7. COMMODITY DERIVATIVES

The Company’s results of operations and cash flows are affected by changes in market prices for crude oil and natural gas. To manage a portion of its exposure to price volatility from producing crude oil and natural gas, the Company may enter into commodity derivative contracts to protect against price declines in future periods. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company does not apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are included as a non-cash adjustment to net loss in the operating activities section in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company no longer has any commodity derivative contracts outstanding.
