(1)
During 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture in Louisiana for an aggregate purchase price of $24 million for an approximate 30,000 acre leasehold position.

(2)
During 2015, the Company sold its Woodford Shale and Mississippian Lime assets for an aggregate cash purchase price of $274.1 million (see Note 2).

(3)
During 2016, the Company sold its remaining Oklahoma producing assets for an aggregate purchase price of $17.6 million. During 2015, the Company sold its Fort Trinidad assets for net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million and its East Haynesville assets for net proceeds of approximately $0.1 million. During 2014, the Company sold its Eagle Ford assets for net proceeds of approximately $9.8 million.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, unevaluated oil and gas properties totaled $9.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively, and were not subject to depletion. Unevaluated costs at December 31, 2016 included $0.4 million of costs related to one development well in progress at year-end. These costs are expected to be transferred to evaluated oil and gas properties during 2017 upon the completion of drilling. At December 31, 2015, unevaluated costs included $0.2 million related to 2 exploratory wells in progress. All of these costs were transferred to evaluated oil and gas properties during 2016. The Company capitalized $0.9 million, $4.7 million and $10.0 million of interest during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of the total unevaluated oil and gas property costs of $9.0 million at December 31, 2016, $3.4 million, or 38%, was incurred in 2016, $1.1 million, or 12%, was incurred in 2015 and $4.5 million, or 50%, was incurred in prior years. The Company expects that the majority of the unevaluated costs at December 31, 2016 will be evaluated within the next three years, including $1.8 million that the Company expects to be evaluated during 2017.
Oil and Gas Reserve Information
The Company’s net proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2016 have been estimated by independent petroleum engineers in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC using a historical 12-month, first of month, average pricing assumption.
The estimates of proved oil and gas reserves constitute those quantities of oil, gas,and natural gas liquids, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. However, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in providing the future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The following reserve data represents estimates only and should not be construed as being exact. In addition, the present values should not be construed as the current market value of the Company’s oil and gas properties or the cost that would be incurred to obtain equivalent reserves.


The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company’s estimated quantities of net proved and proved developed oil (including condensate), gas and natural gas liquid reserves, all located onshore and offshore in the continental United States:

Year Ended December 31, 2016    
During 2016, the Company’s estimated proved reserves decreased by 35%. The decline in reserves was primarily due to the divestiture of the Company's remaining Oklahoma assets and significant reductions in capital spending during 2016. Extensions, discoveries and other additions of 1.5 Bcfe were primarily due to the successful completion of the Company's final Oklahoma wells. Revisions of previous estimates included the reclassification of certain PUD reserves to probable reserves as a result of the Company's assessment of the timing of development. Overall, the Company had a 100% drilling success rate during 2016 on five gross wells drilled.
Year Ended December 31, 2015    
During 2015, the Company’s estimated proved reserves decreased by 55% primarily due to the divestiture of the majority of the Company's Woodford Shale and Mississippian Lime assets. Extensions, discoveries and other additions of 63 Bcfe were primarily due to successful drilling programs in the Company's Oklahoma and East Texas fields. The Company added approximately 17 Bcfe of proved reserves in Oklahoma and 44 Bcfe in Texas. Overall, the Company had a 95% drilling success rate during 2015 on 56 gross wells drilled.
Year Ended December 31, 2014 
During 2014, the Company's estimated proved reserves increased by 34%. Extensions, discoveries and other additions of 135 Bcfe were primarily due to successful drilling programs in the Company's Oklahoma and East Texas fields and its Thunder Bayou discovery. The Company added approximately 72 Bcfe of proved reserves in Oklahoma, 46 Bcfe in Texas and 15 Bcfe in the Gulf Coast. Overall, the Company had a 91% drilling success rate during 2014 on 58 gross wells drilled.
The following tables (amounts in thousands) present the standardized measure of future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves together with changes therein, as defined by ASC Topic 932. Future production and development costs are based on current costs with no escalations. Estimated future cash flows have been discounted to their present values based on a 10% annual discount rate.
