| Derivatives and Risk Management |
Derivatives and Risk Management The Company is exposed to volatility in market prices and basis differentials for oil, natural gas, and NGLs, which can impact the predictability of our cash flows related to the sale of those commodities. The overall objective of the Company’s hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices, which we do by using various derivative instruments including fixed price swaps, basis swaps, and collars. The Company’s oil option positions primarily consist of costless collars, which combine purchased put options and sold call options with offsetting volumes and differing strike prices. The tables below present these component instruments on a gross basis. As a result of our hedging activities, we may realize prices that are greater or less than the market prices that we would have otherwise received. We typically enter into over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts with financial institutions and regularly monitor the creditworthiness of all counterparties. Certain of our hedging arrangements are with counterparties that are also lenders (or affiliates of lenders) under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any cash or letters of credit posted as collateral for our derivative financial instruments. The Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; therefore, all changes in fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in other income within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, subject to netting arrangements with our counterparties that permit net settlement of gross commodity derivative assets against gross commodity derivative liabilities. Contracts that result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be sold by the Company in the normal course of business are generally designated as normal purchases and normal sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. Contracts that result in the physical receipt or delivery of a commodity but are not designated or do not meet all of the criteria to qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception are subject to derivative accounting. The following tables provide information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments. The tables present the notional amount, the weighted average contract prices and the fair values by expected maturity dates as of June 30, 2026. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Volume | | Weighted Average Price | | Fair Value as of
