeks after the date of the loan) (the “Deferral Period”). The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loans may be used only for payroll and related costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations that were incurred prior to February 15, 2020 (the “Qualifying Expenses”). Under the terms of the PPP Loans, certain amounts thereunder may be forgiven if they are used for Qualifying Expenses as described in and in compliance with the CARES Act. While the Company intends to use the PPP Loan proceeds exclusively for Qualifying Expenses, it is unclear and uncertain whether the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loans will be met under the current guidelines of the CARES Act. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurance that the Company will be eligible for forgiveness of the PPP Loans, in whole or in part. To the extent, if any, that any or all of the PPP loans are not forgiven, beginning one month following expiration of the Deferral Period, and continuing monthly until 24 months from the date of each applicable Note (the “Maturity Date”), the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest to the Lender with respect to any unforgiven portion of the Note, in such equal amounts required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on such Note as of the last day of the applicable Deferral Period by the applicable Maturity Date.

The Company’s activities include development and exploratory drilling. Our strategy is to develop a balanced portfolio of drilling prospects that includes lower risk wells with a high probability of success and higher risk wells with greater economic potential. In 2016, based upon the results of horizontal wells and historical vertical well performance, we decided to reduce the number of vertical wells in our drilling program and focus primarily on horizontal well drilling. We believe horizontal development of our resource base provides superior returns relative to vertical development, due to the ability of horizontals to come in contact with and drain from a greater volume of reservoir rock over more acreage, with less infrastructure, and thus at a lower cost of development per acre.

Since

Our primary focus is the startdevelopment of our West Texas horizontal drilling program in 2015 and through the third quarter of 2020 the Company has participated in 74 horizontal wellsleasehold acreage in the Permian Basin sevenof West Texas where the Company currently holds an acreage position of 19,680 gross (12,460 net) acres, the majority of which were drilledis in Reagan, Upton, Martin and Midland counties. We believe this acreage has significant resource potential in as many as 10 reservoirs, including benches of the Spraberry, Jo Mill, and Wolfcamp, and can support the potential drilling of more than 250 additional horizontal wells.
The Middle Wolfcamp was our primary target for production in the first half of 2020. Through July 2020,area until the Company has invested approximately $112 MM in our West Texas horizontal drilling program. Of the 74 totaldrilled three horizontal wells participatedwith Apache Corporation into the shallower reservoirs of the Wolfcamp “A”, the Jo Mill, and the Lower Spraberry, in 2019. These three test wells proved the productive capability of these reservoirs for the 1,280 acre Kashmir block in which we recently completed an additional nine wells. These nine wells were completed in the third quarter and all were on production by October 4
,
2021. We have an average of 24% working interest. In 2019, 1147.5% interest in these wells were brought on production:and expect a total investment net to the Company has 49% interest in eightof approximately $24 million.
The successful development of these wells, all one-mile in length, located on our CC-33 tract, and an average 48% interest in two horizontals and 5.3% interest in one additional horizontal, that are each two-miles in length, located onreservoirs has proven the Kashmir tract. The Company invested approximately $31.5 million in these 11 wells brought on production in 2019. Through the second quarter of 2020, the Company participated in seven new horizontal wells, all located in Upton County, Texas. Six of these are operated by Apache Corporation and one is operated by Pioneer Natural Resources. The Pioneer well was completed in late June and came on production in early July 2020. The six Apache operated wells are anticipated to be completed the end of February or beginning of March 2021.

In Upton County, West Texas, we are developing a contiguous 3,260-acre block with our joint venture partner, Apache Corporation. In this block the Company has 2,600 leasehold acres with interest between 14% and 56%, depending on the particular lease and depth being developed. In 2018, in this block, eight wells drilled horizontally in the Wolfcamp “B”, were participated in for 49% interest. This is believed to be full development of the Wolfcamp “B” reservoir for this lease block. Apache will likely now set its sights on development of the Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs for this block, following the recent successful testing in 2019productive potential of these reservoirs on our offset 1,300-acre lease block.

Here the favorable results achieved byCompany holds between 14% and 56% interest and is planning the drilling of an initial three wells onto be drilled in 2022. These three will each be three-mile-long laterals. The future development will likely be the offset block, it is expected that as many as 54 additional horizontals will be slated for development ondrilling of 48 horizontal wells targeting four reservoirs from the 3,260-acre block inWolfcamp “A” through the near future.Middle Spraberry. The cost of such development wouldwill be approximately $370.6$370 million with the Company’s share being approximately $170.8 million. In addition, there is a fourth target reservoir, the Middle Spraberry, that is also prospective for development. The potential of the Middle Spraberry, on the 3,280-acre block, is for 18 horizontal wells to be drilled, with the Company likely participating for approximately $61.8$146 million. The actual number of wells that are eventuallywill be drilled, as well as the cost, and the timing of drilling will vary based upon many factors, including commodity market conditions.

In additionReagan County, Texas, the Company holds 12,700 Gross (8.870 net) acres with exceptional potential. Offset operators have proven the productive capability of four reservoirs from the Middle Wolfcamp to the 3,260 acreage block under development,Lower Spraberry. Here the Company is also developing an offsetting 1,300-acre blockcould participate in Upton County, Texas with Apache Corporation as operator. In the second quarter of 2019 three horizontal wells were completed and brought on production from reservoirs above the Middle Wolfcamp: one in the Wolfcamp “A”, one in the Jo Mill, and one in the Lower Spraberry, confirming the economic viability of these reservoirs on our acreage. Prime holds between 5% and 48% working interest in various depths of this acreage, and of the $26.7 million development cost for these three wells, our share was approximately $9.2 million. As a result of the success of these three wells, six horizontals were drilled in the first half of 2020 on this acreage block. We have an average 47.76% share of these wells. In addition to the six development locations in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill and Lower Sprayberry of our 1,300-acre block, there are four locations in the Middle Spraberry that are likely to be considered for future development at an estimated gross cost of approximately $30.2 million,352 horizontals with the Company’s share being approximately $14.2 million. Also in the first half of 2020, the Company participated in a horizontal well for 8.36% interest operated by Pioneer Natural Resources that was completed and brought into production in July, 2020. Our total net expenditure for this well has been approximately $630,000.

Also in the Permian Basin of West Texas, we are developing a 965-acre block with Concho Resources in Martin County, Texas. In 2016 and 2017, four horizontal wells were drilled and completed and put on production. The Company owns 35% to 38% interest in this joint venture acreage where Concho Resources is the operator. No near-term additional drilling plans have been received from Concho Resources, however, offset operators have been actively drilling and their results are encouraging for the future development of multiple landing zones within this acreage block.

In Central Reagan County, of West Texas, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company has sold deep rights covering approximately 1,950 acres for a purchase price of $10.3 million to-date, with a final total compensation expected to be $10.7 million.

Since the start of our Oklahoma Scoop-Stack horizontal development program, which began in 2013, the Company has participated in 41 horizontal wells for approximately $23.5 million through 2019 with an average of approximately 7% interest. There have been no new wells participated in through the third quarter of 2020. During this same period the Company chose to retain an overriding royalty interest in an additional 69 horizontal wells. In 2019, the Company participated for an average 5.78% interest in 20 horizontal wells in Canadian, Grady, and Kingfisher counties for a net cost of approximately $8.8$890 million. All 20 wells were completedNear-term development plans being discussed include the drilling of three 12,500’ laterals on one acreage block with BTA Producers, Inc., and six horizontal laterals on a second acreage block with laterals from 7,500’ to 10,000’ in 2019, andlength with Hibernia Resources, LLC. The Company’s share of these 20 wells twelve are operated by Encana/Newfield. would average about 37.5% and cost approximately $35.2 million net.

In addition, the Company is also participating in four wells in Grady County, Oklahoma spud in 2018 that have not yet been completed. During 2019, in Oklahoma, the Company retained an overriding royalty interest in eighteen wells, nine of which were completed in 2019, and nine of which have yet to be completed. Through the third quarter of 2020, the Company has retained an interest in four wells located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, completed in February of this year.

OurCompany’s horizontal activity in Oklahoma is focused in Canadian, Grady, Kingfisher, Garfield, Major, and Garvin counties where we have approximately 3,401579 net acres.leasehold acres with exceptional development potential. We believe this acreage has significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 49 new horizontalshorizontal wells based on an estimate of sixfour wells per section: threetwo in the Mississippian and threetwo in the Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate in future development, our share of the capital expenditures would be approximately $34 million at an average 10% ownership, level;otherwise the Company will otherwise sell its rights for cash, or cash plus a royalty or working interest.

In early August 2020, the Company closed on the sale of its West Virginia District operated assets. The sale includes 456 producing wells, along with approximately 35,000 leasehold acres, one salt water disposal well, and operating equipment. The Company has retained an overriding royalty interest, up to 12.5%, in any future drilling of these properties.

The majority of our capital spending is discretionary, and the ultimate level of expenditures will be dependent on our assessment of the oil and gas business environment, the number and quality of oil and gas prospects available, the market for oilfield services, and oil and gas business opportunities in general.

The Company has in place both a stock repurchase program and a limited partnership interest repurchase program. Spending under these programs in 2020 was $1.452 million. The Company expects continued spending under these programs through 2021.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2021 and 2019 was $0.712020 Compared
We reported net income of $6.5 million, or $3.26 per share and $5.9$65 thousand or $0.03 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to net losses of $1.2 million, or $(0.58) per share and $5.0 million, or $(2.52) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. InCurrent year net loss reflects changes in production combined with commodity price increases over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreases in gains related to the sale of acreage and changes related to the valuation of derivative instruments. The significant components of income and expense are discussed below.
Oil, gas and NGLs sales
increased $9.2 million, or 103.9% to $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $19.8 million, or 75.2% to $46.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The following table summarizes the primary components of production volumes and average sales prices realized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (excluding realized gains and losses from derivatives).

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Derivatives
We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our commodity based derivatives, thus changes in the fair market value of commodity contracts held at the end of a reported period, referred to as
mark-to-market
adjustments, are recognized as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As oil and natural gas prices remain volatile,
mark-to-market
accounting treatment creates volatility in our revenues.
Field service income
increased $0.4 million or 15.9% to $3.0 million for the third quarter 2021 from $2.6 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $1.1 million, or 12.0% to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Workover rig services, hot oil treatments, saltwater hauling and disposal represent the bulk of our field service operations.
Lease operating expense
increased $3.4 million or 90.5% to $7.2 million for the third quarter 2021 to $3.8 million for the third quarter 2020, and increased $1.4 million or 8.8% to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to returning to production the high lifting cost properties
shut-in
during 2020 combined with higher production taxes related to higher commodity prices.
Field service expense
increased $1.4 million or 72.9% to $3.4 million for the third quarter 2021 from $2.0 million for the third quarter 2020 and increased $0.3 million, or 4.0% to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Field service expenses primarily consist of salaries and vehicle operating expenses which have increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 over the same periods of 2020 related to increased utilization of the equipment as oil and gas prices increased during 2021.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion on discounted liabilities
decreased $2.5 million, or 27.0% to $6.9 million for the third quarter 2021 from $9.4 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $4.5 million, or 18.5% to $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, reflecting the reduced capital base of the producing properties in 2021.
General and administrative expense
decreased $0.2 million, or 7.9% to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and decreased $5.4 million, or 42.0% to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This overall decrease in 2021 is primarily due to decreases in employee wages and benefits and by staff reductions in 2020.
Gain on sale and exchange of assets
of $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consists of principally of sales of deep rights in undeveloped acreage in West Texas and marginal wells in West Virginia. No such sales took place during 2021.
Interest expense
decreased to $0.46 million for the third quarter 2021 from $0.47 million for the third quarter 2020 and to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease reflects the decrease in current price environment,borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
Income tax expense or benefit
for the Company will suspend their stock repurchase program.

September 30, 2021 and 2020 periods varied due to the change in net income or loss for those periods.
