Restructuring and Exit Activities
 
During 2012, we completed an organizational restructuring in conjunction with the sale of our natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. We terminated approximately 30 employees and closed our regional office in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. In addition, we have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result of the sale, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. While we intend to sell our unused firm transportation in the future to the extent possible, we recognized an obligation in 2012 representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract. The activity summarized below includes contractual payments on the obligation as well as the recognition of accretion expense.

The following table summarizes our restructuring and exit activity-related obligations and the changes therein as of and for the periods presented:

Restructuring charges are included in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial charge for the firm transportation commitment was presented as a separate caption on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accretion of this obligation, net of any recoveries from the periodic sale of our contractual capacity, is charged as an offset to Other revenue.

The current portion of these restructuring and exit cost obligations is included in the Accounts payable and accrued liabilities caption and the noncurrent portion is included in the Other liabilities caption on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2013, $2.7 million of the total obligations are classified as current while the remaining $13.9 million are classified as noncurrent.
