Note 2. Acquisition and Divestiture

2021 Acquisition of Wyoming CO2 EOR Properties

On March 3, 2021, we acquired a nearly 100% working interest (approximately 83% net revenue interest) in the Big Sand Draw and Beaver Creek EOR fields located in Wyoming from a subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation, including surface facilities and a 46-mile CO2 transportation pipeline to the acquired fields. The acquisition purchase price was $10.9 million (after final closing adjustments) plus two contingent $4 million cash payments if NYMEX WTI oil prices average at least $50 per Bbl during each of 2021 and 2022. We made the first contingent payment in January 2022 and if the price condition is met, the second $4 million payment will be due in January 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $3.8 million as of June 30, 2022.

The fair values allocated to our assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition, based on significant inputs not observable in the market and considered level 3 inputs, were finalized during the third quarter of 2021, after consideration of

final closing adjustments and evaluation of reserves and liabilities assumed. The following table presents a summary of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition:

2021 Divestiture of Hartzog Draw Deep Mineral Rights

On June 30, 2021, we closed the sale of undeveloped, unconventional deep mineral rights in Hartzog Draw Field in Wyoming. The cash proceeds of $18 million were recorded to “Proved properties” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds reduced our full cost pool; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction, and the sale had no impact on our production or reserves.
