W&t Offshore, Inc.(其子公司在此处称为 “公司”)是一家独立的石油和天然气生产商,其几乎所有业务都位于墨西哥湾的海上。该公司积极参与石油和天然气物业的勘探、开发和收购。该公司经营于
演示基础
随附的未经审计的简明合并财务报表包括公司及其全资子公司的账目以及按比例合并法核算的蒙扎能源有限责任公司(“Monza”)的权益。在合并中,所有公司间账户和交易均已清除。这些简明的合并财务报表是根据美国证券交易委员会(“SEC”)的规章制度编制的。因此,根据美利坚合众国普遍接受的会计原则(“GAAP”)编制的年度财务报表中通常包含的某些信息和披露已被压缩或省略。管理层认为,公允列报所必需的所有调整(包括正常的经常性应计费用)均已包括在内。
中期的经营业绩不一定代表全年预期的业绩。这些未经审计的简明合并财务报表应与第二部分第8项中包含的合并财务报表和附注一起阅读。 财务报表和补充数据 公司截至2023年12月31日止年度的10-k表年度报告(“2023年年度报告”)。
为了符合本年度的列报方式,对上一年度的简明合并财务报表进行了某些重新分类。在简明合并资产负债表中,该公司合并了 应缴所得税 和 应计负债 和 递延所得税 和 其他负债。 在简明合并现金流量表中,公司合并了运营现金流和投资现金流中的项目。这些重新分类对公司的经营业绩、财务状况或现金流没有影响。
估算值的使用
根据公认会计原则编制财务报表要求管理层做出估算和假设,这些估计和假设会影响财务报表日报告的资产负债金额和或有资产负债的披露以及报告期内报告的收入和支出金额。实际结果可能与这些估计有所不同。
备注 2 — 收购
2023年12月13日,公司签订了买卖协议,以美元的价格收购墨西哥湾中部大陆架地区的某些租赁、油井和个人财产以及其他资产的权利、所有权和权益
此次收购被记作资产收购,这要求将总收购价格,包括交易成本,分配给收购的资产,并根据其相对公允价值承担的负债。收购的石油和天然气财产的公允价值衡量标准以及假设的ARO是使用收益法得出的,部分基于市场上无法观察到的重要投入。这些输入代表公允价值层次结构中的第三级衡量标准,包括但不限于储备估计、未来运营和开发成本、未来大宗商品价格、预计的未来现金流和适当的贴现率。这些投入需要公司管理层在估值时做出重大判断和估计。

The Company measures the fair value of its derivative instruments by applying the income approach, using models with inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The income approach converts expected future cash flows to a present value amount based on market expectations. The inputs used for the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are the exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, notional quantities, the implied volatility, the discount curve with spreads and published commodity future prices.
Although the Company has master netting arrangements with its counterparties, the amounts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are on a gross basis.
The impact of commodity derivative contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6 — CONTINGENCIES
Appeal with the Office of Natural Resources Revenue
In 2009, the Company recognized allowable reductions of cash payments for royalties owed to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (the “ONRR”) for transportation of its deepwater production through subsea pipeline systems owned by the Company. In 2010, the ONRR audited calculations and support related to this usage fee, and ONRR notified the Company that they had disallowed approximately $
The Company has continued to pursue its legal rights and, at present, the case is in front of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana where both parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment and opposition briefs. The Company has filed a Reply in support of its Motion for Summary Judgment, and the government has in turn filed its Reply brief. With briefing now completed, the Company is waiting for the district court’s ruling on the merits.
ONRR Audit of Historical Refund Claims
In 2023, the Company received notification from the ONRR regarding results of an audit performed on the Company’s historical refund claims taken on various properties for alleged royalties owed to the ONRR. The review process is ongoing, and the Company does not believe any accrual is necessary at this time.
Bonding Disputes
On August 14, 2024, the Company filed a complaint seeking declaratory relief (the “Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Endurance Assurance Corporation and Lexon Insurance Company (the “Sompo Sureties”), providers of government-required surety bonds that secure decommissioning obligations the Company may have with respect to certain oil and gas assets of the Company. As described in the Complaint, the Company has paid all premiums associated with the bonds issued by the Sompo Sureties prior to the Complaint and has not suffered a material change to its financial status. Notwithstanding, the Sompo Sureties have issued written demands to the Company requesting the Company provide certain collateral to the Sompo Sureties, which are inconsistent with the requests of other surety entities who are not party to the Complaint. On October 9, 2024, the Sompo Sureties filed an answer and counterclaim alleging breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to provide the collateral demanded by the Sompo Sureties. The Sompo Sureties have issued approximately $
On October 21, 2024, a separate surety entity, U.S. Specialty Insurance Company (“USSIC”) filed a petition in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging, among other things, breach of the indemnity agreement between the Company and USSIC and seeking to compel the Company to provide the collateral demanded by USSIC. On October 25, 2024, the Company filed a notice of removal with the District Court of Harris County, Texas, seeking to remove the case to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas as a result of the existing Complaint. USSIC has issued approximately $
In each of the above cases, the Company believes that compliance with the collateral demands of the applicable surety entity would be contrary to the demands of other entities that provide government-required surety bonds to the Company. In addition, the Company believes compliance with these collateral demands could prompt escalating collateral requirements. As a result of the foregoing litigation, the Company may be required to provide the collateral demanded by the surety entities, or the Company may be required to or choose to replace the surety bonds provided by the applicable surety with surety bonds from different surety entities. The Company is seeking to negotiate a reasonable resolution with respect to collateral provision amongst the surety entities and other surety entities with conflicting or different collateral requests.
9
To the extent that the Company is required to fulfil the collateral demands made by the surety entities, or in the event that other surety entities make additional collateral demands, the fulfilment of such demands could be significant and could impact the Company’s liquidity. Please see Part I, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Known Trends and Uncertainties – Surety Bond Collateral of the 2023 Annual Report for additional information.
Contingent Decommissioning Obligations
The Company may be subject to retained liabilities with respect to certain divested property interests by operation of law. Certain counterparties in past divestiture transactions or third parties in existing leases that have filed for bankruptcy protection or undergone associated reorganizations may not be able to perform required abandonment obligations. Due to operation of law, the Company may be required to assume decommissioning obligations for those interests. The Company may be held jointly and severally liable for the decommissioning of various facilities and related wells. The Company no longer owns these assets, nor are they related to current operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $
Although it is reasonably possible that the Company could receive state or federal decommissioning orders in the future or be notified of defaulting third parties in existing leases, the Company cannot predict with certainty, if, how or when such orders or notices will be resolved or estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from such orders. However, the Company could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise the Company’s opinion regarding the outcome of certain notices or matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and the Company’s cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid. To the extent the Company does incur costs associated with these properties in future periods, the Company intends to seek contribution from other parties that owned an interest in the facilities.
Other Claims
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various pending or threatened claims and complaints seeking damages or other remedies concerning commercial operations and other matters. In addition, claims or contingencies may arise related to matters occurring prior to the Company’s acquisition of properties or related to matters occurring subsequent to the Company’s sale of properties. In certain cases, the Company has indemnified the sellers of properties acquired, and in other cases, has indemnified the buyers of properties sold. The Company is also subject to federal and state administrative proceedings conducted in the ordinary course of business including matters related to alleged royalty underpayments on certain federal-owned properties. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and federal or state administrative proceedings and the effect such an outcome may have, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
NOTE 7 — INVESTMENT IN MONZA
In March 2018, the Company and other members formed and funded Monza, which jointly participates with the Company in the exploration, drilling and development of certain drilling projects (“Joint Venture Drilling Program”) in the Gulf of Mexico. The total commitments by all members, including the Company’s commitment to fund its retained interest in Monza projects held outside of Monza, was $

关于前瞻性声明的注意事项
本季度报告中的信息包括《证券法》第27A条修订案和《证券交易法》第21E条修订案(“交易法”)中所定义的“前瞻性声明”。本季度报告中包含的除历史事实陈述外的所有陈述,涉及我们的策略、未来业务、财务状况、预计收入和损失、预期成本、前景、计划以及管理层的目标,均属前瞻性声明。这些前瞻性声明基于我们基于历史趋势、当前状况、预期的未来发展以及我们认为适用于情况的其他因素所做的某些假设和分析。尽管我们相信这些前瞻性声明基于合理的假设,但它们面临多项风险和不确定性,并根据我们目前掌握的信息进行。如果风险或不确定性实现或假设被证明不正确,我们的结果可能会与此类前瞻性声明和假设所表达或暗示的有实质差异。在本季度报告中使用“可能”、“相信”、“预期”、“打算”、“估计”、“期待”、“计划”、“预测”、“可能”、“目标”、“计划”以及类似表达的词语,旨在识别前瞻性声明,尽管并非所有前瞻性声明都包含此类识别词。读者应谨慎对待前瞻性声明,并仅以本文日期为准。我们不承担任何义务,也无意更新这些前瞻性声明,除非法律要求。
本季度报告中包含的信息包括可能会对我们预期的经营业绩、流动性、现金流以及业务前景产生重大影响的前瞻性声明。此类声明特别涵盖我们对未来财务状况、流动性、现金流、营运结果和业务策略、潜在的收购机会、其他营运计划和目标、为维持产量的资本、预期生产和营运成本、储量、套期保值活动、资本开支、资本回报、提高回收率因素以及其他指导。实际结果可能与预期结果存在差异,有时差异很大,并且报告的结果不应被视为未来业绩的指示。对于包括该前瞻性声明所基于的假设或基础的声明,我们警告说,尽管我们相信这类假设或基础是合理的并是出于善意,但假设的事实或基础几乎总是与实际结果有所差异,有时存在重大差异。 我们的基本报表中讨论了可能影响我们财务状况和经营业绩的已知重大风险,请参阅第I部分第1A项。 风险因素 市场风险已在我们2023年度报告的第II部分第7A项中讨论。 有关市场风险的定量和定性披露以及我们2023年度报告中,并可能在随后向SEC提交的报告中讨论或更新。

业务概述
我们是一家独立的石油和天然气生产商,积极参与墨西哥湾石油和天然气资产的勘探、开发和收购。截至2024年9月30日,我们在联邦和州水域拥有53个海上油田的工作权益(其中包括联邦水域的46个油田和州水域的7个油田)。我们目前租赁的总面积约为673,100英亩(净面积为515,400英亩),横跨路易斯安那州、德克萨斯州、密西西比州和阿拉巴马州沿海的外大陆架,阿拉巴马州水域的总面积约为5,600英亩,常规大陆架占地约51.4万英亩,深水区约15.35万英亩。我们每天的大部分产量来自我们运营的油井。
最近的事态发展
由于我们的业务位于墨西哥湾,因此我们特别容易受到飓风对生产和运营的影响。飓风的重大影响包括未来石油和天然气产量和收入的减少和/或延期,疏散和维修的租赁运营费用增加,以及封堵和废弃成本可能加快。
美国能源信息管理局(“EIA”)在2024年10月发布的最新《短期能源展望》中估计,2024年9月11日登陆路易斯安那州海岸的弗朗辛飓风导致墨西哥湾(“GOM”)多达42%的石油生产和53%的天然气生产关闭。由于四级风暴海伦在两周后席卷了附近地区,严重扰乱了能源系统,GoM的产能无法恢复到满负荷运转。
由于与弗朗辛飓风和海伦飓风相关的设施预防性关闭和撤离,我们的生产受到影响。在截至2024年9月30日的三个月中,我们估计与飓风弗朗辛相关的延期产量约为132.8兆英镑,影响了35个油田,与飓风海伦相关的延期产量约为160万桶当量,影响了五个油田。由于包括石油码头、天然气处理厂和炼油厂在内的第三方下游设施的损坏和电力损失,这些飓风之后的停产时间延长,导致它们处于离线状态数周。尽管我们的资产和基础设施在风暴期间没有遭受重大破坏,但小规模维修和恢复生产以及疏散员工和承包商的计划外成本是飓风造成的,并反映在租赁运营费用中。
2024年11月7日,我们宣布2024年第四季度定期派发每股0.01美元的季度股息。我们预计将于2024年11月29日向截至2024年11月21日营业结束时的登记股东派发股息。
商业展望
我们的财务状况、现金流和经营业绩受到石油、液化天然气和天然气产量以及此类生产价格的显著影响。我们获得的生产价格的变化影响了我们业务的各个方面;最值得注意的是我们来自运营、收入、资本配置和预算决策的现金流以及我们的储备量。的价格 石油、液化天然气和天然气历来波动不定,由于我们无法控制的许多因素,包括受天气状况、管道容量限制、库存储存水平、国内生产活动和政治问题以及国际地缘政治和经济事件影响的市场供需变化,可能会在短时间内大幅波动。
的现货价格 2024年9月,西德克萨斯中质原油(“WTI”)平均每桶70.24美元,较2024年8月下跌8%。由于对全球石油需求增长的担忧超过了石油库存的下降以及欧佩克+成员将增产推迟到2024年12月的决定,价格在2024年9月下跌。但是,在最近涉及以色列、黎巴嫩和伊朗的军事行动之后,WTI的现货价格于2024年10月7日上涨至每桶77.76美元,较一周前上涨了13%。环境影响评估在其最新的STEO中预测,到2025年,西德克萨斯中质原油现货价格预计平均为每桶73.13美元,这反映了2025年全球石油需求的减少。但是,以色列之间的冲突,
17
黎巴嫩和伊朗的紧张局势近几周升级,尚无潜在解决时间表,增加了供应中断和价格波动的可能性。
亨利枢纽天然气现货价格在9月份平均为每MMBtu 2.28美元,比2024年8月份的平均价格1.98美元高15%,由于天然气产量略有下降。产量下降部分原因是墨西哥湾的天然气产量减少了11%,主要是受到弗朗西斯和海伦飓风的影响。美国能源资讯署预测,亨利枢纽现货价格预计将平均为每MMBtu 2.81美元,2024年第四季度为每MMBtu 3.06美元。预计天然气价格将在2025年上涨,因为液化天然气出口增加,而国内消费和产量预计将保持相对稳定。
我们的石油和天然气平均实现销售价格与WTI平均价格和nymex亨利枢纽平均价格有所不同,主要是由于溢价或折扣、质量调整、地点调整和成交量加权(统称为价差)。石油价格差异主要代表将生产的石油从井口运往炼油厂的运输成本,并根据管道、铁路和其他运输的可用性确定。天然气价格差异受当地市场基本面、从生产区域运输能力的可用性和季节性影响较大。天然气液体价格和价差与构成这些液体的产品的供需相关。其中一些更典型相关于油价,而另一些受到天然气价格以及某些化工产品需求的影响,这些化工产品被用作原料。
除了波动的商品价格对我们的业务造成影响外,持续的通货膨胀也可能影响我们的销售利润和盈利能力。 2024年9月的年通货膨胀率为2.4%,略低于2024年8月份的2.5%。2024年9月,美联储将目标联邦基金利率区间下调50个基点至4.75%至5.00%,因通胀进展稳定趋向2%,首次四年来放宽货币政策。美联储在2024年9月发布的《经济前景摘要》指出,预计2024年将再降息50个基点,2025年再降息100个基点。然而,如果通胀再度上升,美联储可能继续采取他们认为必要的行动来降低通胀并确保价格稳定,包括加息,这可能会提高资本成本和抑制经济增长,其中一个或两者都可能对我们的业务产生负面影响。
18
经常亏损。我们的财务报表已经假定我们将继续作为一个持续经营的实体,并相应地不包括有关资产清收和实现以及负债分类的调整,如果我们无法继续经营,则可能需要这些调整。

租赁营业费用 – 租赁营业费用包括基础租赁营业费用、修井和设施维护费用,在2024年9月30日结束的三个月内,与2023年同期相比,增加了1060万美元,达到了7240万美元。在各组成部分的基础上,基础租赁营业费用增加了720万美元,修井费用减少了90万美元,设施维护费用增加了390万美元,飓风费用增加了40万美元。
直接劳动力、材料、用品、修理、第三方成本和保险等费用占据了我们基础租赁营业费用的最大部分。主要由于2024年1月和2023年9月收购的油田,基础租赁营业费用增加。
修井和设施维护费用包括完成井上的重大修复作业所需的成本,以恢复、维护或改善井的产量。飓风费用包括因飓风而产生的费用 用于进行轻微维修和恢复生产,以及撤离因飓风而产生的员工和承包商。 这类费用并不一定能在不同时期进行比较,也可能因项目进行的时间和组合而发生变化。 由于项目进行的时间和组合的不同,这类费用可能并不一定可比。
采集、运输和生产税 – 在2024年9月30日结束的三个月内,比起2023年9月30日结束的三个月,主要是由于采集、运输和生产税款减少了50万美元。 由于生产量下降。
折旧、抽采和摊销(“DD&A”)- DD&A 2024年9月30日结束的三个月内,与2023年9月30日结束的三个月相比,DD&A增加了400万美元。 DD&A率 在2024年9月30日结束的三个月内,DD&A率每千桶油当量从2019年9月30日结束的三个月的9.15美元增加到11.99美元,主要是由于我们于2024年1月收购的折旧基数增加,资本支出增加,未来开发成本和资本化的ARO增加以及低证明储量造成的。

Asset retirement obligations accretion expense – Accretion expense is the expensing of the changes in value of our ARO as a result of the passage of time over the estimated productive life of the related assets as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement values. Accretion expense increased $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the increase in our ARO liability as a result of our January 2024 acquisition and revisions to the estimates used in calculating the liability.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses – G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were relatively flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest expense, net – Interest expense, net, was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on the lower outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, partially offset by a decrease in interest income.
Derivative gain, net – During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $3.2 million derivative gain for our natural gas derivative contracts consisting of $1.8 million of unrealized gain from the increase in the fair value of our open natural gas contracts and $1.4 million of realized gains. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $1.5 million derivative gain for our natural gas derivative contracts consisting of $2.0 million in realized losses and a $3.5 million unrealized gain from the increase in the fair value of our open natural gas contracts.
Unrealized gains or losses on open derivative contracts are recorded as a gain or loss on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations at the end of each month. As a result of the derivative contracts we have on our anticipated production volumes through April 2028, we expect these activities to continue to impact net income (loss) based on fluctuations in market prices for natural gas. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 4 – Financial Instruments of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Other expense (income), net – Other expense, net increased $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily related to the accrual of additional expenses for net abandonment obligations pertaining to a number of legacy Gulf of Mexico properties, partially offset by fees paid by producers to tie into our subsea equipment at one of our wells.
Income tax (benefit) expense – Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 11.0%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate was primarily due to the impact of nondeductible compensation and adjustments to the valuation allowance. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was not meaningful primarily as a result of changes in the Company’s valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Production volumes decreased by 363 Mboe to 9,230 Mboe during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the effects of Hurricanes Francine and Helene, third-party downtime and our Mobile Bay production that had to be re-routed to a different processing plant. These decreases were partially offset by increased production from wells acquired in both the January 2024 and the September 2023 acquisitions.

Lease operating expenses – Lease operating expenses, which include base lease operating expenses, workovers, and facilities maintenance expense, increased $24.2 million to $217.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. On a component basis, base lease operating expenses increased $29.3 million, workover expenses decreased $9.6 million, facilities maintenance expense increased $4.1 million and hurricane expenses increased $0.4 million.
Base lease operating expenses increased primarily due to nine months of expenses at the fields acquired in January 2024 and September 2023, as well as higher repair, maintenance and labor costs at other fields.
Workover and facilities maintenance expenses consist of costs associated with major remedial operations on completed wells to restore, maintain or improve the well’s production. Hurricane expenses consist of costs for minor repairs and restoring production, as well as evacuating employees and contractors incurred as a result of the hurricanes. These types of expenses are not necessarily comparable from period to period and can change due to the timing and mix of projects undertaken.
Gathering, transportation and production taxes – Gathering, transportation and production taxes increased $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher processing fees for our Mobile Bay production that had to be re-routed to a different processing plant, partially offset by lower production volumes.
DD&A – DD&A increased $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The DD&A rate increased to $11.36 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $8.45 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The DD&A rate per Boe increased primarily as a result of a higher depreciable base due to our January 2024 acquisition, increases in capital expenditures, future development costs and capitalized ARO and lower proved reserves.
Asset retirement obligations accretion expense – Accretion expense increased $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the increase in our ARO liability related to our acquisitions in September 2023 and January 2024 and revisions to the estimates used in calculating the liability.
23
G&A expenses – G&A expenses increased $4.3 million to $61.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $57.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to non-recurring professional and legal services and higher medical claims.

Interest expense, net – Interest expense, net, decreased $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to the redemption of our 9.75% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2023 (the “9.75% Notes”) in February 2023 and a decrease in interest expense on the lower outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, partially offset by interest expense incurred on the 11.75% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2026 (the “11.75% Notes”) issued in late January 2023 and a decrease in interest income.
Derivative gain, net – During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $5.7 million derivative gain for our natural gas derivative contracts consisting of $5.5 million of realized gains and a $0.2 million unrealized gain from the increase in the fair value of our open natural gas contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $41.6 million derivative gain for our natural gas derivative contracts consisting of an unrealized gain of $44.1 million from the increase in the fair value of our open derivative contracts offset by $2.5 million of realized losses.
Other expense, net – Other expense, net increased $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily related to the accrual of additional expenses for net abandonment obligations pertaining to a number of legacy Gulf of Mexico properties, partially offset by fees paid by producers to tie into our subsea equipment at one of our wells.
Income tax (benefit) expense – Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 11.3% and 50.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital and operating expenditures and strategic acquisitions to allow us to replace our oil and natural gas reserves, repay and service outstanding borrowings, operate our properties and satisfy our ARO. We have funded such activities in the past with cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities, sales of property, securities offerings and bank and other borrowings, and expect to continue to do so in the future.
24
We expect to support our business requirements primarily with cash on hand and cash generated from operations. As of September 30, 2024, we had $126.5 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $50.0 million available under our Credit Agreement, based on a borrowing base of $50.0 million. We also have up to approximately $83.0 million of availability through our “at-the-market” equity offering program, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time. Based on our current financial condition and current expectations of future market conditions, we believe our cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and access to the equity markets from our “at-the-market” equity offering program will provide us with additional liquidity to continue our growth and will allow us to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding $275.0 million principal amount of the 11.75% Notes. We have commenced discussions with potential lenders and institutional investors regarding a potential refinancing of all or a portion of the 11.75% Notes prior to maturity, although there is no assurance as to the terms of any such refinancing or whether or when such refinancing will occur. We also may seek financings with longer tenors and market-based covenants to continue to provide working and potential acquisition capital. The terms of such financings, which may replace or augment our Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and refinance all or a portion of the 11.75% Notes, may vary significantly from those under the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and the 11.75% Notes. We may also consider using a portion of our cash balances to reduce the amount required to be refinanced. While the nearing maturity of the 11.75% Notes creates risk with respect to our future liquidity, management believes that the actions being taken to fully repay the 11.75% Notes, including from cash on hand, cash to be generated through operations, a refinancing transaction and from the proceeds of a potential equity sale of up to $83.0 million available under the ATM program, would allow us to repay the 11.75% Notes prior to their maturity. However, there is no guarantee we will be successful in achieving these objectives.
We continuously review our liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to uncertainty created by geopolitical events, a pandemic or a significant decline in oil and natural gas prices, and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be negatively impacted.
Cash Flow Information
The following table summarizes cash flows provided by (used in) by type of activity for the following periods (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||

| 305,959 |
Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This was primarily due to a $31.3 million decrease in net (loss) income adjusted for certain noncash items offset by a $15.5 million increase in operating cash flows from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in net (loss) income adjusted for certain noncash items was primarily related to a $4.6 million increase in revenues and a $12.3 million increase in derivative cash receipts, partially offset by increases in cash operating expenses. The decrease in operating assets and liabilities is primarily related to lower accounts receivable balances due to decreased revenues partially offset by higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances in the current period.
Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities increased $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This was primarily due to an increase of $51.8 million in the acquisition of property interests costs, partially offset by a decrease of $6.4 million in investment in oil and natural gas properties and equipment.
25
Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $306.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This was primarily due to the redemption of the $552.5 million principal amount outstanding of the 9.75% Notes in February 2023 partially offset by the net cash proceeds of $275.0 million received from the issuance of the 11.75% Notes in January 2023.
Capital Expenditures
The level of our investment in oil and natural gas properties changes from time to time depending on numerous factors, including the prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas, acquisition opportunities, liquidity and financing options and the results of our exploration and development activities.
The following table presents our capital expenditures for exploration, development, acquisitions and other leasehold costs (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2024, we expect to incur an additional $8.0 million to $10.0 million of capital expenditures in the remainder of 2024, which excludes acquisitions. In our view of the outlook for the remainder of 2024, we believe this level of capital expenditure will leave us with sufficient liquidity to operate our business, while providing liquidity to make strategic acquisitions. At current pricing levels, we expect our cash flows to cover our liquidity requirements, and we expect additional financing sources to be available if needed. If our liquidity becomes stressed from significant or prolonged reductions in realized prices, we have flexibility in our capital expenditure budget to reduce investments. We strive to maintain flexibility in our capital expenditure projects and if commodity prices improve, we may increase our investments.
Acquisitions
We have grown by making strategic acquisitions of producing properties in the Gulf of Mexico. We seek opportunities where we can exploit additional drilling projects and reduce costs. In January 2024, we closed on the acquisition of rights, titles and interest in and to certain leases, wells and personal property in the central shelf region of the Gulf of Mexico, among other assets, for $77.3 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction was funded with cash on hand. We also received a final settlement statement for our September 2023 acquisition of certain oil and natural gas producing assets in the central and eastern shelf region of the Gulf of Mexico and recorded an additional $3.3 million of oil and natural gas properties.
Any future acquisitions are subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and resolution of significant legal issues, the negotiation, documentation and completion of mutually satisfactory definitive agreements among the parties, the consent of our lenders, our ability to finance the acquisition and approval of our board of directors. We cannot guarantee that any such potential transaction would be completed on acceptable terms, if at all.
26
Asset Retirement Obligations
We have obligations to plug and abandon wells, remove platforms, pipelines, facilities and equipment and restore the land or seabed at the end of oil and natural gas production operations. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we have paid $20.3 million related to these obligations, and we expect to incur an additional $15.0 million to $25.0 million of payments during the remainder of 2024. Our ARO estimates as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $555.0 million and $498.8 million, respectively. As our ARO estimates are for work to be performed in the future, and in the case of our non-current ARO, extend from one to many years in the future, actual expenditures could be substantially different than our estimates. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of our 2023 Annual Report for additional information.
Debt
As of September 30, 2024, we have $399.4 million in aggregate principal amount of long-term debt outstanding, with $22.4 million in aggregate principal coming due over the next twelve months.
For additional information about our long-term debt, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 3 – Debt of this Quarterly Report and Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our 2023 Annual Report.
Dividends
In November 2023, our board of directors approved the implementation of a quarterly cash dividend payable to holders of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we have paid three cash dividends, totaling approximately $4.5 million, to holders of our common stock. The amount and frequency of future dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and primarily depends on earnings, capital expenditures, debt covenants and various other factors.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our material cash commitments from known contractual and other obligations consist primarily of obligations for long-term debt and related interest, operating leases, ARO and other obligations as part of normal operations. Except as disclosed herein, contractual obligations as of September 30, 2024 did not change materially from the disclosures in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our 2023 Annual Report.

THE SUBSIDIARY BORROWERS
Aquasition LLC and Aquasition II LLC are both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of us through their parent, Aquasition Energy LLC (collectively, the “Aquasition Entities”). We designated the Aquasition Entities as unrestricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing the 11.75% Notes. Having been so designated, the Aquasition Entities do not guarantee the 11.75% Notes, and the liens on the assets sold to the Aquasition entities have been released under the Credit Agreement. The Aquasition Entities are not bound by the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement or the indenture governing the 11.75% Notes. Under the Term Loan and related instruments, assets of the Aquasition Entities may not be available to mortgage or pledge as security to secure new indebtedness of us and our other subsidiaries.
Below is consolidating balance sheet information reflecting the elimination of the accounts of the Aquasition Entities from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our major market risk exposure is the fluctuation of prices for oil, NGL and natural gas. These fluctuations have a direct impact on our revenues, earnings and cash flow. For example, assuming a 10% decline in our average realized oil, NGL and natural gas sales prices in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and assuming no other items had changed, our revenue would have decreased by approximately $12.0 million and $7.7 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
We attempt to mitigate commodity price risk and stabilize cash flows associated with our forecasted sales of natural gas production through the use of swaps, purchased calls and purchased puts. Our derivatives will not mitigate all the commodity price risks of our forecasted sales of natural gas production and, as a result, we will be subject to commodity price risks on our remaining forecasted production.

Our exposure to interest rate risk has not changed materially from the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our 2023 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that any material information relating to us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our CEO and CFO performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
