Leases Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. If the contract is determined to be a lease the Company classifies the lease as an operating or financing lease. The Company recognizes an operating or financing lease on its consolidated balance sheets as a lease liability, which represents the present value of the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company also records a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s operating leases typically do not provide an implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments based on information available at inception of the contract.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for financing leases is comprised of interest expense on the financing lease liability and the amortization of the associated ROU asset, which is also recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense that is not dependent on an index or rate is not included in the operating or financing lease liability or ROU asset and is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
The majority of the lease liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is comprised of its drilling rig and office lease contracts.
The tables below, which present the components of lease costs and supplemental balance sheet information are presented on a gross basis. Other joint owners in the properties operated by the Company generally pay for their working interest share of costs associated with drilling rigs and well equipment.
The table below presents the components of the Company’s lease costs for the periods indicated:
