Table of Contents

Proved developed reserves – Reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate. For additional information, see the SEC’s definition in Rule 4-10(a)(6) of Regulation S-X.

Proved reserves – Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which the contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. For additional information, see the SEC’s definition in Rule 4-10(a)(22)(i) through (v) of Regulation S-X.

Proved undeveloped reserves – Proved reserves expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. For additional information, see the SEC’s definition in Rule 4-10(a)(431) of Regulation S-X.

Reasonable certainty (regarding reserves) – If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means high confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.

Reliable technology – A grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

•our estimates of any ceiling test write-downs or other potential asset impairments we may have to record in future periods; and

•our ability to carry out our post reorganization plans.

These statements are based on our assumptions and analyses considering our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions is subject to risks and uncertainties, any one or combination of which could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. Some of these risks and uncertainties are:

•the risk factors discussed in this document and the documents (if any) we incorporate by reference;

•general economic, market, or business conditions;

•the availability and nature of (or lack of) business opportunities we pursue;

•demand for our land drilling services;

•changes in laws and regulations;

•changes in the current geopolitical situation, such as the current conflict occurring between Russia and Ukraine;

•other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

You should not construe this list to be exhaustive. We believe the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable. However, there is no assurance that the actions, events, or results expressed in forward-looking statements will occur, or if any of them do, of their timing or what impact they will have on our results of operations or financial condition. Because of these uncertainties, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking information and to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after this document to reflect incorrect assumptions or unanticipated events.

GENERAL

We were founded in 1963 as an oil and natural gas contract drilling company. ~~Today,~~and ~~besides~~have ~~our~~since ~~drilling~~grown ~~operations,~~to weinclude ~~have~~ operations in ~~the~~ exploration and production ~~and~~as well as investments in mid-stream ~~areas~~. We operate, manage, and analyze our results of operations through our three principal business segments:

•Oil and Natural Gas – carried out by our subsidiary Unit Petroleum Company. This segment ~~explores~~produces, develops, ~~acquires,~~ and ~~produces~~acquires oil and natural gas properties for our account. The company initiated an asset divestiture program at the beginning of 2021 to sell certain non-core oil and gas properties and reserves (the “Divestiture Program”). On October 4, 2021, the company announced that it is expanding the Divestiture Program to now include the potential sale of additional properties, including up to all of UPC’s oil and gas properties and reserves. On January 20, 2022, the company announced that it has retained a financial advisor and launched the process.

•Contract Drilling – carried out by our subsidiary Unit Drilling Company. This segment contracts to drill onshore oil and natural gas wells for ~~others~~third parties and for our ~~account~~oil and natural gas segment.

•Mid-Stream – carried out by Superior and its subsidiaries. This segment buys, sells, gathers, processes, and treats natural gas and NGLs for third parties and for our own account. We hold a 50% investment in Superior.

Each company may conduct operations through subsidiaries of its own. We also have several other subsidiaries, none of which conduct material operations.

Emergence From Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

On May 22, 2020, the Debtors filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The Chapter 11 proceedings were jointly administered under the caption In re Unit Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-32740 (DRJ). During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors operated their business as "debtors-in-possession" under the authority of the bankruptcy court and under the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors filed their Plan and the related disclosure statement with the bankruptcy court on June 9, 2020. On August 6, 2020, the bankruptcy court entered the “Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order (I) Approving the Disclosure Statement on a Final Basis and (II) Confirming the Debtors’ Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization” [Docket No. 340] (Confirmation Order) confirming the Plan. On September 3, 2020, the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases.

2021 SEGMENT OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS

Oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves cannot be measured exactly. Estimates of those reserves require extensive judgments of reservoir engineering data and are generally less precise than other estimates made in financial disclosures.

Company Reserve Estimation and Technical Qualifications

Our Reservoir Engineering department is responsible for reserve determination for the wells in which we have an interest. Their primary objective is to estimate the wells' future reserves and future net value to us. Data is incorporated from multiple sources including geological, production engineering, marketing, production, land, and accounting departments. The engineers review this information for accuracy as it is incorporated into the reservoir engineering database. Management reviews our internal controls to help provide assurance all the data has been provided. New well reserve estimates are provided to management and the respective operational divisions for additional scrutiny. Major reserve changes on existing wells are reviewed regularly with the operational divisions to confirm completeness and accuracy. As the external audit is being completed, the reservoir department reviews all properties for accuracy of forecasting.

Responsibility for overseeing the preparation of our reserve report is shared by our reservoir engineers Derek Smith and Troy Pickens.

Mr. Smith received a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering with a Minor in Business from the University of Tulsa in 2005. He then worked for Apache Corporation through 2008 and joined Unit in 2009 as a Corporate Reserves Engineer involved in reserve evaluation, acquisition appraisals, and prospect reviews with increasing levels of responsibility. In 2020, he was given the responsibility of managing the Corporate Reserves. He has been a member of SPE since 2000 and joined the SPEE in 2018.

Mr. Pickens earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with Minors in Math and Entrepreneurship from Baylor University in 2014. He began employment with Unit as an Engineering Intern in the Summers of 2012 and 2013 and joined the company full time as a Production Engineer in 2014. He worked as a production engineer over various company assets with increasing levels of responsibility through 2019. In 2019 he transitioned into a Reservoir Engineering role, where he has been involved in reserve evaluation, project and asset development planning, and acquisition and divestiture assessment.

As part of their continuing education Mr. Smith and Mr. Pickens have attended various seminars and forums to enhance their understanding of current standards and issues for reserves presentation. These forums have included those sponsored by various professional societies and professional service firms including Ryder Scott.

Ryder Scott Audit and Technical Qualifications

We use Ryder Scott to audit the reserves prepared by our reservoir engineers. Ryder Scott has been providing petroleum consulting services internationally since 1937. Their summary report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-K. The wells or locations for which reserve estimates were audited were taken from our reserve and income projections as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, and comprised approximately 8586% of the total proved developed future net income discounted at 10% (based on the SEC's unescalated pricing policy).

Mr. Robert J. Paradiso was the primary technical person responsible for overseeing the estimate of the reserves prepared by Ryder Scott.

Definitions and Other Proved Reserve Information.

For proved reserves, the area of the reservoir considered as "proved" includes:

•The area identified by drilling and limited by any fluid contacts, and

•Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with the reservoir and to contain economically producible oil or gas based on available geosciences and engineering data.

Absent data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as incurred in a well penetration unless geosciences, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geosciences, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

•Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than the reservoir as a whole;

•The operation of an installed program in the reservoir or other evidence using reliable technology establishes reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

•The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price used is the average of the prices over the 12 months before the ending date of the period covered by the report and is an unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves. As of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had nonot recorded any proved undeveloped reserves.

Our estimated proved reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of the proved reserves at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, the changes in quantities, and standardized measure of those reserves for the years then ended, are shown in the Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures in Item 8 of this report.

Contracts. Our oil production is sold at or near our wells under purchase contracts at prevailing prices under arrangements customary in the oil industry. Our natural gas production is sold to intrastate and interstate pipelines and independent marketing firms under contracts with terms generally ranging from one month to a year. Few of these contracts contain provisions for readjustment of price as most are market sensitive.

Customers. One third-party customer accounted for 1110% of our oil and natural gas revenues during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and no other company accounted for over 10% of our oil and natural gas revenues besides ~~our~~affiliate ~~mid-stream~~transactions ~~segment.~~with ~~Our~~our ~~mid-stream~~Superior ~~segment~~investment.

CONTRACT DRILLING

General. Our contract drilling business is conducted through Unit Drilling Company. ~~Through~~We ~~this company we~~ drill onshore oil and natural gas wells for ~~ourselves~~a wide range of other oil and natural gas companies as well as for ~~others~~our own account. Our drilling operations are ~~mainly~~primarily located in Oklahoma, Texas, ~~and~~ New Mexico, Wyoming, and North Dakota.

Description and Location of Our Drilling Rigs. An on-shore drilling rig is composed of major equipment components like engines, drawworks or hoists, derrick or mast, substructure, mud pumps, blowout preventers, top drives, and drill pipe. Because of the normal wear and tear from operating 24 hours a day, several of the major components, like engines, mud pumps, top drives, and drill pipe, must be replaced or overhauled periodically. Other major components, like the substructure, mast, and drawworks, can be used for extended periods with proper inspections and maintenance. We also own additional equipment used in operating our drilling rigs, including iron roughnecks, automated catwalks, skidding systems, large air compressors, trucks, and other support equipment.

Fluctuating commodity prices directly affect the number of drilling rigs we can put to work, both positively and negatively. Generally, sustained higher commodity prices lead to greater demand for drilling rigs, while demand and rates tends to fall as commodity prices decline for any extended period. Drilling rig utilization increased during ~~2021~~2022 as commodity prices increased. The number of drilling rigs we can work also depends on several conditions besides demand, including the availability of qualified labor as well as the availability of needed drilling supplies and equipment.

These proceeds resulted in net gains of $8.4 million and $10.1 million during the ~~year~~twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Drilling Contracts. Our third-party drilling contracts are generally obtained through competitive bidding on a well-by-well basis. Contract terms and payment rates vary depending on the type of contract used, the duration of the work, the equipment and services supplied, and other matters. We pay certain operating expenses, including the wages of our drilling rig personnel, maintenance expenses, and incidental drilling rig supplies and equipment. The contracts are usually subject to early termination by the customer subject to the payment of a fee. Our contracts also contain provisions regarding indemnification against certain types of claims involving injury to persons, property, and for acts of pollution. The specific terms of these indemnifications are negotiated on a contract-by-contract basis.

~~Most~~All of our drilling contracts during ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were daywork contracts. Under a daywork contract, we provide the drilling rig with the required personnel and the operator supervises the drilling of the well. Our daywork compensation is based on a negotiated rate to be paid for each day the drilling rig is used.

Most of our contracts are term contracts, with the rest being either well-to-well or pad-to-pad contracts. Term contracts can range from months to multiple years and the rates can either be fixed throughout the term or allow for periodic adjustments.

Customers. Five customers accounted for 7971% of our contract drilling revenues during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022. No other third-party customer accounted for 10% or more of our contract drilling revenues.

Our contract drilling segment may also provide drilling services for our oil and natural gas segment. ~~The contract drilling segment did not drill any wells for our oil and natural gas segment in 2021.~~ Depending on the timing of the drilling services performed on our properties, those services may be deemed, for financial reporting purposes, to be associated with acquiring an ownership interest in the property. Revenues and expenses for these services are eliminated in our statement of operations, with any profit recognized reducing our investment in our oil and natural gas properties. We eliminated $0.4 million of contract drilling revenue and $0.2 million of contract drilling operating costs during the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in a net reduction of $0.1 million to our investment in oil and natural gas properties.

MID-STREAM

General. Our mid-stream operations are conducted through Superior Pipeline Company, L.L.C. and its subsidiaries, of which we ~~presently~~ own a 50% interest. Superior's operations consist of buying, selling, gathering, processing, and treating natural gas. ItSuperior operates 3three natural gas treatment plants, 12 processing plants, 18 active gathering systems, and approximately 3,~~822~~802 miles of pipeline. Superior and its subsidiaries operate in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Superior is governed and managed under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (Agreement) and a Management Services Agreement (MSA). The MSA is between our wholly-owned subsidiary, SPC Midstream Operating, L.L.C. (the Operator) and Superior. As the Operator, we provide services, such as operations and maintenance support, accounting, legal, and human resources to Superior for a monthly service fee of $0.3 million.

The Agreement specifies how future distributions are to be allocated among the Members. Distributions from Available Cash (as defined in the Agreement) were generally split evenly between the Members prior to December 31, 2021, when the three-year period for Unit's commitment to spend $150.0 million (Drilling Commitment Amount) to drill wells in the Granite Wash/Buffalo Wallow area ended. The total amount spent by Unit towards the Drilling Commitment Amount was $24.6 million. Accordingly, SP Investor will receive 100% of Available Cash distributions related to periods subsequent to December 31, 2021 until the $72.7 million Drilling Commitment Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Agreement) is satisfied.

Contracts. Our mid-stream segment provides its customers with a full range of gathering, processing, and treating services. These services are usually provided to each customer under long-term contracts (more than one year), but we also have short-term contracts. Our customer agreements include these types of contracts:

•Fee-Based Contracts. These contracts provide for a set fee for gathering, transporting, compressing, and treating services. Our mid-stream’s revenue is a function of the volume of natural gas and is not directly dependent on the value of natural gas. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 76% of our mid-stream segment’s total volumes and 73% of its operating margins (as defined below) were under fee-based contracts.

•Commodity-Based Contracts. These contracts consist of several contract structure types. Under these contract structures, our mid-stream segment purchases the raw well-head natural gas and settles with the producer at a stipulated price while retaining all sales proceeds from third parties or retains a negotiated percentage of the sales proceeds from the residue natural gas and NGLs it gathers and processes, with the remainder being paid to the producer. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 24% of our mid-stream segment’s total volumes and 27% of operating margins (as defined below) were under commodity-based contracts.

For each of the above contract types, operating margin is defined as total operating revenues less operating expenses and does not include depreciation, amortization, and impairment, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, or income taxes.

Customers. Three customers accounted for 58% of our mid-stream revenues. We believe that there are other customers available to purchase our natural gas and NGLs if we were to lose these customers. Superior purchased $48.0 million of our oil and natural gas segment's natural gas and NGLs production, and provided gathering and transportation services of $3.3 million. Intercompany revenue from services and purchases of production between Superior and our oil and natural gas segment has been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

COMPETITION

All our businesses are highly competitive and price sensitive. Competition in the contract drilling business traditionally involves factors such as demand, price, efficiency, the condition of equipment, availability of labor and equipment, reputation, and customer relations.

Our oil and natural gas operations likewise encounter strong competition from other oil and natural gas companies. Many competitors have greater financial, technical, and other resources than we do and have more experience than we do in the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas. Our drilling success and the success of other activities integral to our operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced geologists, engineers, and other professionals during times of increased competition as competition for these professionals can be intense.

HUMAN CAPITAL

We believe that our employees are critical to our future success, and seek to provide competitive compensation and benefits ~~in order~~ to attract and retain a skilled workforce. We care about the well-being and development of our employees, and aim to provide a culture of respect and collaboration by supporting employee training and development. We are also very focused on maintaining a culture of continuous improvement in safety and environmental practices -as safety and environmental stewardship are at the forefront of everything that we do.

As of ~~March~~December 331, 2022, we had ~~788~~653 employees, none of whom are members of a union or labor organization. Our workforce includes ~~478~~512 employees in our contract drilling segment, ~~136~~102 employees in our oil and natural gas segment, ~~128 employees in our mid-stream segment,~~ and 4639 in our general corporate group. We also periodically utilize the services of independent contractors. We have not experienced any strikes or work-force stoppages.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

General. Our business depends on the demand for services from the oil and natural gas exploration and development industry, and therefore our business can be affected by political developments and changes in laws and regulations that control or curtail drilling for oil and natural gas for economic, environmental, or other policy reasons.

Various state and federal regulations affect the production and sale of oil and natural gas. All states in which we conduct activities impose varying restrictions on the drilling, production, transportation, and sale of oil and natural gas. This discussion of certain laws and regulations affecting our operations should not be relied on as an exhaustive review of all regulatory considerations affecting us, due to the multitude of complex federal, state, and local regulations, and their susceptibility to change at any time by later agency actions and court rulings that may affect our operations.

Natural Gas Sales and Transportation. Under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, FERC regulates the interstate transportation and the sale in interstate commerce for resale of natural gas. FERC’s authority over interstate natural gas sales has been substantially modified by the Natural Gas Policy Act under which FERC continued to regulate the maximum selling prices of certain categories of gas sold in “first sales” in interstate and intrastate commerce. Effective January 1, 1993, however, the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act (the Decontrol Act) deregulated natural gas prices for all “first sales” of natural gas. Because “first sales” include typical wellhead sales by producers, all-natural gas produced from our natural gas properties is sold at market prices, subject to the terms of any private contracts which may be in effect. FERC’s authority over interstate natural gas transportation is not affected by the Decontrol Act.

Our sales of natural gas are affected by intrastate and interstate gas transportation regulation. Beginning in 1985, FERC adopted regulatory changes that have significantly altered the transportation and marketing of natural gas. These changes are intended by FERC to foster competition by, among other things, transforming the role of interstate pipeline companies from wholesale marketers of natural gas to the primary role of gas transporters. All-natural gas marketing by the pipelines must divest to a marketing affiliate, which operates separately from the transporter and in direct competition with all other merchants. Because of the various omnibus rulemaking proceedings in the late 1980s and the later individual pipeline restructuring proceedings of the early to mid-1990s, interstate pipelines must provide open and nondiscriminatory transportation and transportation-related services to all producers, natural gas marketing companies, local distribution companies, industrial end users, and other customers seeking service. Through similar orders affecting intrastate pipelines that provide similar interstate services, FERC expanded the impact of open access regulations to certain aspects of intrastate commerce.

Table of Contents

FERC has pursued other policy initiatives that affected natural gas marketing. Most notable are (1) the large-scale divestiture of interstate pipeline-owned gas gathering facilities to affiliated or non-affiliated companies; (2) further development of rules governing the relationship of the pipelines with their marketing affiliates; (3) the publication of standards relating to using electronic bulletin boards and electronic data exchange by the pipelines to make available transportation information timely and to enable transactions to occur on a purely electronic basis; (4) further review of the role of the secondary market for released pipeline capacity and its relationship to open access service in the primary market; and (5) development of policy and promulgation of orders pertaining to its authorization of market-based rates (rather than traditional cost-of-service based rates) for transportation or transportation-related services on the pipeline’s demonstration of lack of market control in the relevant service market.

Because of these changes, independent sellers and buyers of natural gas have gained direct access to the pipeline services they need and can better conduct business with a larger number of counter parties. These changes generally have improved the access to markets for natural gas while substantially increasing competition in the natural gas marketplace. However, we cannot predict what new or different regulations FERC and other regulatory agencies may adopt or what effect later regulations may have on production and marketing of natural gas from our properties.

Although in the past Congress has been very active in natural gas regulation as discussed above, the more recent trend has been for deregulation and the promotion of competition in the natural gas industry. In addition to “first sales” deregulation, Congress also repealed incremental pricing requirements and natural gas use restraints previously applicable. There continually are legislative proposals pending in the Federal and state legislatures which, if enacted, would significantly affect the petroleum industry. It is impossible to predict what proposals might be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures and what effect these proposals might have on the production and marketing of natural gas by us. Similarly, and despite the trend toward federal deregulation of the natural gas industry, whether or to what extent that trend will continue or what the ultimate effect will be on the production and marketing of natural gas by us cannot be predicted.

Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Sales and Transportation. Our sales of oil and natural gas liquids currently are not regulated and are at market prices. The prices received from the sale of these products are affected by the cost of transporting these products to market. Much of that transportation is through interstate common carrier pipelines. Effective as of January 1, 1995, FERC implemented regulations generally grandfathering all previously approved interstate transportation rates and establishing an indexing system for those rates by which adjustments are made annually based on the rate of inflation, subject to certain conditions and limitations. These regulations may increase the cost of transporting oil and natural gas liquids by interstate pipeline, although the annual adjustments could cause decreased rates in a given year. These regulations have generally been approved on judicial review. Every five years, FERC examines the relationship between the annual change in the index and the actual cost changes experienced by the oil pipeline industry and makes any necessary adjustment in the index to be used during the ensuing five years. We cannot predict with certainty what effect the periodic review of the index by FERC will have on us.

Exploration and Production Activities. Federal, state, and local agencies also have promulgated extensive rules and regulations applicable to our oil and natural gas exploration, production, and related operations. The states we operate in require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and filing reports about operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration of oil and natural gas. Many states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, and regulating spacing, plugging and, abandonment of such wells. The statutes and regulations of some states limit the rate at which oil and natural gas is produced from our properties. The federal and state regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Because these rules and regulations are amended or reinterpreted frequently, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.

Environmental.

General. Our operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws and regulations may require acquisition of permits before certain of our operations may be commenced and may restrict the types, quantities, and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment. Planning and implementation of protective measures must prevent accidental discharges. Spills of oil, natural gas liquids, drilling fluids, and other substances may subject us to penalties and cleanup requirements. Handling, storage, and disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are subject to regulatory requirements.

The federal Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act, the federal Clean Air Act, the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and their state counterparts, are the primary vehicles for imposition of such requirements and for civil, criminal, and administrative penalties and other sanctions for violation of their requirements. In addition, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar state statutes impose strict liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons considered responsible for the release of hazardous substances into the environment. Such liability, which may be imposed for the conduct of others and for conditions others have caused, includes the cost of remedial action and damages to natural resources. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 amends the Clean Water Act and establishes strict liability for owners and operators of12

facilities that cause a release of oil into waters of the United States. In addition, this law requires owners and operators of

facilities that store oil above specified threshold amounts to develop and implement spill prevention, control and

countermeasure plans.

Water Discharges. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act, and comparable state laws impose restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of pollutants, including produced waters and other oil and natural gaswastes, into federal and state waters. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state equivalent agency. The discharge of dredge and fill material in regulated waters, including wetlands, is also prohibited, unless authorized by a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The scope of the Clean Water Act’s jurisdiction has been the subject of significant uncertainty and litigation in recent years. For example, under the Obama Administration, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers proposed a new expansive definition of the “waters of the United States,” known as the “Clean Water Rule.” However, during the Trump Administration, the EPA and the Corps replaced the Clean Water Rule with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR), which narrows the definition of “waters of the United States” to four categories of jurisdictional waters and includes twelve categories of exclusions, including groundwater; however, these rulemakings are currently subject to litigation and it is possible that the Biden Administration could propose a broader definition for these regulated waters. Both the Clean Water Rule and the NWPR are subject to ongoing litigation, with the Clean Water Rule in effect in certain states and the NWPR in effect in others. In addition, in an April 2020 decision defining the scope of the Clean Water Act that was handed down just days after the NWPR was published, the U.S. Supreme Court held that, in certain cases, discharges from a point source to groundwater could fall within the scope of the Clean Water Act and require a permit. The Court rejected the EPA’s and Corps’ assertion that groundwater should be totally excluded from the Clean Water Act. The Court’s decision is expected to bolster challenges to the NWPR.” As a result of these developments, the scope of jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act is uncertain at this time.

Table of Contents

To the extent any rule expands the scope of the Clean Water Act’s jurisdiction in areas where we operate, we could face increased costs and delays with respect to obtaining permits for dredge and fill activities in wetland areas, which could delay the development of our natural gas and oil projects. Similarly, any increased costs or delays for such permits may impact the development of pipeline infrastructure, which may impact our ability to transport our products. Also, pursuant to these laws and regulations, we may be required to obtain and maintain approvals or permits for the discharge of wastewater or storm water and are required to develop and implement spill prevention, control and countermeasure plans, also referred to as “SPCC plans,” in connection with on-site storage of significant quantities of oil. These laws and any implementing regulations provide for administrative, civil and criminal penalties for any unauthorized discharges of oil and other substances in reportable quantities and may impose substantial potential liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages.

Hazardous Substances and Waste Management. RCRA and comparable state statutes regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Pursuant to rules issued by the EPA, individual state governments administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of oil or natural gas are currently regulated under RCRA’s non-hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil, natural gas, and drilling and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future.

Table of Contents

CERCLA, also known as the Superfund law, imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the current and former owners and operators of the site where the release occurred and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. We generate materials during our operations that may be regulated as hazardous substances. Despite the “petroleum exclusion” of CERCLA, which currently encompasses crude oil and natural gas, we may nonetheless generate or handle hazardous substances within the meaning of CERCLA, or similar state statutes, in the course of our ordinary operations and, as a result, may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which these hazardous substances have been released into the environment. In addition, we currently own, lease, or operate numerous properties that have been used for oil and natural gas exploration, production and processing for many years. Although we believe that we have utilized operating and waste disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons may have been released on, under or from the properties owned or leased by us, or on, under or from other locations, including off-site locations, where such substances have been taken for disposal. Under such laws, we could be required to undertake investigatory, response, or corrective measures, which could include soil and groundwater sampling, the removal of previously disposed substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated property, or remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination, the costs of which could be substantial.

Endangered Species Act. The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and analogous state laws regulate many activities, including oil and gas development, which could have an adverse effect on species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA or their habitats. Designating previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause oil and natural gas exploration and production operators and service companies to incur additional costs or become subject to operating delays, restrictions or bans in affected areas, which impacts could adversely reduce drilling activities in affected areas. All three of our business segments could be subject to the effect of one or more species being listed as threatened or endangered within the areas of our operations. Numerous species have been listed or are under consideration for protected status under the ESA in areas in which we provide or could undertake operations, such as the dunes sagebrush lizard, lesser prairie chicken, and greater sage grouse. In addition, the Supreme Court held in 2018 that only the actual habitat of an endangered species can be designated critical habitat, meaning that an uninhabited area that otherwise meets the definition of critical habitat should not be so designated. Following this decision, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service NMFS) issued joint regulations in December 2020 defining critical habitat to mean an area that currently or periodically contains the resources and conditions necessary to support a species listed under the ESA. The Department of Interior (DOI) also finalized rules in January 2021 under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which imposes similar restrictions and penalties as those found under the ESA, that limit the imposition of criminal sanctions in instances where only an incidental take of protected birds occurs. The Biden Administration has stated that it plans to review the FWS, NMFS, and DOI regulations and has paused implementation of the DOI rules. The presence of protected species in areas where we provide contract drilling or mid-stream services or conduct exploration and production operations could impair our ability to timely complete or carry out those services and, consequently, hurt our results of operations and financial position.

Air Emissions. The federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources, such as tank batteries and compressor stations, through air emissions standards, construction and operating permitting programs and the imposition of other compliance requirements. These laws and regulations may require us to obtain preapproval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions of certain pollutants. The EPA has also adopted rules under the Clean Air Act that require the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions from certain fractured and refractured natural gas wells for which well completion operations are conducted and further require that most wells use reduced emission completions, also known as “green completions.” These regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from production-related wet seal and reciprocating compressors and from pneumatic controllers and storage vessels. The EPA expanded on its emission standards for volatile organic compounds in June 2016 with the issuance of first-time standards to address emissions of methane from equipment and processes across oil and natural gas production, storage, processing and transmission sources, including hydraulically fractured oil natural gas and well completions.

Climate Change. Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. As a result, our operations as well as the operations of our operators are subject to a series of regulatory, political, litigation, and financial risks associated with the production and processing of fossil fuels and emission of ~~greenhouse gases (~~GHGs). At the federal level, no comprehensive climate change law or regulation has been implemented to date. The EPA has, however, adopted regulations that, among other things, establish construction and operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources, and together with the U.S. Department of Transportation, implement GHG emissions limits on vehicles manufactured for operation in the United States. The federal regulation of methane emissions from oil and gas facilities has been subject to controversy in recent years. For more information, see our regulatory disclosure titled “Air Emissions.”

Governmental, scientific, and public concern over the threat of climate change arising from GHG emissions has resulted in increasing political risks in the United States, including climate change related pledges made by the recently elected administration. These have included promises to limit emissions and curtail the production of oil and gas on federal lands, such as through the cessation of leasing public land for hydrocarbon development. For example, in January 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that commits to substantial action on climate change, calling for, among other things, the increased use of zero-emissions vehicles by the federal government, the elimination of subsidies provided to the fossil fuel industry, and increased emphasis on climate-related risk across governmental agencies and economic sectors. Additionally, President Biden has signed executive orders recommitting the United States to the Paris Agreement, which requires member nations to submit non-binding, individually determined GHG emission reduction goals every five years after 2020. The impacts of these orders and the terms of any legislation or regulation to implement the United States’ commitment under the Paris Agreement remain unclear at this time. There are also increasing financial risks for fossil fuel producers as shareholders currently invested in fossil-fuel energy companies may elect in the future to shift some or all of their investments into non-energy related sectors. Institutional lenders who provide financing to fossil-fuel energy companies also have become more attentive to sustainable lending practices and some of them may elect not to provide funding for fossil fuel energy companies. There is also a risk that financial institutions will be required to adopt policies that have the effect of reducing the funding provided to the fossil fuel sector. Recently, the Federal Reserve announced that it has joined the Network for Greening the Financial System, a consortium of financial regulators focused on addressing climate-related risks in the financial sector. Limitation of investments in and financings for fossil fuel energy companies could result in the restriction, delay or cancellation of drilling programs or development or production activities.

The adoption and implementation of new or more stringent international, federal or state legislation, regulations or other regulatory initiatives that impose more stringent standards upon GHG emissions from the oil and natural gas sector could result in increased costs of compliance. Concerns related to the impacts of climate change could also result in reduced demand for oil and natural gas and adversely impact the value of reserves. In addition, increased financial scrutiny of climate risks could result in restrictions on our access to capital. Moreover, there are increasing risks to operations resulting from the potential physical impacts of climate change, such as drought, wildfires, damage to infrastructure and resources from flooding, storms, and other natural disasters and other physical disruptions. One or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

In December 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. The final report concluded that certain activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources under certain limited circumstances. Both the EPA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have made statements indicating that the disposal of wastes associated with hydraulic fracturing via injection wells may result in induced seismic events. Several states, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, have adopted measures limiting disposal well operations in areas under certain circumstances.

At the state level, several states, including Texas, have adopted or are considering legal requirements that require oil and natural gas operators to disclose chemical ingredients and water volumes used to hydraulically fracture wells, in addition to more stringent well construction and monitoring requirements. Local governments may also adopt ordinances within their jurisdictions regulating the time, place and manner of drilling activities in general or hydraulic fracturing activities in particular.Any new laws, regulation, or permitting requirements regarding hydraulic fracturing could lead to operational delay, or increased operating costs or third party or governmental claims, and could result in additional burdens that could delay or limit the drilling services we provide to third parties whose drilling operations could be affected by these regulations or increase our costs of compliance and doing business and delay the development of unconventional gas resources from shale formations which are not commercial without using hydraulic fracturing. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the oil and natural gas we can ultimately produce from our reserves.

Other; Compliance Costs. We cannot predict future legislation or regulations. It is possible that some future laws, regulations, and/or ordinances could increase our compliance costs and/or impose additional operating restrictions on us as well as those of our customers. Such future developments also might curtail the demand for fossil fuels which could hurt the demand for our services, which could hurt our future results of operations. Likewise, we cannot predict with any certainty whether any changes to temperature, storm intensity or precipitation patterns because of climate change (or otherwise) will have a material impact on our operations.

Compliance with applicable environmental requirements has not, to date, had a material effect on the cost of our operations, earnings, or competitive position. However, as noted above in our discussion of the regulation of GHG and hydraulic fracturing, compliance with amended, new, or more stringent requirements of existing environmental regulations or requirements may cause us to incur additional costs or subject us to liabilities that may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

RISKS CONCERNING COMMODITY PRICES

Our business is heavily affected by commodity prices. Oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices are volatile, and low prices have hurt our financial results and could do so in the future.

Our revenues, operating results, cash flow, and growth depend on prevailing prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas. Oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile, and they are likely to remain volatile.

The prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production affect our revenues, profitability, cash flow, and ability to meet our projected financial and operational goals. Prices also tend to influence third parties use of our services. Those prices are decided by many factors beyond our control, including:

•the demand for and supply of oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•weather conditions in the continental United States (which can influence the demand and prices for natural gas);

•the amount and timing of oil, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas imports and exports;

•the ability of distribution systems in the United States to effectively meet the demand for oil, NGLs, and natural gas, particularly in times of peak demand which may result because of adverse weather conditions;

•the ability or willingness of OPEC+ to set and support production levels for oil;

•oil and gas production levels by non-OPEC+ countries;

•political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical activity, such as the current conflict occurring between Russia and Ukraine;

•governmental policies and subsidies;

•the costs of exploring for, producing, and delivering oil and natural gas;

•technological advances affecting energy consumption;

•United States storage levels of oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•price, availability, and acceptance of alternative fuels;

•volatility in ethane prices causing rejection of ethane as part of the liquids processed stream;

•pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks, or other public health events, such as COVID-19; and

•worldwide economic conditions.

Oil prices are sensitive to domestic and foreign influences based on political, social, or economic underpinnings, any of which could have an immediate and significant effect on the price and supply of oil. Prices of oil, NGLs, and natural gas can also be influenced by trading on the commodities markets which has increased the volatility associated with these prices, causing large differences in prices on even a weekly and monthly basis.

Based on our production for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022, a $0.10 per Mcf change in what we receive for our natural gas production, without the effect of derivatives, would cause a corresponding $~~250~~0.2 million per month ($32.04 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow. A $1.00 per barrel change in our oil price, without the effect of derivatives, would result in a $~~130~~0.1 million per month ($1.63 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow and a $1.00 per barrel change in our NGLs price, without the effect of derivatives, would result in a $~~220~~0.2 million per month ($2.62 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow.

These factors and the volatile nature of the energy markets make it impossible to predict with any certainty the future prices of oil, NGLs, and natural gas.

Table of Contents

Our derivative arrangements might limit the benefit of increases in oil, NGLs, and/or natural gas prices.

To reduce our exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil, NGLs, and natural gas, we may use derivative contracts like swaps and collars. To date, we have derivatives covering part, but not all of our production, which provides price protection only against declines in market prices on the production covered by those derivatives, but not otherwise. Should market prices for the production we have derivatives on exceed the prices due under our derivative contracts, our derivative contracts expose us to the risk of financial loss and limit the benefit to us of those increases in market prices. Volumes not covered by derivative contracts are subject to market prices. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report in Item 7 has a more thorough discussion of our derivative arrangements.

If one or more of our counterparties are unable or unwilling to pay us under our commodity derivative contracts, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

If oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices decrease or are unusually volatile, we may have to take write-downs of our oil and natural gas properties, the carrying value of our drilling rigs, or our natural gas gathering and processing systems.

Each quarter we review the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties under the SEC’s full cost accounting rules. Under these rules, capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties may not exceed the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per year. Application of the ceiling test generally requires pricing future revenue at the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of the month for each month within the 12 months before the end of the reporting period (unless contractual arrangements define the prices) and requires a write-down for accounting purposes if the ceiling is exceeded. We may have to write-down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties when oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices are depressed. A write-down, if required, would cause a charge to earnings but would not impact cash flow from operating activities. Once incurred, a write-down is not reversible. Because our ceiling tests use a rolling 12-month look back average price, it is possible that a write-down during a reporting period will not remove the need for us to take future write-downs. This could occur when months with higher commodity prices roll off the 12 months and are replaced with more recent months having lower commodity prices.

Our drilling equipment, transportation equipment, gas gathering and processing systems, and other property and equipment are carried at cost. We must periodically test to see if these values have been impaired whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If these assets are determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. An estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, including prices for similar assets. Changes in these estimates could cause us to reduce the carrying value of the property, equipment, and related intangible assets. Once these values are reduced, they are not reversible.

RISKS RELATED TO OIL, NGL, AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES

Many uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves and their values, including factors beyond our control. Actual production, revenues, and expenditures regarding our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves will likely vary from estimates, and those variances may be material.

Many uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves and their values, including factors beyond our control. The oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserve information in this report is only an estimate of these reserves. Oil, NGLs, and natural gas reservoir engineering is a subjective and inexact process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, NGLs, and natural gas that cannot be measured precisely. Estimates of economically recoverable oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves depend on several variable factors, including historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, and assumptions about: reservoir size; the effects of regulations by governmental agencies; future oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices; future operating costs; severance and excise taxes; operational risks; development costs; and workover and remedial costs.

Some or all these assumptions may vary considerably from actual results. For these and other reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil, NGLs, and natural gas attributable to any group of properties, classifications of those oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves based on the risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows from oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers but at different times may vary substantially. Oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserve estimates may be subject to periodic downward or upward adjustments. Actual production, revenues, and expenditures regarding our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves will likely vary from estimates, and those variances may be material.

Table of Contents

The information about discounted future net cash flows in this report is not necessarily the current market value of the estimated oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves attributable to our properties. Using full cost accounting requires us to use the unweighted arithmetic average of the commodity prices existing on the first day of each of the 12 months before the end of the reporting period to calculate discounted future revenues unless prices were otherwise determined under contractual arrangements. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. Actual future net cash flows are also affected by these factors:

•the amount and timing of oil, NGLs, and natural gas production;

•supply and demand for oil, NGLs, and natural gas;

•increases or decreases in consumption; and

•changes in governmental regulations or taxation.

What’s more, the 10% discount factor, required by the SEC for calculating discounted future net cash flows for reporting purposes, is not necessarily the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and the risks associated with our operations or the oil and natural gas industry.

Estimated quantities of oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves and their values used to prepare our consolidated financial statements and supplemental oil and gas disclosures may differ from estimates used in other strategic or economic purposes.

As described above, the information about discounted future net cash flows in this report is not necessarily the current market value of the estimated oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves attributable to our properties so estimates used by management for strategic or economic purposes may differ.

RISKS RELATED TO FINANCING OUR BUSINESS

Our inability to satisfy our debt obligations and covenants could result in our failure to meet our capital needs and adversely affect our operations.

We may incur substantial capital expenditures in our operations. Historically, we have funded our capital needs through a combination of internally generated cash flow and borrowings under our ~~bank~~ credit ~~agreements~~agreement. We ~~have, and~~ may ~~continue to~~ have, some indebtedness. As of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under ~~the~~our ~~Exit~~ credit agreement ~~and $19~~.2 ~~million of borrowings outstanding under the Superior credit agreement (as defined below).~~

Depending on our debt, the cash flow needed to satisfy that debt and the covenants in our bank credit agreements could:

•limit funds otherwise available for financing our capital expenditures, our drilling program, or other activities or cause us to curtail these activities;

•limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business;

•place us at a competitive disadvantage to those of our competitors less indebted than we are;

•make us more vulnerable during periods of low oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices or if a downturn in our business occurs; and

•prevent us from obtaining more financing on acceptable terms or limit amounts available under our existing or future credit facilities.

Our ability to meet our debt obligations depends on our future performance. If such obligations are not satisfied, a default could be deemed to occur, and our lenders could accelerate the payment of the outstanding indebtedness. If that were to happen, we would not have sufficient funds available (and probably could not obtain the financing required) to meet our obligations. See “Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict” below.

Table of Contents

Our existing debt and our future debt are based mainly on the costs of the projects we undertake and our cash flow. Generally, our expected operating costs are those resulting from the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, acquiring producing properties, the costs associated with the maintenance, upgrade, or expansion of our drilling rig fleet, and the operations of our natural gas buying, selling, gathering, processing, and treating systems. To some extent, these costs, mainly the first two, are discretionary, and we maintain some control on the timing or the need to incur them. Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances may arise, like an unexpected chance to make a large acquisition or the need to replace a costly drilling rig component due to an unexpected loss, which could force us to incur more debt above what we had expected or forecasted. Likewise, if our cash flow should prove insufficient to cover our cash requirements, we would need to increase our debt either through bank borrowings or otherwise.

Restrictive covenants in our credit facilities may limit our financial and operating flexibility and our ability to pursue our business strategies.

As of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our ~~Exit~~ credit agreement ~~and $19~~.2 ~~million outstanding under our Superior credit agreement.~~ Our financing agreements permit us to incur more indebtedness and other obligations. We may also seek amendments or waivers from our existing lenders if we need to incur indebtedness above amounts permitted by our financing agreements.

Our credit facilities contain certain restrictions, which may have adverse effects on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations, limiting our ability, among other things, to:

•incur additional indebtedness;

•incur additional liens;

•pay dividends or make other distributions;

•make investments, loans, or advances;

•sell or discount receivables;

•enter into mergers;

•sell properties;

•enter into or terminate swap agreements;

•enter into transactions with affiliates;

•maintain gas imbalances;

•enter into take-or-pay contracts or make other prepayments;

•enter into sale and leaseback agreements;

•amend our organizational documents; and

•make capital expenditures.

The credit facilities also require us to comply with certain financial maintenance covenants as discussed elsewhere in this report.

A breach of any of these restrictive covenants could cause a default. If a default occurs, the lenders under our credit facilities may elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due. The lenders would also have the right in that case to terminate any commitments they have to provide more borrowings. If we cannot repay our indebtedness when due or declared due, the lenders may also proceed against the collateral pledged to secure the indebtedness. If the indebtedness was accelerated, our assets might not fully repay our secured indebtedness.

Under the Exit credit agreement, the borrowing base is determined semi-annually at the lenders’ discretion and is based largely on the prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas.

Significant declines in oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices may cause a decrease in our borrowing base. The lenders can unilaterally adjust the borrowing base, and therefore the borrowings permitted to be outstanding under the Exit credit agreement. If outstanding borrowings are over the borrowing base, we must (a) repay the amount over the borrowing base, (b) dedicate additional properties to the borrowing base, or (c) begin monthly principal payments.

Table of Contents

The amount Superior can borrow under its credit agreement may be affected by its cash flow.

Superior must maintain a funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Superior credit agreement) of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00. If Superior’s EBITDA falls below $50.0 million, its maximum funded debt would be limited to 4.00 times consolidated EBITDA.

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing or refinance existing indebtedness on reasonable terms and may have other adverse effects.

Commercial-credit and equity market disruptions may cause tight capital markets in the United States. Liquidity in the global capital markets can be severely contracted by market disruptions making financing less attractive. In some cases, it leads to the unavailability of certain types of financing. Because of credit and equity market turmoil, we may not obtain debt or equity financing or refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, which could affect operations and financial performance.

RISKS RELATED TO OPERATING OUR BUSINESS

Increasing attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters may adversely impact our business.

Organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to evaluate their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward us and to the diversion of their investment away from the fossil fuel industry to other industries which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and costs of capital.

Public health events outside our control, including pandemics, epidemics, and infectious disease outbreaks, like the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, have materially hurt and may further materially hurt our business.

We face risks related to epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health events outside our control and could disrupt our operations and hurt their financial condition. The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has spread across the globe and affected financial markets and worldwide economic activity. It may continue to negatively impact our operations or our workforce’s health by rendering employees or contractors unable to work or unable to access our facilities for an indefinite period. The effects of COVID-19 and concerns about its global spread have, during certain periods, weakened the domestic and international demand for crude oil and natural gas, hurting crude oil prices and causing significant price volatility. As the duration and full impact from COVID-19 is difficult to predict, how much it may hurt our operating results, or the duration of any potential business disruption is unknown. Any potential impact will depend on future developments, and new information that may emerge about the severity and duration of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities to contain it or treat its impact are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while unknown, could hurt our operating results.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have resources more significant than we do.

The drilling industry in which we operate is generally very competitive. Most drilling contracts are awarded based on competitive bids, which may cause intense price competition. Some of our competitors in the contract drilling industry have greater financial and human resources than we do. These resources may enable them to withstand periods of low drilling rig use better, compete more effectively based on price and technology, build new drilling rigs, or acquire existing drilling rigs, and provide drilling rigs more quickly than we do in periods of high drilling rig use.

The oil and natural gas industry is also highly competitive. We compete in property acquisitions and oil and natural gas exploration, development, production, and marketing with major oil companies, other independent oil and natural gas concerns, and individual producers and operators. Many of our competitors in the oil and natural gas industry have resources substantially greater than we do.

The mid-stream industry is also highly competitive. Our mid-stream investment competes in gathering, processing, transporting, and treating natural gas with other mid-stream companies. Superior is continually competing with larger mid-stream companies for acquisitions and construction projects. Many of Superior's competitors have greater financial resources, human resources, and geographic presence than it does.

Table of Contents

The mid-stream industry is also highly competitive. We compete in gathering, processing, transporting, and treating natural gas with other mid-stream companies. We are continually competing with larger mid-stream companies for acquisitions and construction projects. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources, human resources, and geographic presence larger than we do.

Competition for experienced technical personnel may hurt our operations or financial results.

Our three segments’ success and the success of our other activities integral to our operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced geologists, engineers, drilling rig hands, and other employees. Competition for these employees can be intense, particularly when the industry is experiencing favorable conditions.

Our operations are subject to inherent risks that, if material, could harm our results of operations.

Our contract drilling operations are subject to many hazards, including blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, loss of well control, loss of hole, damaged or lost drilling equipment, and damage or loss from inclement weather. Our exploration and production and mid-stream operations are subject to these and similar risks. These events could cause personal injury or death, damage to or destruction of equipment and facilities, suspension of operations, environmental damage, and damage to others’ property. Generally, drilling contracts provide for the division of responsibilities between a drilling company and its customer. We seek to obtain contractual indemnification from our drilling customers for some of these risks. If we cannot transfer these risks to drilling customers by contract or indemnification agreements (or if we assume obligations of indemnity or assume liability for certain risks under our drilling contracts), we seek protection from some of these risks through insurance. Still, some risks are not covered by insurance. We cannot assure you that the insurance we have or the indemnification agreements we have will adequately protect us against liability from the consequences of the hazards described above. An event not fully insured or indemnified against, or a customer’s failure to meet its indemnification obligations, could cause substantial losses. We cannot assure you that insurance will be available to cover any or all of these risks. Even if available, the insurance might not be adequate to cover all of our losses, or we might decide against obtaining that insurance because of high premiums or other costs.

Our exploration and development operations involve many risks that may cause dry holes, the failure to produce oil, NGLs, and natural gas in commercial quantities, and the inability to fully produce discovered reserves. The cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is substantial and uncertain. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may cause the curtailment, delay, or cancellation of drilling operations.

Exploratory drilling is a speculative activity. Although we may disclose our overall drilling success rate, those rates may decline. Although we may discuss drilling prospects we have identified or budgeted for, we may ultimately not lease or drill these prospects within the expected period, or at all. Lack of drilling success will hurt our future results of operations and financial condition. We do not operate many wells in which we own an interest. Our operational risks for those wells and our ability to influence those wells’ operations are less subject to our control and the operators of those wells may act in ways not in our best interests.

Our oil and natural gas segment’s prospective drilling locations are in various evaluation stages, ranging from a prospect ready to drill to a prospect that will require additional geological and engineering analysis. Based on many factors, including future oil, NGLs, natural gas prices, the generation of additional seismic or geological information, and other factors, we may decide not to drill one or more of these prospects. We may not increase or maintain our reserves or production, which could hurt our business, financial position, and operating results. The SEC’s reserve reporting rules require that, subject to limited exceptions, proved undeveloped reserves may be booked only if they relate to wells scheduled to be drilled within five years of booking. At December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had no proved undeveloped drilling locations.

Our mid-stream investment's operations involve many risks, both financial and operational. The cost of developing gathering systems and processing plants is substantial, and ~~our~~Superior's ability to recoup these costs is uncertain. ~~Our~~Superior's operations may be curtailed, delayed, or canceled because of many things beyond ~~our~~its control, including:

•unexpected changes in the deliverability of natural gas reserves from the wells connected to the gathering systems;

Table of Contents

•availability of competing pipelines in the area;

•the capacity of pipeline systems;

•equipment failures or accidents;

•adverse weather conditions;

•compliance with governmental requirements;

•delays in developing other producing properties within the gathering system’s area of operation; and

•demand for natural gas and its constituents.

Table of Contents

New technologies may cause our exploration and drilling methods to become obsolete, causing an adverse effect on our production.

Our industry is subject to rapid and significant technological advancements, including the introduction of new products and services using new technologies. As competitors use or develop new technologies, we may be at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force us to implement new technologies at a substantial cost. In addition, our competitors may have greater financial, technical, and personnel resources that allow them to enjoy technological advantages and may allow them to implement new technologies before we can. We cannot be sure that we can implement technologies timely or at an acceptable cost. One or more technologies we use or that we may implement may become obsolete or may not work as we expected, and we may be hurt financially and operationally as a result.

Our operating results depend on our ability to transport oil, NGLs, and gas production to key markets.

The marketability of our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production depends in part on the availability, proximity, and capacity of pipeline systems, refineries, and other transportation sources. The unavailability of or lack of capacity on these systems and facilities could cause the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties. Federal and state regulation of oil, NGLs, and natural gas production and transportation, tax, and energy policies, changes in supply and demand, pipeline pressures, damage to or destruction of pipelines, and general economic conditions could hurt our ability to produce, gather, and, transport oil, NGLs, and natural gas.

Losing one or several of our larger customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

During the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022, one customer accounted for 1110% of our oil and natural gas revenue, five customers accounted for 7971% of our contract drilling revenues, and three customers accounted for 5865% of our ~~Mid~~mid-~~Stream~~stream revenues. No other third-party customer accounted for 10% or more of any of our segment revenues. Any customer may choose not to use our services or purchase oil, natural gas, or ~~NGLS~~NGLs from us, and losing one or several of our larger customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations if we could not find replacements.

Superior depends on certain natural gas producers and pipeline operators for a significant portion of its supply of natural gas and NGLs. Losing any of these producers could cause a decline in ~~our~~its volumes and revenues.

WeSuperior ~~rely~~relies on certain natural gas producers for a significant portion of our natural gas and NGLs supply. While some of these producers are subject to long-term contracts, weSuperior may not negotiate extensions or replacements of these contracts on favorable terms, if at all. Losing all or even a portion of the natural gas volumes supplied by these producers, because of competition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our mid-stream segment unless weSuperior acquired comparable volumes from other sources.

We rely on management and other key employees.

We depend significantly on the efforts of our executive officers and other key employees to manage our operations. The loss or unavailability of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

We are subject to various claims and litigation that could ultimately be resolved against us, requiring material future cash payments or future material charges against our operating income, and materially impairing our financial position.

The nature of our business makes us highly susceptible to claims and litigation. We are subject to various existing legal claims and lawsuits, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Even if indemnified or insured, any claims or litigation could hurt our reputation among our customers and the public and make it harder for us to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future.

Demand for our contract drilling and mid-stream services depends on the levels of spending by the oil and gas industry. A substantial or an extended decline in oil and gas prices could cause lower spending by the oil and gas industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. 23

Climate change legislation or other regulatory initiatives restricting emissions of GHGs could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil, natural gas and NGL we produce.

Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. As a result, numerous proposals have been made and may continue to be made at the international, national, regional and state levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of GHGs. These efforts have included consideration of cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, GHG reporting and tracking programs, mandates for the production of renewable fuels, and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources. At the federal level, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented to date. The EPA has, however, adopted regulations that, among other things, establish construction and operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources, and together with the U.S. Department of Transportation, implement GHG emissions limits on vehicles manufactured for operation in the United States. The federal regulation of methane emissions from oil and gas facilities has been subject to controversy in recent years. For more information, see our regulatory disclosure titled “Air Emissions.”

Although we have no direct transactional or supply chain exposure to the areas of conflict, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and related geopolitical and economic responses, could significantly impact the global financial markets and supply chains, or cause other disruptions which could negatively impact our business plan and operations.

RISKS TO OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH PLANS

Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict.

Any growth plans may require significant cash. Our principal sources of liquidity include the available borrowing capacity under the Exit credit agreement and cash flow generated from operations. If our cash flow from operations decreases, we may be unable to expend the capital to maintain our operations, hurting our future revenues. Our liquidity, including our ability to meet our ongoing operational obligations, depends on, among other things: (i) our ability to comply with the terms of the Exit credit agreement, (ii) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand, and (iii) our ability to generate cash flow from operations.

Growth through acquisitions is not assured.

We have historically grown through mergers and acquisitions. The contract land drilling industry, the exploration and development industry, and the gas gathering and processing industry have experienced significant consolidation over the past several years. There is no assurance that acquisition opportunities will be available or viable. Even if available, there is no assurance we would have the financial ability to pursue the opportunity. We expect the competition for acquisition opportunities to persist or intensify.

We may incur substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions and may issue debt instruments, equity securities, or convertible securities in connection with any acquisitions. Debt service requirements could represent a significant burden on our operations and financial condition and issuing more equity would be dilutive to existing shareholders. In addition, continued growth could strain our management, operations, employees, and other resources.

Successful acquisitions, particularly those of oil and natural gas companies or oil and natural gas properties, require assessing several factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include recoverable reserves, exploration potential, future oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices, operating costs, and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact, and their accuracy is inherently uncertain.

Our future performance may depend on our ability to find or acquire more oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable.

Production from oil and natural gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with a well's decline rate depending on reservoir characteristics. Unless we replace the reserves, we produce, our reserves will decline, resulting in a decrease in oil, NGLs, and natural gas production and lower revenues and cash flow. Historically, we have increased reserves after considering our production through exploration and development. We have conducted these activities on our existing oil and natural gas properties and newly acquired properties. We may not be able to continue to replace reserves from these activities at acceptable costs. Lower prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas may further limit the reserves that can economically be developed. Lower prices also decrease our cash flow and may cause us to decrease capital expenditures.

If we are to construct new proprietary BOSS drilling rigs, the process would be subject to risks, including delays and cost overruns, and rigs that may not meet our expectations.

We have designed and built several proprietary 1,500 horsepower AC electric drilling rigs called BOSS drilling rigs. This new design should position us to meet the demands of our customers better. Constructing any future new BOSS drilling rigs is subject to the risks of delays or cost overruns in any large construction project because of many possible factors.

Table of Contents

BOSS drilling rig designs may be subject to intellectual property rights claims.

While we hold certain patents on our BOSS drilling rig design, it is still possible that third parties may claim that our BOSS drilling rig design infringes on their intellectual property rights. In that event, we may resolve these claims by signing royalty and licensing agreements, redesigning the drilling rig, or paying damages. These outcomes may cause operating margins to decline. In addition to money damages, plaintiffs may seek injunctive relief in some jurisdictions that may limit or prevent marketing and use of our drilling rigs if they are determined to be an infringement upon a third party's intellectual property rights.

RISKS RELATED TO REGULATIONS

New laws, policies, regulations, rulemaking, and oversight, as well as changes to those currently in effect, could adversely impact our earnings, cash flows, and operations.

Our business is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations on taxation, the exploration for and development, production, and marketing of oil and natural gas, and safety matters. Many laws and regulations require drilling permits and govern the spacing of wells, production rates, prevention of waste, unitization and pooling of properties, and other matters. These laws and regulations have increased the costs of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating, and abandoning our oil and natural gas wells and other facilities. These laws and regulations, and any others passed by the jurisdictions where we have production, could limit the number of wells drilled or the allowable production from successful wells, limiting our revenues.

We are (or could become) subject to complex environmental laws and regulations adopted by the jurisdictions where we own properties or operate. We could incur liability to governments or third parties for discharges of oil, natural gas, or other pollutants into the air, soil, or water, including responsibility for remedial costs. We could discharge these materials into the environment in many ways, including:

•from a well or drilling equipment at a drill site;

•from gathering systems, pipelines, transportation facilities, and storage tanks;

•damage to oil and natural gas wells resulting from accidents during normal operations;

•sabotage; and

•blowouts, cratering, and explosions.

Because the requirements imposed by laws and regulations often change, we cannot assure you that future laws and regulations, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. The United States Congress and White House administration may impose more stringent environmental requirements on our operations or change existing laws and regulations in a manner that could adversely impact our business. Stricter standards, greater regulation, and more extensive permit requirements could increase our future risks and costs related to environmental matters. Because we acquire interests in properties operated in the past by others, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by the former operators, which liability could be material.

The IRA also includes a charge on methane emissions, which is the first ever federal fee on emissions through a methane emissions charge. Facilities required to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the EPA, which includes our facilities, will be assessed a fee of $900 per metric ton of methane in 2024, increasing to $1,500 per metric ton for 2026 and each year thereafter. These new fees and the related compliance and monitoring costs could increase the costs of our operations.

Superior could be subject to increased compliance costs related to the regulation of its pipelines.

Superior's pipelines are also subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation (DOT) under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, as amended, Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979, as amended, the Pipeline Safety Act of 1992, as reauthorized and amended, and the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 (2011 Pipeline Safety Act). The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) implements these statutes. Recently, PHMSA has taken several steps to expand its jurisdiction over crude oil and natural gas pipelines, including gathering lines.

PHMSA issued three separate final rulemakings in 2019 that significantly expand the regulation of natural gas gathering lines, subjecting previously unregulated pipelines to requirements regarding damage prevention, corrosion control, public education programs, and maximum allowable operating pressure limits, among others. PHMSA has also finalized rules for hazardous liquids pipelines that expand existing pipeline integrity management requirements. In addition, the final rule extends annual and accident reporting requirements to gravity lines and all gathering lines and also imposes inspection requirements on pipelines in areas affected by extreme weather events, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or other similar events that are likely to interfere with our production, increase our cost and damage infrastructure.

On August 3, 2020, the United States Senate reauthorized the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety (PIPES) Act to reauthorize pipeline safety programs through fiscal year 2023. The PIPES Act contains provisions for methane leak detection, monitoring, and repair, the maintenance of emergency response plans, and other pipeline safety regulations. Therefore, additional future regulatory action expanding PHMSA’s jurisdiction and imposing stricter integrity management requirements is possible. The adoption of laws or regulations that apply more comprehensive or stringent safety standards could require usSuperior to install new or modified safety controls, pursue new capital projects, or conduct maintenance programs on an accelerated basis, all of which could require usSuperior to incur increased operating costs that could be significant. In addition, should weSuperior fail to comply with PHMSA or comparable state regulations, weSuperior could be subject to substantial fines and penalties. Effective January 11, 2021, the maximum civil penalties PHMSA can impose are $222,504 per violation per day, with a maximum of $2,225,034 for a related series of violations.

Proposed federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could cause increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.

Hydraulic fracturing is an essential and common practice in the oil and gas industry used to stimulate the production of oil, natural gas, and associated liquids from dense subsurface rock formations. Our oil and natural gas segment routinely applies hydraulic-fracturing techniques to many of our oil and natural gas properties, including our ~~unconventional resource~~ plays in ~~the Granite Wash of~~ Texas and Oklahoma~~, the Marmaton and Hoxbar of Oklahoma, the Wilcox of Texas~~. Hydraulic-fracturing involves using water, sand, and certain chemicals to fracture the hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation to allow hydrocarbons’ flow into the wellbore. State oil and natural gas commissions process typically regulate this process, but the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving diesel under the Safe Drinking Water Act and published permitting guidance addressing the performance of such activities. The EPA has also finalized rules under the Clean Water Act in June 2016 that prohibit the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. Separately, in December 2016, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. The final report concluded that certain activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources under certain limited circumstances.

Some states where we operate, including Texas, ~~Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado,~~ and ~~Wyoming~~Oklahoma, have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, regulations that could impose more stringent permitting, public disclosure of fracking fluids, waste disposal, and well construction requirements on hydraulic-fracturing operations or otherwise seek to ban fracturing activities altogether. Local governments may also seek to restrict or prohibit well-drilling, hydraulic fracturing, or both. If state, local, or municipal legal restrictions are adopted in areas where we are conducting or plan to conduct operations, we may incur added costs to comply with such requirements that may be significant, experience delays or curtailment pursuing exploration, development, or production activities, and perhaps even be precluded from the drilling and completion of wells.

In addition, our ability to produce crude oil, natural gas, and associated liquids economically and in commercial quantities could be impaired if we cannot get adequate supplies of water for our drilling and completion operations or cannot dispose of or recycle the water we use at a reasonable cost and under applicable environmental rules. Any new laws, regulation, or permitting requirements regarding hydraulic fracturing could lead to operational delays, or increased operating costs or third party or governmental claims, and could result in additional burdens that could delay or limit the drilling services we provide to third parties whose drilling operations could be affected by these regulations or increase our costs of compliance and doing business and delay the development of unconventional gas resources from shale formations which are not commercial without using hydraulic fracturing. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the oil and natural gas we can ultimately produce from our reserves.

To our knowledge, there have been no citations, suits, or contamination of potable drinking water arising from our fracturing operations. We do not have insurance policies in effect intended to supply coverage for losses solely related to hydraulic fracturing operations, but our general liability and excess liability insurance policies might cover third-party claims related to hydraulic fracturing operations and associated legal expenses depending on the specific nature of the claims, the timing of the claims, and the specific terms of such policies.

Uncertainty about increased seismic activity in Oklahoma could have adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We conduct oil and natural gas exploration, development, and drilling activities in Oklahoma and nearby. In recent years, Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas have experienced an upturn in earthquakes and other seismic activity. Some parties believe there is a correlation between certain oil and gas activities and earthquakes’ increased occurrence. The extent of this correlation is the subject of studies by both state and federal agencies, the results of which remain unclear. We cannot say what impact this seismic activity may have on us or our industry.

The hydraulic fracturing process on which we depend to produce commercial quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and associated NGLs from many reservoirs requires the use and disposal of significant water quantities.

Our inability to secure enough water or dispose of or recycle the water used in our oil and natural gas segment operations could hurt our operations. Imposing new environmental initiatives and regulations could include restrictions on our ability to conduct certain operations such as hydraulic fracturing or disposal of wastes, including, but not limited to, produced water, drilling fluids, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of oil and natural gas.

Compliance with environmental regulations and permit requirements governing the withdrawal, storage and, use of surface water or groundwater necessary for hydraulic fracturing of wells may increase our operating costs and cause delays, interruptions, or termination of our operations, the extent of which cannot be predicted, all of which could hurt our operations and financial condition.

The potential listing of species as “endangered” under the federal Endangered Species Act could cause increased costs and new operating restrictions or delays on our operations and of our customers, which could hurt our operations and financial results.

The ESA and similar state laws regulate various activities, including oil and gas development, which could harm species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA or their habitats. Designating previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause oil and natural gas exploration and production operators and service companies to incur added costs or become subject to operating delays, restrictions, or bans in affected areas, which impacts could reduce drilling activities in affected areas. All three of our business segments could be subject to the effect of one or more species being listed as threatened or endangered within the areas of our operations. Many species have been listed or are under consideration for protected status in areas we operate or could undertake operations, such as the dunes sagebrush lizard, lesser prairie chicken, and greater sage grouse.

Terrorist attacks or cyber-attacks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Terrorist attacks or cyber-attacks may affect the energy industry and economic conditions, including our operations and our customers, general economic conditions, consumer confidence and spending, and market liquidity. Strategic targets, such as energy-related assets, may be at greater risk of future attacks than other United States targets. A cyber incident could cause information theft, data corruption, operational disruption, and financial loss. Our insurance may not protect us against such occurrences. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are increasingly dependent on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure, and cloud applications and services, to operate our businesses, process and record financial and operating data, communicate with our employees and business partners, analyze seismic and drilling information, estimate quantities of natural gas reserves, and perform other activities related to our businesses. Our business partners, including vendors, service providers, and financial institutions, also depend on digital technology.

As dependence on digital technologies has increased, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks or unintentional events, have also increased. A cyber-attack could include gaining unauthorized access to digital systems to misappropriate assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption, or result in denial-of-service on websites.

Table of Contents

Our technologies, systems, networks, and those of our business partners may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could cause the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss, or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of our business operations. Some cyber incidents, like surveillance, may remain undetected for a long time.

Deliberate attacks on our assets, or security breaches in our systems or infrastructure, the systems or infrastructure of third-parties or the cloud could lead to corruption or loss of our proprietary data and potentially sensitive data, delays in production or delivery, difficulty completing and settling transactions, challenges in maintaining our books and records, environmental damage, communication interruptions, other operational disruptions, and third-party liability, including:

•a cyber-attack on a vendor or service provider could cause supply chain disruptions, which could delay or halt the development of more infrastructure, effectively delaying the start of cash flows from the project;

•a cyber-attack on our facilities may cause equipment damage or failure;

•a cyber-attack on mid-stream or downstream pipelines could prevent our products from being delivered, leading to losing revenues;

•a cyber-attack on a communications network or power grid could cause operational disruption resulting in loss of revenues;

•deliberate corruption of our financial or operational data could cause events of non-compliance leading to regulatory fines or penalties; and

•business interruptions could cause expensive remediation efforts, the distraction of management, or damage to our reputation.

Implementation of various controls and processes to monitor and mitigate security threats and increase security for our information, facilities and infrastructure are costly and labor-intensive. There can be no assurance that such measures will prevent security breaches from occurring. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may have to spend significant additional resources to modify or enhance our protective measures or investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

Ineffective internal controls could affect the accuracy and timely reporting of our business and financial results.

Our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance about the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we do not maintain our internal controls’ adequacy, including any failure to implement needed new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and financial results could be harmed, and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

POST REORGANIZATION RISKS

Because our consolidated financial statements reflect fresh start accounting adjustments made on emergence from bankruptcy, financial information in our financial statements are not comparable to our financial information from prior periods.

With our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date, we determined that the company qualified for fresh start accounting under ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations, under which our reorganization value, which represents the fair value of the entity before considering liabilities, is distributed to the fair value of assets in conformity with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. We state our liabilities, other than deferred taxes, at a present value of amounts expected to be paid. Thus, our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations are not comparable in many respects to consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations data for periods before we adopted fresh start accounting. You cannot compare information reflecting our post-emergence financial statements to information for periods before we emerged from bankruptcy without adjusting for fresh start accounting.

Even though the Plan has been consummated, we may not achieve our stated goals.

Even though the Plan has been substantially consummated, we may continue to face several risks, such as further deterioration or other changes in economic conditions, changes in our industry, changes in demand for our services, and increasing expenses. We cannot guarantee that the Plan and subsequent performance will achieve our stated goals.

Table of Contents

Even though our debts were reduced through the Plan, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, or other various means to fund our business after completing the Chapter 11 Cases. Our access to additional financing may be limited, if available at all. Thus, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

Holders of the New Common Stock and Warrants could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and/or U.S. federal income tax and corresponding tax reporting obligations on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the New Common Stock and Warrants, which could adversely affect the trading and liquidity of the New Common Stock and Warrants.

The ~~company~~Company believes that it is, and will remain for the foreseeable future, a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA), non-U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of shares of New Common Stock and Warrants, in which case they would also have to file U.S. federal income tax returns about that gain and may be subject to a U.S. federal withholding tax on a disposition of shares of New Common Stock and Warrants. Whether these FIRPTA provisions apply depends on the amount of New Common Stock or Warrants that the non-U.S. holders hold and whether, when they dispose of their New Common Stock or Warrants, the New Common Stock is treated as regularly traded on an established securities market under the Treasury Regulations (regularly traded).

If the New Common Stock is regularly traded during a calendar quarter, (A) no withholding requirements would be imposed under FIRPTA on transfers of New Common Stock or Warrants and (B) only a non-U.S. holder who has held, actually or constructively, (i) over 5% of New Common Stock or (ii) Warrants with a fair market value greater than 5% of the New Common Stock into which it is convertible, in each case at any time during the shorter of (x) the five years ending on the date of disposition, and (y) the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for its shares of New Common Stock or Warrants, would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the sale, exchange, or disposition of such shares of New Common Stock or Warrants during such calendar quarter under FIRPTA.

If during any calendar quarter the New Common Stock is not regularly traded, any purchaser of New Common Stock or Warrants generally will have to withhold (and remit to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)) 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the New Common Stock or Warrants unless provided with a certificate of non-foreign status or an IRS withholding certificate from the seller. Because the New Common Stock and Warrants were issued in book-entry form through DTC, sellers may not provide the necessary documentation to the purchasers to establish an exemption from withholding. Additionally, the purchasers may not withhold from the purchase price and remit the withheld amount to the IRS if they cannot obtain the sellers’ identifying information. It may be difficult or impossible to complete a transfer in compliance with tax laws in any calendar quarter when the New Common Stock is not regularly traded.

Our New Common Stock is currently quoted on the ~~OTC~~OTCQX® ~~Pink~~Best ~~Marketplace~~Market and may be treated as regularly traded during any calendar quarter in which it is regularly quoted on one of the OTC markets by brokers or dealers making a market in the New Common Stock. But no assurances can be given that brokers or dealers will regularly quote the New Common Stock on such OTC market. If the New Common Stock is not regularly traded, the trading and liquidity of the New Common Stock and Warrants could be hurt because of the withholding and other tax obligations under FIRPTA.

Our New Common Stock may have a limited market and lack liquidity.

While our New Common Stock is being quoted on the ~~OTC~~OTCQX® ~~Pink~~Best ~~marketplace~~Market, the ~~OTC~~OTCQX® ~~Pink~~Best ~~marketplace~~Market is a more limited market than the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market. The quotation of our shares on such a marketplace may cause a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our New Common Stock, depress the trading price of our New Common Stock, and have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital. There can be no assurance there will be an active market for our shares of New Common Stock, either now or in the future, or that stockholders can liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the business’ value.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Please read this discussion of our financial condition and results of operations with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 8 of this report.

Introduction

We operate, manage, and analyze our results of operations through our three principal business segments:

•Oil and Natural Gas – carried out by our subsidiary Unit Petroleum Company. This segment explores, develops, acquires, and produces oil and natural gas properties for our own account.

•Contract Drilling – carried out by our subsidiary Unit Drilling Company. This segment contracts to drill onshore oil and natural gas wells for others and for our own account.

•Mid-Stream – carried out by ~~our subsidiary~~ Superior ~~Pipeline Company, L.L.C.~~ and its subsidiaries. This segment buys, sells, gathers, processes, and treats natural gas for third parties and for our own account. We ~~own~~hold a 50% ofinvestment ~~this~~in ~~subsidiary~~Superior.

InOil ~~our oil~~ and ~~natural~~Natural gas segment, we are optimizing production and converting non-producing reserves to producing, with selective drilling activities in core areas. The company initiated an asset divestiture program at the beginning of 2021 to sell certain non-core oil and gas properties and reserves (the “Divestiture Program”). On October 4, 2021, the company announced that it is expanding the Divestiture Program to now include the potential sale of additional properties, including up to all of UPC’s oil and gas properties and reserves. On January 20, 2022, the company announced that it has retained a financial advisor and launched the process.Gas

Mid-Stream

In our mid-stream segment, Superior is focused on continuing to generate predictable free cash flows with limited exposure to commodity prices in addition to seeking business development opportunities in its core areas utilizing the Superior credit agreement (which Unit is not a party to and does not guarantee) or other financing sources that are available to it. We hold a 50% investment in Superior, and subsequent to the deconsolidation of Superior as of March 1, 2022, we report our ownership interest as an equity method investment. The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations pertaining to our mid-stream segment during the year ended December 31, 2022 relates to the two months of consolidated results prior to deconsolidation as of March 1, 2022.

Recent Developments

Commodity Price Environment ~~and COVID-19 Pandemic~~

~~Our~~The ~~success depends, among other things, on~~ prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production, the demand for oil, natural gas, and NGLs, and the demand for our drilling rigs, which influences the amounts we can charge for those drilling rigs, are all significant drivers of our results. While our operations are all within the United States, events outside the United States affect us and our industry, including political and economic uncertainty and geopolitical activity.

We are continuously monitoring the current and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any new variants, on our business. This includes how it has and may continue to impact our operations, financial results, liquidity, customers, employees, and vendors as new COVID-19 variants may have undetermined impacts to our business. In response to the pandemic, we have implemented various measures to ensure we are conducting our business in a safe and secure manner.

~~During~~Oil, natural gas, and NGL pricing generally improved during 2021 and much of 2022 as demand recovered from the ~~last~~COVID-19 ~~two~~pandemic ~~years~~while ~~commodity~~oil supply was negatively impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as restrained production growth from OPEC+, among other factors. Prices generally declined later in 2022 due to growing economic uncertainty and recession concerns and improved supply, among other factors. Commodity prices have been volatile, in recent years and the outlook for future oil and gas prices remains uncertain and subject to many factors. The following chart reflects the significant fluctuations in the historical prices for oil and natural gas:

Common Stock Dividends

On January 5, 2023, the Company announced the declaration of a special cash dividend of $10.00 per share and has approved a quarterly cash dividend policy beginning in the Company’s second quarter. The special dividend was paid on January 31, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 20, 2023. The initial quarterly dividend will be $2.50 per share to be paid on a date in the Company’s second quarter that is yet to be determined. Subsequent quarterly dividends will be issued on a variable rate per share basis as determined by the Company. The special and quarterly cash dividends will be funded by cash on the Company’s balance sheet.

On February 21, 2023, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with SP Investor under which the Company has agreed to sell all of its 50% ownership interest in Superior for $20.0 million. The Letter Agreement provides that SP Investor will pay Unit $12.0 million at closing and $8.0 million in deferred proceeds to be paid no later than 12 months from closing, subject to Unit's satisfaction of certain ongoing covenant obligations and other customary conditions.

Officer Departure and Appointments

On February 23, 2023, Philip B. Smith notified the Company’s Board of Directors of his decision to step down as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective March 31, 2023. His decision to step down was due to his desire to spend more time working on his nonprofit projects and other endeavors. Mr. Smith will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

In connection with Mr. Smith stepping down as President and CEO, the Board of Directors has approved (i) a pro-rated vesting of his outstanding time-based equity awards scheduled to vest on the next applicable vesting date based on the number of days worked during the then-current vesting period, and (ii) extending the time that Mr. Smith can exercise his options to the expiration date set forth in his award agreement governing the options.

To fill the vacancy created by Mr. Smith’s resignation, on February 28, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Phil Frohlich as interim Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2023, until the Board of Directors names a successor. Mr. Frohlich has been a member of the Board of Directors since September 3, 2020. Additional information about Mr. Frohlich is contained in Part III of this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Summary

InThis ~~this~~ section, weidentifies ~~identify~~the ~~those~~ critical accounting policies we follow in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. ~~Many~~Certain policies require us to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments while making estimates of matters inherently imprecise. Some accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or had different assumptions been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions regularly. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which support making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Significant Estimates and Assumptions

Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil, NGLs, and Natural Gas Properties. Determining our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves is a subjective process. It entails estimating underground accumulations of oil, NGLs, and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Accuracy of these estimates depends on several factors, including, the quality and availability of geological and engineering data, the precision of the interpretations of that data, and individual judgments. ~~Each~~We ~~year, we~~ hire an independent petroleum engineering firm to audit our internal evaluation of our reserves on an annual basis. ~~That~~The audit as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 covered ~~those~~ reserves that we projected to comprise 8586% of the total proved developed future net income discounted at 10% (based on the SEC's unescalated pricing policy). ~~Included~~The ~~in Part I, Item 1 of this report are the~~ qualifications of our independent petroleum engineering firm and our employees responsible for preparing our reserve reports are included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

The accuracy of estimating oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves varies with the reserve classification and the related accumulation of available data, as shown in this table:

Type of Reserves

Nature of Available Data

Degree of Accuracy

Proved undeveloped

Data from offsetting wells, seismic data

Less accurate

Proved developed non-producing

The above and logs, core samples, well tests, pressure data

More accurate

Proved developed producing

The above and production history, pressure data over time

Most accurate

Assumptions of future oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices and operating and capital costs also play a significant role in estimating these reserves and the estimated present value of the cash flows to be received from the future production of those reserves. Volumes of recoverable reserves are influenced by the assumed prices and costs due to the economic limit (that point when the projected costs and expenses of producing recoverable oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves are greater than the projected revenues from the oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves). But more significantly, the estimated present value of the future cash flows from our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves is sensitive to prices and costs and may vary materially based on different assumptions. We use full cost accounting which factors in the unweighted arithmetic average of the commodity prices existing on the first day of each of the twelve months before the end of the reporting period to calculate discounted future revenues, unless prices were otherwise determined under contractual arrangements.

We compute DD&A on a units-of-production method. Each quarter, we use these formulas to compute the provision for DD&A for our producing properties:

•DD&A Rate = Unamortized Cost / End of Period Reserves Adjusted for Current Period Production

Table of Contents

•Provision for DD&A = DD&A Rate x Current Period Production

Unamortized cost includes all capitalized costs, estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves and estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values less accumulated amortization, unproved properties, and equipment not placed in service.

Oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserve estimates have a significant impact on our DD&A rate. If future reserve estimates for a property or group of properties are revised downward, the DD&A rate will increase because of the revision. If reserve estimates are revised upward, the DD&A rate will decrease.

The DD&A expense on our oil and natural gas properties is calculated each quarter using period end reserve quantities adjusted for period production.

We account for our oil and natural gas exploration and development activities using the full cost method of accounting. Under this method, we capitalize all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas properties. At the end of each quarter, the net capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties are limited to that amount which is the lower of unamortized costs or a ceiling. The ceiling is defined as the sum of the present value (using a 10% discount rate) of the estimated future net revenues from our proved reserves (based on the unescalated 12-month average price on our oil, NGLs, and natural gas adjusted for any cash flow hedges), plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less related income taxes. If the net capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties exceed the ceiling, we are required to write-down the excess amount. A ceiling test write-down is a non-cash charge reducing earnings and shareholders’ equity in the period of occurrence, resulting in lower DD&A expense in future periods. A write-down cannot be reversed once incurred.

The risk that we will be required to write-down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties increases when the prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas are depressed or if we have large downward revisions in our estimated proved oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves. Application of these rules during periods of relatively low prices, even if temporary, increases the chance of a ceiling test write-down. At December 31, 2021, our reserves were calculated based on applying 12-month 2021 average unescalated prices of $66.56 per barrel of oil, $44.22 per barrel of NGLs, and $3.60 per Mcf of natural gas (then adjusted for price differentials) over the estimated life of each of our oil and natural gas properties.

Impairment of Other Property and Equipment. We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets for potential impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances suggest these carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Changes that could prompt an assessment include equipment obsolescence, changes in the market demand for a specific asset, changes in commodity prices, periods of relatively low drilling rig utilization, declining revenue per day, declining cash margin per day, or overall changes in general market conditions. Assets are determined to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows directly related to the asset, including disposal value if any, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If any asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying asset exceeds its fair value. The estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, including prices for similar assets. Changes in these estimates could cause us to reduce the carrying value of property and equipment. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly subjective. They involve expectations about future cash flows generated by our assets and reflect our assumptions and judgments regarding future industry conditions and their effect on future utilization levels, dayrates, and costs. Using different estimates and assumptions could result in materially different carrying values of our assets.

Asset Retirement Obligations. We are required to record the estimated fair value of the liabilities relating to the future retirement of our long-lived assets. Our oil and natural gas wells are plugged and abandoned when the oil and natural gas reserves in those wells are depleted or the wells are no longer able to produce. The estimated liabilities related to these future costs are recorded at the time the wells are drilled or acquired. We use historical experience to determine the estimated plugging costs considering the well's type, depth, physical location, and ultimate productive life. A risk-adjusted discount rate and an inflation factor are applied to estimate the present value of these obligations. We depreciate the capitalized asset retirement cost and accrete the obligation over time. Revisions to the obligations and assets are recognized at the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate with a corresponding adjustment made to the full cost pool.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The FASB issued ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 which provide and clarify optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments within these ASUs will be in effect for a limited time beginning March 12, 2020, and an entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. We have not yet elected to use the optional guidance and continue to evaluate the options provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01.

Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The FASB issued ASU 2020-06 which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. The ASU further removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The FASB issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendment is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Summary

Our near-term and long-term financial condition and liquidity primarily depend on the cash flow from our operations and ~~borrowings under our~~ credit ~~agreements~~agreement borrowings. The principal factors determining our cash flow from operations are:

•the ~~amount~~volume of natural gas, oil, and NGLs we produce;

•the prices we receive for our natural gas, oil, and NGLs production;

•the ~~use~~utilization of our drilling rigs and the dayrates we receive for those drilling rigs; and

•the fees and margins we obtain from our natural gas gathering and processing contracts.

We currently expect that cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available funds under our credit facility will be adequate to support our working capital, capital expenditures, dividend distributions, discretionary stock repurchases, and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and we are not aware of any indications that they will not be adequate for the foreseeable periods thereafter.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our operating cash flow is primarily influenced by the prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production, the volume of oil, ~~NGL~~NGLs, and natural gas we produce, settlements of commodity derivative contracts, third-party ~~use~~utilization ~~for~~of our drilling rigs and Superior's mid-stream services, and the rates wecharged ~~can charge~~ for those drilling and mid-stream services. Our cash flows from operating activities are also affected by changes in working capital.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 ~~increased~~decreased by $~~101~~16.25 million as compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~increased~~higher payments on derivative settlements and the absence of operating ~~profit~~cash inflows ~~all~~from ~~three~~Superior ~~segments~~subsequent to the March 1, 2022 deconsolidation, partially offset by ~~changes~~higher in operating ~~assets~~cash ~~and~~flows ~~liabilities~~from ~~related~~our tooil ~~the~~and ~~timing~~natural ofgas ~~cash~~and ~~receipts~~contract ~~and~~drilling ~~disbursements~~segments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We ~~have~~anticipate ~~historically~~using ~~dedicated~~ a ~~substantial~~ portion of our free cash flows for capital ~~budgets~~expenditures related to our ~~exploration~~development ~~for~~ and production of oil, NGLs, and natural gas. ~~These~~as ~~expenditures~~well ~~are~~as ~~necessary to off-set~~ the ~~inherent~~maintenance ~~production~~of ~~declines typically experienced in oil and gas wells. Although we have curtailed~~ our ~~spending~~existing ~~throughout~~drilling ~~2020~~rig ~~and into 2021, we expect the majority of future capital budgets to be focused on low cost capital projects to enhance production and reserves in this favorable price environment~~fleet.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash ~~provided by (~~used in) financing activities decreased by $~~120~~122.53 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~higher~~the absence of net payments on ~~our~~ credit agreements and finance leases, ~~the~~lower ~~repurchase~~repurchases of common stock, and lower ~~borrowings under our credit agreements,~~ distributions made by Superior to non-controlling interests due to Superior's March 1, 2022 deconsolidation. A portion of future cash flows and ~~lower~~cash ~~bank~~and ~~overdrafts~~cash equivalents may be used for future shareholder return activities, including stock repurchases and cash distributions.

As of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $64214.10 million, ~~which includes $17.2 million of cash~~ and ~~cash equivalents held by Superior, and $19.2 million of outstanding borrowings, all of which was borrowed under the Superior credit agreement. Unit had~~ no outstanding borrowings under the Exit credit agreement.

Working Capital

~~Typically,~~Our ~~our~~ working capital balance primarily fluctuates, indue ~~part,~~to ~~because~~the increase or use of our cash and cash equivalents balances, and the timing of our trade accounts receivable and accounts payable and the fluctuation in current assets and liabilities associated with the mark to market value of our ~~derivative~~commodity ~~activity~~derivatives.

Credit Agreements

Exit Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, under the terms of the Plan, the ~~company~~Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the Exit credit agreement), providing for a $140.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (RBL Facility) and a $40.0 million senior secured term loan facility, among (i) the ~~company~~Company, UDC, and UPC (together, the Borrowers), (ii) the guarantors party thereto, including the ~~company~~Company and all of its subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date (other than Superior Pipeline Company, L.L.C. and its subsidiaries), (iii) the lenders party thereto from time to time (Lenders), and (iv) BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent). The maturity date of borrowings under this Exit credit agreement is March 1, 2024.

Our Exit credit agreement is primarily used for working capital purposes as it limits the amount that can be borrowed for capital expenditures. These limitations restrict future capital projects using the Exit credit agreement. The Exit credit agreement also requires that proceeds from the disposition of certain assets be used to repay amounts outstanding.

On April 6, 2021, the ~~company~~Company finalized the first amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the first amendment, the ~~company~~Company reaffirmed its borrowing base of $140.0 million of the RBL, amended certain financial covenants, and received less restrictive terms as it relates to the disposition of assets and the use of proceeds from those dispositions.

On July 27, 2021, the ~~company~~Company finalized the second amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the second amendment, the ~~company~~Company obtained confirmation that the Term Loan had been paid in full prior to the amendment date and received one-time waivers related to the disposition of assets.

On October 19, 2021, the ~~company~~Company finalized the third amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the third amendment, the ~~company~~Company requested, and was granted, a reduction in the RBL borrowing base from $140.0 million to $80.0 million in addition to less restrictive terms as it relates to capital expenditures, required hedges, and the use of proceeds from the disposition of certain assets, while also amending certain financial covenants.

On March 30, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base of $80.0 million was reaffirmed.

~~During~~On ~~the~~July ~~year ended December 31~~1, ~~2021~~2022, the ~~company~~RBL ~~repaid~~Facility ~~$145.1 million~~borrowing ofbase ~~borrowings~~was ~~under~~automatically ~~the~~reduced ~~Exit~~to ~~credit~~$31.3 ~~agreement~~million ~~with cash generated from operations~~ as ~~well~~a asresult ~~from proceeds from divestitures~~ of ~~non-core~~closing ~~assets.~~the AsTexas ofGulf ~~December 31,~~Coast ~~2021,~~properties wesale ~~had~~discussed noin ~~outstanding~~Note ~~long~~5 -~~term~~ ~~borrowings~~Acquisitions ~~under~~And ~~the Exit credit agreement~~Divestitures.

On November 1, 2022, the Company finalized the fourth amendment to the Exit credit agreement. Under the fourth amendment, (i) the RBL Facility borrowing base was increased to $35.0 million, (ii) the lenders party to the agreement were revised to only BOKF, NA dba Bank of Oklahoma, and (iii) the Eurodollar Loan borrowing option was amended to a secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) option. Subsequent to the fourth amendment, Revolving Loans are able to be SOFR Loans or ABR Loans (each as defined in the Exit credit agreement). Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Exit credit agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 525 basis points while Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 425 basis points.

Superior Credit Agreement. On May 10, 2018, Superior signed a five-year, $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the credit amount up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions (Superior credit agreement). On April 29, 2022, Superior entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a four-year, $135.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the credit amount up to $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions (Amended Superior credit agreement).

Superior Credit Agreement. On May 10, 2018, Superior signed a five-year, $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the credit amount up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions (Superior credit agreement). The maturity date of borrowings under the Superior credit agreement is March 10, 2023. As of December 31, 2021, we had $19.2 million of borrowings and $0.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Superior credit agreement.

Capital Requirements

Oil and Natural Gas Segment ~~Dispositions,~~ Acquisitions, ~~and~~ Capital Expenditures, and Dispositions. Most of our capital expenditures for this segment are discretionary and directed toward growth. Our decisions to increase our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves through acquisitions or through drilling depends on the prevailing or expected market conditions, potential return on investment, future drilling potential, and opportunities to obtain financing, which provide us flexibility in deciding when and if to incur these costs. We participated in the completion of 27 gross wells (1.34 net wells) drilled by other operators during the first twelve months of 2022 compared to 12 gross wells (1.75 net wells) during the first twelve months of 2021.

Derivative Activities

Commodity Derivatives. Our commodity derivatives are intended to reduce our exposure to price volatility and manage price risks. Those contracts limit the risk of downward price movements for commodities subject to derivative contracts, but they also limit increases in future revenues that would otherwise result from price movements above the contracted prices. Our decision on the type and quantity of our production and the price(s) of our derivative(s) is based, in part, on our view of current and future market conditions. As of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, based on our fourth quarter ~~2021~~2022 average daily production, the approximated percentages of our production under derivative contracts are as follows:

	2022	2023
	2023	2024 and beyond
Daily oil production	5348%	24—%
Daily natural gas production	5045%	28—%

Using derivative instruments involves the risk that the counterparties cannot meet the financial terms of the transactions. We considered this non-performance risk regarding our counterparties and our own non-performance risk in our derivative valuation at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and determined there was no material risk at that time. The fair value of the net liabilities we had with Bank of Oklahoma, our only commodity derivative counterparty, was $5823.76 million as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022.

Warrants. Prior to the determination of the initial exercise price, we recognized the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability on our consolidated balance sheets with changes in the liability reported as loss on change in fair value of warrants in our consolidated statements of operations. On April 7, 2022, the Company delivered notice of the initial $63.74 exercise price resulting in the warrants meeting the definition of an equity instrument. Accordingly, we recognized the change in the fair value of the warrant liability in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and reclassified the $49.1 million warrant liability to capital in excess of par value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 7, 2022. The warrants will continue to be reported as capital in excess of par value and are no longer subject to future fair value adjustments.

We recognize the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability on our consolidated balance sheets with changes in the liability reported as loss on change in fair value of warrants in our consolidated statements of operations. The liability will continue to be adjusted to fair value at each reporting period until the warrants meet the definition of an equity instrument, at which time they will be reported as shareholders' equity and no longer subject to future fair value adjustments.

If a legal right of set-off exists, we net the value of the derivative arrangements we have with the same counterparty on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our commodity derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets were current derivative liabilities of $4023.96 million ~~and long-term derivative liabilities of $17.9 million~~ as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to current derivative liabilities of $140.0 9 million and non-current derivative liabilities of $417.7 9 million as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

WeDuring the year ended December 31, 2022, we granted ~~315~~7,~~529~~850 restricted stock units (RSU) with an aggregate grant date fair value of $80.42 million and ~~361~~13,~~418~~416 stock options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $40.1 million. ~~Director~~The RSU grants ~~will~~were ~~25%~~made ~~vest~~in onJanuary ~~each of the following dates: May 27,~~ 2022, ~~September 3, 2022, September 3, 2023,~~ and ~~September 3, 2024 while employee RSU grants will one-third~~ vest onequally each ofmonth ~~the~~for ~~following~~thirty ~~dates: November 21, 2022, October 1, 2023, and October 1, 2024~~months.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $06.87 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022. ~~We did not capitalize any compensation cost to oil and natural gas properties due to the absence of significant drilling.~~

We did not grant any new awards during the four months ended December 31, 2020 or the eight months ended August 31, 2020. On the Effective Date, all equity-based awards that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Date were cancelled. The cancellation of the awards resulted in an acceleration of unrecorded stock compensation expense during the eight months ended August 31, 2020. We recognized compensation expense of $6.1 million for all our prior restricted stock awards including the acceleration of the unrecorded stock compensation expense. We did not capitalize any compensation cost to oil and natural gas properties due to the absence of significant drilling. 43

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we granted 315,529 RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $8.4 million and 361,418 stock options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $4.1 million. Director RSU grants will 25% vest on each of the following dates: May 27, 2022, September 3, 2022, September 3, 2023, and September 3, 2024 while employee RSU grants will one-third vest on each of the following dates: November 21, 2022, October 1, 2023, and October 1, 2024. The stock option grants will one-third vest on each of the following dates: October 1, 2022, October 1, 2023, and October 1, 2024. We recognized compensation expense of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

On January 6, 2023, in accordance with the provisions allowed under the LTIP, the Compensation Committee adjusted the exercise price of all outstanding stock options to $35.00 per share effective January 31, 2023 to account for the special dividend paid on that date.

Insurance

We are self-insured for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, general liability, control of well, and employee medical benefits. Insured policies for other coverage contain deductibles or retentions per occurrence that range from zero to $1.0 million. We have purchased stop-loss coverage to limit, to the extent feasible, per occurrence and aggregate exposure to certain types of claims. There is no assurance that the insurance coverage we have will protect us against liability from all potential consequences. If insurance coverage becomes more expensive, we may choose to self-insure, decrease our limits, raise our deductibles, or any combination of these rather than pay higher premiums.

Oil and Natural Gas

Oil and natural gas revenues increased $~~111~~54.20 million or 6920% during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower production volumes. Including derivatives settled, average oil prices increased 15% to $57.48 per barrel, average natural gas prices increased 25% to $3.65 per Mcf, and NGLs prices increased 28% to $30.00 per barrel. Oil production decreased 21%, natural gas production decreased 17%, and NGLs production decreased 18%. The decrease in volumes was primarily due to normal well production declines and divestitures of producing properties which have not been offset by new drilling or acquisitions.

Oil and natural gas operating costs ~~decreased~~increased $6210.6 million or 4313% during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~the~~higher ~~absence~~production oftax ~~gains~~expenses ~~recognized~~due ~~on the settlement of Predecessor Period liabilities subject~~ to ~~compromise~~increased ~~under~~revenues, ~~the~~higher ~~Plan~~employee ~~offset~~compensation byand ~~increased~~separation ~~production~~benefits, ~~tax~~and ~~expenses~~higher ~~due~~lease tooperating ~~increased revenues~~expenses.

Impairment of oil and natural gas properties decreased $419.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the absence of the ceiling test write-downs and salt water disposal asset impairment recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and natural gas properties decreased $59.0 million or 71% during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to a lower depreciable base subsequent to fresh start accounting and lower average production.

Contract Drilling

Contract drilling revenues ~~decreased~~increased $1671.86 million or 1894% during the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~lower~~a ~~rig termination and standby fees of $0.1 million in 2021 compared to $18.5 million in 2020.

Depreciation of contract drilling equipment decreased $11.3 million or 64% during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to fewer rigs available for use and a lower depreciable base subsequent to fresh start accounting, partially offset by higher average drilling rig utilization.

Mid-Stream

Mid-Stream revenues ~~increased~~decreased $~~158~~258.85 million or 8776% during the year ended December 31 ~~2021~~2022 compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~higher~~the ~~prices,~~absence ~~partially~~of ~~offset~~activity bysubsequent ~~lower~~to ~~volumes.~~March ~~Gas~~1, ~~processed~~2022 ~~volumes~~as ~~per~~a ~~day~~result ~~decreased~~of ~~14%~~the ~~between~~deconsolidation ~~the~~of ~~comparative~~Superior, ~~periods~~partially ~~primarily~~offset ~~due~~by tohigher ~~declining~~gas, ~~volumes~~NGL, and ~~fewer~~condensate ~~new~~prices ~~wells~~as ~~connected~~well toas ~~our~~higher ~~processing~~volumes ~~systems~~during the consolidated period.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher average cash equivalents held as well as higher average interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the utilization of our net deferred tax assets.

Effects of Inflation

The effect of inflation in the oil and natural gas industry is primarily driven by the prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas, as well as inflationary factors in the general United States economy. Increases in ~~these~~oil and gas prices increase the demand for our contract drilling rigs and services. This increase in demand affects the dayrates we can obtain for our contract drilling services. During periods of higher demand for our drilling rigs we have experienced increases in labor costs and the costs of services to support our drilling rigs. Historically, during this same period, when oil, NGLs, and natural gas prices declined, labor rates did not come back down to the levels existing before the increases. If commodity prices increase substantially for a long period, shortages in support equipment (like drill pipe, third party services, and qualified labor) can cause additional increases in our material and labor costs. Increases in dayrates for drilling rigs also increase the cost of drilling our oil and natural gas properties. How inflation will affect us in the future will depend on increases, if any, realized in our drilling rig rates, the prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas, and the rates we receive for gathering and processing natural gas.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk. Our major market risk exposure is in the prices we receive for our oil, NGLs, and natural gas production. Those prices are primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and market prices applicable to our natural gas production. Historically, these prices have fluctuated, and they will probably continue to do so. The price of oil, NGLs, and natural gas also affects both the demand for our drilling rigs and the amount we can charge for our drilling rigs. Based on our ~~2021~~ production for the year ended December 31, 2022, a $0.10 per Mcf change in what we ~~are~~receive ~~paid~~ for our natural gas production, without the effect of derivatives, would cause a corresponding $~~250~~0.2 million per month ($32.04 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow. A $1.00 per barrel change in our oil price, without the effect of derivatives, would ~~have~~result in a $~~130~~0.1 million per month ($1.63 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow and a $1.00 per barrel change in our NGLs ~~prices~~price, without the effect of derivatives, would ~~have~~result in a $~~220~~0.2 million per month ($2.62 million annualized) change in our pre-tax operating cash flow.

We use derivative transactions to manage the risk associated with price volatility. Our decision on the type and quantity of our production and the price(s) of our derivative(s) is based, in part, on our view of current and future market conditions. The transactions we use include financial price swaps under which we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unit Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020 (Successor)~~2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for ~~the~~each ~~year~~of ~~ended~~the ~~December~~two ~~31,~~years ~~2021~~in ~~and~~ the period ~~from~~ended ~~September 1, 2020 to~~ December 31, ~~2020 (Successor) and for the period from January 1~~2022, ~~2020 to August 31, 2020 (Predecessor),~~ and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022, and ~~2020~~2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for ~~the~~each ~~year~~of ~~ended~~the ~~December~~two ~~31,~~years ~~2021~~in ~~and for~~ the ~~periods~~period ~~from~~ended ~~September 1, 2020 to~~ December 31, ~~2020 (Successor) and from January 1~~2022, ~~2020 to August 31, 2020 (Predecessor),~~ in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

~~Basis~~Deconsolidation of ~~presentation~~a variable interest entity

As discussed in Note 219 to the financial statements, the ~~United~~Company ~~States~~changed ~~Bankruptcy~~its ~~Court~~method ~~for the District~~ of ~~Delaware~~accounting ~~entered an order confirming the plan~~ for ~~reorganization~~a onvariable ~~August~~interest 6,entity ~~2020, and the Company emerged~~ from ~~bankruptcy~~consolidating onits ~~September~~activities 3,to ~~2020.~~accounting ~~Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganizations,~~ for the ~~Successor~~investee as aan ~~new~~equity ~~entity~~method ~~with~~investment ~~assets, liabilities and a capital structure having carrying amounts not comparable with prior periods, as described~~ in ~~Note 25~~2022.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with ~~the~~ U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our ~~audit~~audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit ~~matter~~matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit ~~matters~~matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Proved oil and natural gas property and depletion ~~and proved property impairment~~ — oil and natural gas reserve quantities and future cash flows

As described further in Note 32 to the financial statements, the Company accounts for its oil and natural gas properties using the full cost method of accounting which requires management to make estimates of proved reserve volumes and future net revenues to record depletion expense ~~and to determine if any full cost ceiling impairment exists for its oil and natural gas properties, and if applicable, record impairment~~. To estimate the volume of proved oil and gas reserve quantities and future cash flows, management makes significant estimates and assumptions including forecasting the production decline rate of producing properties. In addition, the estimation of proved oil and gas reserve quantities is also impacted by management's judgments and estimates regarding the financial performance of wells associated with proved reserves to determine if wells are expected, with reasonable certainty, to be economical under the appropriate pricing assumptions required in the estimation of depletion expense ~~and impairment expense~~. We identified the estimation of proved reserves of oil and natural gas properties to be a critical audit matter due to its impact on depletion expense ~~and potential impairment of oil and natural gas properties~~.

The principal consideration for our determination that the estimation of proved reserves is a critical audit matter is that changes in certain inputs and assumptions, which require a high degree of management subjectivity, necessary to estimate the volume and future revenues of the Company's proved reserves could have a significant impact on the measurement of depletion expense ~~or impairment expense~~. In turn, auditing those inputs and assumptions required complex auditor judgment.

Our audit procedures related to the estimation of proved reserves included the following, among others.

•We evaluated the knowledge, skill, and ability of the Company's ~~third-party~~ reservoir engineering specialists and their relationship to the Company, made inquiries of those reservoir engineers regarding the process followed and judgments made to estimate the proved reserve volumes, and read the reserve report prepared by the reservoir engineering specialists.

•We tested the accuracy of the Company’s depletion ~~and impairment~~ calculations that included these proved reserves.

•We evaluated ~~certain~~sensitive inputs and assumptions used to determine proved reserve volumes and other financial inputs and assumptions, including certain assumptions that are derived from the Company's accounting records. These assumptions included historical pricing differentials, future operating costs, estimated future capital costs, and ownership interests.

•We tested management's process for determining the assumptions, including examining the underlying support, on a sample basis. Specifically, our audit procedures involved testing management's assumptions as follows:

◦We compared the estimated pricing differentials used in the reserve report to realized prices related to revenue transactions recorded in the current year and examined contractual support for the pricing differentials.

◦We evaluated the models used to estimate the future operating costs at year-end and compared the models to historical operating costs.

◦We evaluated the ownership interests used in the reserve report by inspecting lease and title records on a sample basis.

◦We applied analytical procedures to the reserve report by comparing the reserve report to historical actual results and to the prior year reserve report.

NOTE 2 – ~~2020~~SUMMARY ~~EMERGENCE~~OF ~~FROM~~SIGNIFICANT ~~VOLUNTARY~~ACCOUNTING ~~REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11~~POLICIES

~~Voluntary~~Basis ~~Reorganization~~of ~~Under~~Presentation. The ~~Chapter~~consolidated 11financial statements include the accounts of Unit Corporation and its subsidiaries. We consolidated the ~~Bankruptcy~~financial ~~Code~~position, operating results, and cash flows of Superior prior to March 1, 2022, on which date the Master Services and Operating Agreement (MSA) was amended and restated, with the result that we no longer consolidate Superior's financial position, operating results, and cash flows during periods subsequent to March 1, 2022. Accordingly, the 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes reflect Superior activity on a consolidated basis for the two months prior to March 1, 2022. See Note 19 – Superior Investment for more information on the Superior investment and consolidation conclusions. All intercompany transactions and accounts between consolidated entities have been eliminated, including activity between Unit and Superior during the two months prior to March 1, 2022. Affiliate transactions and accounts between Unit and Superior subsequent to March 1, 2022 are not eliminated.

•Each lender under the (i) the Unit credit agreement, and (ii) the DIP Credit Agreement received (or was entitled to receive) its pro rata share of revolving loans, term loans, and letter of credit participation under the Exit Credit Agreement, in exchange for the lender’s allowed claims under the Unit credit agreement or DIP Credit Agreement;

•Each lender under the Unit credit agreement and the DIP Credit Agreement received its pro rata share of an equity fee under the exit facility equal to 5% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution by shares reserved for issuance under a management incentive plan and upon exercise of the warrants described below);

•The company issued a total of 12.0 million shares of New Common Stock at a par value of $0.01 per share to be subsequently distributed in accordance with the Plan;

•Each holder of the Notes received its pro rata share of New Common Stock based on equity allocations at each of Unit, UDC, and UPC in exchange for the holder’s allowed Notes claim;

•Each holder of an allowed general unsecured claim against Unit or UPC was entitled to receive its pro rata share of New Common Stock based on equity allocations at each of Unit and UPC, respectively;

•A disputed claims reserve was established for distribution of New Common Stock on allowance of certain disputed general unsecured claims;

UNIT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

•Each holder of an allowed general unsecured claim against UDC, 8200 Unit, Unit Drilling Colombia and Unit Drilling USA received payment or will receive payment in full for that claim in the ordinary course of business; and

•Each retained or former employee with a claim for vested severance benefits, who opted into a settlement, received or will receive cash payment(s) for the claim in lieu of an allocation of New Common Stock otherwise provided to holders of general unsecured claims.

All shares of New Common Stock are subject to the transfer restrictions in the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Charter). Article XIV of the Charter provides that, subject to the exceptions provided in Article XIV, any attempted transfer of the New Common Stock will be prohibited and void ab initio if (i) because of the transfer, any person becomes a Substantial Stockholder (as defined below) other than by reason of Treasury Regulations section 1.382-2T(j)(3) or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership (as defined in the Charter) interest of any Substantial Stockholder will be increased. A “Substantial Stockholder” means a person with a Percentage Stock Ownership of 4.75% or more.

Warrants

Each holder of the Old Common Stock outstanding before the Effective Date that did not opt out of the release under the Plan, is entitled to receive 0.03460447 warrants for every share of Old Common Stock owned. Each warrant will initially be exercisable for one share of New Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price of the Warrants will be determined, and the Warrants will become exercisable, once the Debtors have completed the claims reconciliation process and resolved any objections to disputed claims under the Bankruptcy Petitions. The initial exercise price per share for the Warrants will be set at an amount that implies a recovery by holders of the Subordinated Notes of the $650 million principal amount of the Subordinated Notes plus interest thereon to the May 15, 2021 maturity date of the Notes. The Warrants expire on the earliest of (i) September 3, 2027, (ii) consummation of a Cash Sale (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation, dissolutions or winding up of the company (such earliest date, the Expiration Date). Each Warrant that is not exercised on or before the Expiration Date will expire, and all rights under that Warrant and the Warrant Agreement will cease on the Expiration Date.

The warrants issued to holders of the company’s Old Common Stock that did not opt-out of the releases under the Plan and that owned their shares of old common stock through Direct Registration are outlined below:

Issuance Date			Warrants Issued
December 21, 2020			1,764,164
February 11, 2021			42,511
July 29, 2021			10,521
October 13, 2021			5,005
Total			1,822,201

Events of Default

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, in addition to other events of default including cross-defaults, constituted an event of default that accelerated the company's obligations under the Unit credit agreement and the indenture governing the Notes. Under the Bankruptcy Code, the creditors under these debt agreements were stayed from taking any action against the company. Superior and its subsidiaries were not debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the Chapter 11 Cases did not result in an event of default under the Superior credit agreement. In addition, the Debtors' filing of the bankruptcy petitions constituted a termination event under the Debtors' hedge agreements, which allowed the counterparties to those hedge agreements to terminate the outstanding hedges, as those termination events were not stayed by the Chapter 11 Cases.

UNIT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On filing the Chapter 11 Cases, Unit entered into a Continuation Agreement (Continuation Agreement) with Superior, SPC Midstream Operating, L.L.C., and SP Investor to continue the parties' contractual relationships during the Chapter 11 Cases under the governance, operational, and related agreements entered into by those parties at the formation of the company’s midstream joint venture with SP Investor, which agreements contained certain provisions that otherwise would have been triggered by filing the Chapter 11 Cases.

Liquidity and Borrowings

The Debtors entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. Before repayment and termination on the Effective Date, borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement would have matured on the earliest of (i) September 22, 2020 (subject to a two-month extension to be approved by the DIP lenders), (ii) the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Debtors under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, (iii) the effective date of a plan of reorganization or liquidation in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iv) the entry of an order by the bankruptcy court dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases or converting such Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (v) the date of termination of the DIP lenders’ commitments and the acceleration of any outstanding extensions of credit, in each case, under the DIP Credit Agreement and subject to the bankruptcy court’s orders.

On the Effective Date, the DIP Credit Agreement was repaid in full and terminated. Following the Debtors’ emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, each holder of an allowed claim under the DIP Credit Agreement received its pro rata share of revolving loans, term loans, and letter-of-credit participations under the Exit credit agreement. In addition, each holder received or was entitled to receive its pro rata share of an equity fee under the exit facility equal to 5% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution by shares reserved for issuance under a management incentive plan and on exercise of the Warrants).

Also on the Effective Date, under the Plan, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (Exit credit agreement). Refer to Note 10 – Long-Term Debt And Other Long-Term Liabilities for the terms of the Exit credit agreement.

The Debtors discontinued recording interest on liabilities subject to compromise as of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. Contractual interest on liabilities subject to compromise not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the eight months ended August 31, 2020 was approximately $12.4 million, respectively, representing interest expense from the filing date through August 31, 2020. In addition, the Debtors did not make the May 15, 2020 $21.5 million required interest payment on the Notes.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unit Corporation and its subsidiaries. We have consolidated the activities of Superior, a 50/50 joint venture between Unit and SP Investor Holdings, LLC which qualifies as a VIE under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), for each of the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as defined in the accounting standards, since we have the power to direct those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of Superior as further described in Note 20 – Variable Interest Entities. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

During 2021, management identified an error in the initial allocation of equity between Unit Corporation and non-controlling interests as of the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The impact of the error was not material to any of our prior period financial statements and the error was corrected with one-time adjustment during the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, retained earnings (deficit) was reduced by $1.4 million with a corresponding decrease to non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries.

Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. There was no impact from these reclassifications to consolidated net income/(loss) or shareholders' equity.

2020 Reorganization and Fresh Start Accounting. The consolidated financial statements in Note 25 - Fresh Start Accounting have been prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations. We evaluated the events between September 1, 2020 and September 3, 2020 and concluded that the use of an accounting convenience date of September 1, 2020 (Fresh Start Reporting Date) would not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. This was reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 1, 2020. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements and notes after September 1, 2020, are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements and notes before that date. We refer to the reorganized company in these consolidated financial statements and notes as the "Successor" for periods subsequent to August 31, 2020, and "Predecessor" for periods prior to September 1, 2020, and the consolidated financial statements and notes have been presented with a "black line" division to delineate the lack of comparability between the Predecessor and Successor periods.

We have applied the relevant guidance provided in U.S. GAAP regarding the accounting and financial statement disclosures for entities that have filed petitions with the bankruptcy court and reorganized as going concerns in preparing the consolidated financial statements and notes through the period ended August 31, 2020. That guidance requires certain transactions and events that were directly related to our reorganization be distinguished from our normal business operations for periods after our bankruptcy filing on May 22, 2020 or post-petition periods. Accordingly, certain expenses, realized gains, and losses and provisions that were realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases have been included in "Reorganization items, net" on our consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting Estimates. Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include:

•oil and gas reserves quantities and values;

•full cost ceiling test and impairment assessments for property and equipment;

•asset retirement obligations;

•fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities;

•fair value of the warrant liability;

~~•reorganization fair value as of the Effective Date,~~58

•grant date fair value of stock-based compensation;

•workers' compensation liabilities;

•contingency, litigation, and environmental liabilities;

•and realizability of deferred tax assets;

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We include as cash and cash equivalents all cash on hand and on deposit, as well as highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The financing section of our consolidated statements of cash flows reflects bank overdraft activity. Bank overdrafts are checks issued before the end of the period, but not presented to our bank for payment before the end of the period. There were no bank overdrafts as of December 31, 2021 and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020.

Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses. Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less an allowance for expected credit losses. We estimate the allowance for credit losses based on existing economic conditions, the financial condition of our customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for credit losses only after all collection attempts have been unsuccessful.

Property and Equipment.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties. We account for our oil and natural gas exploration and development activities using the full cost method of accounting prescribed by the SEC under which we capitalize all productive and non-productive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of our oil, NGLs, and natural gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs. We did not capitalize any directly related overhead costs in 2021 or 2020.

Capitalized costs are amortized on a units-of-production method based on proved oil and natural gas reserves. The calculation of DD&A includes all capitalized costs, estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves, and estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values less accumulated amortization, unproved properties, and equipment not placed in service. The average rates used for DD&A were $1.49 and $2.67 per Boe for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Our contract drilling segment may provide drilling services for our oil and natural gas segment. Revenues and expenses from these services are eliminated in our consolidated statements of operations, with any recognized profit reducing the cost of our oil and natural gas properties. We eliminated contract drilling revenues and capitalized oil and natural gas costs of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no intercompany drilling services provided for elimination during the year ended December 31, 2021.

No gains or losses are recognized on the sale, conveyance, or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties unless it results in a significant alteration to our full cost pool.

Drilling equipment, gas gathering and processing equipment, ~~corporate land and building,~~ transportation equipment, and other property and equipment. Drilling equipment, gas gathering and processing equipment, ~~corporate land and building,~~ transportation equipment, and other property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and enhancements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are expensed. Prior to emergence from bankruptcy, we recorded depreciation of drilling equipment using the units-of-production method based on estimated useful lives starting at 15 years, including a minimum provision of 20% of the active rate when the equipment is idle, unless idle for greater than 48 months, then it was depreciated at the full active rate. We also used the composite method of depreciation for drill pipe and collars and calculate the depreciation by footage drilled compared to total estimated remaining footage. As of emergence and thereafter, we elected to depreciate all drilling assets utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically ranging from four to ten years. Depreciation ~~on our former corporate building was computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life~~ of ~~39 years. Depreciation of~~ other property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically ranging from three to 15 years.

Impairment and disposal. We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets for potential impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances suggest these carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Changes that could prompt an assessment include equipment obsolescence, changes in the market demand for a specific asset, changes in commodity prices, periods of relatively low drilling rig utilization, declining revenue per day, declining cash margin per day, or overall changes in general market conditions. Assets are determined to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows directly related to the asset, including disposal value if any, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If any asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying asset exceeds its fair value. The estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, including prices for similar assets. Changes in these estimates could cause us to reduce the carrying value of property and equipment. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly subjective. They involve expectations about future cash flows generated by our assets and reflect our assumptions and judgments regarding future industry conditions and their effect on future utilization levels, dayrates, and costs. Using different estimates and assumptions could result in materially different carrying values of our assets. 59

When property and equipment components are disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is generally reflected in operations. For dispositions of drill pipe and drill collars, an average cost for the appropriate feet of drill pipe and drill collars is removed from the asset account and charged to accumulated depreciation and proceeds, if any, are credited to accumulated depreciation.

Capitalized Interest. Interest costs associated with major asset additions are capitalized during the construction period using a weighted average interest rate based on our outstanding borrowings. We did not capitalize any interest costs in 2021 or 2020.

Impairment and disposal. We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Changes that could prompt an assessment include equipment obsolescence, declines in the market demand for a an asset, declines in commodity prices, periods of relatively low drilling rig utilization, declining revenue or cash margin per day, or overall unfavorable changes in general market conditions. Assets are determined to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows directly related to the asset, including disposal value, if any, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If any asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying asset exceeds its fair value. The estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, including prices for similar assets. Changes in these estimates could cause us to reduce the carrying value of property and equipment. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly subjective. They involve expectations about future cash flows generated by our assets and reflect our assumptions and judgments regarding future industry conditions and their effect on future utilization levels, dayrates, and costs. Using different estimates and assumptions could result in materially different carrying values of our assets.

When property and equipment components are disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is generally reflected in income from operations. For dispositions of drill pipe and drill collars, an average cost for the appropriate feet of drill pipe and drill collars is removed from the asset account and charged to accumulated depreciation and proceeds, if any, are credited to accumulated depreciation unless proceeds would exceed remaining cost, in which case excess proceeds are recorded as a gain on disposition of assets.

Leases. We enter into various agreements to lease equipment and buildings, and we review each agreement to determine if they contain operating or finance leases with a term greater than 12 months. We recognize a lease liability on identified leases for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term which includes all noncancelable periods as well as periods covered by options to extend the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as a lease right-of-use asset and liability. Most leases are valued using an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined based on information available at the commencement date of a lease, as an implicit borrowing rate cannot be determined under most of our leases. Leases may include renewal, purchase or termination options that can extend or shorten the term of the lease. These options are evaluated at inception and throughout the contract term to determine if a modification of the lease term is required. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as a lease right-of-use asset and liability.

Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term including any reasonably certain renewal periods, while those determined to be finance leases will be recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations. The determination of whether a lease is accounted for as a finance lease or an operating lease requires management's estimates of the fair value of the underlying asset and its estimated economic useful life, among other considerations.

ARO. We ~~are required to~~ record the estimated fair value of the liabilities relating to the future retirement of our long-lived assets. Our oil and natural gas wells are plugged and abandoned when the oil and natural gas reserves in those wells are depleted or the wells are no longer able to produce. The estimated liabilities related to these future costs are recorded at the time the wells are drilled or acquired. We use historical experience to determine the estimated plugging costs considering the well's type, depth, physical location, and ultimate productive life. A risk-adjusted discount rate and an inflation factor are applied to estimate the present value of these obligations. We depreciate the capitalized asset retirement cost and accrete the obligation over time. Revisions to the obligations and assets are recognized at the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate with a corresponding adjustment made to the full cost pool. Our mid-stream ~~segment~~investment has property and equipment at locations leased or under right of way agreements which may require asset removal or site restoration, however, prior to the deconsolidation of Superior, we ~~are~~were not able to reasonably measure the fair value of the obligations as the potential settlement dates ~~are~~were indeterminable.

Insurance. We are self-insured for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, control of well and employee medical benefits. Insured policies for other coverage contain deductibles or retentions per occurrence that range from zero to $1.0 million. We have purchased stop-loss coverage to limit, to the extent feasible, per occurrence and aggregate exposure to certain types of claims. There is no assurance that the insurance coverages we have will adequately protect us against liability from all potential consequences. If insurance coverage becomes more expensive, we may choose to self-insure, decrease our limits, raise our deductibles, or any combination of these rather than pay higher premiums.60

Commodity Derivatives. All commodity derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value and all our commodity derivative counterparties are subject to master netting agreements. We net the value of the derivative transactions with the same counterparty if a legal right to set-off exists. Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivatives and gains or losses on commodity derivative settlement are reported in gain (loss) on derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations. Cash settlements received or paid for matured, early-terminated, and/or modified derivatives are reported in cash receipts (payments) on derivatives settled in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are recognized based on earnings reported for tax return purposes in addition to a provision for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized at the end of each reporting period for the future tax consequences of cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on existing tax laws and enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. U.S. GAAP requires the recognition of a deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We periodically assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets by considering all available evidence (both positive and negative) to determine whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and a valuation allowance is required.

Commodity Derivatives. All commodity derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value and all our commodity derivative counterparties are subject to master netting agreements. We net the value of the derivative transactions with the same counterparty if a legal right to set-off exists. Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivatives and gains or losses on commodity derivative settlement are reported in loss on derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations. Cash settlements received or paid for matured, early-terminated, and/or modified derivatives are reported in cash payments on derivatives settled in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Natural Gas Balancing. When there are insufficient remaining reserves to offset a gas imbalance, we recognize an asset or a liability for the under-produced or over-produced position. We have recorded a receivable of $3.5 million and a liability of $4.3 million as of December 31, 2022 on certain properties where we estimate that insufficient reserves are available for us to recover our under-production from future production volumes or insufficient reserves available to allow the under-produced owners to recover their under-production from future production volumes, respectively. Our policy is to expense the pro-rata share of lease operating costs from all wells as incurred. Such expenses relating to the balancing position on wells in which we have imbalances are not material.

Stock-Based Compensation. We recognize the cost of stock-based compensation over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period, based on the grant date fair value of those awards and account for forfeitures as they occur.

These charges are included within impairments in our consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS— (Continued)

During the eight months ended August 31, 2020, we determined our undeveloped acreage would not be fully developed and thus the carrying values of certain of our unproved oil and gas properties were not recoverable resulting in an impairment of $226.5 million. That impairment had a corresponding increase to our depletion base and contributed to our recorded full cost ceiling impairment. We recorded a non-cash ceiling test write-down of $393.7 million pre-tax ($346.6 million, net of tax) during the eight months ended August 31, 2020 due to the reduction for the 12-month average commodity prices and the impairment of our unproved oil and gas properties described above. These charges are included within impairments in our consolidated statements of operations.

In addition to the impairment evaluations of our proved and unproved oil and gas properties in the eight months ended August 31, 2020, we also evaluated the carrying value of our salt water disposal assets. Based on our revised forecast, we determined that some were no longer expected to be used and wrote off the assets for total expense of $17.6 million during the eight months ended August 31, 2020. These amounts are reported in loss on abandonment of assets in our consolidated statements of operations.

There were no impairments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

2020

During the eight months ended August 31, 2020, we recorded expense of $1.1 million related to the write-down of certain equipment that we consider abandoned. These amounts are reported in loss on abandonment of assets in our consolidated statements of operations.

During the eight months ended August 31, 2020, due to market conditions, we performed impairment testing on two asset groups which were comprised of our SCR diesel-electric drilling rigs and our BOSS drilling rigs. We concluded that the net book value of the SCR drilling rigs asset group was not recoverable through estimated undiscounted cash flows and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $407.1 million in addition to non-cash impairment charges of $3.0 million for other miscellaneous drilling equipment. These charges are included within impairments in our consolidated statements of operations. We concluded that no impairment was needed on the BOSS drilling rigs asset group as of March 31, 2020 as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the $242.5 million carrying value of the asset group by a relatively minor margin. Some of the more sensitive assumptions used in evaluating the contract drilling rigs asset groups for potential impairment included forecasted utilization, gross margins, salvage values, discount rates, and terminal values. There were no additional triggering events identified during the eight months ended August 31, 2020 or four months ended December 31, 2020.

Mid-Stream

2021

In December 2021, we determined that the carrying value of a gathering system in Pennsylvania was not recoverable and exceeded its estimated fair value due to unfavorable forecasted economics.

These charges are included within impairments in our consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS— (Continued)

NOTE 5 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Our revenue streams are reported under our three segments: oil and natural gas, contract drilling, and mid-stream. This is our disaggregation of revenue and how our segment revenue is reported (as reflected in Note 23 – Industry Segment Information). Revenue from the oil and natural gas segment is derived from sales of our oil and natural gas production. Revenue from the contract drilling segment is derived by contracting with upstream companies to drill an agreed-on number of wells or provide drilling rigs and services over an agreed-on period. Revenue from the Mid-Stream segment is derived from gathering, transporting, and processing natural gas production and selling those commodities.

We satisfy the performance obligation under each segment's contracts as follows:

•contract drilling and mid-stream contracts - satisfy the performance obligations over the agreed-on time;

•oil and natural gas contracts - satisfy the performance obligation with each volume delivery.

For oil and natural gas contracts, as it is more feasible, we account for these deliveries monthly.

Per the contracts for all segments, customers pay for the services/goods received monthly within an agreed number of days following the end of the month. Other than the mid-stream demand fees and shortfall fees discussed further below, there were no other contract assets or liabilities falling within the scope of this accounting pronouncement.

Oil and Natural Gas Revenues

Typical types of revenue contracts entered into by our oil and gas segment are Oil Sales Contracts, North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) Contracts, Gas Gathering and Processing Agreements, and revenues earned as the non-operated party with the operator serving as an agent on our behalf under joint operating agreements. Consideration received is variable and settled monthly while contract terms can range from a single month or evergreen to terms of a decade or more. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the sold product which typically occurs at the point of delivery to the customer.

Certain costs, as either a deduction from revenue or as an expense, are determined based on when control of the commodity is transferred to our customer, which would affect our total revenue recognized, but will not affect gross profit. For example, gathering, processing and transportation costs are included as part of the contract price with the customer on transfer of control of the commodity are included in the transaction price, while costs incurred while we are in control of the commodity represent operating costs.

Contract Drilling ~~Revenues~~Revenue

Contract drilling revenues and expenses are primarily recognized as services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. Payments for mobilization and demobilization activities do not ~~related~~relate to a distinct good or service within the contract, but are recognized as revenue when received as deferral for ratable recognition over the contract term is not material to the consolidated financial statements. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred and any reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as both revenues and direct costs.

Most of our drilling contracts have a term of one year or less and the remaining performance obligations under the contracts without a fixed term are not material.

Mid-Stream ~~Contracts Revenues~~Revenue

~~Revenues are generated from the fees earned for gas gathering and processing services provided to a customer or by selling of hydrocarbons to other mid-stream companies.~~ The typical revenue contracts used by this segment are gas gathering and processing agreements as well as product sales. WeSuperior ~~recognize~~recognizes sales revenue at the point in time when control transfers to the purchaser, typically at a specified delivery point, based on the contractually agreed upon fixed or index-based price received. Contracts for gas gathering and processing services may include terms for demand fees or shortfall fees. Demand fees or shortfall fees exist in arrangements where a customer agrees to pay a fixed fee for a contractually agreed upon pipeline capacity or shortfall fees for any minimum volumes not utilized, which create performance obligations for each individual period of reservation. Revenue for these fees is recognized once the services have been completed, the customer no longer has access to the contracted capacity, or the likelihood of the customer exercising all or a portion of their remaining rights becomes remote.
