Derivatives Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives 

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk, which impacts the predictability of its cash flows from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGL. On occasion, the Company has attempted to manage this risk on a portion of its forecasted oil, natural gas or NGL production sales through the use of commodity derivative contracts.

Historically, the Company has not designated any of its derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. As applicable, if the Company has open derivative contracts, the Company has recorded such contracts at fair value with changes in derivative contract fair values recognized as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the condensed consolidated income statements. Commodity derivative contracts were settled on a monthly basis, and the commodity derivative contract valuations were adjusted on a mark-to-market valuation basis quarterly.

The following table summarizes derivative activity (in thousands):

Master Netting Agreements and the Right of Offset. As applicable, the Company historically has had master netting agreements with all of its commodity derivative counterparties and has presented its derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the netting provisions, the Company's maximum amount of loss under commodity derivative transactions due to credit risk was limited to the net amounts due from its counterparties.

Because the Company did not designate any of its derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts were recognized as gains and losses in the earnings of the relevant period. Changes in fair value were principally measured based on a comparison of future prices to the contract price at the end of the period and through the Black-Scholes or other similar valuation method in the case of options.
The following tables summarize (i) the Company's commodity derivative contracts on a gross basis, (ii) the effects of netting assets and liabilities for which the right of offset exists based on master netting arrangements, (iii) the financial collateral, if any, associated with the Company’s commodity contracts, and (iv) the Company’s net derivative asset and liability positions as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
