(Unaudited)

2022

(1) Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of PrimeEnergy Resources Corporation (“PEC”PrimeEnergy” or the “Company”) have not been audited by independent public accountants. Pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations, the accompanying interim financial statements do not include all disclosures presented in annual financial statements and the reader should refer to the Company’s Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the condensed consolidated results of operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the condensed consolidated results of cash flows and equity for the nine
six
months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022 and 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, PrimeEnergy’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Description of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies of its consolidated financial statements contained in PrimeEnergy’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Certain amounts presented in prior period financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. For purposes of disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the statements were issued.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

The FASB issued ASU2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes theRevenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic932-605. Extractivies – Oil and Gas Revenue Recognition.This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increase the usefulness of information in the financial statements regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues. The effective date for ASU2014-09 was delayed through the issuance of ASU2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of theEffective Date,to annual and interim periods beginning in 2018 and is required to be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect (modified retrospective) transition method, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and does not plan on early adopting.

The FASB issued ASU2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of aright-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. It is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. This ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU2016-15 seeks to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU2016-15 and assessing the impact, if any, it may have on its statement of consolidated cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Equity Method and Joint Venture (Topic 323), which states that registrants should consider additional qualitative disclosures if the impact of an issued but not yet adopted ASU is unknown or cannot be reasonably estimated and to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined. Transition guidance in certain issued but not yet adopted ASUs, including Leases and Revenue Recognition, was also updated to reflect this amendment. This guidance is effective immediately. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(5) Other Long-Term Obligations and Commitments:

Operating Leases:

The Company hasnon-cancelableleases office facilities under operating leases primarilyand recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leased assets and liabilities are initially recorded at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. A new finance lease for rentaloffice equipment is included in property and equipment, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities this quarter. As most of the Company’s lease contracts do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average discount rate used was 5.5%. Certain leases may contain variable costs above the minimum required payments and are not included in the
right-of-use
assets or liabilities. Leases may include renewal, purchase or termination options that can extend or shorten the term of the lease. The exercise of those options is at the Company’s sole discretion and is evaluated at inception and throughout the contract to determine if a modification of the lease term is required. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Operating lease costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $306 thousand. Cash payments included in the operating lease cost for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $324 thousand. The weighted-average remaining operating lease terms is 9 months.

Asset retirement obligation at June 30, 2022  $13,799 
      
The Company’s liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive life of wells and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. Revisions to the asset retirement obligation are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and accretion of discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long life of most of the Company’s wells, the costs to ultimately retire the wells may vary significantly from previous estimates.

(6) Contingent Liabilities:

The Company, as managing general partner of the affiliated Partnerships, is responsible for all Partnership activities, including the drilling of development wells and the production and sale of oil and gas from productive wells. The Company also provides the administration, accounting and tax preparation work for the Partnerships, and is liable for all debts and liabilities of the affiliated Partnerships, to the extent that the assets of a given limited Partnership are not sufficient to satisfy its obligations. At September 30, 2017, the affiliated Partnerships have established cash reserves in excess of their debts and liabilities and the Company believes these reserves will be sufficient to satisfy Partnership obligations.

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that future expenses, before recoveries from third parties, if any, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. This opinion is based on expenses incurred to date for remediation and compliance with laws and regulations, which have not been material to the Company’s results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these events cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

non-statutory
stock options were granted by the Company to four4 key executive officers for the purchase of shares of common stock.

According to their terms, the options have no expiration date.

The Company purchased such interests in amounts totaling $60,000 and $187,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The derivative contracts were measured based on quotes from the Company’s counterparties. Such quotes have been derived using valuation models that consider various inputs including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward prices for natural gas and crude oil, volatility factors and interest rates, such as a LIBOR curve for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable. These estimates are verified using comparable NYMEX futures contracts or are compared to multiple quotes obtained from counterparties for reasonableness.

The significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 derivative contracts include basis differentials and volatility factors. An increase (decrease) in these unobservable inputs would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value, respectively. The Company does not have access to the specific assumptions used in its counterparties’ valuation models. Consequently, additional disclosures regarding significant Level 3 unobservable inputs were not provided.

Derivative Instruments:

The Company is exposed to commodity price and interest rate risk, and management considers periodically the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability resulting from the commodity price changes and interest rate fluctuations. Futures, swaps and options are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk inherent in the Company’s oil and gas production operations. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its commodity basedcommodity-based derivatives. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings.

Interest rate swap derivatives are treated as cash-flow hedges and are used to fix our floating interest rates on existing debt. Settlements of the swaps, which began in January 2014 and concluded in January 2016, was recognized within interest expense. There were no remaining interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.The value of interest rate swaps if applicable, would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our results of operations and our present financial condition. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material.

OVERVIEW

We are an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in acquiring, developing, and producing oil and natural gas. We presently own producing and
non-producing
properties located primarily in Texas, Oklahoma,and Oklahoma. We also own a 12.5% over-riding royalty interest in over 30,000 acres in the state of West Virginia, New Mexico, and Colorado.Virginia. In addition, we own a substantial amount of well servicing equipment.well-servicing equipment and, through a wholly owned offshore company, a
60-mile-long
pipeline offshore on the shallow shelf of Texas. We also hold a 30% interest in a limited partnership which owns a 138,000 square foot retail shopping center on ten acres in Prattville, Alabama. All of our oil and gas properties and interests are located in the United States. Assets in our principal focus areas include mature properties with long-lived reserves and significant development opportunities as well as newer properties with development and exploration potential.

We are the operator of the majority of our developed and undeveloped acreage which is nearly all held by production. In the Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico the Company maintains an acreage position of over 21,160 gross (12,742 net) acres, approximately 92% of which is in Reagan, Upton, Martin and Midland counties of Texas where our current horizontal drilling activity is focused. We believe this acreage has significant resource potential in the Spraberry, Wolfcamp and other intervals for additional horizontal drilling that could support the drilling potential in excess of 400 additional horizontal wells. In Oklahoma we maintain an acreage position of approximately 82,572 gross (12,980 net) acres. Our Oklahoma horizontal development is focused primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grady, and Garvin counties. We believe approximately 2,231 net acres in these counties hold significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 75 new horizontal wells based on an estimate of only two wells per section, per formation ( Woodford & Mississippian ), with our share of such prospective future development being about $42 million based on an average 10.5% ownership level.

Our balanced portfolio of assets positionsposition us well for both the current commodity price environment and future potential upside as we develop our attractive resource opportunities. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from our operations throughand our producingcredit facility.

In addition to developing our oil and natural gas properties, our field services business, and from sales ofnon-core acreage.

The Company willreserves, we continue to actively pursue the acquisition of leasehold acreage and producing properties in areas where we currently operate and believe there is additional exploration and development potential and willproperties. We attempt to assume the position of operator in all such acquisitions. In orderacquisitions of producing properties and will continue to evaluate properties for leasehold acquisition and for exploration and development operations in areas in which we own interests. To diversify and broaden our asset base, we will consider acquiring the assets or stock in other entities and companies in the oil and gas business. Our main objective in making any such acquisitions will be to acquire income producingincome-producing assets so asor developable leasehold acreage to build stockholder value through consistent growth inand development of our oil and gas reserve base on a cost-efficientcost-effective basis.

Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil and gas, the levelsuccess of our acquisition disposition and drilling activities, and the operational performance of our producing properties. We may use derivative instruments to manage our commodity price risk. This practice may prevent us from receiving the full advantage of any increases in oil and gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the derivative agreements and subjects us to the credit risk of the counterparties to such agreements.

RECENT ACTIVITIES

Since all our derivative contracts are accounted for under

mark-to-market
accounting, we expect continued volatility in gains and losses on
mark-to-market
derivative contracts in our consolidated statement of operations as changes occur in the NYMEX price indices.
Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of natural gas and crude oil and our ability to market our production on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by weather conditions, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. In addition, our realized prices are further impacted by our derivative and hedging activities.
We derive our revenue and cash flow principally from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. As a result, our revenues are determined, to a large degree, by prevailing prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. We sell our oil and natural gas on the open market at prevailing market prices or through forward delivery contracts. Because some of our operations are located outside major markets, we are directly impacted by regional prices regardless of Henry Hub, WTI or other major market pricing. The market price for oil, natural gas and NGLs is dictated by supply and demand; consequently, we cannot accurately predict or control the price we may receive for our oil, natural gas and NGLs. Index prices for oil, natural gas and NGL’s have improved since the lows of 2020, however, we expect prices to remain volatile and consequently cannot determine with any degree of certainty what effect increases or decreases in these prices will have on our capital program, production volumes or revenue.
We are the operator of the majority of our developed and undeveloped acreage which is nearly all held by production. In the Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico the Company maintains an acreage position of approximately 17,228 gross (10,720 net) acres, 97% of which is located in Reagan, Upton, Martin, and Midland counties of Texas where our current West Texas horizontal drilling activities are focused. We believe this acreage has significant resource potential in the Spraberry and Wolfcamp intervals for additional horizontal drilling that could support the drilling of as many as 250 additional horizontal wells. In Oklahoma we maintain an acreage position of approximately 47,760 gross (10,410 net) acres. Our Oklahoma horizontal development is focused primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grady, and Garvin counties. We believe approximately 5,800 net acres in these counties hold significant additional resource potential that could support the drilling of as many as 50 new horizontal wells based on an estimate of four wells per multi-section drilling unit, two in the Mississippian and two in the Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate with a working interest in future development, our share of these future capital expenditures would be approximately $34.6 million at an average 10% ownership level.
Future development plans are established based on various factors, including the expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.

In several of our producing regions we have field service groups to service our operated wells and locations as well as third-party operators in the area. These services consist of well service support, site preparation and construction services for drilling and workover operations. Our operations are performed utilizing workover or swab rigs, water transport trucks, saltwater disposal facilities, various land excavating equipment and trucks we own and that are operated by our field employees.
Gulf Coast Region
Our activities in the Gulf Coast region are primarily production and development of our existing operated properties concentrated in east and southeast Texas. This region is managed from our office in Houston, Texas. Principal producing intervals are in the Wilcox, San Miguel, Olmos, and Yegua formations at depths ranging from 3,000 to 12,500 feet. As of December 31, 2021, we had 207 producing wells (105 net) in the Gulf Coast region, of which 137 wells are operated by us. The Average net daily production in our Gulf Coast Region in 2021 was 336 Boe. At December 31, 2021, we had 906 MBoe of proved reserves in the Gulf Coast region, which represented 7% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of over 11,000 gross (3,447 net) acres in this region, primarily in Dimmit and Polk counties. We operate a field service group in this region from a field office in Carrizo Springs, Texas utilizing four workover rigs, twenty-three water transport trucks, two saltwater disposal wells and several trucks and excavating equipment. Services including well service support, site preparation and construction services for drilling and workover operations are provided to third-party operators as well as utilized in our own operated wells and locations. The Company also owns, through its wholly owned offshore company, a
60-mile-long
pipeline on the shallow shelf of Texas that is currently idle, but may someday have value. As of June 30, 2022, the Gulf Coast region has no operated wells in the process of being drilled, no waterfloods in the process of being installed and no other related activities of material importance.
Mid-Continent
Region
Our
Mid-Continent
activities are concentrated in central Oklahoma. This region is managed from our office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. As of December 31, 2021, we had 549 producing wells (189 net) in the
Mid-Continent
area, of which 195 wells are operated by us. Principal producing intervals are in the Roberson, Avant, Skinner, Sycamore, Bromide, McLish, Hunton, Mississippian, Oswego, Red Fork, and Chester formations at depths ranging from 1,100 to 10,500 feet. Average net daily production in our
Mid-Continent
Region in 2021 was 747 Boe. At December 31, 2021, we had 2,383 MBoe of proved reserves in the
Mid-Continent
area, representing 20% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of approximately 47,760 gross (10,410 net) acres in this region, primarily in Canadian, Kingfisher, Grant, Major, and Garvin counties. Our
Mid-Continent
region is actively participating with third-party operators in the horizontal development of lands that include Company owned interests in several counties in the Stack and Scoop plays of Oklahoma where drilling primarily targets reservoirs of the Mississippian and Woodford formations.
In the first half of 2022, in the
Mid-Continent
region, the Company participated with 9.38% interest in the drilling of four horizontal wells in Canadian County, Oklahoma operated by Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
Inc. All four wells have been completed and are online as of August 1
st
. The resulting reserves of this new drilling will be an addition to our 2021
year-end
reserve base.

West Texas Region
Our West Texas activities are concentrated in the Spraberry and Wolfcamp shale plays of the Permian Basin encompassing eight counties in West Texas. The oil produced from these shales is West Texas Intermediate Sweet and the gas is primarily casing-head gas with an average energy content of 1,400 Btu. The horizontal target depths range from 7,600 feet to 12,500 feet. This region is managed from our office in Midland, Texas.
As of December 31, 2021, we had 576 wells (263 net) in the West Texas area, of which 321 wells are operated by us. Average net daily production in Our West Texas Region in 2021 was 2,878 Boe. At December 31, 2021, we had 8,957 MBoe of proved reserves in the West Texas area, or 73% of our total proved reserves. We maintain an acreage position of approximately 17,228 gross (10,720 net) acres in the Permian Basin in West Texas, primarily in Reagan, Upton, Martin, and Midland counties and believe this acreage has significant resource potential for horizontal drilling in the Spraberry, Jo Mill, and Wolfcamp intervals. We operate a field service group in this region utilizing nine workover rigs, four hot oiler trucks, one kill truck, and two roustabout trucks. Services, including well service support, site preparation, and construction services for drilling and workover operations, are provided to third-party operators as well as utilized in our own operated wells and locations.
In the first half of 2022, the Company participated with 10.3% interest in the drilling of four
1.5-mile-long
horizontal wells in Irion County, Texas operated by SEM Operating Company, LLC. All four wells have been drilled and completed and are expected to start production in August of 2022.
In addition to the eight wells drilled in the first half of 2022, the Company has received proposals for 24 new horizontal wells in West Texas: fifteen planned for the second half of 2022 and eleven for the first quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of this year, we expect to participate with 27% interest in the drilling of five
2.5-mile-long
horizontal wells in Martin County, Texas with ConocoPhillips and to participate with 25% interest in the drilling of ten
2-mile-long
horizontals with Hibernia Energy III, LLC. In the first quarter of 2023, we anticipate the start of nine
2.5-mile-long
horizontals with BTA Oil Producers, LLC in Reagan County, and two
3-mile-long
horizontals with Apache Corporation in Upton County. The Company will participate with an average of approximately 42% interest in the BTA wells and 47% in the Apache wells. These proved undeveloped drilling plans were added in 2022 and therefore are not represented in the
year-end
2021 reserves report.
Reserve Information:
Our interests in proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties, including the interests held by the Partnerships, have been evaluated by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. for each of the three years ended December 31, 2021.

In 2019, in West Texas, we participated in the initial three shallow horizontals on our Kashmir tract with one of each of these wells completed in the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry. The Company has 48% interest in two of these wells and 5.3% in one well. All three wells were brought on production in May of 2019.
In 2020, in West Texas we participated in the drilling of seven wells: one for 8.6% interest which was brought into production in July of 2020, and six wells with an average 47.5% interest that were drilled but not completed at
year-end
and therefore classified as Proved Undeveloped in the
year-end
reserve report. The Company invested approximately $8.0 million in these seven wells in 2020. Also in 2020, proved producing reserves were added in West Texas through the addition of 11 horizontal wells completed in Midland County, Texas, in which we receive 0.56% to 1% over-riding royalty interest.
In 2021, in West Texas, we participated with Apache in the drilling of three additional horizontals on the Kashmir Tract in Upton County, Texas and completed these three wells in September of 2021 along with six other wells drilled in 2020 on the same lease that were drilled but uncompleted at
year-end
2020. The Company has an average of 47.8% interest in these nine wells and invested approximately $30 million in these horizontal wells.
In our Oklahoma, Scoop-Stack play, in 2019, we participated in the drilling and completion of six wells on our WM Wallace tract for 7.67% interest, and nine wells, included on our Slash, Osborn, and Leon tracts, with an average 1.34% interest. In addition, three wells drilled in Oklahoma in 2018, were completed in 2019 converting 24 Mboe of reserves to proved developed. Also in Oklahoma, six wells designated as
Shut-in
on December 31, 2018, were brought into production in 2019: five located on our Ruthie tract, and one on our Braum tract.
In 2019, in our Gulf Coast region, we added production through the recompletion of three vertical wells in Polk County, Texas: one operated by the Company in which we have 72.5% interest, and two operated by Unit Petroleum in which the Company owns 2.81% working interest and 3.77% net revenue interest. In 2020, the Company successfully recompleted one additional operated well in the Segno field with a 72.5% interest.
At December 31, 2020, in total, the Company had 3,221 Mboe of proved undeveloped reserves attributable to 13 wells operated by others, 10 of which were drilled but not completed by
year-end
2020, and three that were not drilled until 2021. The three new horizontals along with the six uncompleted wells at
year-end
were brought online in late September and early October of 2021. These successful new wells are on our Kashmir tract in Upton County, Texas operated by Apache Corporation. These nine PUD wells at
year-end
2020 accounted for 3,127 Mboe of the total undeveloped reserves where the Company has an average 47.5% interest and invested approximately $30 million dollars in these wells. The four other PUD wells, drilled but not completed at
year-end
2020, are located in Grady County, Oklahoma and accounted for 95 Mboe of the total undeveloped reserves.    
At December 31, 2021, the Company had 159 Mboe of proved developed
shut-in
reserves attributable to three horizontal wells drilled and completed in Canadian County, Oklahoma in December of 2021, but not yet online. Three of the four wells were successfully completed and online in January, 2022, while one well had completion issues and has been temporarily abandoned. Regarding the four drilled but uncompleted PUD wells in Grady County, Oklahoma noted in the paragraph above, reserves previously attributed to these wells were not included in the 2021
year-end
reserve report as the operator has no near-term plans for their completion.
In the first half of 2022, in our West Texas horizontal drilling program, which beganwe participated with 10.3% interest in 2015, currently includes athe drilling of four horizontal wells with SEM Operating Company and have received proposals for an additional 24 horizontal wells, 15 of those to begin in the fourth quarter of this year. In total, the Company is likely to invest approximately $75 million in these 28 wells. In Oklahoma, thus far in 2022, the Company is participating for 9.38% interest with Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
in the drilling of 28four wells on our Bohlman tract in Canadian County, Oklahoma. These four wells and the four SEM wells in West Texas are anticipated to be online in August of this year. In the first quarter of 2023, we intent to participate with Apache in the drilling of two
3-mile-long
horizontals in Upton County, Texas and with BTA Oil Producers in the drilling of nine 2.5 mile-long horizontals in Reagan County, Texas. Additional drilling and future development plans will be established based on an expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facility.
We employ technologies to establish proved reserves that were drilled, completedhave been demonstrated to provide consistent results capable of repetition. The technologies and placedeconomic data being used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, geologic maps, production data, and well-test data. The estimated reserves of wells with sufficient production history are estimated using appropriate decline curves. Estimated reserves of producing wells with limited production history and for undeveloped locations are estimated using performance data from analogous wells in the area. These wells are considered analogous based on production performance from the same formation and with similar completion techniques.

The PV 10 Value represents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves before income tax, discounted at 10%. Although this measure is not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that the presentation of the PV10 Value is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flow attributable to proved reserves prior to taking into account corporate future income taxes and the current tax structure. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to oil and gas properties. The PV10 of future income taxes represents the sole reconciling item between this
non-GAAP
PV10 Value versus the GAAP measure presented in the standardized measure of discounted cash flow. A reconciliation of these values is presented in the last three columns of the table above. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves after income tax, discounted at 10%.
“Proved developed” oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. “Proved undeveloped” oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Our reserves include amounts attributable to
non-controlling
interests in the Partnerships. These interests represent less than 10% of our reserves.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, product prices are determined using the twelve-month average oil and gas index prices, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average for the first day of the month price for each month, adjusted for oilfield or gas gathering hub and wellhead price differentials (e.g. grade, transportation, gravity, sulfur, and basic sediment and water) as appropriate. Also, in accordance with SEC specifications and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, changes in market prices subsequent to December 31 are not considered.
While it may be reasonably anticipated that the prices received for the sale of our production may be higher or lower than the prices used in this evaluation, as described above, and the operating costs relating to such production may also increase or decrease from existing levels, such possible changes in prices and costs were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this evaluation for the SEC case. Actual volumes produced, prices received and costs incurred may vary significantly from the SEC case.
Natural gas prices, based on the twelve-month average of the first of the month Henry Hub index price, were $3.598 per MMBtu in 2021 as compared to $1.985 per MMBtu in 2020, and $2.581 per MMBtu in 2019. Oil prices, based on the NYMEX first of the month average price, were $66.56 per barrel in 2021 as compared to $39.57 per barrel in 2020, and $55.69 per barrel in 2019. Since January 1, 2021, we have not filed any estimates of our oil and gas reserves with, nor were any such estimates included in any reports to, any federal authority or agency, other than the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RECENT ACTIVITIES
The Company’s activities include development and exploratory drilling. Our strategy is to develop the Company’s extensive oil and gas reserves primarily through horizontal drilling. This strategy includes targeting reservoirs with high initial production rates and cash flow as well as targeting reservoirs with lower initial production rates but with higher expected return on investment. We believe that with today’s technology, horizontal development of our reserves provides superior economic results as compared to vertical development, by delivering higher production rates through greater contact and stimulation of a larger volume of reservoir rock while minimizing the surface footprint required to develop those same reserves.

Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are key components of our business strategy. In 2022, we will continue our focus on preserving financial flexibility and ample liquidity as we manage the risks facing our industry. Our capital budget for the year is reflective of current commodity prices and has been established based on an expectation of available cash flows, with any cash flow deficiencies expected to be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we have done historically to preserve or enhance liquidity, we may adjust our capital program throughout the year, divest

two-mile
horizontal wells operated by Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
in Canadian County, offsetsOklahoma were completed and brought online in January 2022. The Company has an average of 47.5% interest in the nine wells completed with Apache and 11.25% interest in the three wells completed with Ovintiv.
Through the second quarter of 2022, the Company has participated with SEM Operating Company LLC in the drilling of four 7,900’ horizontal wells in Irion County, Texas with 10.3% interest, and participated with Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
Inc in the drilling of four 10,000’-long horizontal wells in Canadian County, Oklahoma with 9.38% interest. All eight of these wells are in the process of being completed and are expected to be producing in August of this year. An additional 15 wells are planned to begin development in the fourth quarter of 2022; five with ConocoPhillips, and ten with Hibernia Energy III. In the first quarter of 2023, we are planning the drilling of two large Pioneer Natural Resources developments, Giddings Ranchhorizontals in Upton County, Texas, with Apache Corporation and Sales Ranchnine horizontals with BTA Oil Producers in Martin.

Reagan County, Texas.

Since the start of our West Texas horizontal drilling program in 2015, we have participated in 81 wells and invested approximately $130 million in horizontal drilling in the Permian Basin. This includes the four wells currently in progress with SEM Operating Company in Irion County, Texas.
In Upton County, Texas, we are developing a contiguous 3,9003,260 acre block with our joint venture partner, Apache Corporation, whereCorporation. In this block the Company holds approximately 48%has 2,600 leasehold acres with interest between 14% and 56% depending on the particular lease and depth being developed. In 2018, eight successful wells were drilled horizontally by Apache Corporation in 2,606 gross acres. Through the endWolfcamp “B” of this block with the Company participating for 49% interest and this is believed to be full development of the third quarter 2017, 16 wellsWolfcamp “B” reservoir. Together with Apache, we are planning development of the Upper Wolfcamp, Jo Mill, and Lower Spraberry reservoirs of this block. These shallower reservoirs have been drilled, completed and placed
proven-up
on production. During the fourth quarter of 2017, anour offset 1,300 acre Kashmir tract. It is expected that as many as 54 additional 12 wells (Company ownership between 31% and 38%) were drilled and brought online. There are also 6 additional wells with 1% or less ownership that are currently being drilled, completed, or are awaiting hydraulic fracture. Apache drilling plans indicate 5 additional wellshorizontals will be spuddeveloped on this 3,260 acres in the near future. This development is estimated to cost approximately $370.6 million, with the Company’s share being approximately $170.8 million. Two
3-mile-long
horizontals have been slated for the first quarter of 20182023. In addition to the 54 prospective wells to be drilled for these three reservoirs, a fourth target reservoir, the Middle Spraberry, is also prospective for future development. The potential of the Middle Spraberry on the 3,260 acre block is for 18 horizontal wells to be drilled and completed at a gross cost of $40approximately $126.3 million of which ourwith the Company’s share isbeing approximately $17 million. Apache has begun pad drilling of the acreage and future development is anticipated to result in approximately 80 additional horizontal wells being drilled at a cost of about $616 million. We own various interests ranging from 14% to 49% in the lands to be developed in this project and expect our share of these capital expenditures to be approximately $171$61.8 million. The totalactual number of wells that will beare eventually drilled as well as the cost and the timing of drilling will vary based upon many factors, including commodity market conditions.
In addition to the 3,260 acre block being developed, as described above, the Company has also been developing an offsetting 1,300 acre block in Upton County, Texas, with Apache Corporation as operator. In the second quarter of 2019 three horizontal wells were completed and brought on drilling scheduleproduction from reservoirs above the Middle Wolfcamp: one in the Wolfcamp “A”, one in the Jo Mill, and commodity prices.

one in the Lower Spraberry, confirming the economic viability of these reservoirs on our acreage. Prime holds 47.5% working interest in these reservoirs. As a result of the success of the initial three wells, nine additional horizontals followed and were completed in the third quarter of 2021. Our average 47.5% share of the cost of these nine horizontal wells was approximately $26.7 million in total. In Martin County,addition to the Wolfcamp “A”, Jo Mill and Lower Spraberry, that are now considered fully developed on the tract, four locations in the Middle Spraberry will be considered for future development at an estimated gross cost of approximately $30.2 million with the Company’s share being approximately $14.2 million.

Also in the Permian Basin of West Texas, we are developing a 960965 acre block with RSP PermianConocoPhillips in Martin County, Texas. In 2016 and the2017, four horizontal wells were drilled, completed, and put on production. The Company owns from 35% to 38% interest. Throughinterest in this joint venture acreage where we have potential to drill as many as 36 additional wells.
As mentioned above, in West Texas, the endCompany is participating for 10.3% interest with SEM Operating Company in four 7,900’-long horizontal wells in Irion County, Texas. We anticipate an investment of $2.55 million in these wells and for them to begin production in August. Also planned for this year is the drilling of ten
2-mile-long
horizontals in Hibernia Energy, III, LLC, in Reagan County, Texas and the drilling of five 2.5 mile long horizontal wells with ConocoPhillips in Martin County. The Company intends to participate for approximately 25% interest in the ten wells with Hibernia and for 27% interest in the five wells with Connoco Phillips. Our expected investment in the drilling and completion of these wells is $32 million.

In Oklahoma, we are focused on development of our reserves in Canadian, Grady, Kingfisher, Garfield, Major, and Garvin counties where we have approximately 5,800 net leasehold acres in the Scoop/Stack Play. In 2019, we participated for an average of 4.6% interest with Newfield Exploration in twelve successful wells in Canadian County on our Slash and Wallace tracts. In 2021, we participated for 11.25% interest with Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
Inc. in four wells on our Peters tract, in Canadian County. Three of these wells were successfully completed in December 2021 and online in January 2022, while one well had completion issues and has been temporarily abandoned. At today’s product prices, payout of the third quarter 2017, 4Company’s $2.3 million investment in these four wells occurred in four months.
In April 2022, in Oklahoma, the Company and Ovintiv
Mid-Continent
began drilling four horizontal wells on our Bohlman tract in the same area as the successful Peters wells. All four of the Bohlman wells have been drilled, completed, and placed on production. Further development plans for this acreage have not been received from RSP at this time. In addition to the development with RSP, the Company has also participated with Crownquest Operating in 15 wells in which Company ownership is less than 1%. Eight of the wells have been drilled and put on production and the remaining 7 are currently being drilled, completed, or are awaiting hydraulic fracture.

Once all wells are on production, our current West Texas horizontal drilling program will consist of 58 wells.

In Eddy County, New Mexico, the Company term assigned 80 net mineral acres for $400,000, retaining an overriding royalty on future horizontal development.    

Our Oklahoma horizontal development program, which began in 2012, has, through the third quarter of 2017, participated in 26 horizontal wells for approximately $26 million. Over this same time period the Company chose to retain an overriding royalty interest in 26 other horizontal wells. Through the third quarter of 2017, we participated in 2 horizontal wells that have been placed on production:flowing back. The Company participatedis participating with 19.7%9.38% interest with an approximate investment $2.2 million

We believe our 5,800 net leasehold acres in Oklahoma have the resource potential to support the drilling of aas many as 50 new horizontal wellwells based on an estimate of four wells per multi-section drilling unit: two in Canadian County operated by Devon Energy that spudthe Mississippian and two in Novemberthe Woodford Shale. Should we choose to participate in future development, our share of 2016 and was placed on production in early April 2017. The Company also participated with 11.5% interest in a horizontal well drilled by Marathon Oil Company in Kingfisher County that was spud in February of 2017 and put on production in early June 2017. The Company is currently participating in 2 wells drilled in Grady County, with approximately 10% interest in a well operated by Linn Operating, Inc. drilled in June 2017 but not yet completed and 1% in a well operated by Citizen Energy II LLC. which were drilled in May 2017 but are not yet completed. The total cost for these 2 wells will be about $14,700,000 and the Company’s share willcapital expenditures would be approximately $826,000. The Company is also participating in a horizontal well in Garvin County operated by Rimrock Resource Operating in which$34.6 million at an average 10% ownership level; the Company has approximately 6.25% interest with an expected net cost of $621,000, this well was drilled in July 2017 and treated in September 2017 but not yet producing. In addition, we have elected to retain an overridingwill otherwise sell its rights for cash, or cash plus a royalty interest in 2 horizontal wells drilled. The first well drilled by White Star Petroleum in Garfield County, retained 3.1% ORRI, drilled in November 2016 and put on production in February 2017 and second well drilled by Chaparral Energy Corp. in Garfield County, retained 0.325% overriding royalty interest, drilled in May 2017 and put on production in July 2017.

Our realized prices at the well head increased an average of $3.20 per barrel, or 7.6% and $8.86 per barrel, or 23.5%, on crude oil during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively from the same periods in 2016 while our average well head price for natural gas increased $0.26 per mcf, or 9.1% and $0.87 per mcf, or 35.2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively from the same periods in 2016.

Our crude oil production decreased by 9,000 barrels or 4.5% from 199,000 barrels for the third quarter 2016 to 190,000 barrels for the third quarter 2017 and increased by 80,000 barrels, or 15.77% from 511,000 barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 591,000 barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our natural gas production increased by 170,000 mcf, or 15.1% from 1,124,000 mcf for the third quarter 2016 to 1,294,000 mcf for the third quarter 2017 and increased by 158,000 mcf, or 4.8% from 3,308,000 mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 3,466,000 mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The changes in crude oil and natural gas production volumes reflect the natural decline of the previously existing properties, offset by production from new wells added in late 2016 and the first half of 2017. Production from our horizontal wells in West Texas was shut in during the ladder half of the third quarter of 2017 to facilitate the completion operations on our offset leases of fourteen new horizontal wells which came on line during the fourth quarter. We also experienced some shut-ins of our Gulf Coast production due to hurricane Harvey during the third quarter.

NGL Derivatives

We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our commodity based derivatives, thus changes in the fair market value of commodity contracts held at the end of a reported period, referred to as
mark-to-market
adjustments, are recognized as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As oil and natural gas prices remain volatile,
mark-to-market
accounting treatment creates volatility in our revenues. DuringThe following table summarizes the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized net unrealized lossesresults of $143 thousand and net unrealized gains of $1.80 million, respectively associated with natural gas fixed swap contracts and net unrealized losses of $1.12 million and net unrealized gains of $1.38 million, respectively associated with crude oil fixed swaps due to market fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil futures market prices between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017. No such gains were recognized in 2016.

increased $0.5$4.8 million or 7.6%109.1% from $6.3$4.4 million for the thirdsecond quarter 2016 to $6.7 million for the third quarter 2017 and decreased $0.7 million, or 3.2% from $21.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease is primarily due to reductions in costs in our marginal fields including personnel cut backs and decreased vendor services offset by increased production taxes related to increased oil and natural gas prices during 2017 as compared to the same periods of 2016.

Field service expense increased $0.4 million, or 17.4% from $2.7 million for the third quarter 2016 to $3.1 million for the third quarter 2017 and decreased $0.4 million, or 4.5% from $9.58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20162021 to $9.2 million for the ninesecond quarter 2022 and increased $9.0 million or 101.1% from $8.9 million for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2021 to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase is primarily due to higher production taxes related to higher commodity prices during 2022 combined with workover expenses and lease operating expense related to higher lifting cost properties returned to production.

Field service expense
increased $1.7 million or 94.4% from $1.8 million for the second quarter 2021 to $3.5 million for the second quarter 2022 and increased $3.2 million, or 97.0% from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Field service expenses primarily consist of wages and vehicle operating expenses which have trended upwardfluctuated during the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 compared with the same periods of 2021. These changes reflect the increase in utilization and rates resulting from the same period of 2016 as a direct result ofoil and gas price increases in hourly wage rates and hours, and utilization of the operating equipment in West Texas.

These increases reflect the change in the property basis combined with production increases in 2022.
General and administrative expense
increased $4.9 million, or 26.1%116.7% from $18.9$4.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021 to $23.8$9.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 reflecting the increased production during 2017 as compared to the same periods of 20162022, and the increase capital cost base of recently drilled and completed wells.

General and administrative expense increased $0.2 million, or 2.9%9.1% from $6.7$2.2 million for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021 to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $0.1 million, or 4.9% from $2.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162022. This increase in 2022 is primarily due to $2.5increased employee compensation and benefits.

Interest expense
decreased from $500 thousand for the second quarter 2021 to $150 thousand for the second quarter 2022 and from $1.0 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity are key components of our business strategy. For 2022, we will continue our focus on preserving financial flexibility and ample liquidity as we manage the risks facing our industry. Our 2022 capital budget is reflective of commodity prices and has been established based on an expectation of available cash flows, with any cash flow deficiencies expected to be funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As we have done historically to preserve or enhance liquidity, we may adjust our capital program throughout the year, divest assets, or enter into strategic joint ventures.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations, through our producing oil and gas properties, field services business and sales of non-core acreage.

Net cash provided by our operating activities and proceeds from the sale of properties for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was $21.4$42.3 million, compared to $5.0$11.5 million forin the nine months ended September 30, 2016. prior year.

Excluding the effects of significant unforeseen expenses or other income, our cash flow from operations fluctuates primarily because of variations in oil and gas production and prices or changes in working capital accounts. Our oil and gas production will vary based on actual well performance but may be curtailed due to factors beyond our control.

Our realized oil and gas prices vary due to world political events, supply and demand of products, product storage levels, and weather patterns. We sell the vast majority of our production at spot market prices. Accordingly, product price volatility will affect our cash flow from operations. To mitigate price volatility, we sometimes lock in prices for some portion of our production through the use of derivatives.

We currently maintain

Our credit agreement required us to hedge a portion of our production as forecasted for the PDP reserves included in our borrowing base review engineering reports. Accordingly, the Company has in place the following swap agreements for oil and natural gas.

in four wells in Canadian County, Oklahoma with 9.38% interest. These eight wells have been completed and are expected to be on production in August of this year. In addition, the Company has received drilling proposals for an additional 24 horizontal wells to be drilled in West Texas with 15 of these slated to begin drilling this year. In total the Company is likely to invest approximately $77 million in these 32 wells. Additional drilling and future development plans will be established based on an expectation of available cash flows from operations and availability of funds under our revolving credit facilityfacility.
The Company maintains a Credit Agreement providing for a reserves-based line of credit totaling $300 million, with a current borrowing base of $67$75 million. As of September 30, 2017, TheAugust 15, 2022, the Company has $49.8 million inno outstanding borrowings.borrowings under this line. The bank reviews the borrowing base semi-annually and, at their discretion, may decrease or propose an increase to the borrowing base relative to a redetermined
re-determined
estimate of proved oil and gas reserves. The next borrowing base review is scheduled for November 2017.December 2022. Our oil and gas properties are pledged as collateral for the line of credit and we are subject to certain financial and operational covenants defined in the credit agreement. We are currently in compliance with these covenants and expect to be in compliance over the next twelve months. If we do not comply with these covenants on a continuing basis, the lenders have the right to refuse to advance additional funds under the facility and/or declare all principal and interest immediately due and payable. Our borrowing base may decrease as a result of lower natural gas or oil prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves, lending requirements or regulations, the issuance of new indebtedness or for other reasons set forth in our revolving credit agreement. In the event of a decrease in our borrowing base due to declines in commodity prices or otherwise, our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility may be limited and we could be required to repay any indebtedness in excess of the redetermined
re-determined
borrowing base.

Our credit agreement required us to hedge

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company sold 1,809 net leasehold acres in Regan and Midland Counties, Texas through two transactions receiving gross proceeds of $14.0 million and retaining certain over-riding royalty interests.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold 241 net acres in Canadian County, Oklahoma for proceeds of $845,000 and a portionretained over-riding royalty interest.
