47、the extraction is by a means notinvolving a well.EOREnhanced Oil Recovery;projects that involve injection of heat,miscible or immiscible gas,orchemicals into oil reservoirs,typically following full primary and secondary waterflood recoveryefforts,in order to gain incremental recovery of oil from the
48、 reservoir.FieldAn area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped within or related to thesame geologic structural features and/or stratigraphic features.*FarmoutSale or transfer of all or part of the operating rights from the working interest owner(the assignor orfarmout p
49、arty),to an assignee(the farm-in party)who assumes all or some of the burden ofdevelopment,in return for an interest in the property.The assignor may retain an overriding royaltyor any other type of interest.For Federal tax purposes,a farmout may be structured as a sale or lease,depending on the spe
50、cific rights and carved out interests retained by the assignor.Gross Acres orGross WellsThe total acres or number of wells participated in,regardless of the amount of working interestowned.HorizontalDrillingInvolves drilling horizontally out from a vertical well-bore,thereby potentially increasing t
51、he areaand reach of the well-bore that is in contact with the reservoir.HydraulicFracturingInvolves pumping a fluid with or without particulates into a formation at high pressure,therebycreating fractures in the rock and leaving the particulates in the fractures to ensure that the fracturesremain op

59、d out of the operating or working interest.Unlike a royalty interest,anoverriding royalty interest terminates with the operating interest from which it was created or carvedout of.See“Royalty Interest.”PermeabilityThe measure of ease with which a fluid can move through a reservoir.The unit of measur
60、e is a darcy(d),or any metric derivation thereof,such as a millidarcy(md),where one darcy equals 1,000millidarcy.Extremely low permeability of 10 millidarcy,or less,are often associated with sourcerocks,such as shale.Extraction of hydrocarbons from a source rock is more difficult than asandstone res
61、ervoir where permeability typically ranges one to two darcy or more.PorosityThe relative volume of the pore space(or open area)compared to the total bulk volume of thereservoir,stated in percent.Higher porosity rocks provide more storage space for hydrocarbonaccumulations than lower porosity rocks i
62、n a given cubic volume of reservoir.PrimaryRecovery MethodThe extraction of oil and natural gas from reservoirs using natural or initial reservoir pressurecombined with artificial lift techniques such as pumps.ProducingReservesAny category of reserves that have been developed and production has been
63、 initiated.*Producing WellAny well that has been developed and production has been initiated.*Proved DevelopedReservesProved Reserves that can be expected to be recovered(i)through existing wells with existingequipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relativel

69、serves onundrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that arereasonably certain of production when drilled,unless evidence using reliable technology exists thatestablishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.(ii)Undrilledl
70、ocations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has beenadopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years,unless the specificcircumstances justify a longer time.(iii)Under no circumstances shall estimates for undevelopedreserves be attrib
71、utable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improvedrecovery technique is contemplated,unless such techniques have been proved effective by actualprojects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliabletechnology establishing reasona

74、sting economic conditions.Productive WellA well that is producing oil or natural gas or that is capable of production.PV-10Means the present value,discounted at 10%per annum,of future net revenues(estimated futuregross revenues less estimated future costs of production,development,and asset retireme
75、nt costs)associated with reserves and is not necessarily the same as market value.PV-10 does not includeestimated future income taxes.Unless otherwise noted,PV-10 is calculated using the pricing schemeas required by the Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”).PV-10 of proved reserves iscalculated
76、the same as the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows,except that thestandardized measure of discounted future net cash flows includes future estimated income taxesdiscounted at 10%per annum.See the definition of standardized measure of discounted future netcash flows.ReservoirA p
77、orous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oiland/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual andseparate from other reservoirs.Royalty orRoyalty InterestThe mineral owners share of oil or natural gas producti
78、on(typically between 1/8 and),free ofcosts,but subject to severance taxes unless the lessor is a government.In certain circumstances,theroyalty owner bears a proportionate share of the costs of making the natural gas saleable,such asprocessing,compression,and gathering.SecondaryRecovery MethodThe ex
79、traction of oil and natural gas from reservoirs utilizing water injection(waterflooding)inorder to maintain or increase reservoir pressure and direct the displacement of oil into producingwells.Shut-in WellA well that is not on production,but has not been plugged and abandoned.Wells may be shut-in i
80、nanticipation of future utility as a producing well,plugging and abandonment or other use.StandardizedMeasureThe standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.The Standardized Measure is anestimate of future net cash flows associated with proved reserves,discounted at 10%per annum.Future
81、net cash flows are calculated by reducing future net revenues by estimated future income taxexpenses and discounting at 10%per annum.The Standardized Measure and the PV-10 of provedreserves are calculated in the same exact fashion,except that the Standardized Measure includesfuture estimated income
82、taxes discounted at 10%per annum.The Standardized Measure is inaccordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America(“GAAP”).Tertiary RecoveryMethodThe extraction of oil and natural gas from reservoirs which employs injection of gas,heat,orchemicals into the reservo
83、ir in order to change the physical properties of the oil and aid in itsextraction,also known as Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR).UndevelopedReservesReserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage,orfrom existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is r
84、equired for recompletion.*Table of ContentsviiWater InjectionWellA well which is used to inject water under high pressure into a producing formation to maintainsufficient pressure to produce the recoverable reserves.Working InterestThe interest in the oil and natural gas in place which is burdened w
85、ith the cost of development andoperation of the property.Also called the operating interest.WorkoverA remedial operation on a completed well to restore,maintain,or improve the wells production.*This definition may be an abbreviated version of the complete definition as defined by the SEC in Rule 4-1

159、 related future development costs of approximately$90.5 million,which are primarily associated with the Williston Basin and Chaveroo Field and to a lesser extent our SCOOP/STACK properties,where we hold a smaller average net working interest,and the Delhi Field.Extensions of 4.5 MMBOE are primarily
160、associated with new wells at SCOOP/STACK,subsequent to our acquisition,and Chaveroo Field.Transfers of 0.1 MMBOE are associated with two Delhi wells placed online during the first fiscal quarter of 2024.The net downward revisions were due primarily to adjustments made to the Williston Basin developm
161、ent plan.These adjustments include updated economic assumptions to drill and complete wells,changes to the specific well locations on the drilling plan based on continuous technical analysis of the acreage,and the development timing of the project that maximizes the efficiency of our capital project
162、s.The positive revisions in natural gas and NGLs are associated with changes in type curves at SCOOP/STACK subsequent to our acquisition.Under SEC reporting requirements,our PUD reserves include only those reserves in which the Company has current plans to develop within five years.See“Drilling and
163、PresentActivities”below for a further discussion of our expected development of the PUDs associated with Williston Basin,Chaveroo Field,SCOOP/STACK and Delhi Field.Drilling and Present ActivitiesCurrently,none of our oil and natural gas properties are operated by us.We therefore rely on information
164、from ouroperators regarding near-term drilling programs.There are no plans to drill new wells in fiscal year 2025 in the JonahField,the Barnett Shale,and the Hamilton Dome Field.At this time,operators of our properties at SCOOP/STACK,Williston Basin,Hamilton Dome Field and Delhi Field are periodical
165、ly running workover rigs focusing on projects toreturn wells to production that have experienced mechanical issues.At SCOOP/STACK,we currently expect 13 gross wells to be brought online during fiscal year 2025.Additionally,as our third-party operators continue to be active around our acreage,we woul
166、d expect additional wells to be drilled and/or completed.At Chaveroo Field,the next development block is currently planned to begin drilling during the second quarter of fiscal 2025,with production estimated to commence during the second half of fiscal 2025.At the Williston Basin,we anticipate that
167、fiscal year 2025 will be used to finalize permits,maximize economic efficiencies in vendor Table of Contents8contracts,and prepare for initiating a drilling program to exploit the Three Forks formation on our acreage.We envision production to begin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.At Delhi
168、Field,the third-party operator is planning to drill three new wells within Test Site V.The first of these three new wells is expected to come online during the second half of fiscal 2025.For further discussion,see“Capital Expenditures”within Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCon

191、as,and NGLs are readily transportable and marketable.In the JonahField,we take our natural gas and NGL working interest production in-kind and market separately to purchasers on six-month contracts for natural gas and to Enterprise Products Partners L.P.for NGLs.We do not currently market our share
192、ofoil,natural gas,or NGLs production from any other field separately from the operators shares of production.Although wehave the right to take our working interest production in-kind,we are currently selling our production through the fieldoperators pursuant to the delivery and pricing terms of thei
193、r sales contracts.Under such arrangements,we typically do notknow the identity of the buyers.As a non-operator,we are highly dependent on the success of our third-party operators and the decisions made in connection with their operations.With the exception of the Jonah Field,our third-party operator
194、s sell our oil,natural gas,and NGLs to purchasers,collect the cash,and distribute the cash to us.In the year ended June 30,2024,four individual purchasers,Denbury,Diversified,Foundation,and Merit,each accounted for more than 10%of our total revenues,collectively representing approximately 69%of our
195、total revenues for the year.In the year ended June 30,2023,three individual purchasers,Diversified,Denbury,and Conoco Phillips,each accounted for more than 10%of our total revenues,collectively representing approximately 65%of our total revenues for the year.The loss of a purchaser at any of our maj
196、or producing properties or disruption to pipeline transportation from these fieldscould adversely affect our net realized pricing and potentially our near-term production levels.Market ConditionsPrices we receive for crude oil,natural gas,and NGLs are influenced by many factors that are beyond our c
197、ontrol,the exacteffect of which is difficult to predict.These factors include changes in supply and demand,the relative strength of the U.S.dollar,government regulation,weather,and actions of major foreign producers.Oil and natural gas prices over the past few years have been volatile and we expect
198、that volatility to continue.Worldwidefactors such as global health pandemics,geopolitical,international trade disruptions and tariffs,macroeconomics,supplyand demand,refining capacity,petrochemical production,and derivatives trading,among others,influence prices for oil,natural gas,and NGLs.Local an
199、d domestic factors also influence prices for oil,natural gas,and NGLs and includeincreasing or decreasing production trends,quality differences,regulation,legislation and transportation issues unique tocertain producing regions and reservoirs.CompetitionThe oil and natural gas industry is highly com
200、petitive for prospects,acreage,and capital.Our competitors include majorintegrated oil and natural gas companies,numerous independent oil and natural gas companies,individuals,and drillingand income programs.Many of our competitors are large,well-established companies with substantially larger opera
201、tingTable of Contents12staff and greater capital resources.Competitors are national,regional,or local in scope and compete on the basis offinancial resources,technical prowess or local knowledge.The principal competitive factors in our industry are expertise ingiven geographical areas and geologic s
202、ystems and the ability to efficiently conduct operations,achieve technologicaladvantages,identify and acquire economically producible reserves,and obtain capital at rates that allow economicinvestments.Risk ManagementWe are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations,includi
203、ng commodity price risk.In accordancewith our company strategy and the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility,derivative instruments areoccasionally utilized to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations and reduce the variability in our cash flows associatedwith anticipated sales of futur
204、e oil and natural gas production.We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculativetrading purposes.While there are many different types of derivative instruments available,historically we have used costless collars,standalone put options,and fixed-price swaps to attempt to manage price risk.
205、Costless collar agreements are put and calloptions used to establish floor and ceiling commodity prices for a fixed volume of production during a certain time period.All costless collar agreements provide for payments to counterparties if the settlement price under the agreement exceedsthe ceiling a
206、nd payments from the counterparties if the settlement price under the agreement is below the floor.Stand aloneput options are floors that are purchased for a cost and provide that counterparties make payments to us if the settlementprice is below the established floor.The fixed-price swap agreements
207、 call for payments to,or receipts from,counterpartiesdepending on whether the index price of oil or natural gas for the period is greater or less than the fixed price establishedfor the period contracted under the fixed-price swap agreement.It is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only wi
208、th counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemedby management as competent and competitive market makers.We will continue to evaluate the benefit of employingderivatives in the future.Our hedge strategies and objectives may change as our operational profile changes.See Item 7A.Q
209、uantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and Note 7,“Derivatives”to our consolidated financialstatements in Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information.Government RegulationAs an oil and natural gas exploration and production company,our interests a
210、re subject to numerous legal requirements.Regulation of Oil and Natural Gas ProductionFederal,state and local authorities have promulgated extensive rules covering oil and natural gas exploration,productionand related operations.Those regulations require our third-party operator to obtain permits,po
211、st bonds and submit reports.They also may address conservation,including unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties,well locations,themethod of drilling and casing wells,surface use and restoration of properties where wells are drilled,sourcing and disposalof water used in the process
212、of drilling,completion and abandonment,the establishment of maximum rates of productionfrom wells,and plugging and abandonment of wells.The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and naturalgas that we can produce and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can p
213、roduce.Moreover,many statesimpose a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil,natural gas and natural gas liquidswithin their jurisdictions.Failure to comply with any applicable legal requirements may result in substantialpenalties.Because such regulations are freque
214、ntly amended or reinterpreted,we are unable to predict future compliancecosts or impacts.Significant expenditures may be required to comply with governmental laws and regulations,however,and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Regulation of Transpo
215、rtation of Oil and Natural GasThe prices for crude oil,condensate and natural gas liquids and natural gas are negotiated and not currently regulated.But Congress,which has been active in oil and natural gas regulation,could impose price controls in the future.Table of Contents13Our sales of crude oi
216、l and natural gas are affected by the availability,terms and cost of transportation.The Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission(“FERC”)primarily regulates interstate oil and natural gas transportation rates.In somecircumstances,FERC regulations also may affect intrastate pipelines.In addition,states may
217、 impose on intrastate pipelinesvarious obligations relating to such matters as safety,environmental protection,nondiscriminatory take and pay rates.Thebasis for intrastate oil and natural gas pipeline regulation,and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to suchmatters,vary from state
218、 to state.To the extent effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to allcomparable shippers,we believe that the regulation of oil and natural gas transportation rates will not affect our business inany way that is of material difference from those of our competitors who are si
219、milarly situated.Environmental MattersOur properties are subject to extensive and changing federal,state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment,worker safety and human health.Such requirements may address:the generation,storage,handling,emission,transportation a
220、nd disposal of materials;reclamation or remediation of sites,including former operating areas;the acquisition of a permit or other authorization;air emissions;protection of water supplies;limits on construction,drilling and other activities in wilderness or other environmentally sensitive areas;anda
221、ssessment of environmental impacts.Failure to comply with such requirements may result in a variety of sanctions,including fines,administrative orders andinjunctions.In addition,issuing authorities may revoke,adversely condition or deny permits necessary for our operations.In the opinion of manageme
222、nt,our properties are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations,and we have no material commitments for capital expenditures to comply with existing environmentalrequirements.Nevertheless,changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in interpretations t
223、hereof could havea significant impact on our company,as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general.Significant environmentalrequirements that may affect our operations are described below.The Comprehensive Environmental,Response,Compensation,and Liability Act(“CERCLA”)and comparable statest
224、atutes impose strict liability,and in some cases joint and several liability,on owners and operators of sites and on personswho arranged for the disposal of“hazardous substances”found at such sites.It is not uncommon for neighboringlandowners or other third parties to also file claims for personal i
225、njury and property damage allegedly caused by anyhazardous substances released into the environment.Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definitionof“hazardous substance,”our operations do entail handling other chemicals that may be subject to the statute.In addition,state laws affe
226、cting our properties may impose cleanup liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products.TheFederal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act(“RCRA”)and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of“solidwaste”and“hazardous waste.”Violations may result in substantial fines.Although RCR
227、A currently classifies certain oilfield wastes as“non-hazardous,”such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous,therebysubjecting our operations to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.In some circumstances,moreover,RCRA authorizes both the federal government
228、and private persons to seek injunctions requiring the cleanup of wastes,whether hazardous or non-hazardous.The Endangered Species Act(“ESA”)protects fish,wildlife and plants that are listed as threatened or endangered.Underthe ESA,exploration and production operations may not significantly impair or
229、 jeopardize a protected species or itshabitat.The ESA provides for criminal penalties for willful violations.Our operations also may be subject to other statutesthat protect animals and plants such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.Although we believe that our properties are incompliance with such st
230、atutes,any change in these statutes or any reclassification of a species as endangered could subjectour company(directly or indirectly through our third-party operators)to significant expenses to modify operations,couldforce discontinuation of certain operations altogether and could limit the locati
231、ons our third-party operators may utilize inthe future.Table of Contents14The Clean Air Act(“CAA”)is the comprehensive federal law addressing sources of air emissions.Oil and natural gasproduction and natural gas processing operations are among the many source categories subject to the CAA.Regulated
232、emissions from oil and natural gas operations include sulfur dioxide,volatile organic compounds(“VOCs”)and hazardousair pollutants such as benzene,among others.In particular,the Environmental Protection Agency(“EPA”)announced regulations in December 2023 that impose morecomprehensive restrictions on
233、 emissions of methane(a greenhouse gas)and VOCs from new,existing,and modifiedfacilities in the oil and gas sector(such as wells and storage tank batteries).Among other things,the rule sets newemissions standards for certain equipment;requires routine monitoring for and repair of leaks at well sites
234、,centralizedproduction facilities,and compressor stations;limits flaring from existing oil wells;and prohibits flaring from new oilwells.EPA also established a“Super Emitter Program”to authorize third parties to detect“super emitter events”atoperators sites and report them to EPA.The regulations do
235、provide phase-in periods for certain requirements.And Stateplans for existing sources are due 24 months after the rules effective date.States can either adopt the rules presumptivestandards or develop their own requirements that are at least as strict as EPAs.These regulations or practices and any o
236、thernew rules requiring the installation of more sophisticated pollution control equipment could have a material adverse impacton our business,results of operations and financial condition.The Clean Water Act(the“CWA”)is the primary federal law controlling the discharge of produced waters and otherp
237、ollutants into waters of the United States.Permits must be obtained for such discharges and to conduct constructionactivities in waters and wetlands.Some states also require permits for discharges or operations that may impact groundwater.The CAA,CWA and comparable state statutes authorize civil,cri
238、minal and administrative penalties for violations.Further,the CWA and Oil Pollution Act may impose liability on owners or operators of onshore facilities that impact surfacewaters.Pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act,EPA(or an authorized state)regulates the construction,operation,permitting,andcl
239、osure of injection wells used to place oil and natural gas wastes and other fluids underground for enhanced hydrocarbonrecovery,storage or disposal.The primary objective of injection well operating requirements is to ensure the mechanicalintegrity of the injection apparatus and to prevent migration
240、of fluids from the injection zone into underground sources ofdrinking water.Underground injection associated with oil and gas operations,particularly the disposal of produced water,has been linked in some cases to localized earthquakes.This in turn has led to new legislative and regulatory initiativ
241、es,which have the potential to restrict injection in certain wells or limit operations in certain areas.Certain of the oil and natural gas production in which we have an interest is developed from unconventional sources thatrequire hydraulic fracturing as part of the completion process.Hydraulic fra
242、cturing involves the injection into theformation of water,sand and chemicals under pressure to stimulate production.From time to time,legislation has beenproposed in the United States Congress to repeal the Safe Drinking Water Acts exemption for hydraulic fracturing fromthe definition of“underground
243、 injection”and to require federal permitting of hydraulic fracturing.If ever enacted,suchlegislation would add to costs for hydraulic fracturing.Scrutiny of hydraulic fracturing activities continues in other ways.Several states where our properties are located haveproposed or adopted legislative or
244、regulatory restrictions on hydraulic fracturing.A number of municipalities likewise haveenacted bans on hydraulic fracturing.We cannot predict whether any other legislation restricting hydraulic fracturing willbe enacted and if so,what its provisions would be.If additional levels of regulation and p
245、ermits were to be requiredthrough the adoption of new laws and regulations at the federal,state or local level,it could lead to delays,increasedoperating costs and process prohibitions that could materially adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.The National Environmental Policy Act(
246、“NEPA”)requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of theirproposed actions prior to making decisions.Among the broad range of actions covered by NEPA are decisions on permitapplications and federal land management.Many of the activities of our third-party operators involve federal
247、 decisionssubject to NEPA.Such federal actions may trigger robust NEPA review,which could lead to delays and increased costsTable of Contents15that could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.The Biden Administration reversed changes toNEPA rules enacted under the Trump
248、Administration that had been intended to streamline NEPA review.The revisedregulations lay the foundation for additional scrutiny of impacts on climate change,which could affect the assessment ofprojects ranging from oil and gas leasing to development on public and Indian lands.Climate ChangeClimate
249、 change has become a major public concern and policy issue in the United States and around the world.Much ofthe debate has focused on greenhouse gas(“GHG”)emissions from oil and natural gas,particularly carbon dioxide andmethane.In the United States,there is no comprehensive federal regulatory statu
250、te addressing climate change,although Congress does periodically consider such measures.At the federal level,the United States therefore has primarily addressed climate change through executive actions and regulatory initiatives pursuant to existing statutes.These include rejoining the Paris Agreeme
251、nt on climate change,the Biden Administrations commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to 50-52 percent of 2005 levels,various executive orders,limiting land available for oil and gas leasing,the United States Methane Emissions Reduction Action Plan(intended to reduce overall methane emis
252、sions by 30%below 2020 levels by 2030),and Clean Air Act rules(such as regulation announced in December 2023 to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector).The SEC even promulgated new rules in 2024 that would require disclosure of various specific risks related to climate but promptly iss
253、ued an order staying their applicability pending resolution of legal challenges.In addition,several states have already implemented or are considering programs to reduce GHG emissions.These include cap and trade programs,promotion of alternative forms of energy,transportation standards and restricti
254、ons on particular GHGs.New Mexico,for example,is requiring oil and gas operators to capture 98%of their produced natural gas by December 31,2026,and is limiting most venting and flaring.To the extent that new climate change measures are adopted,our business may be adversely impacted.In addition,rece
255、nt court decisions have left open the question of whether tort claims alleging property damage mayproceed under state common law against entities responsible for GHG emissions.Thus,there is some litigation risk forsuch claims.Legislation or regulations that may be adopted to address climate change c
256、ould also affect the markets for our products bymaking our products more or less desirable than competing sources of energy.To the extent that our products arecompeting with higher GHG emitting energy sources,for example,our products would become more desirable in themarket with more stringent limit
257、ations on GHG emissions.But in 2022,the United States enacted the Inflation ReductionAct that,among other things,creates a series of financial incentives intended to discourage use of oil and natural gas(including imposing a fee on methane emissions)and to promote alternative sources of energy.Pursu
258、ant to that Act,EPAannounced a proposed rule in December 2023 that would implement the program for collecting the annual“WasteEmissions Charge”on certain excess methane emissions from oil and gas facilities.By statute,the charge would be$900per metric ton of methane for 2024,$1,200 per metric ton fo
259、r 2025,and$1,500 per metric ton each year thereafter.To theextent that our products are competing with lower GHG emitting energy sources such as solar and wind,our products maybecome less desirable in the market with such government intervention.We cannot predict with any certainty at this timehow t
260、hese possibilities may affect our operations.Various studies on climate change indicate that extreme weather conditions and other risks may occur in the future in theareas where we operate.Although we have not experienced any material impact from such extreme conditions to date,noassurance can be gi
261、ven that they will not have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.See discussion captioned“Government regulation and liability for oil and natural gas operations and environmental mattersmay adversely affect our business and results of operations”in Item 1A.Risk Factors.InsuranceWe
262、 maintain insurance on our oil and natural gas properties and operations for risks and in amounts customary in theindustry.Such insurance includes,but is not limited to,general liability,excess liability,control of well,operators extraexpense,casualty,fraud,and directors and officers liability cover
263、age.Not all losses are insured,and we retain certainTable of Contents16risks of loss through deductibles,limits,and self-retentions.We do not carry business interruption or lost profits coverage.Human Capital,Sustainability,and ESGEmployeesAs of June 30,2024,we had eleven full-time employees,not inc
264、luding contract personnel and outsourced serviceproviders.Due to our current focus on non-operating properties,our staff is disproportionately weighted towards higherwage professionals.We believe that we have positive relations with our employees.Our team is broadly experienced in oiland natural gas
265、 operations,development,acquisitions,and financing.We follow a strategy of outsourcing most of ourproperty accounting,human resources,administrative,and other non-core functions.For our full-time employees,ourbenefits package,as determined by our Board of Directors,includes medical,dental,and vision
266、 insurance,short-termdisability,401(k)contributions based on a portion of the employees base salary,short and long-term performance-basedand service-based incentive pay(i.e.,annual bonuses and stock awards),and paid time off.Our workforce is provided with annual training and is expected to sign an a
267、cknowledgement regarding our policies anddisclosures which include,but are not limited to,the Corporate Sustainability Report(“CSR”),employee handbook,humanrights,code of ethics,health and safety,emergency procedures,conflicts of interest,insider trading,bribery,kickbacks,discrimination,diversity,eq
268、uity,and inclusion.Sustainability and ESGIn fiscal year 2023,we formed a Sustainability Committee which is responsible for overseeing our Environmental SocialGovernance(“ESG”)initiatives.In fiscal year 2021-2022,under the supervision of our Board of Directors,the Nominatingand Corporate Governance c
269、ommittee,and senior management,the foundation of our sustainability efforts and CSR wereled by an ESG Task Force.Evolutions most recent CSR was published in November 2023.This report is accessible on ourwebsite at .The ESG Task Force formalized our existing ESG programs,proposed and implemented new
270、ESG initiatives,monitoredadherence to our internal and third-party sustainability standards,and provided public disclosures for our stakeholders.Each year,we continue to disclose,enhance,implement,and provide training for a number of new and existing policiesand procedures.These include,but are not
271、limited to:implementing a charitable donation program and employee volunteerinitiatives,an annual company-wide ESG training program for both the Board of Directors and our workforce,implementation of safety inspections and health and safety coordinators,and incorporating ESG considerations into ourc

273、gy resources in environmentally,socially,and ethically respectful andresponsible ways.Our people are critical to our success and as such we promote and maintain a safe and inclusive workenvironment.We strategically plan for the long-term and strive to maintain capital discipline,stakeholder transpar
274、ency,andcontinuous focus on returning capital to shareholders.We work with third-party operators that share our desire to operate and work responsibly,particularly for the naturalenvironments in which they operate.Denbury Inc.,the operator of our Delhi Field property,and now a subsidiary of ExxonMob
275、il,is an industry leader inCarbon Capture,Utilization and Storage with a network of CO2 EOR operations and the United States largest operatedsystem of CO2 transmission pipelines.As of year-end 2022,Denbury reportedly injects over three million tons of capturedindustrial-sourced CO2 annually,and has
276、a goal to reach Net Zero for Scope 1,Scope 2 and Scope 3 CO2 emissions by2030,primarily through increasing the amount of captured industrial-sourced CO2 used in their operations.Table of Contents17Jonah Energy,the operator of our Jonah Field property,is one of the leading sustainable natural gas pro
277、ducers in the U.S.In 2021,Jonah was the first and only U.S.company to achieve the Gold Standard Rating,announced by the United NationsEnvironment Programme International Methane Emissions Observatory.As a non-operator of our current properties,we do not have direct control over environmental initiat
278、ives at a property-level.However,we believe it is important to partner with third-party operators that share our core values and are committed tobeing environmental stewards as they responsibly produce energy resources.We recognize that the expectations,requirements,and responsibilities of operators
279、 regarding safeguarding the environment and environmental stewardshipcontinue to evolve.We are,and will continue to be,committed to supporting our third-party operators as they respond tothese expectations,requirements,and responsibilities.In fiscal year 2023,we implemented our first annual voluntar
280、y Environmental Operator Questionnaire to collect variousenvironmental metrics on behalf of our third-party operators.In addition,we host regular operations meetings with ourthird-party operators in which we discuss asset level operations,expenses,any environmental issues and compliance,including ES
281、G and health and safety related topics.The objectives of these endeavors are to obtain environmental data tobetter disclose the impact of operations,as well as to be better prepared to work with our operating partners in mitigatingpotential environmental impacts.We report in our CSR the estimated Sc
282、ope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions for our corporate office located in Houston,Texas.We are not required to and do not report Scope 1 GHG,or direct,emissions to the EPA as we are not the operator ofour oil and natural gas properties,nor do we have financial control over our oil and natural gas properti
283、es and operations.We prefer to partner with third-party operators that work to reduce their Scope 1 GHG emissions,and we encourage themto accelerate their efforts as appropriate in this regard.Scope 2 GHG emissions are based on indirect emissionsrepresenting purchased electricity.We are one of many
284、tenants leasing space in our corporate office building and do notknow the actual amount of electricity used in our space.As such,we estimate our consumption by multiplying theelectricity purchased for the entire building by the percentage of the floor area that we occupy.Water use is also reported i
285、nthe CSR and is calculated in a similar fashion.We maintain a hotline which operates 24/7/365 and allows anonymous and confidential reporting for employees,consultants,partners,and contractors,including the ability to report concerns or violations of our policies through thephone or internet(Phone:8

289、 statements and otherinformation regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.Table of Contents18Item 1A.Risk FactorsOur business involves a high degree of risk.If any of the following risks,or any risk described elsewhere in this AnnualReport on Form 10-K,actually occurs,our business,fin
290、ancial condition,or results of operations could suffer.The risksdescribed below are not the only ones facing us.Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently considerto be immaterial also may adversely affect us.Risks Related to Our Business:A substantial or extended decline in oi
291、l and natural gas prices may adversely affect our business,financial condition,results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.The price we receive for our oil and natural gas significantly influences our revenue,profitability,access to cap
292、ital,capitalspending,and future rate of growth.At June 30,2024,approximately 37%of our proved reserves were oil reserves,41%were natural gas and 22%were NGLs.Oil,natural gas and NGLs are commodities and their prices are subject to widefluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply an
293、d demand.Historically,the markets for oil,natural gas,and NGLs have been volatile and these markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future.The prices we receive forour production depend on numerous factors beyond our control,including,but not limited to the following:changes in global sup
294、ply and demand for oil and natural gas;worldwide and regional economic conditions impacting the global supply and demand for oil and natural gas;social unrest,political instability or armed conflict in major oil and natural gas producing regions outside theUnited States,such as the conflict between
295、Ukraine and Russia and the conflict between Israel and Gaza,andacts of terrorism or sabotage;the ability and willingness of the members of OPEC+to agree and maintain oil price and production controls;the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;energy transition away from hydroca
296、rbons in response to governmental,scientific,and public concern over thethreat of climate change arising from greenhouse gas emissions;the relative strength or weakness of the U.S.dollar compared to other currencies;the level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production;the level of glob
297、al oil and natural gas inventories;localized supply and demand fundamentals of regional,domestic,and international transportation availability;weather conditions,natural disasters,and seasonal trends;domestic and foreign governmental regulations,including embargoes,sanctions,tariffs,and environmenta
298、lregulations;speculation as to the future price of oil and the speculative trading of oil and natural gas futures contracts;price and availability of competitors supplies of oil and natural gas;technological advances affecting energy consumption;andthe price,availability and use of alternative fuels
299、.Substantially all of our production is sold to purchasers under short-term(less than 12-month)contracts at market-basedprices.A decline in oil,natural gas,and NGL prices will reduce our cash flows,borrowing ability,the present value of ourreserves,and our ability to develop future reserves.We may b
300、e unable to obtain the needed capital or financing onsatisfactory terms.Low oil,natural gas,and NGL prices may also reduce the amount of oil,natural gas,and NGL that wecan produce economically,which could lead to a decline in our oil,natural gas and NGL reserves.Generally,we hedgesubstantially less
301、than all of our anticipated oil and natural gas production and typically only with the requirements of ourSenior Secured Credit Facility.To the extent that we have not hedged production,any significant and extended decline inoil,natural gas,and NGL prices may adversely affect our financial position.
302、Table of Contents19Our existing developed oil and natural gas production will decline;we may be unable to acquire or develop theadditional oil and natural gas reserves that are required in order to sustain our production and business operations.The volume of production from developed oil and natural
303、 gas properties declines as reserves are depleted,with the rate ofdecline depending on reservoir characteristics.Environmental issues,operating problems,or lack of extended futureinvestment in any of our properties would cause our net production of oil,natural gas,and NGLs to decline significantlyov
304、er time,which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.The types of resources we focus on have substantial operational risks.Our business plan focuses on the acquisition and development of known resources in partially depleted,naturally fractured,or low permeability reservoirs
305、.Our Chaveroo oilfield,Hamilton Dome Field and Delhi Field properties produce fromrelatively shallow reservoirs,while our SCOOP/STACK,Jonah Field,Williston Basin and Barnett Shale propertiesproduce from deeper reservoirs.Shallower reservoirs usually have lower pressure,which generally translates int
306、o lowerreserves volumes in place.Deeper reservoirs have higher pressures and usually more reserves volumes in place,butcapturing those reserves often comes at increased drilling and completion costs and risks and,generally,a higher rate ofinitial production decline.Low permeability reservoirs requir
307、e substantial stimulation for development of commercialproduction.Naturally fractured reservoirs require penetration of sufficient un-depleted fractures to establish commercialproduction.Depleted reservoirs require successful application of newer,or more expensive,technologies to produceincremental
308、reserves.Our approach on the development and application of technologies on these different types ofreservoirs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.The CO2-EOR project in the Delhi Field,operated by Denbury,requires significant amounts of CO2 reserves,developmentcapital,
309、and technical expertise,the sources of which to date have been committed by the operator.On November 2,2023,ExxonMobil acquired Denbury.Additional capital remains to be invested to fully develop the EOR project and maximizethe value of the properties.The operators failure to manage these and other t
310、echnical,environmental,operational,strategic,financial,and logistical risks may ultimately cause enhanced recoveries from the planned CO2-EOR project tofall short of our expectations in volume and/or timing.Such occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our resultsof operations and financi
311、al condition.We have limited control over the activities on properties we do not operate.All of our property interests are operated by third-party working interest owners,not by us.As a result,we have limitedability to influence or control the operations or future development of such properties,incl
312、uding compliance withenvironmental,safety,and other standards,or the amount of capital or other expenditures that we will be required to fundwith respect to such properties.Operators of these properties may act in ways that are not in our best interest.Moreover,weare dependent on the other working i
313、nterest owners of such projects to fund their contractual share of the capitalexpenditures of such projects.These limitations and our dependence on the operator and other working interest owners forthese projects could cause us to incur unexpected future costs,result in lower production,and material
314、ly and adverselyaffect our financial condition and results of operations.We will be subject to risks in connection with acquisitions.We periodically evaluate acquisitions of reserves,properties,prospects,leaseholds,and other strategic transactions thatappear to fit within our overall business strate
315、gy.The successful acquisition of producing properties requires an assessmentof several factors,including,but not limited to:recoverable reserves;future oil and natural gas prices and their appropriate differentials;development and operating costs;potential for future drilling and production;validity
316、 of the sellers title to properties,which may be less than expected at closing;andpotential environmental issues,litigation,and other liabilities.The accuracy of these assessments is inherently uncertain.In connection with these assessments,we perform a review ofthe subject properties that we believ
317、e to be generally consistent with industry practices.Our review will not reveal allTable of Contents20existing or potential problems nor will it permit us to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to fully assess theirdeficiencies and potential recoverable reserves.Inspections may not alwa
318、ys be performed on every well,andenvironmental problems are not necessarily observable at the ground surface or otherwise when an inspection is performed.Even when problems are identified,the seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protectionagainst all or part of the prob
319、lems.Moreover,in the event of such an acquisition,there is a risk that we could ultimately beliable for unknown obligations related to acquisitions and,importantly,that our assumptions regarding future oil andnatural gas prices,differentials,reserves,or production could prove materially inaccurate a
320、nd have a material adverseeffect on our financial condition,results of operations,or cash flows.Our inability to complete acquisitions at our historical rate and at appropriate prices,that support our long-termstrategy,could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.One of our key strategies
321、 is growth through acquisition of low decline,long-life oil and natural gas properties.Our abilityto grow revenues,earnings and cash flow at or above our historic rates depends in part upon our ability to identify andsuccessfully acquire and integrate oil and natural gas properties at appropriate pr
322、ices,and to make appropriate investmentsthat support our long-term strategy.We may not be able to consummate acquisitions at rates similar to the past,whichcould adversely impact our growth rate and our stock price.Acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a numberof reasons,including
323、high valuations,competition among prospective buyers or investors,the availability of affordablefunding in the capital markets and the need to satisfy applicable closing conditions.We may encounter difficulties integrating the operations of newly acquired oil and natural gas properties or businesses
324、.Increasing our reserve base through acquisitions has been an important part of our business strategy.We may encounterdifficulties integrating newly acquired oil and natural gas properties or businesses.In particular,we may face significantchallenges in consolidating functions and integrating proced
325、ures,personnel,and business operations in an effectivemanner.The failure to successfully integrate such properties or businesses into our Company may adversely affect ourbusiness and results of operations.Any acquisition we make may involve numerous risks,including:a significant increase in our inde
326、btedness and working capital requirements;the inability to timely and effectively integrate the operations of recently acquired businesses or assets;the incurrence of substantial costs to address unforeseen environmental and other liabilities arising out of theacquired businesses or assets;liabiliti
327、es arising from the operation of the acquired businesses or assets before our acquisition;our lack of drilling or operational history in the areas in which the acquired business operates;customer or key employee loss from the acquired business;increased administration of new personnel;additional cos
328、ts due to increased scope and complexity of our business;potential disruption of our ongoing business;andassumptions made on estimated development by the operator may not be accurate or may change.Additionally,significant acquisitions can change the nature of our operations and business depending up
329、on the character ofthe acquired properties,which may have substantially different operating and geological characteristics or be in differentgeographic locations than our existing properties.To the extent that we acquire properties substantially different from theproperties we currently own or that
330、require different technical expertise,we may not be able to realize the economicbenefits of these acquisitions as effectively as with acquisitions within our current footprint and expertise.We may not besuccessful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acq
331、uisition we may make.Table of Contents21Oil and natural gas development,re-completion of wells from one reservoir to another reservoir,restoring wells toproduction,and drilling and completing new wells are speculative activities which involve numerous risks andsubstantial uncertain costs.Our growth
332、will be partially dependent upon the success of future development programs on our properties.Drilling for oiland natural gas and extracting NGLs and re-working existing wells involve numerous risks.The cost of drilling,completing,and operating wells is substantial and uncertain;drilling operations
333、may be curtailed,delayed,or canceled as aresult of a variety of factors beyond our control,including,but not limited to:unexpected drilling conditions;pressure fluctuations or irregularities in reservoir formations;equipment failures or accidents;well blowouts and other releases of hazardous materials;inability to obtain or maintain leases on economic terms,where applicable;the cost and availabili
