In 2013, we recognized oil and gas impairments of $121.8 million in the Granite Wash in the Mid-Continent, $9.5 million in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and $0.9 million in the Selma Chalk in Mississippi, in each case due primarily to market declines in current and expected future commodity prices. In 2012, we recognized a $28.4 million impairment of our assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia triggered by the expected disposition of these properties, and a $75.0 million impairment of our Marcellus Shale assets due primarily to market declines in natural gas prices and the resultant reduction in proved natural gas reserves. In 2012, we also recognized an impairment of certain tubular inventory and well materials due primarily to declines in asset quality. In 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin assets for $71.1 million, which was triggered by the expected disposition of these properties. Also during 2011, we recognized impairments of our horizontal coal bed methane properties in the Appalachian region for $26.6 million and certain dry-gas properties in Mississippi for $6.8 million, in each case due primarily to market declines in gas prices.
