LEASES

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Nature of Leases

The Company has operating leases on certain equipment with remaining lease durations in excess of one year. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms of greater than one year. Short-term leases that have an initial term of one year or less are not capitalized.

The Company has entered into contracts for drilling rigs with varying terms with third parties to ensure operational continuity, cost control and rig availability in its operations. The Company has concluded its drilling rig contracts are operating leases as the assets are identifiable and the Company has the right to control the identified assets. However, at June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any active long-term drilling rig contracts in place.

The Company rents office space for its corporate headquarters, field locations and certain other equipment from third parties, which expire at various dates through 2023. These agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms of one to five years. The Company has determined these agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. The Company has included any renewal options that it has determined are reasonably certain of exercise in the determination of the lease terms. The lease for the Company's corporate headquarters expired on June 30, 2022, and was not renewed. Effective July 1, 2022, the Company moved its headquarters to a new location. The impact of the lease for the Company's new headquarters location will be recognized in the third quarter and will not be material to the financial statements.

Discount Rate

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit 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 Company's incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
