Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim results. However, operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | ||||||||
Use of Estimates. In the course of preparing the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and in the disclosure 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 initially established. | ||||||||
Areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates relate to the expected cash settlement of the Company’s 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“Convertible Notes”) in computing diluted earnings per share, volumes of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves used in calculating depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), the amount of expected future cash flows used in determining possible impairments of oil and gas properties and the amount of future capital costs used in these calculations. Assumptions, judgments and estimates also are required in determining asset retirement obligations, the timing of dry hole costs, impairments of undeveloped properties, valuing deferred tax assets and estimating fair values of derivative instruments and stock-based payment awards. | ||||||||
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable is comprised of the following: | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 | As of December 31, 2013 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Accrued oil, gas and NGL sales | $ | 60,015 | $ | 67,583 | ||||
Due from joint interest owners | 28,601 | 23,507 | ||||||
Other | 3,454 | 6,517 | ||||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (21 | ) | (21 | ) | ||||
Total accounts receivable | $ | 92,049 | $ | 97,586 | ||||
Oil and Gas Properties. The Company’s oil, gas and NGL exploration and production activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Under this method, all property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred, pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. If an exploratory well does not find proved reserves, the costs of drilling the well are charged to expense and included within cash flows from investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. If an exploratory well does find proved reserves, the costs remain capitalized and are included within additions to oil and gas properties within cash flows from investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when incurred. The costs of development wells are capitalized whether proved reserves are added or not. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. | ||||||||
Other exploration costs, including certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of proved properties and is classified in other operating revenues. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and renewals and betterments are capitalized to the appropriate property and equipment accounts. | ||||||||
Unproved oil and gas property costs are transferred to proved oil and gas properties if the properties are subsequently determined to be productive or are assigned proved reserves. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain until all costs are recovered. Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed periodically for impairment based on remaining lease terms, drilling results, reservoir performance, commodity price outlooks, future plans to develop acreage and other relevant matters. | ||||||||
Materials and supplies consist primarily of tubular goods and well equipment to be used in future drilling operations or repair operations and are carried at the lower of cost or market value, on a first-in, first-out basis. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the net capitalized costs and associated accumulated DD&A and non-cash impairments relating to the Company’s oil, natural gas and NGL producing activities: | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 | As of December 31, 2013 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Proved properties | $ | 486,080 | $ | 485,427 | ||||

Wells and facilities in progress | 83,539 | 56,674 | ||||||
Total unproved oil and gas properties, excluded from amortization | $ | 323,994 | $ | 296,599 | ||||
Accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment | (1,027,108 | ) | (976,339 | ) | ||||
Total oil and gas properties, net | $ | 2,264,471 | $ | 2,184,183 | ||||
All exploratory wells are evaluated for economic viability within one year of well completion. Exploratory wells that discover potentially economic reserves in areas where a major capital expenditure would be required before production could begin, and where the economic viability of that major capital expenditure depends upon the successful completion of further exploratory work in the area, remain capitalized if the well finds a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no exploratory well costs that had been capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling. | ||||||||
The Company reviews proved oil and gas properties on a field-by-field basis for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value may have occurred. The Company estimates the expected undiscounted future cash flows of its oil and gas properties and compares such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying value of a property exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will impair the carrying value to fair value based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors. The Company has no guarantee that the undiscounted future cash flows analysis of its proved property represents the applicable market value. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, recent sales prices of comparable properties, the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of reserves, future commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures and various discount rates commensurate with the risk and current market conditions associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. | ||||||||
The Company recognized non-cash impairment charges, which were included within impairment, dry hole costs and abandonment expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, as follows: | ||||||||
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Non-cash impairment of proved oil and gas properties (1) | $ | 1,038 | $ | — | ||||
Non-cash impairment of unproved oil and gas properties | — | — | ||||||
Dry hole costs | 106 | 851 | ||||||
Abandonment expense | 617 | 6,250 | ||||||
Total non-cash impairment, dry hole costs and abandonment expense | $ | 1,761 | $ | 7,101 | ||||
-1 | Non-cash impairment of proved oil and gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the Company's West Tavaputs properties based upon a true up of previously estimated fair value relative to carrying value. These assets were sold in December 2013. See Note 4. | |||||||
The provision for DD&A of oil and gas properties is calculated on a field-by-field basis using the unit-of-production method. Natural gas and NGLs are converted to an oil equivalent, Boe, at the standard rate of six Mcf to one Boe and forty-two gallons to one Boe, respectively. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs are taken into consideration by this calculation. | ||||||||
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are comprised of the following: | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 | As of December 31, 2013 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Accrued drilling, completion and facility costs | $ | 73,646 | $ | 54,750 | ||||
Accrued lease operating, gathering, transportation and processing expenses | 13,839 | 17,317 | ||||||
Accrued general and administrative expenses | 6,249 | 14,605 | ||||||
Trade payables and other | 35,394 | 29,256 | ||||||
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 129,128 | $ | 115,928 | ||||
Environmental Liabilities. Environmental expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Environmental liabilities are accrued when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition. The Company records revenues from the sales of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs when delivery to the purchaser has occurred. The Company uses the sales method to account for gas and NGL imbalances. Under this method, revenue is recorded on the basis of gas and NGLs actually sold by the Company. In addition, the Company records revenues for its share of gas and NGLs sold by other owners that cannot be volumetrically balanced in the future due to insufficient remaining reserves. The Company also reduces revenues for other owners’ gas and NGLs sold by the Company that cannot be volumetrically balanced in the future due to insufficient remaining reserves. The Company’s remaining over- and under- produced gas and NGLs balancing positions are taken into account in determining the Company’s proved oil, gas and NGL reserves. Imbalances at March 31, 2014 and 2013 were not material. | ||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to achieve a more predictable cash flow from its oil, natural gas and NGL sales by reducing its exposure to price fluctuations. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair market value and are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred income taxes also include tax credits and net operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. | ||||||||
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are recognized. | ||||||||
Earnings/Loss Per Share. Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted net income per common share calculations consist of nonvested equity shares of common stock, in-the-money outstanding stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock and shares into which the Convertible Notes are convertible. | ||||||||
In satisfaction of its obligation upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company may elect to deliver, at its option, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2014, the Company expected to settle the remaining Convertible Notes in cash. Therefore, the treasury stock method was used to measure the potentially dilutive impact of shares associated with that remaining conversion feature. The Company has the right with at least 30 days’ notice to call the Convertible Notes and the holders have the right to require the Company to purchase the notes on March 20, 2015. The Convertible Notes have not been dilutive since their issuance in March 2008 and, therefore, did not impact the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. No potential common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a net loss exists, as was the case for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share: | ||||||||

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

-6 | The aggregate estimated fair value of the Lease Financing Obligation was approximately $40.3 million as of March 31, 2014, and $41.7 million as of December 31, 2013. Because there is no active, public market for the Lease Financing Obligation, the aggregate estimated fair value was based on market-based parameters of comparable term secured financing instruments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amended Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s Amended Credit Facility has a maturity date of October 31, 2016 and current commitments and borrowing base of $625.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $180.0 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility.

Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The recorded value of the Amended Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 5, approximates its fair value due to its floating rate structure based on the LIBOR spread and the Company's borrowing base utilization. | ||||||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes a mid-market pricing convention (the mid-point price between bid and ask prices) for valuation as a practical expedient for assigning fair value. The Company uses market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market and income approaches for recurring fair value measurements and utilizes the best available information. Given the Company’s historical market transactions, its markets and instruments are fairly liquid. Therefore, the Company has been able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. A fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed securities and U.S. government treasury securities. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter forwards and options. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable than objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all applicable instruments and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. | ||||||||||||||||
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety 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 requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. | ||||||||||||||||

All fair values reflected in the table above and on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets have been adjusted for non-performance risk. For applicable financial assets carried at fair value, the credit standing of the counterparties is analyzed and factored into the fair value measurement of those assets. In addition, the fair value measurement of a liability has been adjusted to reflect the nonperformance risk of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements – The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (as discussed in more detail in Note 10) which allows certain management employees to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation. The Company maintains assets for the deferred compensation plan in a rabbi trust. The assets of the rabbi trust are invested in publicly traded mutual funds and are recorded in other current and other long-term assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also has highly liquid short term investments in money market funds. The deferred compensation plan financial assets are reported at fair value based on active market quotes, which represent Level 1 inputs. The money market fund investments are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value, which represent Level 1 inputs. The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate 7.625% Senior Notes and 7.0% Senior Notes totaled $855.0 million as of March 31, 2014. The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate 7.625% Senior Notes and 7.0% Senior Notes totaled $847.2 million as of December 31, 2013. The fair values of the Company's fixed rate Senior Notes are based on active market quotes, which represent Level 1 inputs. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of crude oil, natural gas and NGL forwards and options are estimated using a combined income and market valuation methodology with a mid-market pricing convention based upon forward commodity price and volatility curves. The curves are obtained from independent pricing services reflecting broker market quotes. The Company did not make any adjustments to the obtained curves. The pricing services publish observable market information from multiple brokers and exchanges. No proprietary models are used by the pricing services for the inputs. The Company utilized the counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of the Company’s valuations. | ||||||||||||||||
There is no active, public market for the Company’s Amended Credit Facility, Convertible Notes or Lease Financing Obligation. The Amended Credit Facility balance of $180.0 million and $115.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, approximates its fair value due to its floating rate structure. The Convertible Notes fair value of $25.5 million and $25.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are measured based on market-based parameters of the various components of the Convertible Notes and over the counter trades. The Lease Financing Obligation fair values of $40.3 million and $41.7 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are measured based on market-based parameters of comparable term secured financing instruments. The fair value measurements for the Amended Credit Facility, Convertible Notes and Lease Financing Obligation represent Level 2 inputs. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements – As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have assets or liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis classified under a Level 3 fair value hierarchy. |

The Company uses financial derivative instruments as part of its price risk management program to achieve a more predictable cash flow from its production revenues by reducing its exposure to commodity price fluctuations. The Company has entered into financial commodity swap contracts related to the sale of a portion of the Company’s production. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. | |||||||||||||
In addition to financial contracts, the Company may at times be party to various physical commodity contracts for the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs that have varying terms and pricing provisions. These physical commodity contracts qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale exception and, therefore, are not subject to hedge or mark-to-market accounting. The financial impact of physical commodity contracts is included in oil, natural gas and NGL production revenues at the time of settlement. | |||||||||||||
All derivative instruments, other than those that meet the normal purchase and normal sale exception, as mentioned above, are recorded at fair value and included on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are generally executed with major financial or commodities trading institutions that expose the Company to market and credit risks and may, at times, be concentrated with certain counterparties or groups of counterparties. The Company had hedges in place with nine different counterparties as of March 31, 2014. Although notional amounts are used to express the volume of these contracts, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk, in the event of non-performance by the counterparties, are substantially smaller. The creditworthiness of counterparties is subject to continual review by management, and the Company believes all of these institutions currently are acceptable credit risks. Full performance is anticipated, and the Company has no past due receivables from any of its counterparties. | |||||||||||||
It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts with counterparties that are lenders in the Amended Credit Facility, affiliates of lenders in the Amended Credit Facility or potential lenders in the Amended Credit Facility. The Company’s derivative contracts are documented using an industry standard contract known as a Schedule to the Master Agreement and International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement or other contracts. Typical terms for these contracts include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events and set-off provisions. The Company is not required to provide any credit support to its counterparties other than cross collateralization with the properties securing the Amended Credit Facility. The Company has set-off provisions in its derivative contracts with lenders under its Amended Credit Facility which, in the event of a counterparty default, allow the Company to set-off amounts owed to the defaulting counterparty under the Amended Credit Facility or other obligations against monies owed the Company under derivative contracts. Where the counterparty is not a lender under the Company’s Amended Credit Facility, it may not be able to set-off amounts owed by the Company under the Amended Credit Facility, even if such counterparty is an affiliate of a lender under such facility. The Company does not have any derivative balances that are offset by cash collateral. |

Income Taxes | |
Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 differs from the amounts that would be provided by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes principally due to the effect of state income taxes, stock-based compensation and other operating expenses not deductible for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate of 44.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to an increase in unfavorable permanent adjustments to taxable income relative to projected pre-tax income. |

Performance Share Programs | ||||||||||||||
2014 Program. In February 2014, the Compensation Committee approved a new performance share program (the “2014 Program”) pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The performance-based awards contingently vest in May 2017, depending on the level at which the performance goals are achieved. The performance goals, which will be measured over the three year period ending December 31, 2016, consist of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) ranking relative to a defined peer group’s individual TSRs (“Relative TSR”) (weighted at 60%) and the percentage change in discretionary cash flow per debt adjusted share relative to a defined peer group’s percentage calculation (“DCF per Debt Adjusted Share”) (weighted at 40%). The Relative TSR and DCF per Debt Adjusted Share goals will vest at 25% of the total award for performance met at the threshold level, 100% at the target level and 200% at the stretch level. If the actual results for a metric are between the threshold and target levels or between the target and stretch levels, the vested number of shares will be prorated based on the actual results compared to the threshold, target and stretch goals. If the threshold metrics are not met, no shares will vest. In any event, the total number of shares of common stock that could vest will not exceed 200% of the original number of performance shares granted. At the end of the three year vesting period, any shares that have not vested will be forfeited. A total of 248,575 shares were granted under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2014. All compensation expense related to the TSR metric will be recognized if the requisite service period is fulfilled, even if the market condition is not achieved. All compensation expense related to the discretionary cash flow metric will be based upon the number of shares expected to vest at the end of the three year period. The Company recorded $0.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended | |||||||
Mar. 31, 2014 | ||||||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim results. However, operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | |||||||
Use of Estimates. In the course of preparing the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and in the disclosure 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 initially established. | ||||||||
Areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates relate to the expected cash settlement of the Company’s 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“Convertible Notes”) in computing diluted earnings per share, volumes of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves used in calculating depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), the amount of expected future cash flows used in determining possible impairments of oil and gas properties and the amount of future capital costs used in these calculations. Assumptions, judgments and estimates also are required in determining asset retirement obligations, the timing of dry hole costs, impairments of undeveloped properties, valuing deferred tax assets and estimating fair values of derivative instruments and stock-based payment awards. | ||||||||
Oil and Gas Properties | ' | |||||||
Oil and Gas Properties. The Company’s oil, gas and NGL exploration and production activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Under this method, all property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred, pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. If an exploratory well does not find proved reserves, the costs of drilling the well are charged to expense and included within cash flows from investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. If an exploratory well does find proved reserves, the costs remain capitalized and are included within additions to oil and gas properties within cash flows from investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when incurred. The costs of development wells are capitalized whether proved reserves are added or not. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. | ||||||||
Other exploration costs, including certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of proved properties and is classified in other operating revenues. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and renewals and betterments are capitalized to the appropriate property and equipment accounts. | ||||||||
Unproved oil and gas property costs are transferred to proved oil and gas properties if the properties are subsequently determined to be productive or are assigned proved reserves. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain until all costs are recovered. Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed periodically for impairment based on remaining lease terms, drilling results, reservoir performance, commodity price outlooks, future plans to develop acreage and other relevant matters. | ||||||||
Materials and supplies consist primarily of tubular goods and well equipment to be used in future drilling operations or repair operations and are carried at the lower of cost or market value, on a first-in, first-out basis. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the net capitalized costs and associated accumulated DD&A and non-cash impairments relating to the Company’s oil, natural gas and NGL producing activities: | ||||||||

All exploratory wells are evaluated for economic viability within one year of well completion. Exploratory wells that discover potentially economic reserves in areas where a major capital expenditure would be required before production could begin, and where the economic viability of that major capital expenditure depends upon the successful completion of further exploratory work in the area, remain capitalized if the well finds a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no exploratory well costs that had been capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling. | ||||||||
The Company reviews proved oil and gas properties on a field-by-field basis for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value may have occurred. The Company estimates the expected undiscounted future cash flows of its oil and gas properties and compares such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying value of a property exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will impair the carrying value to fair value based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors. The Company has no guarantee that the undiscounted future cash flows analysis of its proved property represents the applicable market value. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, recent sales prices of comparable properties, the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of reserves, future commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures and various discount rates commensurate with the risk and current market conditions associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. | ||||||||
The Company recognized non-cash impairment charges, which were included within impairment, dry hole costs and abandonment expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, as follows: | ||||||||
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||

The provision for DD&A of oil and gas properties is calculated on a field-by-field basis using the unit-of-production method. Natural gas and NGLs are converted to an oil equivalent, Boe, at the standard rate of six Mcf to one Boe and forty-two gallons to one Boe, respectively. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs are taken into consideration by this calculation. | ||||||||
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities | ' | |||||||
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are comprised of the following: | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014 | As of December 31, 2013 | |||||||

Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 129,128 | $ | 115,928 | ||||
Environmental Liabilities | ' | |||||||
Environmental Liabilities. Environmental expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Environmental liabilities are accrued when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||||||
Revenue Recognition. The Company records revenues from the sales of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs when delivery to the purchaser has occurred. The Company uses the sales method to account for gas and NGL imbalances. Under this method, revenue is recorded on the basis of gas and NGLs actually sold by the Company. In addition, the Company records revenues for its share of gas and NGLs sold by other owners that cannot be volumetrically balanced in the future due to insufficient remaining reserves. The Company also reduces revenues for other owners’ gas and NGLs sold by the Company that cannot be volumetrically balanced in the future due to insufficient remaining reserves. The Company’s remaining over- and under- produced gas and NGLs balancing positions are taken into account in determining the Company’s proved oil, gas and NGL reserves. Imbalances at March 31, 2014 and 2013 were not material. | ||||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | ' | |||||||
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments to achieve a more predictable cash flow from its oil, natural gas and NGL sales by reducing its exposure to price fluctuations. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair market value and are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | |||||||
Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred income taxes related to certain income and expenses recognized in different periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred income taxes also include tax credits and net operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates. | ||||||||
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are recognized. | ||||||||
Earnings/Loss Per Share | ' | |||||||
Earnings/Loss Per Share. Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted net income per common share calculations consist of nonvested equity shares of common stock, in-the-money outstanding stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock and shares into which the Convertible Notes are convertible. | ||||||||
In satisfaction of its obligation upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company may elect to deliver, at its option, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2014, the Company expected to settle the remaining Convertible Notes in cash. Therefore, the treasury stock method was used to measure the potentially dilutive impact of shares associated with that remaining conversion feature. The Company has the right with at least 30 days’ notice to call the Convertible Notes and the holders have the right to require the Company to purchase the notes on March 20, 2015. The Convertible Notes have not been dilutive since their issuance in March 2008 and, therefore, did not impact the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. No potential common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a net loss exists, as was the case for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share: | ||||||||

New Accounting Pronouncements | ' | |||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
