GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS
The following are abbreviations and definitions of certain terms used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry:


Bbl. One stock tank barrel of 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume used herein in reference to crude oil, condensate or NGLs.


Bbls/Bbl/d. BarrelsOne Bbl per day.


Boe. One barrel of oil equivalent, calculated by converting natural gas to oil equivalent barrels at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.


Boe/d. One Boe per day.


Btu. One British thermal unit, which is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water by one-degree Fahrenheit.


Completion. The process of preparing an oil and gas wellbore for production through the installation of permanent production equipment, as well as perforation and fracture stimulation to optimize production.


Development project. The means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.
Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or natural gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
Differential. An adjustment to the price of oil or natural gas from an established spot market price to reflect differences in the quality and/or location of oil or natural gas.

Dry well. A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production exceed production expenses and taxes.
Exploratory well. A well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or natural gas in another reservoir.
Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on, or related to, the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.


Flush production. First yield from a flowing oil well during its most productive period after it is first completed and put on line.


Formation. A layer of rock which has distinct characteristics that differs from nearby rock.


Horizontal drilling. A drilling technique used in certain formations where a well is drilled vertically to a certain depth and then drilled at a right angle within a specified interval.


LIBOR. London Interbank Offered Rate.

MBoe. One thousand Boe.


Mcf. One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.


Mcf/d. One Mcf per day.


MMBtu. One million British thermal units.



MMcf. One million cubic feet of natural gas.


NGL. Natural gas liquids. These are naturally occurring substances found in natural gas, including ethane, butane, isobutane, propane and natural gasoline, that can be collectively removed from produced natural gas, separated ininto these substances and sold.


NYMEX. The New York Mercantile Exchange.


Operator. The individual or company responsible for the development and/or production of an oil or natural gas well or lease.


Proved developed reserves. Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well.


Proved reserves. The estimated quantities of oil, NGLs and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.


Proved undeveloped reserves or PUD. Proved 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 completion or recompletion. 


Realized price. The cash market price less differentials.


Recompletion. The completion for production of an existing wellbore in another formation from that which the well has been previously completed.


Reserves. Estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project.


Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.


Royalty interest. An interest in an oil or gas property entitling the owner to shares of the production free of costs of exploration, development and production operations.


Spot market price. The cash market price without reduction for expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.


Wellbore. The hole drilled by a drill bit that is equipped for oil and natural gas production once the well has been completed. Also called well or borehole.


Working interest. The interest in an oil and gas property (typically a leasehold interest) that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operations on the property and to a share of production, subject to all royalties and other burdens and to all costs of exploration, development and operations and all risks in connection therewith.


Workover. Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.


WTI. West Texas Intermediate.


Intermediate is a grade of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project”“project,” “goal,” “plan,” “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management'smanagement’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Annual Report”) and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
our business strategy and future drilling plans; 
our reserves and our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions; 
our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs; 
our financial strategy, liquidity and capital required for our development program; 
our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices; 
the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs; 
our hedging strategy and results; 
our competition and government regulations; 
our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals; 
our pending legal or environmental matters; 
the marketing and transportation of our oil, natural gas and NGLs; 
our leasehold or business acquisitions; 
cost of developing our properties;
our anticipated rate of return;
general economic conditions; 
credit markets; 
uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and 
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical.
All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20172018 Annual Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be

achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.
All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Centennial Resource Development, Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the development of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. TheAll of the Company’s assets are concentrated exclusively in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin, and its properties consist primarily of large, contiguous acreage blocks primarily in Reeves County in West Texas and Lea County in New Mexico. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “Centennial” or the “Company” are to Centennial Resource Development, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Centennial Resource Production, LLC (“CRP”).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Annual Report”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 20172018 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary CRP, and CRP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling interest represents third-party ownership in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary,CRP, and it is presented as a component of equity. See Note 9—Shareholders' EquityAs of June 30, 2019 and Noncontrolling Interest for further discussionDecember 31, 2018, the noncontrolling interest ownership of noncontrolling interest.CRP was 4.3%.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established.
The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include: (i) oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets; (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (iv) asset retirement obligations; (v) determining fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations and asset acquisitions; (vi) accrued revenues and related receivables; (vii) accrued liabilities; (viii) valuation of derivative instruments;derivatives; and (ix) deferred income taxes.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to the Company’s year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various state jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year.generated. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained,historical trend data becomes available, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). Certain disclosure requirements under ASC Topic 820 were removed, modified or added in order to improve the effectiveness of the fair value note toincluded in the financial statement.statements. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update applies to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This update should be applied using the retrospective transition method. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018. As a result of adoption, there were no changes to the presentation of cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which created ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”), superseding current lease requirements under ASC Topic 840, Leases. Subsequently in 2018, the FASB issued various ASUs which provide a practical expedient for the evaluation of existing land easement agreements, optionality in the adoption transition method, and additional implementation guidance. ASC Topic 842 and its related amendments apply to any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions. Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee should recognize in the statement of financial positionits consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. While there were no major changes to the lessor accounting, changes were made to align key aspects with the revenue recognition guidance. ASC Topic 842 will bewas effective for public entities for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
The standard permits retrospective application using either of the following methodologies: (i) application of the new standard at the earliest presented period or (ii) application of the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to retained earnings. The Company will adopthas adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019, the effective date, and planselected to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment at the time of adoption. AlthoughThe Company has elected the Company is still in the processfollowing practical expedients that allows an entity to carry forward historical accounting treatment relating to (i) lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption and (ii) existing land easements. The adoption of evaluating the effect of adopting ASC Topic 842 and its related amendments, the adoption is expected to resultresulted in the recognition of Operating lease right-of-use assets and and Operating lease liabilities on its in the Company’s Consolidated Balance SheetSheets for currentexisting operating leases such asincluding drilling rig contracts, and office rental agreements. The Company is continuingagreements, and other wellhead equipment. This adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to evaluate existing arrangements to determine if they qualifyNote 12—Leases for lease accounting under ASC Topic 842.additional information.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which created ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), superseding revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition,
Note 2—Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and most industry-specific guidance. The FASB subsequently issued various ASUs which deferred the effective date of ASC Topic 606 and provided additional implementation guidance. ASC Topic 606 provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principleAccrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses are comprised of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. In addition, new qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements aim to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASC Topic 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits retrospective application using either of the following methodologies: (i) restatement of each prior reporting period presented or (ii) recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of initial application. The Company has selected the modified retrospective method and has adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018, the effective date. The Company has completed its review of the impact of the new standard on its significant contracts and concluded that there was not a material impact to the presentation of revenues or expenses as a result of the adoption of this standard.

Note 2—Property Acquisitions and Divestiture3—Long-Term Debt
Acquisition
On February 8, 2018,The following table provides information about the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 4,000 undeveloped net acres, as well as certain producing properties, in Lea County, New Mexico for an unadjusted purchase price of $94.7 million. The operated acreage position contains an approximate 92% average working interest and is largely contiguous to Centennial’s existing positions in the northern Delaware Basin. Upon signing the purchase and sale agreement, the Company placed $8.6 million of cash in escrow accounts on December 21, 2017, and such deposits were applied as a payment against the purchase price upon closing of the transactions. The Company presented the cash in escrow as restricted cash within the line item Other Noncurrent Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.
The acquisition was recorded as an asset acquisition under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Accordingly, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the oil and natural gas properties based on their relative fair values measuredCompany’s long-term debt as of the acquisition date. After settlement statement adjustments of $0.2 million, the Company paid a net purchase price of $94.5 million. On a relative fair value basis, $80.7 million was allocated to unproved properties and $13.8 million to proved properties. Transaction costs incurred and capitalized as of September 30, 2018, amounted to $0.2 million and mainly consisted of advisory and legal fees.
Disposition
On March 2, 2018, the Company completed the sale of approximately 8,600 undeveloped net acres and 12 gross producing wells located in Reeves County, Texas for a total unadjusted sales price of $140.7 million. The divested acreage represents a largely non-operated position (32% average working interest) on the western portion of Centennial’s position in Reeves County. There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of this divestiture, which constituted a partial sale of oil and gas properties in accordance with ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale to fund the 2018 acquisition discussed above and for general corporate purposes.

Note 4—Long-Term Debt
Credit Agreement
On May 4, 2018, CRP, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, had a borrowing base of $800.0 million$1.2 billion and elected commitments of $600.0$800.0 million. The credit agreement provides for a five-year secured revolving credit facility, maturing on May 4, 2023. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had $140.0 millionno borrowings outstanding and $459.1$799.2 million in available borrowing capacity, which was net of $0.9$0.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.
The amount available to be borrowed under the Company’s credit agreement is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, (ii) aggregate elected commitments, or (iii) $1.5 billion. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually each April 1in the spring and October 1fall by the lenders in their sole discretion. It also allows for two optional borrowing base redeterminations on January 1 and July 1. The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of CRP’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from these reserves, and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings exceed the revised borrowing capacity, CRP could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding under the credit agreement. In connection with the October 2018 semi-annualBorrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility redetermination,are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.
Borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility may be base rate loans or LIBOR loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for LIBOR loans. LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 125 to 225 basis points as of June 30, 2019, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base underutilized. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the revolving credit facility was increasedgreatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin, which ranged from $800.0 million25 to $1.0 billion and125 basis points as of June 30, 2019, depending on the lenders increased their aggregate elected commitments from $600.0 million to $800.0 million.
Interest and commitment fees are accrued based on apercentage of the borrowing base utilization grid set forthutilized. CRP also pays a commitment fee on unused amounts under its facility of a range of 37.5 to 50 basis points. The applicable margins for the LIBOR loans and base rate loans referenced above reflect interest rate reductions that became effective on April 26, 2019 and are applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio (as described below) is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. If CRP’s total leverage ratio exceeds 3.0 to 1.0 in the future, the original applicable margins under the credit agreement would revert to the range from 150 to 250 basis points for LIBOR loans and are discussed50 to 150 basis points for base rate loans, in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” later in this Quarterly Report. Commitment fees are accruedeach case depending on the unused portionpercentage of the aggregate lender commitment amount and are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The credit facility provides for interest only payments until May 4, 2023, when the credit agreement expires and all outstanding borrowings are due.borrowing base utilized.
CRP’s credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit its ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make or declare dividends; (v) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of the Company’s expected production; (vi) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (vii) incur liens; (viii) sell assets; and (ix) engage in transactions with affiliates.
CRP’s credit agreement also requires it to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of CRP’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under its revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the credit agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Funded Debt (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) for the rolling four fiscal quarter period ending on such day, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. CRP was in compliance with the covenants and the financial ratios described above as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and through the filing of this

Interest is payable on the 2026 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencingwhich commenced on July 15, 2018.
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CRP’s current subsidiaries that guarantee CRP’s revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company, nor is the Company subject to the terms of the indentureindentures governing the Senior Notes.
At any time prior to January 15, 2021 (for the 2026 Senior Notes) and April 1, 2022 (for the 2027 Senior Notes), the “Optional Redemption Dates,” CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of theeither series of Senior Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375% (for the 2026 Senior Notes) and 106.875% (for the 2027 Senior Notes) of the principal amount of the Senior Notes of the applicable series redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of Senior Notes issued under the indenture governing the Senior Notessuch series remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offering.
At any time prior to January 15, 2021,Optional Redemption Dates, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of redemption.

Note 5—4—Asset Retirement Obligations
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with our working interests in oil and gas properties for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 (in thousands):2019:

ARO reflect the present value of the estimated future costs associated with the plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage and land restoration in accordance with applicable local, state and federal laws. Inherent in the fair value calculation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate plug and abandonment settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates and timing of settlement. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding offsetting adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Changes in the liability due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense.
Note 6—5—Stock-Based Compensation
Long Term Incentive Plan
On October 7, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved the Centennial Resource Development, Inc. 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”).

The Company estimates the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the weighted average asset volatility of the Company and identified set of comparable companies. Expected term is based on the simplified method and is estimated as the mid-point between the weighted average vesting term and the time to expiration as of the grant date. The Company uses U.S. Treasury bond rates in effect at the grant date for its risk-free interest rates.

The total fair value of stock options that vested during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $3.7 million, and there were no awards vested duringstock options exercised for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, there was $13.5$8.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize on a pro-rata basis over a weighted average period of 1.61.4 years.
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants to certain executive officersDuring the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no significant performance stock units that are subject to market-based vesting criteria as well as a three-year service period. Vesting at the end of the three-year service period is subject to the condition that the Company’s stock price increases by a greater percentage, or decreases by a lesser percentage, than the average percentage increase or decrease, respectively, of the stock prices of a peer group of companies. The market-based conditions must be met in order for the stock awards to vest, and it is, therefore, possible that no shares could vest. However, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the performance stock units subject to market conditions regardless of whether it becomes probable that these conditions will be achieved or not and compensation expense is not reversed if vesting does not actually occur. 
The grant-date fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of our common stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the three-year vesting period. The following table summarizes the key assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of performance stock units awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

Note 7—6—Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and may use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk from time to time.
Commodity Derivative Contracts
Historically, prices received for crude oil and natural gas production have been volatile because of supply and demand factors, worldwide political factors, general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns. The Company may periodically usesuse derivative instruments, such as swaps, costless collars and basis swaps, to mitigate its exposure to declines in commodity prices and to the corresponding negative impacts such declines can have on its cash flow from operations, returns on capital and other financial results. While the use of these instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price changes, their use may also limit future revenues from favorable price changes. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
Commodity Swap Contracts. The Company may opportunistically usesuse commodity derivative instruments known as fixed price swaps to realize a known price for a specific volume of production as well as basis swaps to hedge the difference between the index price and a local index price. All transactions are settled in cash with one party paying the other for the resulting difference in price multiplied by the contract volume.

Derivative Instrument Reporting. The Company’s oil and natural gas derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, all gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, other than derivative instruments that meet the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, and any fair value gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s commodity derivatives are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as derivative assets and liabilities. The Company nets its financial derivative instrument fair value amounts executed with the same counterparty pursuant to ISDA master netting agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. The table below summarizes the fair value amounts and the classification in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company’s derivative contracts outstanding at the respective balance sheet dates.

The Company has agreements in place with all of its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and derivative liabilities at settlement or in the event of a default under the agreements or contract termination.
Contingent Features in Financial Derivative Instruments. None of the Company’s derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features. Counterparties to the Company’s financial derivative contracts are high credit-quality financial institutions that are lenders under CRP’s credit agreement. The Company uses only credit agreement participants to hedge with, since these institutions are secured equally with the holders of any CRP bank debt, which eliminates the potential need to post collateral when the CompanyCentennial is in a derivative liability position. As a result, the Company is not required to post letters of credit or corporate guarantees for its derivative counterparties in order to secure contract performance obligations.
In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with its derivative contracts from non-performance by its counterparties. The Company mitigates its exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with a number of financial institutions, each of which has a high credit rating and is a lendermember under CRP’s credit facility as referenced above.

Note 8—7—Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:


Level 1:  Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:  Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3:  Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.


The following table presents, the Company’s netted asset or liability positions that have been measured at fair value and where they have been classifiedfor each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2018our net derivative assets and December 31, 2017:liabilities, including both current and noncurrent portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company has agreements in place with all of its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and derivative liabilities at settlement or in the event of a default under the agreements or contract termination.
Both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the above fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between any of the fair value levels during any period presented.

Derivatives
The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of oil and natural gas commodity derivatives. The Company uses industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, implied market volatility, time value, nonperformance risk, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be supported by observable data. The Company utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its own valuations. Refer to Note 6—Derivative Instruments for details of the gross and net derivatives assets, liabilities and offset amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on a nonrecurring basis on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation of acquired oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; (v) future cash flows; and (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation. Refer to Note 2—Property Acquisitions and Divestiture for additional information on the fair value of assets acquired.
The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of ARO include plugging costs and reserve lives. Refer to Note 5—4—Asset Retirement Obligations for additional information on the Company’s ARO.

Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.
The Company’s Senior Notes and borrowings under its credit agreement are recorded at cost. The following table summarizes the fair values and carrying values of the amounts outstanding under CRP’s credit agreement, if any, approximate fair value because its variable interest rates are tied to current market rates and the applicable credit spreads represent current market rates for the credit risk profilethese instruments as of the Company. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $399.0 million and $407.5 million, respectively, which were determined using quoted market prices for this same debt security, a Level 1 classification in the fair value hierarchy.2018:

Note 9—Shareholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interest
Shareholders’ Equity
On March 7, 2018, Silver Run Sponsor, LLC (“Silver Run Sponsor”), the Riverstone Purchasers and the Centennial Contributors completed an underwritten public offering of 25,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with this offering and 3,347,647 shares of CRP Common Units (and corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock) were converted to shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. A tax benefit of $6.7 million was recorded in equity as a result of the conversion of shares from the noncontrolling interest owner.
Noncontrolling Interest
The noncontrolling interest relates to CRP Common Units that were originally issued to the Centennial Contributors in connection with the Business Combination and continue to be held by holders other than the Company. At the date of the Business Combination, the noncontrolling interest represented 10.9% of the ownership in CRP. The noncontrolling interest percentage is affected by various equity transactions such as CRP Common Unit and Class C Common Stock exchanges and Class A Common Stock activities.
As of September 30, 2018, the noncontrolling interest ownership of CRP decreased to 4.3% from 5.7% as of December 31, 2017. The decrease was mainly the result of the exchange of CRP Common Units (and corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock) for Class A Common Stock.
The Company consolidates the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of CRP and reflects that portion retained by other holders of CRP Common Units as a noncontrolling interest. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for a summary of the activity attributable to the noncontrolling interest during the period.

Note 10—8—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to Class A Common Stock by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to Class A Common Stock by the weighted average shares of diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculation consists of (i) unvested restricted stock and performance stock units, outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, and (ii) the Company’s Class C Common Stock using the “if-converted” method, which is net of tax.
The two-class method of computing earnings per share is required for entities that have participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for participating When a loss from continuing operations exists, all dilutive securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Shares of the Company’s unvested restricted stock and performance stock unitspotentially dilutive securities are eligible to receive dividends; however, dividend rights will be forfeited if the award does not vest. Accordingly, these shares are not considered participating securities. Shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock and warrants do not share in earnings or lossesanti-dilutive and are therefore not participating securities. The Company’s sharesexcluded from the computation of Series B Preferred Stock had a non-forfeitable right to participate in distributions with common stockholders on a pro-rata, as-converted basis. All of Company’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on May 25, 2017 in accordance with their terms. As such, the Company no longer has any participating securities as of September 30, 2018 and 2017.diluted earnings per share.

Commitments
In 2018, the Company entered into various natural gas transportation agreements whereby it is required to deliver approximately 491 million MMBtu, in aggregate, over a term ranging from one to four years or else pay for any volume deficiencies. These delivery commitments are tied to the Company’s natural gas production, and the aggregate financial obligation under these contracts is $38.4 million, representing the minimum commitments pursuant to the terms of these agreements as of September 30, 2018. Actual expenditures under these contracts may exceed this minimum commitment amount. The following table summarizes the natural gas volumes the Company is required to deliver by period under these agreements as well as its existing natural gas transportation agreements:

In May 2018, the Company entered into a three-year supply agreement to purchase frac sand from an in-basin sand mine in West Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to purchase a minimum volume of sand at a fixed sales price. The aggregate financial obligation under this contract is $23.8 million, which represents the minimum commitments pursuant to the terms of the agreement as of September 30, 2018. Actual expenditures under this contract may exceed this minimum commitment amount.

Delivery Commitments
In August 2018, the Company entered into two firm crude oil sales agreements with large integrated oil companies. Utilizing these companies’ existing transport capacity out of the Permian Basin, the agreements provide for firm gross sales ranging from approximately 40,000 to 105,000 Bbls/d in aggregate over the next six years. These amounts represent the total gross volumes the Company is required to deliver per the agreements, which are not comparable to the Company’s net production presented in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation as amounts therein are reflected net of all royalties, overriding royalties and production due to others. These sales agreements require the Company to physically deliver the aforementioned volumes of crude oil over the contractual terms of the agreements. The Company believes its current production and reserves are sufficient to fulfill these delivery commitments, but if the physical delivery commitments are not met, a financial obligation may arise. However, the aggregate amount of any such potential financial obligation under these contracts is not determinable since the amount and timing of any volumetric shortfalls, as well as the difference between the prevailing market price and contract price at such time, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
The Company routinely enters into or extends operating agreements, office and equipment leases, drilling and completion rig contracts, among others, in the ordinary course of business. Other than those discussed above, there haveThere has been no material, non-routine changes in commitments during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. Please refer to Note 13—14—Commitments and Contingencies included in Part II, Item 8 in the Company’s 20172018 Annual Report.
Contingencies
The Company may at times be subject to various commercial or regulatory claims, litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters that are reasonably possible to occur will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Management is unaware of any pending litigation brought against the Company requiring a contingent liability to be recognized as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.
Note 13—11—Revenues
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Sales of crudeCrude oil, and natural gas and NGL sales are recognized at the point that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Virtually all of the Company’s contract pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, transportation costs to an active spot market and quality differentials. As a result, the Company’s realized price of oil, natural gas, and NGLs fluctuates to remain competitive with other available oil, natural gas, and NGLs supplies both globally (in the case of crude oil) and locally.

Oil sales
The Company’s crude oil sales contracts are generally structured whereby oil is delivered to the purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes custody, title and risk of loss of the product. This delivery point is usually at the wellhead or at the inlet of a transportation pipeline. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the net price received from the purchaser. Any downstream transportation costs incurred by crude purchasers are reflected as a net reduction to oil sales revenues.
Natural gas and NGL sales
Under certain natural gas processing contracts, liquids rich natural gas is delivered to a midstream processing entity at the inlet of the gas plant processing system. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to Centennial for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. For these contracts, the Company evaluates when control is transferred and revenue should be recognized. Where the Company has concluded that control transfers at the tailgate of the processing facility, fees incurred prior to transfer of control are presented as gathering, processing and transportation expenses (“GP&T”) within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, rather than as a net reduction to natural gas and NGL sales.
In the Company’s other natural gas processing agreements, it has the election to take its residue gas ‘in-kind’“in-kind” at the tailgate of the midstream processing plant and then subsequently market the product. For these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to purchasers at delivery points downstream of the processing plant. The gathering, processing and compression fees are presented as GP&T, and any transportation and fractionation costs incurred subsequent to the point of transfer of control are reflected as a net reduction to natural gas and NGL sales revenues presented in the table above.
Performance obligations
For all commodity products, the Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. Settlement statements for certain natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production volumes are delivered and for crude oil, generally within 30 days after delivery has occurred. However, payment is unconditional once the performance obligations have been satisfied. At this time, the volume and price can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in accounts receivable,Accounts Receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, such receivable balances were $68.1$68.7 million and $52.9$67.0 million, respectively.
The Company records any differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, any identified differences between revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant. For both the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods waswere not material.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, monthly sales of a product generally represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future commodity volumes to be delivered and sold are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to such unsatisfied performance obligations is not required.

Note 14—Subsequent Events12—Leases
Credit Facility Amendment
InAt contract inception, the Company determines whether or not an arrangement contains a lease. However, in connection with the October 2018 semi-annual credit facility redetermination,implementation of ASC 842, this assessment was made as of the adoption date. Upon determination of a lease, a lease right-of-use (ROU) asset and related liability are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make future lease payments arising from the lease.
Currently, the Company has operating leases for drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements, and other wellhead equipment. As of June 30, 2019, these leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one month to three years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years, and some of which include options to early terminate. These options are considered in determining the lease term and are included in the present value of future payments that are recorded for leases when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, none of the Company’s lease agreements contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The present value of future lease payments is determined at the lease commencement date based upon the Company’s incremental borrowing baserate. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for the Company’s specific risk. The table below summarizes our discount rate and remaining lease term as of the period presented.
As of June 30, 2019
Weighted-average discount rate4.45%
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)1.26

The Company’s drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements, and wellhead equipment contain both lease and non-lease components, which are combined and accounted for as a single lease component.
Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Expenses related to short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following table presents the components of the Company’s lease expenses for the periods presented.

Overview
Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (the “Company,” “Centennial,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the development of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Our assets are concentrated entirely in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin. Our capital programs are specifically focused on projects that we believe provide the greatest potential for repeatable success and return on capital.
Market Conditions
The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical, and commodity prices can be volatile. During 2015 and 2016, global and domestic oil supply continued to outpace demand resulting in ongoing low realized oil and gas prices. In 2017 and thus far into 2018, commodity prices have improved yet remain volatile, and itIt is likely that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate due to global supply and demand, inventory supply levels, weather conditions, geopolitical events and other factors. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2018, WTI spot prices for crude oil significantly declined to a low of $44.48 per barrel, reached a high of $66.30 per barrel in the second quarter of 2019, but the average price remained below $60 per barrel during the first half of 2019.
The following table highlights the quarterly average NYMEX price trends for crude oil and natural gas since the first quarter of 2016:2017:

Although oil and natural gas prices have begun to recover from the lows experienced during the first quarter of 2016, forecast prices for both oil and natural gas have not rebounded to pre-2015 levels. A sustained drop in oil, natural gas and NGL prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis but may also reduce the amount of oil, natural gas and NGLs that we can produce economically and therefore potentially lower our oil, natural gas and NGL reserve quantities.
Lower commodity prices (including our realized differentials) in the future could result in impairments of our proved oil and natural gas properties or undeveloped acreage and may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, operating cash flows, liquidity or ability to finance planned capital expenditures. Lower realized prices may also reduce the borrowing base under CRP’s credit agreement, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders and is based on the collateral value of our proved reserves that have been mortgaged to the lenders. Upon a redetermination, if any borrowings in excess of the revised borrowing capacity were outstanding, we could be forced to immediately repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the credit agreement.
20182019 Highlights and Future Considerations
Operational Highlights
We operated on average, a seven-rigsix-rig drilling program during the first nine monthshalf of 20182019 which enabled us to complete and bring online 2240 gross operated wells in the third quarter and 58 gross operated wells year to date.wells. The total number of completed wells during the yearfirst half of 2019 had an average effective lateral length of approximately 7,5007,900 feet.
Acquisition and Divestiture Highlights
On February 8, 2018, we completed the acquisition of approximately 4,000 undeveloped net acres, as well as certain producing properties, in the core of the Northern Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico for an unadjusted purchase price of $94.7 million. The operated acreage position contains a 92% average working interest and is largely contiguous to Centennial’s existing position.

On March 2, 2018, we completed the sale of approximately 8,600 undeveloped net acres and 12 gross producing wells located in Reeves County, Texas for a total unadjusted sales price of $140.7 million. The divested acreage represents a largely non-operated position (32% average working interest) on the western portion of Centennial’s acreage in Reeves County. The properties divested consisted of 1,987 MBoe of proved reserves as of December 31, 2017, representing approximately 1% of our proved reserves as of that date, and generated 769 Boe/d (608 Bbls/d) in the first quarter of 2018.
Financing Highlights
On May 4, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, the majority of which were lenders to the Company’s existing credit agreement. Under the Amended Agreement, the borrowing base increased from $575.0 million to $800.0 million and aggregate elected commitments increased from $475.0 million to $600.0 million. The Amended Agreement also provided for lower rates and fees compared to the existing credit agreement, with varying rates depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized, as follows: the LIBOR margin decreased from the range of 225 to 325 basis points to 150 to 250 basis points; the alternate base rate margin decreased from the range of 125 to 225 basis points to 50 to 150 basis points; and the commitment fees, which are paid on unused amounts of the revolving credit facility, were reduced from 50 basis points to a range of 37.5 to 50 basis points. The credit facility under the Amended Agreement has a term of five years.
In connection with the October 2018spring 2019 semi-annual credit facility semi-annual redetermination, the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was increased from $800.0 million to $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, but the amount of elected commitments remained at $800.0 million. In addition, CRP and the lenders increased their aggregate elected commitments from $600.0 millionamended the credit agreement to $800.0 million.




reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for the LIBOR loans to a range of 125 to 225 basis points and to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for base rate loans to 25 to 125 basis points, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. These reductions in the applicable margins became effective in April 2019 and remain applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0; otherwise, the original applicable margins would be applied.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 were $123.3$26.5 million (or 110%12%) higher than total net revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
Net production volumes for oil, natural gas and NGLs increased 71%38%, 66%31% and 153%19%, respectively, between periods. The oil volume increase resulted primarily from our drilling successactivities in the Delaware Basin. Since the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2018, we placed 84 gross

gross operated wells were placed on production in the Delaware Basin, which added 2,2632,320 MBbls of net oil production duringto the thirdsecond quarter of 2018. The increase in the Company’s operated well count is attributable to the continued ramp up of development drilling activities and our seven-rig drilling program during 2018.2019. These oil volume increases were partially offset by normal field production declines across our existing wells. Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, resulting in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold. During the third quarter of 2018,As a result, our production was made up of 43% natural gas production increased 31% and NGL volumes compared to 39% in the third quarter of 2017. This change in our commodity mix was due to the significant increase in NGL volumes (up 153%) between periods, which was primarily a result of the main processor of our wet gas switching from ethane-rejection to ethane-recovery. This switch enabled us to recover anproduction increased amount of ethane from our wet gas. The change to recover a higher portion of ethane started in19% during the second quarter of 2018 and was made due2019 compared to lower natural gas prices in the Permian Basin and higher ethane prices, which in turn led to stronger ethane processing economics.same prior year period.
In addition to production-relatedThe increases in net revenueproduction volumes between periods there were also significant increases in ourpartially offset by lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 compared to the same 20172018 period. The average price for oil before the effects of hedging increased 24%decreased 11%, the average price for natural gas before effects of hedging decreased 55% and the average price for NGLs also increased 24%decreased 39% between periods. The 24% increase11% decrease in the average realized oil price was amainly the result of higherlower NYMEX crude prices between periods (average NYMEX prices increased 44%decreased 12%), which were partially offset by lower realizationsimproved oil differentials (a decrease of $1.68 per Bbl) in the second quarter of 2019. The average realized sales price of natural gas between periods decreased 55% due to lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods (average NYMEX prices decreased 12%) and wider oilgas differentials (an increase of $10.60$0.66 per Bbl)Mcf). The continued widening of natural gas price differentials was due to pipeline takeaway capacity constraints impacting the Permian Basin, which has in turn depressed natural gas prices in West Texas. New pipelines are planned to be placed into service beginning in the third quartersecond half of 2018.2019 continuing through 2021, which are expected to provide relief from these wider gas differentials. The 24% increaseoverall 39% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to higherlower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products in the thirdsecond quarter 20182019 as compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2017. Conversely, the average realized sales price of natural gas decreased by 33% from third quarter 2017 to third quarter 2018. This decrease was due to significantly wider gas differentials (an increase of $0.87 per Mcf) and average NYMEX prices that were 1% lower between periods. Both our oil and gas differentials widened during the third quarter 2018 due to anticipated pipeline takeaway capacity constraints impacting the Permian Basin.

Lease Operating Expenses.  Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 increased $12.3$15.7 million compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Higher LOE for the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 was primarily related to an $11.4a $9.6 million increase in expense associated with our higher well count. We had 240302 gross operated horizontal wells as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 as compared to 171217 gross operated horizontal wells as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The net increase in well count was mainly the result ofdue to our successful drilling activity adding 84 gross operated wells since the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2018, which was partially offset by divestiture activity.further adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, workover activityexpense increased $0.9$6.1 million between periods and impacted LOE by this same amount, as a result of our higher well count.count and related higher workover activity.
LOE on a per Boe basis increased when comparing the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 to the same 20172018 period. LOE per Boe was $4.09$5.04 for the thirdsecond quarter of 2018,2019, which represents an increase of $0.53$1.38 per Boe from the thirdsecond quarter of 2017.2018. This increase in rate was mainly due to our higher level of workover activity discussed above, as well as (i) higher costs associated with water handlingwellhead equipment due to increased monthly rental charges, (ii) increased wellhead chemical and equipment rentals for our existinggas mitigation expenses, and newly completed wells.(iii) higher field labor costs due to an increase in field employees from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $3.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Severance taxes are primarily based on the market value of production at the wellhead, andwhile ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our proved developed oil and natural gas reserves and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $7.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to higher oil, natural gas and NGL revenues between periods. Ad valorem taxes increased $0.9 million between periods as a result of our higher well count and higher oil and gas property values. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues was consistent at 6%increased to 7.0% for both the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 as compared to 6.5% for the same period in 2018 due to increased ad valorem taxes of $1.4 million between periods, associated with our higher well count and 2017.higher oil and gas reserve values.
Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased on a per Boe basis to $2.48 for the second quarter of 2019 from $2.71 for the second quarter of 2018. This 8% decrease in rate is due to lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs between periods.

Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (“GP&T”) for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 increased $6.2$0.9 million as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 due to higher natural gas and NGL volumes sold between periods, which in turn resulted in a higher amount of plant processing fees andcosts, transportation tariffs and gathering costsfees being incurred.
On a per Boe basis, GP&T decreased 11%20% from $3.11$2.92 for the thirdsecond quarter of 20172018 to $2.78$2.34 per Boe for the thirdsecond quarter of 2018.2019. On a natural gas and NGL volumes basis (i.e. excluding crude oil barrels) the Boe rate likewise decreased 18% between periods to $5.41 from $7.93 to $6.50$6.40 for the third quarters of 2017three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This decrease was attributable to the following factors: (i) lower natural gas prices between periods, due to residue gas being a primary cost component of gasour plant processing fees.fees; and (ii) $2.9 million in reimbursements received from third parties for their usage of our firm transportation capacity in the second quarter of 2019. The agreement that enables us to receive these third party reimbursements extends through March of 2020; such reimbursements, however, may not necessarily be recurring in these similar amounts.

Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs, acquisitions, impairments, as well as changes in proved reserves or proved developed reserves. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, DD&A expense amounted to $83.4$112.1 million, an increase of $41.0$37.2 million over the same 20172018 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A in 20182019 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which added $34.4$24.5 million of incremental DD&A expense to the thirdsecond quarter of 2018,2019, while higher DD&A rates between periods contributed an additional $6.6$12.7 million of DD&A expense to the thirdsecond quarter of 2018.2019.
DD&A per Boe was $14.41$16.18 for the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 compared to $13.28$14.32 for the same period in 2017.2018. The primary factorfactors contributing to this higher DD&A rate was increased drillingwere (i) revisions to proved reserves subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, and completion(ii) a higher level of infrastructure costs incurred for new wells completed and placed on production over the past 12 months.(having no associated proved reserve adds).
Impairment and Abandonment Expenses. Expense.

Income Tax Expense. DuringWe recognized income tax expense of $5.9 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017, the Company recognized income tax expense amounting to $11.7 million and $8.2 million,2018, respectively. The increasedecrease in income tax expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 was primarily due to an increase inlower pre-tax book income before taxes of $28.8$62.5 million from the third quarter of 2017 to the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 which was partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate between periods. The enactment ofto the Jobs Act in December 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21%, which had the effect of lowering our overall effective income tax rate from 33.6% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2017 to 21.9% for the same 2018 period.2019.
The Company'sCompany’s provision for income taxes for the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 differed from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% to pre-tax book income because of state income taxes and permanent differences.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 were $404.8$25.1 million, or 153%6%, higher than total net revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
Net production volumes for oil, natural gas and NGLs increased 101%33%, 93%24% and 178%44%, respectively, between periods. The oil volume increase resulted primarily from our drilling success in the Delaware Basin, as well as the producing properties acquired in the GMT Acquisition, which added 229 MBbls of net oil production to our nine months ended September 30, 2018

results.Basin. Since the thirdsecond quarter 2017,2018, 84 gross operated wells were placed on production in the Delaware Basin, which added 5,2704,177 MBbls of net oil production duringto the first ninesix months of 2018. The increase in the Company’s operated well count is attributable to the continued ramp up of development drilling activities and our seven-rig drilling program during 2018.2019. These oil volume increases were partially offset by normal field production declines across our existing wells.

Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, resulting in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold. DuringHowever, during the nine months ended September 30,second quarter of 2018, our production was made up of 43% natural gas and NGL volumes compared to 41% in the same 2017 period. This change in our commodity mix was due to the significant increase in NGL volumes (up 178%) between periods, which was primarily a result of the main processor of our wet gas switchingswitched from ethane-rejection to ethane-recovery.ethane-recovery due to lower gas prices in the Permian Basin and higher ethane prices, which led to stronger ethane processing economics. This switch enabled us to recover an increased amount of ethane from our wet gas. gas resulting in a significant increase in NGL volumes between periods (up 44%) compared to a 24% increase in natural gas volumes between periods.
The change to recover a higher portion of ethane started in the second quarter of 2018 and was made due to lower gas prices in the Permian Basin and higher ethane prices, which in turn led to stronger ethane processing economics.
In addition to production-relatedabove increases in net revenueproduction volumes between periods there were also significant increases in ourpartially offset by lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs when comparingin the nine months ended September 30, 2018first half of 2019 compared to the same 20172018 period. The average price for oil before the effects of hedging increased 30%decreased 16%, the average price for natural gas before the effects of hedging decreased 49% and the average price for NGLs increased 23%decreased 36% between periods. The 30% increase16% decrease in the average realized oil price was primarily the result of higherlower NYMEX crude prices between periods (average NYMEX oil prices increased 35%decreased 12%), which were partially offset by lower realizations due to and wider oil differentials (an increase of $3.80$1.67 per Bbl) in the first nine monthshalf of 2018.2019. Similarly, the 49% decrease in the average realized sales price of natural gas between periods was due to lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods (average NYMEX prices decreased 9%) and wider gas differentials (an increase of $0.76 per Mcf). The overall 23% increase36% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to higherlower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products. Conversely, the average realized sales price of natural gas decreased by 27% between periods. This decrease was mainly due to significantly wider gas differentials (an increase of $0.66 per Mcf) and average NYMEX prices that were 3% lower between periods. Both our oil and gas differentials widened during the nine months ended September 30,first half of 2019 as compared to the first half of 2018 due to anticipated pipeline takeaway capacity constraints impacting the Permian Basin. New pipelines are planned to be placed into service beginning in the second half of 2019 continuing through 2021, which are expected to provide relief from these wider oil and gas differentials.

Lease Operating Expenses. LOE for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 increased $32.2$29.3 million as compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Higher LOE for the first nine monthshalf of 20182019 was primarily related to a $30.6$16.2 million increase in expense associated with our higher well count.count, as well as increased water production which resulted in higher water disposal costs. We had 240302 gross operated horizontal wells as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to 171217 gross operated horizontal wells as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The net increase in well count was mainly the result of our successful drilling activity adding 84 gross operated wells since the thirdsecond quarter of 2017, which2018, was partially offset by divestiture activity.further adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, workover activity increased $1.6$13.1 million between periods as a result of our higher well count.count and related higher workover activity.
LOE on a per Boe basis increased when comparing the first nine monthshalf of 20182019 to the same 20172018 period. LOE per Boe was $3.72$4.83 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, which represents an increase of $0.16$1.32 per Boe from the comparable 20172018 period. This increase in rate was mainly due to our higher level of workover activity discussed above, as well as (i) higher costs associated with water handlingwellhead equipment due to increased monthly rental charges, (ii) increased wellhead chemicals and equipment rentals for our existinggas mitigation expenses, and newly completed wells.(iii) higher field labor costs due to an increase in field employees from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $4.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Severance taxes are primarily based on the market value of our production at the wellhead, andwhile ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our proved developed oil and natural gas properties and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $21.9 million compared to the same 2017 period primarily due to higher oil, natural gas and NGL revenues between periods. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 6.4%7.2% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 as compared to 5.4%6.6% in 20172018 due to increased ad valorem taxes of $6.5$3.2 million between periods, associated with our higher well count and higher oil and gas propertyreserve values.
Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased on a per Boe basis to $2.48 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.81 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This 12% decrease in rate is due to lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs between periods.

Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. GP&T for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 increased $22.6$2.1 million compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 due to higher natural gas and NGL volumes sold between periods, which in turn resulted in a higher amount of plant processing fees andcosts, transportation tariffs and gathering costsfees being incurred.
On a per Boe basis, GP&T decreased 5%19% from $2.99 for$2.88 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017first half of 2018 to $2.85$2.33 per Boe for the compared 2018same 2019 period. On a natural gas and NGL volume basis (i.e. excluding crude oil barrels) the Boe rate likewise decreased 10% between periods to $6.56$5.35 from $7.32$6.60 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. This decrease was attributable to the following factors: (i) lower natural gas prices between periods, due to residue gas being a primary cost component of gas processing fees, as well as lower rates onfees; and (ii) $10.4 million in reimbursements received from third parties for their usage of our primary gas contract from processing rebates we received for new wells connectedfirm transportation capacity in the first half of 2019. The agreement that enables us to the plant.receive these third party reimbursements extends through March of 2020; such reimbursements, however, may not necessarily be recurring in these similar amounts.

The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A in 20182019 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which added $113.1$46.4 million of incremental DD&A expense during the first ninesix months of 2018,2019, while higher DD&A rates between periods contributed an additional $8.4$21.3 million of DD&A expense to the first ninesix months of 2018.2019.
DD&A per Boe was $14.12$15.56 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018first half of 2019 compared to $13.61$13.95 for the same period in 2017.2018. The primary factorfactors contributing to this higher DD&A rate was increased drillingwere (i) revisions to proved reserves subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, and completion(ii) a higher level of infrastructure costs incurred for new wells completed and placed on production over the past 12 months.(having no associated proved reserve adds).
Impairment and Abandonment Expenses. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, $35.7 million of abandonment expense was incurred related to undeveloped leasehold acreage. Of this amount, $19.1 million was incurred with respect to non-core acreage that expired during the first half of 2019 after efforts to extend, sell or trade these leases were unsuccessful, and $16.6 million was identified as impaired acreage based on impairment indicators that arose during the period, following an acreage sale that was initiated in the first quarter of 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, $10.4$1.8 million of abandonment expense was incurred related to undeveloped leasehold acreage that expired during the period.

Exploration expense mainly consists of topographical studies, G&G projects, and salaries and expenses of G&G personnel. The period over period increase in exploration expense was primarily due to increasedan increase in G&G personnel expenses of $1.7 million during the first half of 2019 due to the average number of geologists increasing between periods. This increase was partially offset by lower costs incurred on G&G projects and seismic studies of $3.3 million.between periods and no exploratory dry hole costs incurred during 2019.

The increasedecrease in income tax expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 as compared to the same period in 20172018 was primarily due to an increasea decrease in pre-tax income before taxes of $163.2 million between periods and the release of $5.1 million of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the first half of 2017, which was partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate in 2018. The enactment of the Jobs Act in December 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate to 21%, which had the effect of lowering our overall effective income tax rate to 22.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.periods.
The Company's provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018first half of 2019 differed from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income because of state income taxes and permanent differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our drilling and completion and land acquisition activities require us to make significant operating and capital expenditures. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility, cash flowsand proceeds from operations, and offerings of debt and equity securities. To date, our primary use of capital has been for thedrilling and development capital expenditures and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties.
The following table summarizes our capital expenditures (“capex”) incurred for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018:2019:

Facilities, infrastructure and other includes $97.9 million of well-level facility costs. In previous years, these costs were presented within drilling and completion capital expenditures. This presentation change was made to conform our drilling and completion capital expenditures to that of our peer group and to also present our costs incurred consistently with our 2018 capital expenditure guidance.
We continually evaluate our capital needs and compare them to our capital resources. Our estimated capital expenditurecapex budget for 20182019 is $885$765 million to $1,050$925 million, of which $710$625 million to $820$725 million is allocated to drilling and completion (“D&C”) activity. We expect to fund our capital expenditurecapex budget with cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. The D&C portion of our 20182019 capital budget represents an increase over the $624.1a decrease relative to $766.1 million of D&C expenditures we incurred during 2017.2018. This increased 2018decreased capital budget is driven by an increasea shift in our rig activity from seven to six to seven rigs and the associated increasedecrease in wells to be drilled in 2018 versus 2017, and the increase in the number of extended lateral wells to be drilled which require more capital than shorter laterals.development capex associated with running a six-rig drilling program.
Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our acreage, we can control the amount and timing of these capital expenditures. We could choose to defer a portion of thesethis planned capital expenditurescapex depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to,to: the success of our drilling activities; prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas; the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital; the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals; seasonal conditions; drilling and acquisition costs; and the level of participation by other working interest owners.
Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations for the remainder of 2018,2019, we believe that our cash flowflows from operations, proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes and borrowings under our credit facility or otherwise will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute our current capital program. However, our future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the future level of oil and natural gas production and prices, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. We cannot ensure that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event we make additional acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce theour expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional sources for funding capital investments. As we pursue our future development program, we are actively assessing the correct mix of reserve-based borrowings and debt offerings. If we require additional capital to fund acquisitions, we may also seek such capital through traditional reserve-based borrowings, offerings of debt and equity securities, asset sales, or other means. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current drilling program, which could result in a loss of acreage through lease expirations. In addition, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or replace our reserves.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds from sales of oil and gas properties and proceeds from the issuance of our 2027 Senior Notes were used to repay net borrowings of $300.0 million under our credit facility, to finance $437.9 million of drilling and development capex, to fund $42.3 million in oil and gas property acquisitions and to purchase $4.3 million of other property and equipment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds from sales of oil and natural gas properties, and $140.0$30.0 million in net borrowings under our credit facility were used to finance $723.1$469.0 million of drilling and development expenditurescapex and $114.9$107.2 million in oil and gas property acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash flows from operating activities, and cash on hand and $130.0 million of net borrowings from our credit facility were used to finance $354.5 million of drilling and development expenditures, while $333.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Class A common shares together with cash on hand, $35.0 million in net borrowings under our credit facility, and proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties were used to finance $419.5 million in oil and gas property acquisitions.
Credit Agreement
On May 4, 2018, CRP, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, had a borrowing base of $800.0 million$1.2 billion and elected commitments of $600.0$800.0 million. The credit agreement provides for a five-year secured revolving credit facility, maturing on May 4, 2023. TheAs of June 30, 2019, the Company had $140.0 millionno borrowings outstanding and $459.1$799.2 million in available borrowing capacity, which was net of $0.9$0.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.

The amount available to be borrowed under the Company’s credit agreement is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, (ii) aggregate elected commitments, or (iii) $1.5 billion. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually each April 1 and October 1 by the lenders in their sole discretion. It also allows for two optional borrowing base redeterminations on January 1 and July 1. The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of CRP’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from these reserves, and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings exceed the revised borrowing capacity, CRP could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility may be base rate loans or LIBOR loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for LIBOR loans. LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 50 to 150 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. CRP also pays a commitment fee on unused amounts under its facility of a range of 37.5 to 50 basis points. CRP may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.
CRP’s credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit its ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make or declare dividends; (v) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of CRP’s expected production; (vi) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (vii) incur liens; (viii) sell assets; and (ix) engage in transactions with affiliates.
CRP’s credit agreement also requires it to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of CRP’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under its revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the credit agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Funded Debt (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) for the rolling four fiscal quarter period ending on such day, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. CRP was in compliance with these covenants and the financial ratios described above as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.
In connection with the October 2018spring 2019 semi-annual credit facility semi-annual redetermination, the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was increased from $800.0 million to $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, but the amount of elected commitments remained at $800.0 million. In addition, CRP and the lenders increased their aggregate elected commitments from $600.0 millionamended the credit agreement to $800.0 million.reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for the LIBOR loans to a range of 125 to 225 basis points and to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for base rate loans to 25 to 125 basis points, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. These reductions in the applicable margins became effective in April 2019 and remain applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio (as described above) is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0; otherwise, the original applicable margins would be applied.

5.375%
Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026
On November 30, 2017, CRP issued at par $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) and on March 15, 2019, CRP issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes” and collectively with the 2026 Senior Notes the “Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds to CRP of $391.0 million, after deducting $9.0 million in debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing July 15, 2018.placements. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CRP’s current subsidiaries that guarantee CRP’s revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company, nor is the Company subject to the terms of the indentureindentures governing the Senior Notes.

At any time prior to January 15, 2021, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount issued under the indentureThe indentures governing the Senior Notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offering.

At any time prior to January 15, 2021, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of redemption. On and after January 15, 2021, CRP may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 102.688% for the 12-month period beginning on January 15, 2021, 101.344% for the 12-month period beginning January 15, 2022, and 100% beginning on January 15, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If CRP experiences certain defined changes of control (and, in some cases, followed by a ratings decline), each holder of the Senior Notes may require CRP to repurchase all or a portion of its Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes containscontain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit CRP’s ability and the ability of CRP’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. CRP was in compliance with these covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk in the form of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” as it applies to our business refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates.rates, and we are exposed to market risk as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.
Commodity Price Risk
Our majorprimary market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. Based on our production for the nine monthsfirst half of 2018,2019, our income before income taxes for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 would have moved up or down $53.4$39.0 million for each 10% change in oil prices per Bbl, $8.8$4.8 million for each 10% change in NGL prices per Bbl, and $4.7$2.1 million for each 10% change in natural gas prices per Mcf.
Due to this volatility, we have historically used, and we may elect to continue to selectively use, commodity derivative instruments such(such as collars, swaps and basis swaps,swaps) to mitigate price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated production. Our derivative instruments allow us to reduce, but not eliminate, the potential effects of the variability in cash flows from operations due to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and provide increased certainty of cash flows for our drilling program and debt service requirements. These instruments provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices, andbut alternatively they may partially limit our potential gains from future increases in prices. Our credit agreement limits our ability to enter into commodity hedges covering greater than 85% of our reasonably anticipated projected production from proved properties.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s ability to borrow and the rates offered by lenders can be adversely affected by deteriorations in the credit markets and/or downgrades in the Company’s credit rating. CRP’s credit facility interest rate is based on a LIBOR spread, which exposes the Company to interest rate risk if we have borrowings outstanding.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had $140.0 million of debtno borrowings outstanding under its credit agreement, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.66%. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 1.0% increase or decrease in the assumed weighted average interest rate would be approximately $1.4 million per year.agreement. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.
The Company’s remaining long-term debt balance of $391.4$881.4 million consists of our Senior Notes, which has ahave fixed interest rate;rates; therefore, this balance is not affected by interest rate movements. For additional information regarding the Company’s debt instruments, see Note 4—3—Long-Term Debt, in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report.
