In December 2018, the Company completed the sale of its pressure pumping assets to ProPetro in exchange for 16.6 million shares of ProPetro common stock and $110 million of short-term receivables that were collected during the three months ended March 31, 2019. ProPetro is considered a related party since the shares received represent approximately 16 percent of ProPetro's outstanding common stock. In addition to the sale of equipment and related facilities, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with ProPetro for it to provide pressure pumping and related services. The costs of these services are capitalized in oil and gas properties as incurred. See Note 3 and Note 14 for additional information.
