Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” – meaning, statements related to future events within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this document that address activities, events or developments we expect or anticipate will or may occur, are forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. This report modifies and supersedes documents filed by us before this report. In addition, certain information we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will automatically update and supersede information in this report.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events, and future results may differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Many factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or accurately predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in our forward-looking statements include:

•the amount and nature of our future capital expenditures and how we expect to fund our capital expenditures;

•prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•demand for oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•our exploration and drilling prospects;

•the estimates of our proved oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves;

•oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserve potential;

•development and infill drilling potential;

•expansion and other development trends in the oil and natural gas industry;

•our business strategy;

•our plans to maintain or increase the production of oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•our ability ~~and the market's receptiveness, to execute a strategic divestiture process;~~

•~~our ability~~ to utilize the benefits of net operating losses and other deferred tax assets against potential future taxable ~~income, including those that may be generated by a strategic divestiture process;~~

•~~our ability to retain or recruit key personnel throughout a strategic divestiture process;~~income;

•the number of gathering systems and processing plants weour mid-stream investment may plan to construct or acquire;

•volumes and prices for the natural gas ~~we gather~~our mid-stream investment gathers and ~~process;~~processes;

•expansion and growth of our business and operations;

•demand for our drilling rigs and the rates we charge for the rigs;

•our belief that the outcome of our legal proceedings will not materially affect our financial results;

•our ability to timely secure third-party services used in completing our wells;

•our mid-stream investment's ability to transport or convey our oil, NGLs, or natural gas production to existing pipeline systems;

•the impact of federal and state legislative and regulatory actions affecting our costs and increasing operating restrictions or delays and other adverse impacts on our business;

•the possibility of security threats, including terrorist attacks and cybersecurity breaches, against or otherwise affecting our facilities and systems;

•any projected production guidelines we may issue;

•our anticipated capital budgets;

•our financial condition and liquidity;

~~Table of Contents~~

•the number of wells our oil and natural gas segment plans to drill; and

•our estimates of any ceiling test write-downs or other potential asset impairments we may have to record in future ~~periods; and~~periods.

•Table of Contents~~our ability to carry out our post reorganization plans.~~

These statements are based on our assumptions and analyses considering our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions is subject to risks and uncertainties, any one or combination of which could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. Some of these risks and uncertainties are:

•the risk factors discussed in this document and the documents (if any) we incorporate by reference;

•general economic, market, or business conditions;

•the availability and nature of (or lack of) business opportunities we pursue;

•demand for our land drilling services;

•changes in laws and regulations;

•changes in the current geopolitical situation, such as the current conflict occurring between Russia and Ukraine;

•risks relating to financing, including restrictions in our debt agreements and availability and cost of credit;

•risks associated with future weather conditions;

•decreases or increases in commodity prices;

•the amount and terms of our debt;

•future compliance with covenants under our credit agreements;

•pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks, or other public health events, such as COVID-19; and

•other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

You should not construe this list to be exhaustive. We believe the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable. However, there is no assurance that the actions, events, or results expressed in forward-looking statements will occur, or if any of them do, of their timing or what impact they will have on our results of operations or financial condition. Because of these uncertainties, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking information and to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after this document to reflect incorrect assumptions or unanticipated events.

Additional discussion of factors that may affect our forward-looking statements appear elsewhere in this report, including in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Item 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Commodity Price Risk.”

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, references in this report to “Unit”, “company”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or like terms refer to Unit Corporation or, as appropriate, one or more of its subsidiaries. References to our mid-stream segment ~~refers~~refer to Superior Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (Superior) of which we own 50%.

We are primarily engaged in the development, acquisition, and production of oil and natural gas properties, the land contract drilling of natural gas and oil wells, and the buying, selling, gathering, processing, and treating of natural gas. Our operations are all in the United States and are organized in the following three reporting segments: (1) Oil and Natural Gas, (2) Contract Drilling, and (3) Mid-Stream.

Oil and Natural Gas. Carried out by our subsidiary, Unit Petroleum Company (UPC), we develop, acquire, and produce oil and natural gas properties for our own account. Our producing oil and natural gas properties, unproved properties, and related assets are primarily located in Oklahoma and Texas, and to a lesser extent, in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, ~~Montana,~~and North ~~Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.~~Dakota.

Contract Drilling. Carried out by our subsidiary, Unit Drilling Company (UDC), we drill onshore oil and natural gas wells for a wide range of other oil and natural gas companies as well as for our own account. Our drilling operations are primarily located in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, and North Dakota.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated and contain all normal recurring adjustments (including the elimination of all intercompany transactions). Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. The company evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unit Corporation and its subsidiaries. We consolidated the financial position, operating results, and cash flows of Superior prior to March 1, 2022, on which date the Master Services and Operating Agreement (MSA) was amended and restated, with the result that we no longer consolidate Superior's financial position, operating results, and cash flows during periods subsequent to March 1, 2022. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes reflect Superior activity on a consolidated basis for the two months prior to March 1, 2022. See Note 15 – Superior Investment for more information on the Superior investment and consolidation conclusions. All intercompany transactions and accounts between consolidated entities have been eliminated, including activity between Unit and Superior during the two months prior to March 1, 2022. Intercompany transactions and accounts between Unit and Superior subsequent to March 1, 2022 are not eliminated.

Table of Contents

During second quarter 2021, management identified errors in our inter-segment eliminations presentation between oil and natural gas revenues and gas gathering and processing revenues as well as between gas gathering and processing operating costs and general and administrative expenses. The impacts of the errors were not material to any of our prior period financial statements and the current year impacts on the three months ended March 31, 2021 were corrected with a one-time adjustment in the three months ended June 30, 2021. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, oil and natural gas revenues were decreased by $8.6 million with a corresponding increase to gas gathering and processing revenues while general and administrative expenses were increased by $0.9 million with a corresponding decrease to gas gathering and processing operating costs.

Also during second quarter 2021, management identified separate errors in our prior period accrual of oil and natural gas revenues as well as oil and natural gas operating costs. The impacts of the errors were not material to any of our prior period financial statements and the errors were corrected with a one-time adjustment in the three months ended June 30, 2021. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, oil and natural gas revenues were increased by $3.9 million and oil and natural gas operating costs were decreased by $3.4 million.

Certain amounts in this report for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. There was no impact from these reclassifications to consolidated net income/(loss) or shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The FASB issued ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 which provide and clarify optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments within these ASUs will be in effect for a limited time beginning March 12, 2020, and an entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. In April 2022, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date to December 31, 2024, but a final ruling has not been issued. We have not yet elected to use the optional guidance and continue to evaluate the options provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Our revenue streams are reported under 3 segments: oil and natural gas, contract drilling, and mid-stream which is consistent with how we report our segment revenue ~~(as reflected~~ in Note 19 – Industry Segment ~~Information).~~Information. Revenue from the oil and natural gas segment is from sales of our oil and natural gas production. Revenue from the contract drilling segment comes from contracting with upstream companies to drill an agreed-on number of wells or provide drilling rigs and services over an agreed-on period. Revenues from the mid-stream segment are generated from the fees earned for gas gathering and processing services provided to a customer or by selling of hydrocarbons to other mid-stream companies.

Oil and Natural Gas Revenue

Typical types of revenue contracts entered into by our oil and gas segment are Oil Sales Contracts, North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) Contracts, Gas Gathering and Processing Agreements, and revenues earned as the non-operated party with the operator serving as an agent on our behalf under joint operating agreements. Consideration received is variable and settled monthly while contract terms can range from a single month or evergreen to terms of a decade or more. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the sold product which typically occurs at the point of delivery to the customer.

Certain costs, as either a deduction from revenue or as an expense, are determined based on when control of the commodity is transferred to our customer, which would affect our total revenue recognized, but will not affect gross profit. For example, gathering, processing and transportation costs are included as part of the contract price with the customer on transfer of control of the commodity are included in the transaction price, while costs incurred while we are in control of the commodity represent operating costs.

Table of Contents

Contract Drilling Revenue

Contract drilling revenues and expenses are primarily recognized as services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. Payments for mobilization and demobilization activities do not relate to a distinct good or service within the contract and are deferred for ratable recognition when material. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred and any reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as both revenues and direct costs.

Most of our drilling contracts have a term of one year or less and the remaining performance obligations under the contracts without a fixed term are not material.

Mid-Stream Revenue

The typical revenue contracts used by this segment are gas gathering and processing agreements as well as product sales. Superior recognizes sales revenue at the point in time when control transfers to the purchaser, typically at a specified delivery point, based on the contractually agreed upon fixed or index-based price received. Contracts for gas gathering and processing services may include terms for demand fees or shortfall fees. Demand fees or shortfall fees exist in arrangements where a customer agrees to pay a fixed fee for a contractually agreed upon pipeline capacity or shortfall fees for any minimum volumes not utilized, which create performance obligations for each individual period of reservation. Revenue for these fees is recognized once the services have been completed, the customer no longer has access to the contracted capacity, or the likelihood of the customer exercising all or a portion of their remaining rights becomes remote.

NOTE 4 – DIVESTITURES

Oil and Natural Gas

The company initiated an asset divestiture program at the beginning of 2021 to sell certain non-core oil and gas properties and reserves (the “Divestiture Program”). On October 4, 2021, the company announced that it iswas expanding the Divestiture Program to ~~now~~ include the potential sale of additional properties, including up to all of UPC’s oil and gas properties and ~~reserves. On~~reserves, and on January 20, 2022, the company announced that it ~~has~~had retained a financial advisor and launched the process.

During the process, ~~which is still ongoing.~~the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Texas Gulf Coast oil and gas properties.

On July 1, 2022, the company closed on the sale of certain wells and related leases near the Texas Gulf Coast for cash proceeds of $43.7 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments based on an effective date of April 1, 2022. These proceeds will reduce the net book value of our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized as the sale did not result in a significant alteration of the full cost pool.

On March 8, 2022, the company closed on the sale of certain non-core wells and related leases located near the Oklahoma Panhandle for cash proceeds of $4.1 million net of customary closing and post-closing adjustments based on an effective date of December 1, 2021. These proceeds reduced the net book value of our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized as the sale did not result in a significant alteration of the full cost pool.

~~We sold~~On May 6, 2021, the company closed on the sale of substantially all of our wells and the leases related thereto located in Reno and Stafford Counties, Kansas for proceeds of $7.1 million, excluding post-closing adjustments. These proceeds reduced the net book value of our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized as the sale did not result in a significant alteration of the full cost pool.

Net proceeds for the sale of other non-core oil and natural gas assets ~~for net proceeds of $0.5~~totaled $1.9 million and ~~$1.7~~$2.7 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.3 million and $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These proceeds reduced the net book value of our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized as the sales did not result in a significant alteration of the full cost pool.

Contract Drilling

~~We sold~~Proceeds for the sale of non-core contract drilling assets ~~for proceeds of $2.2~~totaled $4.2 million and ~~$2.0~~$1.9 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $6.4 million and $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These proceeds resulted in net gains of ~~$2.1~~$2.0 million and ~~0.6~~$1.6 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.2 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On April 6, 2021, the company finalized the first amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the first amendment, the company reaffirmed its borrowing base of $140.0 million of the RBL Facility, amended certain financial covenants, and received less restrictive terms, among others, as it relates to the disposition of assets and the use of proceeds from those dispositions.

On July 27, 2021, the company finalized the second amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the second amendment, the company obtained confirmation that the Term Loan had been paid in full prior to the amendment date and received one-time waivers related to the disposition of assets.

On October 19, 2021, the company finalized the third amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the third amendment, the company requested, and was granted, a reduction in the RBL Facility borrowing base from $140.0 million to $80.0 million in addition to less restrictive terms as it relates to capital expenditures, required hedges, and the use of proceeds from the disposition of certain assets, while also amending certain financial covenants.

On March 30, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base of $80.0 million was reaffirmed.

On July 1, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base was automatically reduced to $31.3 million as a result of closing the Texas Gulf Coast properties sale discussed in Note 4 - Divestitures.

The maturity date of borrowings under this Exit credit agreement is March 1, 2024. Revolving Loans and Term Loans (each as defined in the Exit credit agreement) may be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans (each as defined in the Exit credit agreement). Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Exit credit agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 525 basis points. Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Exit credit agreement) plus 425 basis points.

The Superior credit agreement required that Superior maintain a Consolidated EBITDA to interest expense ratio for the most-recently ended rolling four quarters of at least 2.50 to 1.00, and a funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00. The agreement also contained several customary covenants that restrict (subject to certain exceptions) Superior’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, make investments, pay distributions, sign sale and leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers or consolidations, sign hedging arrangements, and acquire or dispose of assets.

NOTE 10 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

We are required to record the estimated fair value of the liabilities relating to the future retirement of our long-lived assets. Our oil and natural gas wells are plugged and abandoned when the oil and natural gas reserves in those wells are depleted or the wells are no longer able to produce. The plugging and abandonment liability for a well is recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred (at the time the well is drilled or acquired). None of our assets are restricted for purposes of settling these AROs. All our AROs relate to the plugging costs associated with our oil and gas wells.

NOTE 11 – WORKERS' COMPENSATION

We are liable for workers' compensation benefits for traumatic injuries through our self-insured program to provide income replacement and medical treatment for work-related traumatic injury claims as required by applicable state laws. Workers' compensation laws also compensate survivors of workers who suffer employment related deaths. Our liability for traumatic injury claims is the estimated present value of current workers' compensation benefits, based on our actuarial estimates. Our actuarial calculations are based on a blend of actuarial projection methods and numerous assumptions including claim development patterns, mortality, medical costs and interest rates.

The following table summarizes activity for our workers' compensation liability during the periods indicated:

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES

Commodity Derivatives

We have entered into various types of derivative transactions covering some of our projected natural gas, NGLs, and oil production. These transactions are intended to reduce our exposure to market price volatility by setting the price(s) we will receive for that production. Our decisions on the price(s), type, and quantity of our production subject to a derivative contract are based, in part, on our view of current and future market conditions as well as certain requirements stipulated in the Exit credit agreement. ~~As of March 31, 2022, our~~Our commodity derivative transactions consisted of the following types of ~~hedges:~~hedges as of June 30, 2022:

•Swaps. We receive or pay a fixed price for the commodity and pay or receive a floating market price to the counterparty. The fixed-price payment and the floating-price payment are netted, resulting in a net amount due to or from the counterparty.

•Collars. A collar contains a fixed floor price (put) and a ceiling price (call). If the market price exceeds the call strike price or falls below the put strike price, we receive the fixed price and pay the market price. If the market price is between the call and the put strike price, no payments are due from either party.

We do not engage in derivative transactions for speculative purposes and have not designated any of our hedges for hedge accounting purposes. We are not required to post any cash collateral with our counterparties and no collateral has been posted as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

This disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made under accounting guidance for financial instruments. We have determined the estimated fair values by using market information and certain valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Using different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on our estimated fair value amounts.

The inputs available determine the valuation technique that we use to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in the measurement. The levels are summarized as follows:

Table of Contents

•Level 1—observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2—other observable pricing inputs, such as quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, including inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3—generally unobservable inputs which are developed based on the best information available and may include our own internal data or estimates about how market participants would value such assets and liabilities.

~~Table of Contents~~

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current assets, and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 financial liabilities.

Commodity Derivatives. We measure the fair values of our crude oil and natural gas swaps and collars using estimated discounted cash flow calculations based on the NYMEX futures index. We consider these Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy as the inputs in the model are substantially observable over the term of the commodity derivative contract and there is a wide availability of quoted market prices for similar commodity derivative contracts.

We determined that the non-performance risk regarding our commodity derivative counterparties was immaterial based on our valuation at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Warrant Liability. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of the warrants. Key inputs for the Black-Scholes model include the stock price, exercise price, expected term, risk-free rate, volatility, and dividend yield. We consider this a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy as estimated volatility is generally unobservable and requires management's estimation.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

ARO. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of AROs include plugging costs and remaining reserve lives. A summary of the company’s ARO activity is presented in Note 10 – Asset Retirement Obligations.

~~Table of Contents~~

Stock-Based Compensation. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option grants while the value of our restricted stock grants is based on the grant date closing stock price. Key assumptions for the Black-Scholes models include the stock price, exercise price, expected term, risk-free rate, volatility, and dividend yield. We consider this a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy as estimated volatility is generally unobservable and requires management's estimation.

Finance Leases. During 2014, Superior entered into finance lease agreements for 20 compressors with initial terms of seven years and an option to purchase the assets at 10% of their then fair market value at the end of the term. These finance leases were discounted using annual rates of 4.0% and the underlying assets ~~are~~were included in gas gathering and processing equipment. Superior purchased the leased assets for $3.0 million in May 2021.

NOTE 15 – SUPERIOR INVESTMENT

On April 3, 2018, we sold 50% of the ownership interest in Superior to SP Investor Holdings, LLC (SP Investor), a holding company jointly owned by OPTrust, and funds managed and/or advised by Partners Group, a global private markets investment manager. Superior is governed and managed under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (Agreement) and Amended and Restated Master Services and Operating Agreement (MSA). The MSA was between our wholly-owned subsidiary, SPC Midstream Operating, L.L.C. (the Operator), and Superior. As the Operator, we provided services, such as operations and maintenance support, accounting, legal, and human resources to Superior for a monthly service fee of $0.3 million. Superior's creditors have no recourse to our general credit. Unit is not a party to and does not guarantee Superior's credit agreement. The obligations under Superior's credit agreement are secured by, among other things, mortgage liens on certain of Superior’s processing plants and gathering systems.

Distributions. The Agreement specifies how future distributions are to be allocated among Unit Corporation and SP Investor (the Members). Distributions from Available Cash (as defined in the Agreement) were generally split evenly between the Members prior to December 31, 2021, when the three-year period for Unit's commitment to spend $150.0 million (Drilling Commitment Amount) to drill wells in the Granite Wash/Buffalo Wallow area ended. The total amount spent by Unit towards the Drilling Commitment Amount was $24.6 million. Accordingly, SP Investor will receive 100% of Available Cash distributions related to periods subsequent to December 31, 2021 until the $72.7 million Drilling Commitment Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Agreement) is satisfied.

Superior paid cash distributions of $9.5 million to each of the Members in January 2022 representing Available Cash generated during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and paid ~~$10.5 million of~~ distributions to SP Investor of $10.5 million in April 2022 representing Available Cash generated during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $13.9 million in July 2022 representing Available Cash generated during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The distributions paid to SP Investor in ~~April~~July 2022 reduced the remaining Drilling Commitment Adjustment Amount to ~~$62.2~~$48.2 million.

Distributions paid by Superior during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $24.7 million. Unit and SP Investor each received 50% of these distributions.

Sale Event. After April 1, 2023, either Member may initiate a sale process of Superior to a third-party or a liquidation of Superior's assets (Sale Event). In a Sale Event, the Agreement generally requires cumulative distributions to SP Investor in excess of its original $300.0 million investment sufficient to provide SP Investor a 7% internal rate of return on its capital contributions to Superior before any liquidation distribution is made to Unit. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, liquidation distributions paid first to SP Investor of ~~$358.2~~$353.7 million would be required for SP Investor to reach its 7% Liquidation IRR Hurdle at which point Unit would then be entitled to receive up to ~~$358.2~~$353.7 million of the remaining liquidation distributions to satisfy Unit's 7% Liquidation IRR Hurdle with any remaining liquidation distributions paid as outlined within the Agreement.

Consolidation. From April 3, 2018 to March 1, 2022, we treated Superior as a variable interest entity (VIE) because the equity holders as a group (Unit Corporation and SP Investor) lacked the power to control without the Operator. The Agreement and MSA gave us the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect Superior's operating performance through common control of the Operator. Accordingly, Unit was considered the primary beneficiary and consolidated the financial position, operating results, and cash flows of Superior.

We subsequently account for our investment in Superior as an equity method investment using the hypothetical liquidation book value (HLBV) method, which is a balance sheet approach that calculates the change in the hypothetical amount Unit and SP Investor would be entitled to receive if Superior were liquidated at book value at the end of each period, adjusted for any contributions made and distributions received during the period. We recognized no equity earnings from our investment in Superior during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Estimated Fair Value of Equity Method Investment in Superior. As of the Effective Date, in conjunction with fresh start accounting under ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations, the estimated fair value of the net equity attributable to Unit's ownership interest in Superior was ~~$14.8 million.~~$14.8 million. Since then, Unit has received cumulative distributions from Superior of $32.6 million, which were recognized as net income attributable to Unit under the HLBV method. As of March 1, 2022, upon deconsolidation of Superior, the fair value of our retained equity method investment in Superior was estimated at $1.7 million. To estimate this fair value, we simulated paths for Superior's total equity value through the potential sales process initiation date using a Geometric Brownian Motion. The expected value (i.e., average of all simulations) of each security class was then discounted to present value using the relevant risk-free rate. The simulations reflect forecasted future cash distributions as impacted by the Drilling Commitment Adjustment Amount described above, as well as the future liquidation preference of each investor in a potential Sale Event also as described above. We consider this a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy as the discounted simulation models require the use of significant unobservable inputs.

We recognized a $13.1 million loss on deconsolidation during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as the difference between the $1.7 million estimated fair value of our retained equity method investment in Superior as of March 1, 2022 and Superior's net equity attributable to Unit's ownership interest prior to deconsolidation.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

We manage our exposure to environmental liabilities on properties to be acquired by identifying existing problems and assessing the potential liability. We also conduct periodic reviews, on a company-wide basis, to identify changes in our environmental risk profile. These reviews evaluate whether there is a probable liability, its amount, and the likelihood that the liability will be incurred. Any potential liability is determined by considering, among other matters, incremental direct costs of any likely remediation and the proportionate cost of employees expected to devote significant time directly to any possible remediation effort. As it relates to evaluations of purchased properties, depending on the extent of an identified environmental problem, we may exclude a property from the acquisition, require the seller to remediate the property to our satisfaction, or agree to assume liability for the remediation of the property.

Table of Contents

We have not historically experienced significant environmental liability while being a contract driller since the greatest portion of that risk is borne by the operator. Any liabilities we have incurred have been small and were resolved while the drilling rig was on the location. Those costs were in the direct cost of drilling the well.

Litigation

The company is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business which may include environmental, health and safety matters, commercial disputes with customers, or more routine employment related claims. The company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As new information becomes available or because of legal or administrative rulings in similar matters or a change in applicable law, the company's conclusions regarding the probability of outcomes and the amount of estimated loss, if any, may change. Although we are insured against various risks, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of that insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.

In February 2021, UPC finalized a settlement agreement for $2.1 million related to a well drilled in Beaver County, Oklahoma during 2013. Certain operational issues arose and one of the working interest owners in the well filed a lawsuit claiming that UPC’s actions violated its duties under the joint operating agreement and caused damages to the owners in the well. The case went to trial in January 2019 and the jury issued a verdict in favor of the working interest owner, awarding $2.4 million in damages, including pre- and post-judgment interest. UPC appealed the verdict and finalized the settlement agreement while the case was pending review in the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals.

NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the company’s effective income tax rate was 0.0% which differs from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to changes in, and continued need of, our full valuation allowance, changes in the warrant liability valuation, and state income taxes.

We concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance, reducing the net deferred tax asset to zero. We maintained this conclusion as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods and it will remain until we can conclude that the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future events or new evidence which may lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not its net deferred tax assets will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, sustained significant improvements in commodity prices, a sustained significant increase in rig utilization and/or rates, a material and sizable asset acquisition or disposition, and taxable events that could result from one or more future potential transactions. The valuation allowance does not prohibit the company from utilizing the tax attributes if the company recognizes taxable income. As long as we continue to conclude that the valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets is necessary, the company will not have significant deferred income tax expense or benefit.

As of December 31, 2021, the company ~~has~~had an expected federal net operating loss carryforward of $385.5 million after consideration of the tax attribute reductions of IRC Section 108, finalization of the company’s 2020 federal income tax return, and pending finalization of the company's 2021 federal income tax return of which $190.5 million is subject to expiration between 2036 and 2037. As of December 31, 2021, our tax basis in UPC's properties was approximately $475.0 million.

The company in the ordinary course of business, paid royalties, or lease bonuses, primarily due to its status as successor in interest to prior transactions and as operator of the wells involved and, sometimes, as lessee, regarding certain wells in which Mr. Peyton, members of Mr. Peyton's family, and Peyton Royalties, LP have an interest. Such payments totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 19 – INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have 3 main business segments offering different products and services within the energy industry:

•Oil and natural gas - the oil and natural gas segment is engaged in the acquisition, development, and production of oil, NGLs, and natural gas properties.

•Contract drilling - the contract drilling segment is engaged in the land contract drilling of oil and natural gas wells.

•Mid-Stream - the mid-stream segment buys, sells, gathers, processes, and treats natural gas and NGLs for third parties and for our own account. We presently own 50% of this subsidiary, and subsequent to the deconsolidation of Superior as of March 1, 2022 (as discussed in Note 2 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15 - Superior Investment), we will continue to include our equity method investment in Superior and related earnings in our mid-stream segment.

We evaluate each consolidated segment’s performance based on its operating income, which is defined as operating revenues less operating expenses and depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment. We have no oil and natural gas production or other operations outside the United States.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following discussion should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report and in Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

We operate, manage, and analyze the results of our operations through our three principal business segments:

•Oil and Natural Gas – carried out by our subsidiary UPC. This segment produces, develops, ~~acquires,~~ and ~~produces~~acquires oil and natural gas properties for our own account.

•Contract Drilling – carried out by our subsidiary UDC. This segment contracts to drill onshore oil and natural gas wells for others and for our oil and natural gas segment.

•Mid-Stream – carried out by Superior and its subsidiaries. This segment buys, sells, gathers, processes, and treats natural gas and NGLs for third parties and for our own account. We hold a 50% investment in Superior.

Oil and Natural Gas

In our oil and natural gas segment, we are optimizing production and converting non-producing reserves to producing with selective drilling ~~activities in core areas. The company initiated an asset divestiture program at the beginning~~activities. We also anticipate continuing to hedge a portion of 2021 to sell certain non-core oil and gas properties and reserves (the “Divestiture Program”). On October 4, 2021, the company announced that it is expanding the Divestiture Program to now include the potential sale of additional properties, including up to all of UPC’s oil and gas properties and reserves. On January 20, 2022, the company announced that it has retained a financial advisor and launched the process, which is still ongoing.our future production depending on future market pricing among other factors.

Contract Drilling

In our contract drilling segment, we are focused on ~~increasing~~maintaining utilization of our BOSS and SCR drilling rigs in a safe and efficient manner. All 14 of our BOSS drilling rigs ~~and certain SCR rigs that are either currently under contract or candidates for future upgrades. Of the 21 rigs available for use, 16~~ are currently ~~working, one is contracted~~operating in addition to ~~start operations during the second quarter~~three of ~~2022, and the remaining four will be considered for upgrade and marketing as future conditions warrant.~~our SCR drilling rigs. We ~~also~~ continue to ~~seek~~evaluate opportunities to ~~divest non-core, idle~~place one or more of our four non-operating SCR drilling ~~equipment.~~rigs back in service.

Mid-Stream

In our mid-stream segment, Superior is focused on continuing to generate predictable free cash flows with limited exposure to commodity prices in addition to seeking business development opportunities in its core areas utilizing the Superior credit agreement (which Unit is not a party to and does not guarantee) or other financing sources that are available to it. We hold a 50% investment in Superior, and subsequent to the deconsolidation of Superior as of March 1, 2022, we report our ownership interest as an equity method investment. The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations pertaining to our mid-stream segment inas of the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 relates to the two months of consolidated results prior to deconsolidation as of March 1, 2022.

Recent Developments

Commodity Price Environment and COVID-19 Pandemic

Our success depends, among other things, on prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production, the demand for oil, natural gas, and NGLs, and the demand for our drilling rigs which influences the amounts we can charge for those drilling rigs. While our operations are all within the United States, events outside the United States affect us and our industry, including political and economic uncertainty as well as geopolitical activity.

We are continuously monitoring the current and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any new variants, on our business. This includes how it has and may continue to impact our operations, financial results, liquidity, customers, employees, and vendors as new COVID-19 variants may have undetermined impacts to our business. In response to the pandemic, we have implemented various measures to ensure we are conducting our business in a safe and secure manner.

Stock Repurchases

In June 2021, we repurchased an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our common stock from the Lenders (as defined in Note 9 - Long-Term Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities) which received these shares as an exit fee during our reorganization. The Lenders were paid $15.00 per share for their respective shares, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $9.0 million.

In June 2021, the company's board of directors (the Board) authorized repurchasing up to $25.0 million of the company’s outstanding common stock. The Board subsequently authorized increases to the authorized repurchases up to $50.0 million in October 2021 and then up to $100.0 million in June 2022. The repurchases will be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other available means. The company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the repurchase program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time without prior notice. As of June 30, 2022, we had repurchased a total of 1,519,392 shares under the repurchase program at an average share price of $36.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $54.7 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, we have repurchased an additional 75,000 shares under the repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we also repurchased 78,000 shares in a privately negotiated transaction at a share price of $19.07 which were not part of the repurchase program.

The cumulative number of shares repurchased as of June 30, 2022 totaled 2,197,392.

Superior MSA and LLCA amendments

Effective March 1, 2022, the employees of the Operator were transferred to Superior and the MSA was amended and restated to remove the operating services the Operator was providing to Superior. There was no change to the monthly service fee for shared services. We no longer consolidate the financial position, operating results, and cash flows of Superior as of, and subsequent to, March 1, 2022. We recognized a $13.1 million loss on deconsolidation during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 as the difference between the $1.7 million estimated fair value of our retained equity method investment in Superior as of March 1, 2022 and Superior's net equity attributable to Unit's ownership interest prior to deconsolidation. We subsequently account for our investment in Superior as an equity method investment using the hypothetical liquidation book value (HLBV) method which is a balance sheet approach that calculates the change in the hypothetical amount Unit and SP Investor would be entitled to receive if Superior were liquidated at book value at the end of each period, adjusted for any contributions made and distributions received during the period.

Warrants

Each holder of Unit common stock outstanding ~~("Old~~(Old Common ~~Stock")~~Stock) before the September 3, 2020 emergence from bankruptcy ~~("Emergence Date")~~(Emergence Date) that did not opt out of the release under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization filed with the bankruptcy court on June 9, 2020 is entitled to receive 0.03460447 warrants for every share of Old Common Stock owned. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of company common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement. The warrants expire on the earliest of (i) September 3, 2027, (ii) consummation of a Cash Sale (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the company has issued 1,822,203 warrants. See Note 5 - Capital Stock for additional discussion on warrant provisions.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Summary

Our near-term and long-term financial condition and liquidity primarily depend on the cash flow from our operations and credit agreement borrowings. The principal factors determining our cash flow from operations are:

•the amount of natural gas, oil, and NGLs we produce;

•the prices we receive for our natural gas, oil, and NGLs production;

•the utilization of our drilling rigs and the rates we receive for those drilling rigs; and

Table of Contents

•the fees and margins that Superior obtains from its natural gas gathering and processing contracts.

We expect that cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and available borrowing capacity under the Exit credit agreement will be adequate to support our working capital, capital expenditures, potential dividend distributions, discretionary stock repurchases, and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and we are not aware of any indications that they will not be adequate for the foreseeable periods thereafter.

The table below summarizes cash flow activity during the periods indicated:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our operating cash flow is primarily influenced by the prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production, the volume of oil, NGLs, and natural gas we produce, settlements of commodity derivative contracts, third-party utilization of our drilling rigs and Superior's mid-stream services, and the rates charged for those drilling and mid-stream services. Our cash flows from operating activities are also affected by changes in working capital.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 increased by ~~$15.5~~$14.2 million as compared to the first ~~three~~six months of 2021 primarily due to increased operating profit ~~in all three~~from our oil and natural gas and contract drilling segments, partially offset by higher payments on derivative settlements, ~~and~~ net changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and ~~disbursements.~~disbursements, and lower operating profit from our mid-stream segment reflecting the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We ~~have historically dedicated~~anticipate using a ~~substantial~~ portion of our free cash flows for capital ~~budgets~~expenditures related to our ~~exploration for~~development and production of oil, NGLs, and natural gas. These expenditures are necessary to off-set the inherent production declines typically experienced in oil and gas wells. Although we have curtailed our spending in recent years, we expect the majority of future capital budgets to be focused on low cost capital projects to enhance production and reserves in this favorable price environment.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities decreased by ~~$14.6~~$21.5 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 compared to the first ~~three~~six months of 2021 primarily due to the deconsolidation of Superior's cash and cash equivalents, ~~and~~ higher capital expenditures, ~~partially offset by higher~~and lower proceeds received from the disposition of non-core assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

A portion of future cash flows and cash and cash equivalents may be used for future shareholder return activities, including stock repurchases and cash distributions.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$88.3~~$115.6 million and no outstanding borrowings under the Exit credit agreement.

Credit Agreements

Exit Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, under the terms of the Plan, the company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the Exit credit agreement), providing for a $140.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (RBL Facility) and a $40.0 million senior secured term loan facility, among (i) the company, UDC, and UPC (together, the Borrowers), (ii) the guarantors party thereto, including the company and all of its subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date (other than Superior Pipeline Company, L.L.C. and its subsidiaries), (iii) the lenders party thereto from time to time (Lenders), and (iv) BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent). The maturity date of borrowings under this Exit credit agreement is March 1, 2024.

Our Exit credit agreement is primarily used for working capital purposes as it limits the amount that can be borrowed for capital expenditures. These limitations restrict future capital projects using the Exit credit agreement. The Exit credit agreement also requires that proceeds from the disposition of certain assets be used to repay amounts outstanding.

On April 6, 2021, the company finalized the first amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the first amendment, the company reaffirmed its borrowing base of $140.0 million of the RBL, amended certain financial covenants, and received less restrictive terms, among others, as it relates to the disposition of assets and the use of proceeds from those dispositions.

On October 19, 2021, the company finalized the third amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the third amendment, the company requested, and was granted, a reduction in the RBL borrowing base from $140.0 million to $80.0 million in addition to less restrictive terms as it relates to capital expenditures, required hedges, and the use of proceeds from the disposition of certain assets, while also amending certain financial covenants.

On March 30, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base of $80.0 million was reaffirmed.

On July 1, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base was automatically reduced to $31.3 million as a result of closing the Texas Gulf Coast properties sale discussed in Note 4 - Divestitures.

Superior Credit Agreement. On May 10, 2018, Superior signed a five-year, $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the credit amount up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions (Superior credit agreement). On April 29, 2022, Superior entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a four-year, $135.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the credit amount up to $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions (Amended Superior credit agreement).

Capital Requirements

Oil and Natural Gas Segment Dispositions, Acquisitions, and Capital Expenditures. Most of our capital expenditures for this segment are discretionary and directed toward growth. Our decisions to increase our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves through acquisitions or through drilling depends on the prevailing or expected market conditions, potential return on investment, future drilling potential, and opportunities to obtain financing, which provide us flexibility in deciding when and if to incur these costs. We participated in the completion of ~~five~~16 gross wells ~~0.06~~(0.64 net ~~wells~~wells) drilled by other operators induring the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 compared to ~~one~~10 gross ~~well 0.17~~wells (0.77 net ~~wells drilled by other operators in which we participated in~~wells) during the first ~~three~~six months of 2021.

Derivative Activities

Commodity Derivatives. Our commodity derivatives are intended to reduce our exposure to price volatility and manage price risks. Our decision on the type and quantity of our production and the price(s) of our derivative(s) is based, in part, on our view of current and future market conditions. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, based on our ~~first~~second quarter 2022 average daily production, the approximated percentages of our production under derivative contracts are as follows:


		2022	2023		2022	2023
Daily oil production	Daily oil production	58%	29%	Daily oil production	86%	45%
Daily natural gas production	Daily natural gas production	56%	31%	Daily natural gas production	75%	36%

Using derivative instruments involves the risk that the counterparties cannot meet the financial terms of the transactions. We considered this non-performance risk regarding our counterparties and our own non-performance risk in our derivative valuation at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and determined there was no material risk at that time. The fair value of the net liabilities we had with Bank of Oklahoma, our only commodity derivative counterparty, was ~~$101.6~~$66.1 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Warrants. ~~We recognize~~Prior to the determination of the initial exercise price, we recognized the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in the liability reported as ~~loss~~gain (loss) on change in fair value of warrants in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The liability will continue to be adjusted to fair value at each reporting period until the warrants meet the definition of an equity instrument, at which time they will be reported as shareholders' equity and no longer subject to future fair value adjustments. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the company has determined that the initial exercise price of the Warrants shall be $63.74. On April 7, 2022, the company delivered notice of the initial $63.74 exercise price toresulting in the ~~Warrant Agent and~~warrants meeting the ~~Warrants became exercisable for shares~~definition of an equity instrument. Accordingly, we recognized the change in the fair value of the ~~company’s common stock.~~warrant liability in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and reclassified the $49.1 million warrant liability to capital in excess of par value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 7, 2022. The warrants will continue to be reported as capital in excess of par and are no longer subject to future fair value adjustments. On or about April 25, 2022, the warrants began trading over-the-counter under the symbol "UNTCW".

Table of Contents

Oil and Natural Gas

Oil and natural gas revenues increased $41.1 million or 69% during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower production volumes. Including derivatives settled, average oil prices increased 16% to $56.28 per barrel, average natural gas prices increased 42% to $4.24 per Mcf, and NGLs prices increased 93% to $34.72 per barrel. Oil production decreased 21%, natural gas production decreased 10%, and NGLs production decreased 6%. The decrease in volumes was due to normal well production declines and divestitures of producing properties which have not been offset by new drilling or acquisitions.

Oil and natural gas operating costs increased $11.3 million or 69% between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to increased production taxes on higher revenues, employee separation benefits, and lease operating expenses.

Contract Drilling

Drilling revenues increased $15.6 million or 86% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in the average number of rigs in use from 10.0 in the second quarter of 2021 to 16.3 in the second quarter of 2022 as well as increases to the average dayrates on daywork contracts of 9% and 30% on BOSS rigs and SCR rigs, respectively.

Drilling operating costs increased $11.7 million or 83% between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to an increase in the average number of operating rigs as well as $2.3 million of transportation and start up costs associated with bringing stacked rigs back into service.

Mid-Stream

Our mid-stream revenues decreased $66.3 million or 100% during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to the absence of activity as a result of the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.

Operating costs decreased $55.2 million or 100% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to the absence of activity as a result of the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.

General and Administrative

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million or 52% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to employee separation benefits.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $0.4 million between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to a 100% decrease in average long-term debt outstanding. Our average debt outstanding decreased $62.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to payments made under the Exit credit agreement and the deconsolidation of Superior's outstanding long-term debt.

Reorganization Items, Net

Reorganization items, net represent any of the expenses, gains, and losses incurred subsequent to and as a direct result of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Gain (Loss) on Derivatives

The $45.0 million favorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 is primarily due to favorable pricing changes on unsettled commodity derivative positions and new commodity derivative positions executed during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher settlement payments driven by higher average pricing.

Table of Contents

Loss on Change in Fair Value of Warrants

The $10.9 million favorable change in gain (loss) on change in fair value of warrants between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 is primarily due to changes in the underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value, including entity value, volatility, duration to exercise, and other inputs.

Income Tax Benefit

We did not record an income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2022 or during the second quarter of 2021 due to the company's full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.

Oil and Natural Gas

Oil and natural gas revenues increased ~~$32.6~~$73.7 million or ~~59% in~~64% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 as compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 primarily due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower production volumes. ~~In the first quarter of 2022, as compared~~Including derivatives settled, average oil prices increased 22% to ~~the first quarter of 2021, oil~~$58.23 per barrel, average natural gas prices increased 32% to $3.78 per Mcf, and NGLs prices increased 88% to $33.82 per barrel. Oil production decreased 2%11%, natural gas production decreased ~~12%~~11%, and NGLs production decreased 4%5%. The decrease in volumes was due to normal well production declines and divestitures of producing properties which have not been offset by new drilling or acquisitions. ~~Including derivatives settled, average oil prices increased 26% to $59.72 per barrel, average natural gas prices increased 19% to $3.31 per Mcf, and NGLs prices increased 83% to $32.91 per barrel.~~

Oil and natural gas operating costs increased ~~4.0~~$15.3 million or ~~20%~~42% between the comparative first ~~quarters~~six months of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to increased production taxes on higher revenues, ~~as well as increased~~higher lease operating expenses, and employee ~~compensation costs.~~separation benefits.

Contract Drilling

Drilling revenues increased ~~$13.2~~$28.8 million or ~~84% in~~85% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 ~~versus~~compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2021. The increase was driven~~2021 primarily bydue to an increase in the average number of rigs in use from ~~9.4 in~~9.7 during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 to ~~15.5 in~~15.9 during the first ~~quarter~~six months of ~~2022.~~2022 as well as increases to the average dayrates on daywork contracts of 6% and 25% on BOSS rigs and SCR rigs, respectively.

Drilling operating costs increased ~~$14.4~~$26.0 million or ~~121%~~100% between the comparative first ~~quarters~~six months of 2022 and ~~2021. The change was~~2021 primarily due to an increase in the average number of operating rigs as well as $6.6 million of transportation and ~~the associated~~ start up costs associated with bringing stacked rigs back into service.

Mid-Stream

Our mid-stream revenues ~~increased $23.6~~decreased $42.7 million or ~~40% in~~34% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 as compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 primarily due to the absence of activity subsequent to March 1, 2022 as a result of the deconsolidation of Superior, partially offset by higher gas, NGL, and condensate prices as well as higher ~~volumes.~~volumes during the consolidated period. Gas processed volumes per day increased ~~21%~~18% while gas gathered volumes per day increased ~~16%~~18% between the comparative ~~quarters~~first six months of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to connecting new wells as well as new volumes from the processing plant and gathering system acquired in November ~~2021, partially offset by the absence of March 2022 activity as a result of the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.~~2021.

Operating costs ~~increased 24.7~~decreased $30.6 million or ~~50% in~~29% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 primarily due to the absence of activity subsequent to March 1, 2022 as a result of the deconsolidation of Superior, partially offset by higher gas, NGL, and condensate prices as well as higher purchase volumes related to the processing plant and gathering system acquired in November ~~2021, partially offset by the absence of March 2022 activity as a result of the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.~~2021.

General and Administrative

Corporate general and administrative expenses ~~decreased $0.4~~increased $2.2 million or ~~6% in~~19% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 as compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 primarily due to ~~the absence of~~employee separation ~~benefits expensed in the first quarter of 2021.~~benefits.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $2.4 million between the comparative first ~~quarters~~six months of 2022 and 2021 primarily due to a ~~86%~~92% decrease in average long-term debt outstanding and a decrease in the average interest ~~rate. Our average interest~~ rate ~~decreased~~ from ~~6.8% in~~6.7% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 to ~~0.3% in~~2.2% during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022. Our average debt outstanding decreased ~~$80.5~~$71.5 million induring the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 primarily due to payments made under the Exit credit agreement and the deconsolidation of Superior's outstanding long-term debt, partially offset by borrowings under the Superior credit agreement prior to deconsolidation.

Reorganization Items, Net

Reorganization items, net represent any of the expenses, gains, and losses incurred subsequent to and as a direct result of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

~~Loss on Derivatives~~

~~Loss on derivatives increased by $41.2 million primarily due to increases in the forward prices used to estimate the fair value of our commodity derivatives.~~

Table of Contents

Gain (Loss) on Derivatives

The $3.8 million favorable change in gain (loss) on derivatives between the comparative first six months of 2022 and 2021 is primarily due to less unfavorable pricing changes on unsettled commodity derivative positions and new commodity derivative positions executed during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher settlement payments driven by higher average pricing.

Loss on Change in Fair Value of Warrants

~~Loss~~The $25.7 million unfavorable change in loss on change in fair value of warrants ~~increased by $36.6 million~~between the comparative second quarters of 2022 and 2021 is primarily due to changes in the underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value, including entity value, volatility, duration to exercise, and other inputs.

Loss on Deconsolidation of Superior

Loss on deconsolidation of $13.1 million during the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 represents the loss recognized on the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation of Superior.

Income Tax Benefit

We did not record an income tax benefit ~~in the~~during first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022 or induring the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021 due to the company's full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset. ~~We paid no income taxes in the first quarter of 2022.~~

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our operations are exposed to market risks primarily because of changes in commodity prices and interest rates.

Commodity Price Risk. Our major market risk exposure is in the prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production. These prices are primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and market prices applicable to our NGLs and natural gas production. Historically, these prices have fluctuated and we expect this to continue. The prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas also affect the demand for our drilling rigs and the amount we can charge for the use of our drilling rigs. Based on our first ~~three~~six months of 2022 production, a $0.10 per Mcf change in what we are paid for our natural gas production, without the effect of hedging, would result in a corresponding $0.2 million per month ($2.6 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow. A $1.00 per barrel change in our oil price, without the effect of hedging, would have a $0.1 million per month ($~~1.7~~1.4 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow and a $1.00 per barrel change in our NGLs prices, without the effect of hedging, would have a $0.2 million per month ($2.5 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow.

We use derivative transactions to manage the risk associated with price volatility. Our decisions regarding the amount and prices at which we choose to enter into a contract for certain of our products is based, in part, on our view of current and future market conditions. The transactions we use include financial price swaps under which we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk. Our interest rate exposure relates to our long-term debt under our Exit credit agreement as its borrowings carry variable interest rates. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. See Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities for more information on the Exit credit agreement.

~~Table of Contents~~

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) (Disclosure Controls) or our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) of the Exchange Act) will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there is no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to an error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We monitor our Disclosure Controls and internal control over financial reporting and make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and internal control over financial reporting will be modified as systems change, and conditions warrant.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
