Contract Assets. Contract assets include material contributions in aid of construction, which are common in purchase and processing agreements with the midstream service providers that are our customers. The intent of the payments is primarily to reimburse the customer for actual costs incurred related to the construction of its gathering and processing infrastructure. Contract assets are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets are amortized as a reduction to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales revenue during the periods in which the related production is transferred to the customer.

The following table presents the changes in carrying amounts of the contract assets associated with our crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

	(in thousands)
Beginning balance	$	25,872
Reduction to additions previously recognized	(2,574)
Amortized as a reduction to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales	(2,181)
