NOTE 9: Derivatives

The Company has entered into commodity price derivative agreements, including fixed swap contracts and costless collar contracts. These instruments are intended to reduce the Company’s exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of natural gas and oil. Fixed swap contracts set a fixed price and provide payments to the Company if the index price is below the fixed price, or require payments by the Company if the index price is above the fixed price. Collar contracts set a fixed floor price and a fixed ceiling price and provide payments to the Company if the index price falls below the floor or require payments by the Company if the index price rises above the ceiling. These contracts cover only a portion of the Company’s natural gas and oil production and provide only partial price protection against declines in natural gas and oil prices. The Company’s derivative contracts are currently with Bank of Oklahoma. The derivative contracts with Bank of Oklahoma are secured under the Credit Facility with Bank of Oklahoma (see Note 5: Long-Term Debt). The derivative instruments have settled or will settle based on the prices below:

The fair value amounts recognized for the Company’s derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The Company has the choice of whether or not to offset, but that choice must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for the derivative contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Company’s Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes and reconciles the Company's derivative contracts’ fair values at a gross level back to net fair value presentation on the Company's Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020. The Company has offset all amounts subject to master netting agreements in the Company's Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020.
