註釋 1 — 運營性質和 列報基礎
操作性質
W&t Offshore, Inc.(其子公司在此處稱爲 「公司」)是一家獨立的石油和天然氣生產商,其幾乎所有業務都位於墨西哥灣的海上。該公司積極參與石油和天然氣物業的勘探、開發和收購。該公司經營於
演示基礎
隨附的未經審計的簡明合併財務報表包括公司及其全資子公司的賬目以及按比例合併法覈算的蒙扎能源有限責任公司(「Monza」)的權益。在合併中,所有公司間帳戶和交易均已清除。這些簡明的合併財務報表是根據美國證券交易委員會(「SEC」)的規章制度編制的。因此,根據美利堅合衆國普遍接受的會計原則(「GAAP」)編制的年度財務報表中通常包含的某些信息和披露已被壓縮或省略。管理層認爲,公允列報所必需的所有調整(包括正常的經常性應計費用)均已包括在內。
中期的經營業績不一定代表全年預期的業績。這些未經審計的簡明合併財務報表應與第二部分第8項中包含的合併財務報表和附註一起閱讀。 財務報表和補充數據 公司截至2023年12月31日止年度的10-k表年度報告(「2023年年度報告」)。
爲了符合本年度的列報方式,對上一年度的簡明合併財務報表進行了某些重新分類。在簡明合併資產負債表中,該公司合併了 應繳所得稅 和 應計負債 和 遞延所得稅 和 其他負債。 在簡明合併現金流量表中,公司合併了運營現金流和投資現金流中的項目。這些重新分類對公司的經營業績、財務狀況或現金流沒有影響。
估算值的使用
根據公認會計原則編制財務報表要求管理層做出估算和假設,這些估計和假設會影響財務報表日報告的資產負債金額和或有資產負債的披露以及報告期內報告的收入和支出金額。實際結果可能與這些估計有所不同。
備註 2 — 收購
2023年12月13日,公司簽訂了買賣協議,以美元的價格收購墨西哥灣中部大陸架地區的某些租賃、油井和個人財產以及其他資產的權利、所有權和權益
此次收購被記作資產收購,這要求將總收購價格,包括交易成本,分配給收購的資產,並根據其相對公允價值承擔的負債。收購的石油和天然氣財產的公允價值衡量標準以及假設的ARO是使用收益法得出的,部分基於市場上無法觀察到的重要投入。這些輸入代表公允價值層次結構中的第三級衡量標準,包括但不限於儲備估計、未來運營和開發成本、未來大宗商品價格、預計的未來現金流和適當的貼現率。這些投入需要公司管理層在估值時做出重大判斷和估計。

公司的金融工具包括現金及現金等價物、受限現金、應收賬款、應付賬款、應計負債、衍生工具和債務。除衍生工具和債務外,由於這些工具的短期性和高流動性質,公司金融工具的賬面價值接近公允價值。

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.

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 $

業務概述
我們是一家獨立的石油和天然氣生產商,積極參與墨西哥灣石油和天然氣資產的勘探、開發和收購。截至2024年9月30日,我們在聯邦和州水域擁有53個海上油田的工作權益(其中包括聯邦水域的46個油田和州水域的7個油田)。我們目前租賃的總面積約爲673,100英畝(淨面積爲515,400英畝),橫跨路易斯安那州、德克薩斯州、密西西比州和阿拉巴馬州沿海的外大陸架,阿拉巴馬州水域的總面積約爲5,600英畝,常規大陸架佔地約51.4萬英畝,深水區約15.35萬英畝。我們每天的大部分產量來自我們運營的油井。
最近的事態發展
由於我們的業務位於墨西哥灣,因此我們特別容易受到颶風對生產和運營的影響。颶風的重大影響包括未來石油和天然氣產量和收入的減少和/或延期,疏散和維修的租賃運營費用增加,以及封堵和廢棄成本可能加快。
美國能源信息管理局(「EIA」)在2024年10月發佈的最新《短期能源展望》中估計,2024年9月11日登陸路易斯安那州海岸的弗朗辛颶風導致墨西哥灣(「GOM」)多達42%的石油生產和53%的天然氣生產關閉。由於四級風暴海倫在兩週後席捲了附近地區,嚴重擾亂了能源系統,GoM的產能無法恢復到滿負荷運轉。
由於與弗朗辛颶風和海倫颶風相關的設施預防性關閉和撤離,我們的生產受到影響。在截至2024年9月30日的三個月中,我們估計與颶風弗朗辛相關的延期產量約爲132.8兆英鎊,影響了35個油田,與颶風海倫相關的延期產量約爲160萬桶當量,影響了五個油田。由於包括石油碼頭、天然氣處理廠和煉油廠在內的第三方下游設施的損壞和電力損失,這些颶風之後的停產時間延長,導致它們處於離線狀態數週。儘管我們的資產和基礎設施在風暴期間沒有遭受重大破壞,但小規模維修和恢復生產以及疏散員工和承包商的計劃外成本是颶風造成的,並反映在租賃運營費用中。
2024年11月7日,我們宣佈2024年第四季度定期派發每股0.01美元的季度股息。我們預計將於2024年11月29日向截至2024年11月21日營業結束時的登記股東派發股息。
商業展望
我們的財務狀況、現金流和經營業績受到石油、液化天然氣和天然氣產量以及此類生產價格的顯著影響。我們獲得的生產價格的變化影響了我們業務的各個方面;最值得注意的是我們來自運營、收入、資本配置和預算決策的現金流以及我們的儲備量。的價格 石油、液化天然氣和天然氣歷來波動不定,由於我們無法控制的許多因素,包括受天氣狀況、管道容量限制、庫存儲存水平、國內生產活動和政治問題以及國際地緣政治和經濟事件影響的市場供需變化,可能會在短時間內大幅波動。
的現貨價格 2024年9月,西德克薩斯中質原油(「WTI」)平均每桶70.24美元,較2024年8月下跌8%。由於對全球石油需求增長的擔憂超過了石油庫存的下降以及歐佩克+成員將增產推遲到2024年12月的決定,價格在2024年9月下跌。但是,在最近涉及以色列、黎巴嫩和伊朗的軍事行動之後,WTI的現貨價格於2024年10月7日上漲至每桶77.76美元,較一週前上漲了13%。環境影響評估在其最新的STEO中預測,到2025年,西德克薩斯中質原油現貨價格預計平均爲每桶73.13美元,這反映了2025年全球石油需求的減少。但是,以色列之間的衝突,
17
黎巴嫩和伊朗的緊張局勢近幾周升級,尚無潛在解決時間表,增加了供應中斷和價格波動的可能性。
亨利樞紐天然氣現貨價格在9月份平均爲每MMBtu 2.28美元,比2024年8月份的平均價格1.98美元高15%,由於天然氣產量略有下降。產量下降部分原因是墨西哥灣的天然氣產量減少了11%,主要是受到弗朗西斯和海倫颶風的影響。美國能源資訊署預測,亨利樞紐現貨價格預計將平均爲每MMBtu 2.81美元,2024年第四季度爲每MMBtu 3.06美元。預計天然氣價格將在2025年上漲,因爲液化天然氣出口增加,而國內消費和產量預計將保持相對穩定。
我們的石油和天然氣平均實現銷售價格與WTI平均價格和nymex亨利樞紐平均價格有所不同,主要是由於溢價或折扣、質量調整、地點調整和成交量加權(統稱爲價差)。石油價格差異主要代表將生產的石油從井口運往煉油廠的運輸成本,並根據管道、鐵路和其他運輸的可用性確定。天然氣價格差異受當地市場基本面、從生產區域運輸能力的可用性和季節性影響較大。天然氣液體價格和價差與構成這些液體的產品的供需相關。其中一些更典型相關於油價,而另一些受到天然氣價格以及某些化工產品需求的影響,這些化工產品被用作原料。
除了波動的商品價格對我們的業務造成影響外,持續的通貨膨脹也可能影響我們的銷售利潤和盈利能力。 2024年9月的年通貨膨脹率爲2.4%,略低於2024年8月份的2.5%。2024年9月,聯儲局將目標聯邦基金利率區間下調50個點子至4.75%至5.00%,因通脹進展穩定趨向2%,首次四年來放寬貨幣政策。聯儲局在2024年9月發佈的《經濟前景摘要》指出,預計2024年將再減息50個點子,2025年再減息100個點子。然而,如果通脹再度上升,聯儲局可能繼續採取他們認爲必要的行動來降低通脹並確保價格穩定,包括加息,這可能會提高資本成本和抑制經濟增長,其中一個或兩者都可能對我們的業務產生負面影響。
18
經常虧損。我們的財務報表已經假定我們將繼續作爲一個持續經營的實體,並相應地不包括有關資產清收和實現以及負債分類的調整,如果我們無法繼續經營,則可能需要這些調整。

租賃營業費用 – 租賃營業費用包括基礎租賃營業費用、修井和設施維護費用,在2024年9月30日結束的三個月內,與2023年同期相比,增加了1060萬美元,達到了7240萬美元。在各組成部分的基礎上,基礎租賃營業費用增加了720萬美元,修井費用減少了90萬美元,設施維護費用增加了390萬美元,颶風費用增加了40萬美元。
直接勞動力、材料、用品、修理、第三方成本和保險等費用佔據了我們基礎租賃營業費用的最大部分。主要由於2024年1月和2023年9月收購的油田,基礎租賃營業費用增加。
修井和設施維護費用包括完成井上的重大修復作業所需的成本,以恢復、維護或改善井的產量。颶風費用包括因颶風而產生的費用 用於進行輕微維修和恢復生產,以及撤離因颶風而產生的員工和承包商。 這類費用並不一定能在不同時期進行比較,也可能因項目進行的時間和組合而發生變化。 由於項目進行的時間和組合的不同,這類費用可能並不一定可比。
採集、運輸和生產稅 – 在2024年9月30日結束的三個月內,比起2023年9月30日結束的三個月,主要是由於採集、運輸和生產稅款減少了50萬美元。 由於生產量下降。
折舊、抽採和攤銷(「DD&A」)- DD&A 2024年9月30日結束的三個月內,與2023年9月30日結束的三個月相比,DD&A增加了400萬美元。 DD&A率 在2024年9月30日結束的三個月內,DD&A率每千桶油當量從2019年9月30日結束的三個月的9.15美元增加到11.99美元,主要是由於我們於2024年1月收購的折舊基數增加,資本支出增加,未來開發成本和資本化的ARO增加以及低證明儲量造成的。

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.
