Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments Summary of Oil, Gas, and NGL Derivative Contracts in Place The Company has entered into various commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of its exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices and the associated impact on cash flows. All contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. The Company’s derivative contracts consist of swap and collar arrangements for oil, gas, and NGLs. In a typical commodity swap agreement, if the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the swap fixed price, the Company receives the difference between the index price and the agreed upon swap fixed price. If the index price is higher than the swap fixed price, the Company pays the difference. For collar arrangements, the Company receives the difference between an agreed upon index and the floor price if the index price is below the floor price. The Company pays the difference between the agreed upon ceiling price and the index price if the index price is above the ceiling price. No amounts are paid or received if the index price is between the floor and ceiling prices. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had commodity derivative contracts outstanding through the second quarter of 2020 as summarized in the tables below. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company restructured certain of its gas derivative contracts by buying fixed price volumes to offset existing 2018 and 2019 fixed price swap contracts totaling 55.0 million MMBtu. The Company then entered into new 2017 fixed price swap contracts totaling 38.6 million MMBtu with a contract price of $4.43 per MMBtu. No cash or other consideration was included as part of the restructuring. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company entered into derivative fixed price swap contracts through the first quarter of 2018 for a total of 15.6 million MMBtu of gas production at contract prices ranging from $2.90 to $3.24 per MMBtu, and derivative fixed price swap contracts through the fourth quarter of 2018 for 1.4 million Bbls of NGL production at contract prices ranging from $21.32 per Bbl to $21.79 per Bbl. Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a derivative collar contract through the fourth quarter of 2017 for a total of 1.4 million Bbls of crude oil production with a contract floor price of $45.00 per Bbl and a contract ceiling price of $56.25 per Bbl.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, all derivative instruments held by the Company were subject to master netting arrangements with various financial institutions.

The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets.
