2019 Acquisitions and Dispositions

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed its divestiture of certain non-core assets in the southern Midland Basin (the “Ranger Asset Divestiture”) for net cash proceeds received at closing of $244,935, including customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction also provides for potential contingent consideration in payments of up to $60,000 based on West Texas Intermediate average annual pricing over a three-year period (see Notes 6 and 7 for additional information regarding the contingent consideration payments). The divestiture encompasses the Ranger operating area in the southern Midland Basin which includes approximately 9,850 net Wolfcamp acres with an average 66% working interest. The divestiture did not significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, and as such, net cash proceeds and contingent consideration were recorded as adjustments to our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed various acquisitions and dispositions of additional working interests and acreage located in our existing core operating areas within the Permian Basin. The Company purchased mineral rights for $21,407 in the Spur operating area and received proceeds of $14,084, including customary purchase price adjustments, for certain leasehold interests in our WildHorse acreage. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed various acreage swaps in the Permian Basin and received proceeds of $19,108, including customary purchase price adjustments, for certain working interests in our Spur acreage.
