Results of Operations from Oil and Gas Producing Activities

The Company’s natural gas interests consist of royalty and non‑operated working interests in wells drilled on the Company’s approximately 3,800 acres of land located in Johnson County, Texas in the Barnett Shale Formation. The Company also has royalty and non-operated working interests in wells drilled from drillsites on the Company’s property under a lease covering approximately 538 acres of land contiguous to the Company’s Johnson County, Texas property. The following sets forth certain information with respect to the Company’s results of operations and costs incurred for its natural gas interests for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Unaudited Oil and Natural Gas Reserve and Standardized Measure Information

The independent petroleum engineering firm of LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. has been retained by the Company to estimate its proved natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  The Company had retained the independent petroleum engineering firm of DeGolyer and MacNaughton to estimate its proved natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2016.  No events have occurred since December 31, 2018 that would have a material effect on the estimated proved reserves.

The following information is presented with regard to the Company’s natural gas reserves, all of which are proved and located in the United States. These rules require inclusion, as a supplement to the basic financial statements, of a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved natural gas reserves. The standardized measure, in management’s opinion, should be examined with caution. The basis for these disclosures is the independent petroleum engineers’ reserve studies, which contain imprecise estimates of quantities and rates of production of reserves. Revision of estimates can have a significant impact on the results. Also, development and production improvement costs in one year may significantly change previous estimates of proved reserves and their valuation. Values of unproved properties and anticipated future price and cost increases or decreases are not considered. Therefore, the standardized measure is not necessarily a “best estimate” of the fair value of gas properties or of future net cash flows.

In calculating the future net cash flows for its royalty and non-operated working interests in the table below as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company utilized 12‑month average prices of $2.82,  $2.81 and $2.65 per MCF of natural gas and $25.57,  $20.23 and $16.61 per BBL of natural gas liquids, respectively.
