Divestitures and Nonmonetary Transactions

Divestitures. The Company regularly reviews its asset base to identify nonstrategic assets, the disposition of which would increase capital resources available for other activities, create organizational and operational efficiencies and further the Company's objective of maintaining a strong balance sheet to ensure financial flexibility.

•The Company had no material asset divestitures during the year ended December 31, 2023.

•During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company divested certain undeveloped acreage and producing wells in the Midland Basin for cash proceeds of $164 million. The Company recorded a gain on these sales of $110 million, which is reflected in net gain (loss) on disposition of assets in the consolidated statements of operations.

•In February 2022, the Company completed the sale of its equity interest in certain gas gathering and processing systems in northern Martin County for cash proceeds of $125 million. The sale was treated as a recovery of investment from a partial sale of proved property resulting in no gain or loss being recognized.

•In December 2021, the Company completed the sale of its assets in the Delaware Basin (the "Delaware Divestiture") for cash proceeds of $3.0 billion. The Company recognized a loss of $1.1 billion, which is reflected in net gain (loss) on disposition of assets in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Nonmonetary transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's nonmonetary transactions included exchanges of both proved and unproved oil and gas properties in the Midland Basin with unaffiliated third parties. Certain of these transactions were determined to have commercial substance, which led to those transactions being accounted for at fair value, and resulted in the Company recording a gain of $20 million to net gain (loss) on disposition of assets in the consolidated statements of operations and $154 million of noncash investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. Nonmonetary transactions that did not have commercial substance were recorded at carryover basis.
