Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Exit Activities	Exit Activities We have committed to a number of actions, or exit activities, consistent with our current business plans for which we have continuing financial commitments. The most significant of these activities are attributable to an overall reduction in the scope and scale of our organization and require payments to satisfy obligations associated with the underlying commitments. The following summarizes our most significant exit activities. Reductions in Force In connection with efforts to reduce our administrative costs, we took certain actions to reduce our total employee headcount. In February, June and September, we reduced our total employee headcount by 45 employees. We paid a total of $1.9 million, including $1.2 million in severance and termination benefits and $0.7 million in retention bonuses during the nine months ended September 2016, and $0.1 million in severance and termination benefits during October 2016. The employment of nine employees scheduled for termination was extended with a payout of $0.2 million in retention bonuses, included in the above retention. Estimated severance and termination benefits for these employees is expected to be $0.3 million. The affected employees must continue to provide services through each of their extension dates in order to receive these benefits. Accordingly, we incurred a charge and established an accrual representing the period for which these benefits have been earned. The costs associated with these reduction-in-force and retention actions are included as a component of our “General and administrative” expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related obligations are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Drilling Rig Termination In connection with the suspension of our 2016 drilling program in the Eagle Ford, we terminated our one remaining drilling rig contract and incurred $1.3 million in early termination charges. As this obligation represented a pre-petition liability of the Predecessor, it was discharged and included in “Reorganization items, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The vendor recovered a portion of the amount in the form of New Common Stock. Firm Transportation Obligation We had a contractual obligation for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that was scheduled to expire in 2022 and, as a result of the sale of our natural gas assets in this region in 2012, we no longer had production available to satisfy this commitment. We originally recognized a liability in 2012 representing this obligation for the estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract. The accretion of the obligation through the Petition Date, net of any recoveries from periodic sales of our contractual capacity, was charged as an offset to Other revenue. In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, we rejected the underlying contract and the obligation was discharged and included in “Reorganization items, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The vendor recovered a portion of the amount in the form of New Common Stock.

Exit Activities

We have committed to a number of actions, or exit activities, consistent with our current business plans for which we have continuing financial commitments. The most significant of these activities are attributable to an overall reduction in the scope and scale of our organization and require payments to satisfy obligations associated with the underlying commitments. The following summarizes our most significant exit activities.

Reductions in Force

In connection with efforts to reduce our administrative costs, we took certain actions to reduce our total employee headcount. In February, June and September, we reduced our total employee headcount by 45 employees. We paid a total of $1.9 million, including $1.2 million in severance and termination benefits and $0.7 million in retention bonuses during the nine months ended September 2016, and $0.1 million in severance and termination benefits during October 2016. The employment of nine employees scheduled for termination was extended with a payout of $0.2 million in retention bonuses, included in the above retention. Estimated severance and termination benefits for these employees is expected to be $0.3 million. The affected employees must continue to provide services through each of their extension dates in order to receive these benefits. Accordingly, we incurred a charge and established an accrual representing the period for which these benefits have been earned.

The costs associated with these reduction-in-force and retention actions are included as a component of our “General and administrative” expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related obligations are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
