ASU 2016
- uary 02 was effective for us on Jan
1, 2019 and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. Consequently, upon transition, we recognized an ROU asset and a lease liability with no retained earnings impact.As provided for in subsequent accounting standards updates related to ASU 2016 -02, we are applying the following practical expedients which provide elections to:
Based on the results of our implementation process, we identified one operating lease in existence at January 1, 2019 subject to ASU 2016 -02, which is our real estate lease for office space in Houston, Texas that terminates in December 2022. We identified no finance leases. The implementation of ASU 2016 -02 resulted in establishing an ROU asset and lease liability of $5.0 million during the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of the new standard did not impact our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Deficit. During the nine months ended September
30, 2019, various pipeline rights-of-way contracts and a land lease were acquired, assumed, renewed or otherwise entered into, primarily in conjunction with the Mobile Bay Acquisition. For these contracts, an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability was calculated based on our assumptions of the term, inflation rates and incremental borrowing rates. The term of each pipeline right-of-way contract is
10 years with various effective dates, and each has an option to renew for up to another ten years. It is expected renewals beyond 10 years can be obtained as renewals were granted to the previous lessees. The land lease has an option to renew every five years extending to 2085. The expected term of the rights-of way and land leases was estimated to approximate the life of the related reserves. Minimum future lease payments were estimated assuming expected terms of the leases and estimated inflation escalations of payments for certain leases. Undiscounted future minimum payments as of
September 30, 2019 are as follows: 2019 - $0.8 million; 2020 - $1.9 million; 2021 - $1.9 million; 2022 - $2.0 million; 2023 - $0.5 million; and 2024 and beyond - $13.2 million. During the xpense recognized related to these leases was nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018, e$2.0 As of September 30, 2019 9.75% for the Houston office lease and 10.75% for the other leases. The discount rate (or incremental borrowing rate) was determined using the interest rate of recently issued debt instruments that were issued at par and for a similar term as the term of our Houston office lease. For the other lease contracts, a higher discount rate was used as the incremental borrowing rate due to longer expected termination dates. The expected terms of the leases ranged between three and 20 years, with no early terminations assumed.Amounts related to leases recorded within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows (in thousands):
During the to our interest, of which the majority of such costs were recorded within nine months ended September
30, 2019, we incurred short-term lease costs related to drilling rigs of $13.3 million, net Oil and natural gas properties, net , on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In exercising the practical expedient, we did not separate non-lease and lease components for these short-term leases. |
