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 cash that was received during the first quarter of 2019. ProPetro is considered a related party as the shares received represent 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.
In October 2019, Phillip A. Gobe, a nonemployee member of the Company's board of directors, was appointed by the board of directors of ProPetro to serve as its Executive Chairman, and in March 2020 he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors. In July 2021, ProPetro announced that, effective August 31, 2021, Mr. Gobe would transition from ProPetro's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman. Mark S. Berg, the Company's Executive Vice President, Corporate Operations, serves as a member of the ProPetro board of directors under the Company's right to designate a director to the board of directors of ProPetro so long as the Company owns five percent or more of ProPetro's outstanding common stock.
