BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Condensed Financial Statements These unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information, and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Organization and Nature of Operations – COVID-19 – Liquidity and Capital Considerations While changes in oil and natural gas prices affect the Company’s liquidity, the Company has put in place hedges to protect, to some extent, its cash flows from such price declines; however, if oil or natural gas prices rapidly deteriorate due to unanticipated economic conditions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows. The Company expects ongoing oil price volatility over the short term. Extended depressed oil prices have historically had and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s oil revenue, which is mitigated to some extent by the Company’s hedge contracts. The Company is always mindful of oil price volatility and its impact on the Company’s liquidity. The Company believes that it has the ability to continue to fund its operations and service its debt by using cash on hand and cash flows from operations. Use of Estimates Fair Value Measurements Fair Values of Financial Instruments Derivative Instruments and Commodity Risk Activities Any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of outstanding derivative financial instruments and from the settlement of derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings and included as a component of Other income (expense) in the Statements of Operations. When applicable, the Company records all derivative instruments, other than those that meet the normal purchases and sales exception, on the Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The change in fair value resulted in the recognition of an unrealized gain of $12,160,246 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and an unrealized loss of $1,320,393 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the change in fair value resulted in the recognition of an unrealized loss of $22,840,907 and an unrealized loss of $48,508,755, respectively, on derivative contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had realized losses of $19,617,265 and $33,732,766, respectively, on derivatives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had realized losses of $12,436,333 and $18,357,124, respectively, on derivatives including $581,424 in March 2021 from unwinding the Company’s remaining gas swaps for 2021 and 2022. Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers Approximately 97% of the Company’s accounts receivables and joint interest billing receivables are from purchasers of oil and gas. Oil and gas sales are generally unsecured. The Company also has joint interest billing receivables which are collateralized by the pro rata revenue attributable to the joint interest holders and further by the interest itself. Accounts receivable from joint interest owners or purchasers outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.The Company has not had any significant credit losses in the past and believes its accounts and joint interest billing receivables are collectable. Accordingly, no material allowance for credit losses has been provided at June 30, 2022. Oil and Gas Properties All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, plus estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves as determined by the Company’s independent petroleum engineers. The Company evaluates oil and gas properties for impairment quarterly. The Company did not incur a write down of oil and natural gas properties as a result of the ceiling test for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $10,749,204 and $20,530,491, respectively, based on depletion at the rate of $12.51 and $12.28, respectively, per barrel of oil equivalent compared to $9,275,126 and $17,383,284, respectively, based on depletion at the rate of $11.58 and $11.42 per barrel of oil equivalent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These amounts include $119,417 and $276,087, respectively, of depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $94,890 and $155,860, respectively, of depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Equipment, Vehicles and Leasehold Improvements Asset Retirement Obligation Share-Based Employee Compensation Share-Based Compensation to Non-Employees Income Taxes Since December 31, 2020, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary due to the Company assessment that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to obtain the benefits of its deferred tax assets due to the Company’s history of taxable losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company determined that certain existing deferred tax assets will not be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities as a result of the 80% limitation on the utilization net operating losses incurred after 2017. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded federal income tax expense of $1,014,048.

REVENUE RECOGNITION | |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company predominantly derives its revenue from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. The contractual performance obligation is satisfied when the product is delivered to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. The Company receives payment from one to three months after delivery. The Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC (“Accounting Standards Codification”) 606-10-50-14, which states an entity is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s sales contracts, each unit of production delivered to a customer represents a separate performance obligation, therefore, future volumes to be delivered are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not required. The transaction price includes variable consideration as product pricing is based on published market prices and reduced for contract specified differentials such as quality, energy content and transportation. The guidance does not require that the transaction price be fixed or stated in the contract. Estimating the variable consideration does not require significant judgment and the Company engages third party sources to validate the estimates. Revenue is recognized net of royalties due to third parties in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Oil sales Under the Company’s oil sales contracts, the Company sells oil production at the point of delivery and collects an agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. The Company recognizes revenue at the net price received when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Natural gas sales Under the Company’s natural gas sales processing contracts for its Central Basin Platform properties, Delaware Basin properties and part of its Northwest Shelf assets, the Company delivers unprocessed natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead. The midstream processing entity obtains control of the natural gas at the wellhead. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to the Company for the resulting sale of natural gas. Under these processing agreements, the Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. As such, the Company accounts for any fees and deductions as a reduction of the transaction price. Until April 30, 2022, under the Company’s natural gas sales processing contracts for the bulk of its Northwest Shelf assets, the Company delivered unprocessed natural gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead. However, the Company maintained ownership of the gas through processing and received proceeds from marketing the resulting products. Under this processing agreement, the Company recognized fees associated with the processing as an expense rather than netting these costs against Oil and Natural Gas Revenues in the Statements of Operations. Beginning May 1, 2022, these contracts were combined into one contract, and it was modified so that the Company no longer maintained ownership of the gas through processing. Accordingly, the Company, from that point on, accounts for any such fees and deductions as a reduction of the transaction price. Disaggregation of revenue.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices on its production. It utilizes derivative strategies that consist of either a single derivative instrument or a combination of instruments to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of its future domestic oil and natural gas production. While the use of derivative instruments may limit or partially reduce the downside risk of adverse commodity price movements, the use also may limit future income from favorable commodity price movements. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value and included as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheets. The Company has not designated its derivative financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes, and, as a result, any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of outstanding derivative financial instruments and from the settlement of derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings and included as a component of “Other income (expense)” under the heading “(Loss) on derivative contracts” in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The use of derivative transactions involves the risk that the counterparties, which generally are financial institutions, will be unable to meet the financial terms of such transactions. At June 30, 2022, 100% of the Company’s volumes subject to derivative instruments are with lenders under its Credit Facility (as defined in Note 8). Non-performance risk is incorporated by utilizing discount rates adjusted for the credit risk of the Company’s counterparties. The Company is not subject to master netting agreements and classifies the fair value of its derivative positions on a gross basis in its corresponding Balance Sheets. The following presents the impact of the Company’s contracts on its Balance Sheets for the periods indicated. As of June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Commodity derivative instruments $ 1,353,196 $ — Derivative assets, current $ 1,353,196 $ — Commodity derivative instruments $ 785,389 $ — Derivative assets, noncurrent $ 785,389 $ — Commodity derivative instruments $ 32,700,566 $ 29,241,588 Derivative liabilities, current $ 32,700,566 $ 29,241,588 The components of “(Loss) on derivative contracts Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 (Loss) on oil derivative $ (7,457,018) $ (35,277,240) $ (35,053,159) $ (66,667,190) (Loss) on natural gas derivatives — — — (198,689) (Loss) on derivative contracts $ (7,457,018) $ (35,277,240) $ (35,053,159) $ (66,865,879) The components of “Cash (paid) for derivative settlements” are as follows for the respective periods: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cash flows from operating activites: Cash (paid) on oil derivatives $ (19,617,265) $ (12,436,333) $ (33,732,766) $ (19,100,302) Cash received on natural gas derivatives — — — 743,178 Cash (paid) for derivative settlements, net $ (19,617,265) $ (12,436,333) $ (33,732,766) $ (18,357,124) During 2020, 2021, and early 2022, the Company entered into additional derivative contracts in the form of swaps for the 2022 calendar period for oil.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is 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 authoritative guidance requires disclosure of the framework for measuring fair value and requires that fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Financial assets and liabilities are classified 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 the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company continues to evaluate its inputs to ensure the fair value level classification is appropriate. When transfers between levels occur, it is the Company’s policy to assume that the transfer occurred at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. The fair values of the Company’s derivatives are not actively quoted in the open market. The Company uses a market approach to estimate the fair values of its derivative instruments on a recurring basis, utilizing commodity futures pricing for the underlying commodities provided by a reputable third party, a Level 2 fair value measurement. Other financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company’s long-term debt obligation bears interest at floating market rates, therefore the carrying amounts and fair value are approximately equal. The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a non-recurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments if events or changes in certain circumstances indicate that adjustments may be necessary. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis(further detail in Note 6).

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT | |
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT | NOTE 8 – REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT In April 2019, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”). The amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, among other things, increased the maximum borrowing amount to $1 billion, extended the maturity date through April 2024 and made other modifications to the terms of the Credit Facility. The fourth amendment on June 10, 2021, among other things, reaffirmed the borrowing base at $350 million and modified the definition for “Fall 2020 Borrowing Base Hedges,” from 4,000 barrels of oil per day to 3,100 barrels of oil per day for calendar year 2022. The fifth amendment on June 25, 2021 incorporated contractual fallback language for US dollar LIBOR denominated syndicated loans, which language provides for the transition away from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate, and incorporates certain provisions that clarify the rights of agents to recover from lenders erroneous payments made to such lenders. The Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The borrowing base is subject to periodic redeterminations, mandatory reductions, and further adjustments from time to time. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually in May and November and was most recently affirmed at $350 million in December 2021. The May 2022 redetermination has been postponed due to the events highlighted in Note 13. The Credit Facility allows for Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans (as respectively defined in the Credit Facility). The interest rate on each Eurodollar Loan will be the adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus a margin between 2.5% and 3.5% (depending on the then-current level of borrowing base usage). The annual interest rate on each Base Rate Loan is (a) the greatest of (i) the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 0.5% per annum, (iii) the adjusted LIBOR determined on a daily basis for an interest period of one-month, plus 1.00% per annum and (iv) 0.00% per annum, plus (b) a margin between 1.5% and 2.5% (depending on the then-current level of borrowing base usage). The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of (i) a total Leverage Ratio (outstanding debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of not more than 4.0 to 1.0 and (ii) a minimum ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities (as such terms are defined in the Credit Facility) of 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2022, $270,000,000 was outstanding on the Credit Facility. The Company is in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022. |

In 2011, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved and adopted a long-term incentive plan which allowed for the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock through the grant of qualified stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. In 2013, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the long-term incentive plan, increasing the number of shares eligible under the plan to 5,000,000 shares. There were 341,155 shares remaining eligible for grant, either as stock options or as restricted stock, as of June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Considerations | Liquidity and Capital Considerations While changes in oil and natural gas prices affect the Company’s liquidity, the Company has put in place hedges to protect, to some extent, its cash flows from such price declines; however, if oil or natural gas prices rapidly deteriorate due to unanticipated economic conditions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows. The Company expects ongoing oil price volatility over the short term. Extended depressed oil prices have historically had and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s oil revenue, which is mitigated to some extent by the Company’s hedge contracts. The Company is always mindful of oil price volatility and its impact on the Company’s liquidity. The Company believes that it has the ability to continue to fund its operations and service its debt by using cash on hand and cash flows from operations. |

Derivative Instruments and Commodity Risk Activities | Derivative Instruments and Commodity Risk Activities Any gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of outstanding derivative financial instruments and from the settlement of derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings and included as a component of Other income (expense) in the Statements of Operations. When applicable, the Company records all derivative instruments, other than those that meet the normal purchases and sales exception, on the Balance Sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The change in fair value resulted in the recognition of an unrealized gain of $12,160,246 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and an unrealized loss of $1,320,393 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the change in fair value resulted in the recognition of an unrealized loss of $22,840,907 and an unrealized loss of $48,508,755, respectively, on derivative contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had realized losses of $19,617,265 and $33,732,766, respectively, on derivatives.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers | Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers Approximately 97% of the Company’s accounts receivables and joint interest billing receivables are from purchasers of oil and gas. Oil and gas sales are generally unsecured. The Company also has joint interest billing receivables which are collateralized by the pro rata revenue attributable to the joint interest holders and further by the interest itself. Accounts receivable from joint interest owners or purchasers outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.The Company has not had any significant credit losses in the past and believes its accounts and joint interest billing receivables are collectable. Accordingly, no material allowance for credit losses has been provided at June 30, 2022. |
Oil and Gas Properties | Oil and Gas Properties All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, plus estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves as determined by the Company’s independent petroleum engineers. The Company evaluates oil and gas properties for impairment quarterly. The Company did not incur a write down of oil and natural gas properties as a result of the ceiling test for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Since December 31, 2020, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary due to the Company assessment that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to obtain the benefits of its deferred tax assets due to the Company’s history of taxable losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company determined that certain existing deferred tax assets will not be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities as a result of the 80% limitation on the utilization net operating losses incurred after 2017. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded federal income tax expense of $1,014,048. The Company recorded state deferred income tax expense of $536,913 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $190,644 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company has immaterial operations in New Mexico which is in a net deferred tax asset position for which a full valuation allowance is still recorded. |
