On July 30, 2015, QEP Resources announced the closing of its regional office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Closing the Tulsa office will result in all of the Company’s technical and commercial teams being located at QEP’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Restructuring costs are estimated to be approximately $6.0 million to $10.0 million, the majority of which are expected to be incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015.  Although management believes this range of estimated cost is reasonable, actual results could differ depending on final results of the restructuring and potential lease termination costs.
