Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business – Felix Energy Holdings II, LLC (the Company), a Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC), was formed on August 28, 2015, for the purpose of acquiring, developing and operating oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. As an LLC, the amount at risk for each individual member is limited to the amount of capital contributed to the LLC, and unless otherwise noted, the individual member’s liability for indebtedness of an LLC is limited to the member’s actual capital contribution.

 

In June 2017, the Company was conveyed to Felix Investments Holdings II, LLC (HoldCo). HoldCo is directly and indirectly owned 100% by Felix Energy Investments II, LLC (Investments). Prior to this conveyance, the Company was owned by Investments (99.9%) and Felix Energy II, Inc. (0.01%), a C Corporation, which was wholly owned by Investments.

 

The Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

 

· Felix Water, LLC,
· Felix Midstream, LLC, and
· Felix Administrative Services, LLC

 

Basis of Presentation – The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) to ensure consistent reporting of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification). The condensed interim financial information includes a note that the financial information does not represent complete financial statements and is to be read in conjunction with the entity’s latest audited annual financial statements. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for the period presented have been included.

 

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, all inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant judgments and estimates include: estimates related to the oil and gas reserves held by the Company which directly impact the depletion calculation and fair value of the oil and gas properties.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts held in banks and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash consists of cash restricted for the purpose of the drilling and completion costs for five oil and gas wells pursuant to a farm-out agreement executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable – The Company’s accounts receivable are generated from oil and gas sales and from joint interest owners on properties that the Company operates. The Company’s oil and gas receivables are typically collected within one to two months. No allowance for bad debts has been recorded at September 30, 2019.

 

Inventory – Inventory consists of pipe and supplies maintained to support the Company’s water and midstream infrastructure and is stated at the lower of cost (determined on a specific identification basis) or market. Management reviews inventory for items which are slow moving, damaged, or obsolete to provide for a valuation reserve. No reserve for excess or obsolete inventory has been deemed necessary as of September 30, 2019.

 

Oil and Gas Properties The Company accounts for its oil and gas operations using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells, and all development wells are capitalized, including interest on capital costs associated with the development of oil and gas properties during drilling and completion. Items charged to expense generally include geological and geophysical costs, costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells, delay rentals, and oil and gas production costs. Capitalized costs of proved leasehold costs are depleted on a field-by-field basis using the units-of-production method based upon total proved oil and gas reserves. Other capitalized costs of producing properties are depleted based on proved developed reserves. All wells in process as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 are expected to be completed within the next 12 months. Depletion expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $133.9 million and $54.7 million, respectively.

 

The Company assesses its proved oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The impairment test compares undiscounted future net cash flows to the assets’ net book value. If the net capitalized costs exceed future net cash flows, then the cost of the property is written down to the estimated fair value. Fair value for oil and natural gas properties is generally determined based on an analysis of discounted future net cash flows adjusted for certain risk factors. There were no impairments of proved oil and gas properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Unproved properties are assessed periodically on a project-by-project basis to determine whether an impairment has occurred. Management’s assessment includes consideration of the results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales, or expiration of all or a portion of such projects which impact the amount and timing of impairment provisions. Sales proceeds from unproved oil and gas properties are credited to related costs of the prospect sold until all such costs are recovered and then to net gain or loss on sales of unproved oil and gas properties. As of September 30, 2019, management determined there was no impairment of unproved properties.

Water Facilities and Disposal Systems – Water facilities and disposal systems consist of disposal wells and facilities and source water ponds and pits. Amounts are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Disposal wells 20 years
Source water ponds and pits 10 years

 

Water facilities and disposal systems comprise the following:

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2019     2018  
    (in thousands)  
Land and improvements   $ 2,220     $ 1,947

Total     134,591       108,416  
Accumulated depreciation     (10,478 )     (5,174 )
                 
Total water facilities and disposal systems   $ 124,113     $ 103,242  

 

Costs incurred for construction of produced water disposal assets in progress and not operational are initially included in construction in progress. No depreciation is recorded for these assets as they have not been placed in operations.

 

Midstream Facilities – Midstream facilities include gathering system assets, primarily pipelines and well connections, which service the Company’s wells. Amounts are recorded at cost and depreciated using the units-of-production method consistent with the Company’s producing oil and gas properties.

 

Midstream facilities comprise the following:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
   (in thousands) 
Gathering systems, terminals, and equipment  $71,470   $40,332

Total   73,326    40,832 
Accumulated depreciation   (8,732)   (2,972)
           
Total midstream facilities  $64,594   $37,860

Costs incurred for construction of midstream facilities in progress and not operational are initially included in construction in progress. No depreciation is recorded for these assets as they have not been placed in operations.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities – Costs to drill, complete and operate oil and gas properties are included in accounts payable when invoiced. Costs incurred for which an invoice has not yet been received are included in accrued liabilities and are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be paid.

 

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following as of the dates indicated below:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
   (in thousands) 
Accrual for capital expenditures  $80,496   $80,393 
Other   27,748    24,065 
           
Total   108,244    104,458 

 

Derivative Instruments – The Company uses derivative contracts to reduce the risk associated with commodity price changes associated with its future oil and natural gas production, typically fixed-price swaps and floating basis swaps. The Company’s derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as an asset or a liability. Changes in the fair value and realized gains and losses are recorded in (Gain) Loss on Derivative Instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

Revenue Recognition – Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue from the sale of oil, NGLs, and gas are recognized as the product is delivered to the customers’ custody transfer points and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company fulfills the performance obligations under the customer contracts through daily delivery of oil, NGLs, and gas to the customers’ custody transfer points and revenues are recorded on a monthly basis. The prices received for oil, NGLs, and natural gas sales under the Company’s contracts are generally derived from stated market prices which are then adjusted to reflect deductions, including transportation, fractionation and processing. As a result, the revenues from the sale of oil, natural gas, and NGLs will decrease if market prices decline. The sales of oil, NGLs, and gas as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of income represent the Company’s share of revenues, net of royalties and excluding revenue interests owned by others. When selling oil, NGLs, and gas on behalf of royalty owners or working interest owners, the Company is acting as an agent and thus reports the revenue on a net basis. To the extent actual volumes and prices of oil and natural gas sales are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and recorded.

Revenue derived from the midstream assets are only transacted through the Company and its subsidiaries, and as such are eliminated during consolidation.

 

Income Taxes – The Company is an LLC. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the income, deductions, expenses, and credits of the Company are reported on the individual income tax returns of the Company’s member. The Company is, however, subject to the Texas margin tax due to its operation within the state of Texas. Amounts incurred under the Texas margin tax during the period ended September 30, 2019 was immaterial, and no amounts were due as of September 30, 2019.

 

The Company has not recorded any liabilities as of September 30, 2019 related to uncertain tax provisions, and the Company made no provision for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations – The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recognizing the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is then depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability increases due to the passage of time based on the time value of money until the obligation is settled.

 

The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the retirement of oil and gas properties and related equipment used at the wellsite. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

   September 30, 
   2019 
   (in thousands) 
Asset retirement obligations, beginning of period  $3,298 
      
Liabilities incurred during the period   1,106 
Liabilities settled during the period   (69)
Accretion of discount   147 
      
Asset retirement obligations, end of period  $4,482 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, revenues payable, derivative instruments, and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities, interest rates that approximate market rates, or recurring fair value measurements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk – The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for amounts up to $250,000. At any point in time, the Company may have amounts on deposit that are in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financials instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions described below.

 

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue as follows:

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, one customer accounted for 87% and two customers accounted for 89% of revenue, respectively.

 

Note 2 – Related Party Transactions

 

HoldCo Note – In August 2017, HoldCo closed on $300 million of senior secured first lien notes due 2022 (the HoldCo Note). The $300 million facility includes a $100 million delay draw which was amended on March 1, 2019 to extend the expiration to March 1, 2020. The HoldCo Note is collateralized by substantially all of HoldCo’s assets and equity interests, which includes the equity of the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has received $194.7 million sourced from the HoldCo Note and has classified the amounts as capital contributions.

 

The HoldCo Note accrues interest at LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 6.50%. Interest payments are made by the Company to HoldCo in the form of distributions. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company made distributions of $19.7 million in connection with the interest, and received the $100 million delay draw that was treated as a capital contribution.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which establishes a hierarchy for the inputs utilized in measuring fair value. The hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability such as discounted cash models.

 

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Office Lease – The Company leases various office space in Denver, Colorado under non-cancellable operating leases through May 31, 2023. Future minimum payments under these leases are $2.4 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company’s rent expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

 

Environmental Issues – The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental clean-up of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and gas wells and the operation thereof. In the Company’s acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental clean-up or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. Management believes its properties are operated in conformity with local, state, and federal regulations.
