Deferred Midstream Gathering Credits. In 2019, we entered into agreements pursuant to which we dedicated the gathering of some of our production and all water gathering and disposal volumes in the Delaware Basin. The terms of these agreements range from 15 to 22 years. The acreage dedication agreements resulted in initial cash receipts and are being amortized on a units-of-production basis. The amortization rates are assessed on an annual basis for changes in estimated future production.
