Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two business segments: (i) exploration and production and (ii) midstream. The exploration and production segment is engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States and is currently focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. The Company also operates in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. The midstream segment conducts midstream operations in support of the Company’s exploration, development and production operations and provides natural gas processing, oil transportation services, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering services and produced water disposal services to third parties. The majority of the Company’s midstream operations in the Rustler Breaks, West Texas and Stateline asset areas and the Greater Stebbins Area in the Delaware Basin are conducted through San Mateo. In addition, at December 31, 2023, the Company operated the Marlan Processing Plant, compressor stations and natural gas gathering pipelines in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico through Pronto, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Neither San Mateo nor Pronto is a guarantor of the 2026 Notes or the 2028 Notes.

The following tables present selected financial information for the periods presented regarding the Company’s business segments on a stand-alone basis, corporate expenses that are not allocated to a segment and the consolidation and elimination entries necessary to arrive at the financial information for the Company on a consolidated basis (in thousands). On a consolidated basis, midstream services revenues consist primarily of those revenues from midstream operations related to third parties, including working interest owners in the Company’s operated wells. All midstream services revenues associated with Company-owned production are eliminated in consolidation. In evaluating the operating results of the exploration and production and midstream segments, the Company does not allocate certain expenses to the individual segments, including general and administrative expenses. Such expenses are reflected in the column labeled “Corporate.”
