Interim Financial Statements, Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Significant Estimates
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries and joint ventures that are less than wholly-owned and are not involved in oil and natural gas exploration, including its midstream joint venture, San Mateo Midstream, LLC (collectively with its subsidiaries, “San Mateo”), and the net income and equity attributable to the non-controlling interest in these subsidiaries have been reported separately as required by Accounting Standards Codification, Consolidation (Topic 810). The Company proportionately consolidates certain joint ventures that are less than wholly-owned and are involved in oil and natural gas exploration. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022. Amounts as of December 31, 2021 are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and natural gas revenues, accrued assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities and oil and natural gas reserves. The estimates of oil and natural gas reserves quantities and future net cash flows are the basis for the calculations of depletion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties, as well as estimates of asset retirement obligations and certain tax accruals. While the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Property and Equipment
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company is required to perform a ceiling test each quarter that determines a limit, or ceiling, on the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties based primarily on the after-tax estimated future net cash flows from oil and natural gas properties using a 10 % discount rate and the arithmetic average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices for the prior 12-month period. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the cost center ceiling was higher than the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, and, as a result, no
The Company capitalized approximately $10.4 million and $9.2 million of its general and administrative costs and approximately $0.8 million and $1.9 million of its interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company capitalized approximately $23.6 million and $18.7 million of its general and administrative costs and approximately $4.4 million and $2.5 million of its interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share
The Company reports basic earnings attributable to Matador shareholders per common share, which excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, and diluted earnings attributable to Matador shareholders per common share, which includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities unless their impact is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4 — DEBT
At June 30, 2022, the Company had (i) $906.0 million of outstanding senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), (ii) no borrowings outstanding under its reserves-based revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) and (iii) approximately $45.6 million in outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement. During the first quarter of 2022, the $7.5 million unsecured U.S. Small Business Administration loan was forgiven under the terms of the loan agreement and recorded as a gain on the extinguishment of debt within “Other expense” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repaid the remaining $50.0 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and repurchased $144.0 million of its Notes for $142.4 million. Between June 30, 2022 and July 25, 2022, the Company repurchased an additional $14.2 million of its Notes for $13.7 million.

Facility. Between June 30, 2022 and July 26, 2022, San Mateo repaid $20.0
Credit Agreements
MRC Energy Company
The borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is determined semi-annually as of May 1 and November 1 by the lenders based primarily on the estimated value of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31 and June 30 of each year, respectively. The Company and the lenders may each request an unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base once between scheduled redetermination dates. In April 2022, the lenders completed their review of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the borrowing base was increased to $2.0 billion, the borrowing commitment was increased to $775.0 million and the maximum facility amount remained $1.5 billion. In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement were amended to increase the sublimit for issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate benchmark with an Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) interest rate benchmark. After giving effect to the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement ranges from 1.75 % to 2.75 % per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR and from 0.75 % to 1.75 % per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case depending on the level of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Adjusted Term SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % per annum for all interest periods. This April 2022 redetermination constituted the regularly scheduled May 1 redetermination. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to the lowest of the borrowing base, the maximum facility amount and the elected commitment (subject to compliance with the covenant noted below). The Credit Agreement matures October 31, 2026.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (i) a current ratio, which is defined as (x) total consolidated current assets plus the unused availability under the Credit Agreement divided by (y) total consolidated current liabilities less current maturities under the Credit Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter and (ii) a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as debt outstanding (net of up to $75.0 million of cash or cash equivalents), divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 3.5 to 1.0 or less. The Company believes that it was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2022.
San Mateo Midstream, LLC
The San Mateo Credit Facility is non-recourse with respect to Matador and its wholly-owned subsidiaries but is guaranteed by San Mateo’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of San Mateo’s assets, including real property. The San Mateo Credit Facility matures December 19, 2023 and lender commitments under the revolving credit facility were $450.0 million at June 30, 2022 (subject to San Mateo’s compliance with the covenants noted below). The San Mateo Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for potential increases in lender commitments to up to $700.0 million.
The San Mateo Credit Facility requires San Mateo to maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as total consolidated funded indebtedness outstanding (as defined in the San Mateo Credit Facility) divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 5.0 or less, subject to certain exceptions. The San Mateo Credit Facility also requires San Mateo to maintain an interest coverage ratio, which is defined as a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation divided by San Mateo’s consolidated interest expense, of 2.5 or more. The San Mateo Credit Facility also restricts the ability of San Mateo to distribute cash to its members if San Mateo’s liquidity is less than 10 % of the lender commitments under the San Mateo Credit Facility. The Company believes that San Mateo was in compliance with the terms of the San Mateo Credit Facility at June 30, 2022.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories.
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that are valued with industry standard models that consider various inputs, including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) time value of money and (iii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument and can be derived from observable data or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data that reflect a company’s own market assumptions.

Processing, Transportation and Produced Water Disposal Commitments
Firm Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with third parties whereby the Company commits to deliver anticipated natural gas and oil production and produced water from certain portions of its acreage for transportation, gathering, processing, fractionation, sales and disposal. The Company paid approximately $12.8 million and $15.1 million for deliveries under these agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $23.8 million and $27.7 million for deliveries under these agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Certain of these agreements contain minimum volume commitments. If the Company does not meet the minimum volume commitments under these agreements, it will be required to pay certain deficiency fees. If the Company ceased operations in the areas subject to these agreements at June 30, 2022, the total deficiencies required to be paid by the Company under these agreements would be approximately $563.3 million.
San Mateo Commitments
The Company dedicated to San Mateo its current and certain future leasehold interests in the Rustler Breaks and Wolf asset areas and acreage in the southern portion of the Arrowhead asset area (the “Greater Stebbins Area”) and the Stateline asset area pursuant to 15-year , fixed-fee oil transportation, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering and produced water disposal agreements. In addition, the Company dedicated to San Mateo its current and certain future leasehold interests in the Rustler Breaks asset area and acreage in the Greater Stebbins Area and Stateline asset area pursuant to 15-year , fixed-fee natural gas processing agreements (collectively with the transportation, gathering and produced water disposal agreements, the “Operational Agreements”). San Mateo provides the Company with firm service under each of the Operational Agreements in exchange for certain minimum volume commitments. The remaining minimum contractual obligation under the Operational Agreements at June 30, 2022 was approximately $315.5 million.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to several legal proceedings encountered in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate outcome and impact on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, it is remote that these legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates in two business segments: (i) exploration and production and (ii) midstream. The exploration and production segment is engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States and is currently focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. The Company also operates in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. The midstream segment conducts midstream operations in support of the Company’s exploration, development and production operations and provides natural gas processing, oil transportation services, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering services and produced water disposal services to third parties. The majority of the Company’s midstream operations in the Rustler Breaks, Wolf and Stateline asset areas and the Greater Stebbins Area in the Delaware Basin, which comprise most of the Company’s midstream operations, are conducted through San Mateo. In addition, on June 30, 2022, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired a cryogenic gas processing plant, three compressor stations and approximately 45 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico through the acquisition of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Midstream Partners, LP (“Summit”) that was subsequently renamed Pronto Midstream, LLC (“Pronto”). Neither San Mateo or its subsidiaries nor Pronto are guarantors of the Notes.
The following tables present selected financial information for the periods presented regarding the Company’s business segments on a stand-alone basis, corporate expenses that are not allocated to a segment and the consolidation and elimination entries necessary to arrive at the financial information for the Company on a consolidated basis (in thousands). On a consolidated basis, midstream services revenues consist primarily of those revenues from midstream operations related to third parties, including working interest owners in the Company’s operated wells. All midstream services revenues associated with Company-owned production are eliminated in consolidation. In evaluating the operating results of the exploration and production and midstream segments, the Company does not allocate certain expenses to the individual segments, including general and administrative expenses. Such expenses are reflected in the column labeled “Corporate.”

NOTE 12 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On December 14, 2021, the Company completed an acquisition of assets from a private operator. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at fair value as of the respective acquisition date. The Company obtained certain oil and natural gas producing properties and undeveloped acreage located in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico, strategically located primarily within the Company’s existing acreage in its Ranger and Arrowhead asset areas.
As consideration for the business combination, the Company paid approximately $161.7 million in cash, subject to certain customary post-closing working capital adjustments, including adjusting for production, revenues, operating expenses and capital expenditures from August 1, 2021 to closing. In addition, the Company will increase the purchase price by $5.0 million for each quarter during 2022 in which the average oil price, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, is greater than $75.00 per barrel. The Company recorded this contingent consideration at fair value on the date of the business combination and will record the change in the fair value in future periods as “Other expense” in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration increased $10.1 million between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid $5.0 million in cash related to this contingent consideration. The estimated fair value of the remaining payments was $13.3 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation method to measure the fair value of the contingent consideration, which has unobservable inputs and is thus classified at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 8 for discussion of the fair value hierarchy).
The preliminary allocation of the consideration given related to this business combination was as follows (in thousands). The Company anticipates that the allocation of the consideration given should be finalized during 2022 upon determination of the final customary purchase price adjustments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained herein and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2022, along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on our website at www.matadorresources.com. Our discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report and the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below for information about the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than our forward-looking statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), (i) references to “we,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Matador Resources Company and its subsidiaries as a whole (unless the context indicates otherwise), (ii) references to “Matador” refer solely to Matador Resources Company and (iii) references to “San Mateo” refer to San Mateo Midstream, LLC, collectively with its subsidiaries. For certain oil and natural gas terms used in this Quarterly Report, please see the “Glossary of Oil and Natural Gas Terms” included with the Annual Report.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Additionally, forward-looking statements may be made orally or in press releases, conferences, reports, on our website or otherwise, in the future by us or on our behalf. Such statements are generally identifiable by the terminology used such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecasted,” “hypothetical,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” or other similar words, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions that may not materialize or that may not be accurate. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such factors include, among others: general economic conditions; our ability to execute our business plan, including whether our drilling program is successful; changes in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices and the demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; our ability to replace reserves and efficiently develop current reserves; the operating results of our midstream business’ oil, natural gas and water gathering and transportation systems, pipelines and facilities, the acquiring of third-party business and the drilling of any additional salt water disposal wells; costs of operations; delays and other difficulties related to producing oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; delays and other difficulties related to regulatory and governmental approvals and restrictions; impact on our operations due to seismic events; availability of sufficient capital to execute our business plan, including from future cash flows, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities and otherwise; our ability to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms; our ability to integrate acquisitions; the operating results of and any potential distributions from our joint ventures; weather and environmental conditions; the impact of the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on oil and natural gas demand, oil and natural gas prices and our business; and the other factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC, all of which are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
•our business strategy;
•our estimated future reserves and the present value thereof, including whether or not a full-cost ceiling impairment could be realized;
•our cash flows and liquidity;
•the amount, timing and payment of dividends, if any;

Overview
We are an independent energy company founded in July 2003 engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States, with an emphasis on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays. Our current operations are focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. We also operate in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. Additionally, we conduct midstream operations in support of our exploration, development and production operations and provide natural gas processing, oil transportation services, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering services and produced water disposal services to third parties.
Second Quarter Highlights
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our total oil equivalent production was 10.1 million BOE, and our average daily oil equivalent production was 110,750 BOE per day, of which 64,300 Bbl per day, or 58%, was oil and 278.5 MMcf per day, or 42%, was natural gas. Our average daily oil production of 64,300 Bbl per day for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 21% year-over-year from 53,400 Bbl per day for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our average daily natural gas production of 278.5 MMcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 16% year-over-year from 239.1 MMcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
For the second quarter of 2022, we reported net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $415.7 million, or $3.47 per diluted common share, on a generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) basis, as compared to net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $105.9 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2021. For the second quarter of 2022, our Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Matador shareholders (“Adjusted EBITDA”), a
24
non-GAAP financial measure, was $663.8 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $261.0 million during the second quarter of 2021. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” For more information regarding our financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022, see “—Results of Operations” below.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $622.8 million, or $5.20 per diluted common share, on a GAAP basis, as compared to net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $166.6 million, or $1.40 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $1.1 billion, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $459.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” For more information regarding our financial results for the three and three and six months ended June 30, 2022, see “—Results of Operations” below.
On June 30, 2022, we acquired a cryogenic gas processing plant, 3 compressor stations and approximately 45 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico through the acquisition of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Midstream Partners, LP (“Summit”) that was subsequently renamed Pronto Midstream, LLC (“Pronto”). In addition, the Company assumed certain takeaway capacity on a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulated natural gas pipeline. As consideration for the business combination, the Company paid approximately $77.8 million in cash, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments.
Operations Update
We began 2022 operating five drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin but contracted a sixth drilling rig during the first quarter to begin development of certain acquired assets in the western portion of the Ranger asset area in Lea County, New Mexico. We operated six drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin throughout the second quarter of 2022. At July 26, 2022, three of these rigs were operating in the Ranger asset area, two of these rigs were operating in the Rustler Breaks asset area and the sixth rig was operating in the Stateline asset area. We signed a contract for a seventh drilling rig late in the second quarter of 2022, which we plan to begin operating in September 2022. Thereafter, we plan to operate seven drilling rigs throughout the remainder of 2022. We have built significant optionality into our drilling program, which should generally allow us to decrease or increase the number of rigs we operate as necessary based on changing commodity prices and other factors.
We turned to sales a total of 29 gross (7.7 net) horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin during the second quarter of 2022, including 11 gross (6.4 net) operated horizontal wells and 18 gross (1.3 net) non-operated horizontal wells. During the second quarter of 2022, we turned to sales 11 gross (6.4 net) horizontal operated wells in the Rustler Breaks asset area: four were Second Bone Spring completions, three were First Bone Spring completions, two were Third Bone Spring completions, one was a Wolfcamp B completion and one was a Wolfcamp A completion. We also participated in nine gross (0.1 net) non-operated wells turned to sales in the Antelope Ridge asset area, five gross (0.4 net) non-operated wells in the Rustler Breaks asset area, two gross (0.7 net) non-operated wells in the Arrowhead asset area and two gross (0.1 net) non-operated wells in the Ranger asset area.
Our average daily oil equivalent production in the Delaware Basin for the second quarter of 2022 was 105,200 BOE per day, consisting of 63,300 Bbl of oil per day and 251.4 MMcf of natural gas per day, a 20% increase from 87,500 BOE per day, consisting of 51,700 Bbl of oil per day and 214.7 MMcf of natural gas per day, in the second quarter of 2021. The Delaware Basin contributed approximately 98% of our daily oil production and approximately 90% of our daily natural gas production in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to approximately 97% of our daily oil production and approximately 90% of our daily natural gas production in the second quarter of 2021.
During the second quarter of 2022, we did not turn to sales any operated wells or participate in any non-operated wells turned to sales on our leasehold properties in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas or in the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana.
2022 Capital Expenditure Budget
At July 26, 2022, we increased our estimated 2022 capital expenditures for drilling, completing and equipping wells (“D/C/E capital expenditures”) to $765.0 to $835.0 million from $640.0 to $710.0 million, as originally estimated, primarily to accommodate the seventh drilling rig and an accelerated drilling program on our Rodney Robinson leasehold in the western portion of the Antelope Ridge asset area and additional working interests obtained through acreage trades and other transactions. At July 26, 2022, our anticipated midstream capital expenditures remained $50.0 to $60.0 million, which includes our proportionate share of estimated 2022 capital expenditures for San Mateo and other wholly-owned midstream projects.
25
Capital Resources Update
Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of common stock in both the first and second quarters of 2022, which were paid on March 14, 2022 and June 3, 2022, respectively. In June 2022, the Board amended the Company’s dividend policy to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share of common stock. In July 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock payable on September 1, 2022 to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2022.
During the second quarter of 2022, we repaid the remaining $50.0 million of borrowings under our fourth amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). We did not have any outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2022. We repurchased $144.0 million of our outstanding senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) for $142.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and also repurchased an additional $14.2 million of Notes for $13.7 million between June 30, 2022 and July 25, 2022.
In April 2022, the lenders under our Credit Agreement, led by Royal Bank of Canada, completed their review of our proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the borrowing base was increased to $2.0 billion from $1.35 billion, the Company’s elected borrowing commitment increased to $775.0 million from $700.0 million, the maximum facility amount remained $1.5 billion and one additional bank joined our lending group. In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement were amended to increase the sublimit for issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate benchmark with an Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) interest rate benchmark. After giving effect to the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR and from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case depending on the level of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Adjusted Term SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum for all interest periods. This April 2022 redetermination constituted the regularly scheduled May 1 redetermination. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to the lowest of the borrowing base, the maximum facility amount and the elected borrowing commitment.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Oil and natural gas revenues. Our oil and natural gas revenues increased $480.7 million, or 117%, to $892.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $412.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our oil revenues increased $335.1 million, or 106%, to $650.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $315.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase in oil revenues resulted from a 71% increase in the weighted average oil price realized for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $111.06 per Bbl, as compared to $64.90 per Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and from a 21% increase in our oil production to 5.9 million Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 4.9 million Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our natural gas revenues increased $145.6 million, or 150%, to $242.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $97.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in natural gas revenues resulted from a 115% increase in the weighted average natural gas price realized for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $9.57 per Mcf, as compared to a weighted average natural gas price of $4.46 per Mcf realized for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and from a 16% increase in our natural gas production to 25.3 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 21.8 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
27
Third-party midstream services revenues. Our third-party midstream services revenues increased $2.0 million, or 10%, to $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Third-party midstream services revenues are those revenues from midstream operations related to third parties, including working interest owners in our operated wells. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our third-party produced water disposal revenues to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and an increase in our third-party natural gas gathering and processing revenues to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Sales of purchased natural gas. Our sales of purchased natural gas increased $49.1 million, over five-fold, to $60.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was the result of both an increase in purchased natural gas volumes sold and the natural gas price realized during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Sales of purchased natural gas reflect those natural gas purchase transactions that we periodically enter into with third parties whereby we purchase natural gas and (i) subsequently sell the natural gas to other purchasers or (ii) process the natural gas at San Mateo’s cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Eddy County, New Mexico (the “Black River Processing Plant”) and subsequently sell the residue gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) to other purchasers. These revenues, and the expenses related to these transactions included in “Purchased natural gas,” are presented on a gross basis in our interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Realized loss on derivatives. Our realized net loss on derivatives was $61.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a realized net loss of $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. We realized a net loss of $34.2 million related to our oil costless collar and oil basis swap contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting primarily from oil prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our oil costless collar contracts and above the strike prices of certain of our oil basis swap contracts. We realized a net loss of $26.9 million related to our natural gas costless collar contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting primarily from natural gas prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our natural gas costless collar contracts. We realized an average loss on our oil derivatives of approximately $5.85 per Bbl produced during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an average loss of approximately $8.77 per Bbl produced during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We realized an average loss on our natural gas derivatives of approximately $1.06 per Mcf produced during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the aggregate net fair value of our open oil and natural gas derivative contracts changed to a net liability of $59.5 million from a net liability of $89.9 million at March 31, 2022, resulting in an unrealized gain on derivatives of $30.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the aggregate net fair value of our open oil and natural gas derivative contracts changed to a net liability of $122.1 million from a net liability of $79.3 million at March 31, 2021, resulting in an unrealized loss on derivatives of $42.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Oil and natural gas revenues. Our oil and natural gas revenues increased $791.0 million, or 109%, to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $728.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our oil revenues increased $582.0 million, or 110%, to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $528.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase in oil revenues resulted from a 69% increase in the weighted average oil price realized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $104.01 per Bbl, as compared to $61.49 per Bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and from a 24% increase in our oil production to 10.7 million Bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 8.6 million Bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our natural gas revenues increased by $209.0 million, or 105%, to $408.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $199.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in natural gas revenues resulted from a 70% increase in the weighted average natural gas price realized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.67 per Mcf, as compared to a weighted average natural gas price of $5.09 per Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and from a 20% increase in our natural gas production to 47.2 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 39.3 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Third-party midstream services revenues. Our third-party midstream services revenues increased $3.9 million, or 11%, to $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our third-party produced water disposal revenues to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and an increase in our third-party natural gas gathering and processing revenues to $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Sales of purchased natural gas. Our sales of purchased natural gas increased $63.9 million, or over four-fold, to $79.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was the result of both an increase in natural gas volumes sold and the natural gas price realized during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
28
Realized loss on derivatives. Our realized net loss on derivatives was $83.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a realized net loss of $68.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We realized a net loss of $52.4 million related to our oil costless collar and oil basis swap contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting primarily from oil prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our oil costless collar contracts and above the strike prices of certain of our oil basis swap contracts. We realized a net loss of $31.2 million related to our natural gas costless collar contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting primarily from natural gas prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our natural gas costless collar contracts. We realized an average loss on our oil derivatives of approximately $4.91 per Bbl produced during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an average loss of $8.00 per Bbl produced during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We realized an average loss on our natural gas derivatives of approximately $0.66 per Mcf produced during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives. During the period from December 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, the aggregate net fair value of our open oil and natural gas derivative contracts changed to a net liability of $59.5 million from a net liability of $14.9 million, resulting in an unrealized loss on derivatives of $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the period from December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021, the aggregate net fair value of our open oil and natural gas derivative contracts changed to a net liability of $122.1 million from a net liability of $35.9 million, resulting in an unrealized loss on derivatives of $86.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Production taxes, transportation and processing. Our production taxes and transportation and processing expenses increased $41.8 million, or 95%, to $85.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $43.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a unit-of-production basis, our production taxes and transportation and processing expenses increased 64% to $8.50 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $5.17 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily attributable to a $39.4 million increase in production taxes to $70.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the significant increase in the oil and natural gas revenues between the two periods.
Lease operating. Our lease operating expenses increased $11.1 million, or 39%, to $39.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our lease operating expenses on a unit-of-production basis increased 17% to $3.95 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $3.39 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily attributable to the increased number of wells
30
being operated by us and other operators (where we own a working interest) and to operating cost inflation for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Plant and other midstream services operating. Our plant and other midstream services operating expenses increased $8.3 million, or 60%, to $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to our increased volumes as well as increased third-party volumes, which resulted in (i) increased expenses associated with our commercial produced water disposal operations of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and (ii) increased expenses associated with our pipeline operations of $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization. Our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $28.6 million, or 31%, to $120.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $91.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the 19% increase in our total oil equivalent production for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to June 30, 2021. On a unit-of-production basis, our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased 10% to $11.91 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $10.78 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in actual costs and estimated future costs to drill, complete and equip our wells between the two periods.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses remained consistent at $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our general and administrative expenses decreased 16% on a unit-of-production basis to $2.42 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $2.88 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was attributable to the 19% increase in our total oil equivalent production between the two periods.
Interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred total interest expense of $19.3 million. We capitalized $0.8 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and expensed the remaining $18.5 million to operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred total interest expense of $19.8 million. We capitalized $1.9 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and expensed the remaining $17.9 million to operations.
Income tax provision. As a result of the full-cost ceiling impairments recorded during 2020, we recognized a valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020, which remained in place at June 30, 2021. As a result, we recorded an income tax provision of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our income tax provision differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to the pre-tax income due to recording the net deferred tax liability for state taxes, primarily in New Mexico, and continuing to recognize a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal net deferred tax assets. Due to a variety of factors, including our significant net income during 2021, our federal valuation allowance was reversed in the third quarter of 2021. Our current income tax provision was $36.3 million and our deferred income tax provision was $99.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate of 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to permanent differences between book and taxable income and state taxes, primarily in New Mexico.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Production taxes, transportation and processing. Our production taxes, transportation and processing expenses increased by approximately $67.5 million, or 86%, to approximately $145.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $78.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. On a unit-of-production basis, our production taxes, transportation and processing expenses increased by 52% to $7.85 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $5.15 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily attributable to a $64.4 million increase in production taxes to $119.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $54.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the significant increase in oil and natural gas revenues between the two periods.
Lease operating expenses. Our lease operating expenses increased by approximately $19.1 million, or 35%, to $73.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our lease operating expenses per unit of production increased 10% to $3.98 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $3.61 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily attributable to the increased number of wells being operated by us and other operators (where we own a working interest) and to operating cost inflation for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Plant and other midstream services operating. Our plant and other midstream services operating expenses increased $14.1 million, or 51%, to $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to our increased volumes as well as third-party volumes,
31
which caused (i) increased expenses associated with our commercial produced water disposal operations of $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, (ii) increased expenses associated with our pipeline operations of $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and (iii) increased expenses associated with operating the Black River Processing Plant of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization. Our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $49.6 million to $215.9 million, or an increase of 30%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $166.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the 22% increase in our oil equivalent production. On a unit-of-production basis, our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $11.65 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or 6%, from $10.98 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in actual costs and estimated future costs to drill, complete and equip our wells between the two periods.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $7.6 million to $54.2 million, or 16%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $46.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased payroll for our existing employees as well as with additional employees joining Matador to support our increased land, geoscience, drilling, completion, production, midstream and administration functions as a result of our continued growth. While our general and administrative expenses increased 16% on an absolute basis, our general and administrative expenses decreased by 5% on a unit-of-production basis to $2.92 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $3.08 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the 22% increase in our oil equivalent production between the two periods.
Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred total interest expense of approximately $39.1 million. We capitalized approximately $4.4 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and expensed the remaining $34.7 million to operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred total interest expense of approximately $40.1 million. We capitalized approximately $2.5 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and expensed the remaining $37.6 million to operations.
Income tax provision. As a result of the full-cost ceiling impairments recorded during 2020, we recognized a valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020, which remained in place at June 30, 2021. As a result, we recorded an income tax provision of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our income tax provision differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to the pre-tax income due to recording the net deferred tax liability for state taxes, primarily in New Mexico, and continuing to recognize a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal net deferred tax assets. Due to a variety of factors, including our significant net income during 2021, our federal valuation allowance was reversed in the third quarter of 2021. Our current income tax provision was $51.7 million and our deferred income tax provision was $152.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate of 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to permanent differences between book and taxable income and state taxes, primarily in New Mexico.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary use of capital has been, and we expect will continue to be during the remainder of 2022 and for the foreseeable future, for the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and for midstream investments. Excluding any possible significant acquisitions, we expect to fund our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2022 primarily through a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flows and performance incentives paid to us by a subsidiary of Five Point Energy LLC, our joint venture partner in San Mateo, in connection with San Mateo. If capital expenditures were to exceed our operating cash flows during the remainder of 2022, we expect to fund any such excess capital expenditures through borrowings under the Credit Agreement or San Mateo’s revolving credit facility (the “San Mateo Credit Facility”) (assuming availability under such facilities) or through other capital sources, including borrowings under additional credit arrangements, the sale or joint venture of midstream assets, oil and natural gas producing assets, leasehold interests or mineral interests and potential issuances of equity, debt or convertible securities, none of which may be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Our future success in growing proved reserves and production will be highly dependent on our ability to generate operating cash flows and access outside sources of capital.
32
At June 30, 2022, we had cash totaling $230.4 million and restricted cash totaling $51.9 million, which was primarily associated with San Mateo. By contractual agreement, the cash in the accounts held by our less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries is not to be commingled with our other cash and is to be used only to fund the capital expenditures and operations of these less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In February 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 14, 2022. In April 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock, which was paid on June 3, 2022. In June 2022, the Board amended our dividend policy to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share of common stock. In July 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock payable on September 1, 2022 to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2022.
At June 30, 2022, we had (i) $906.0 million of outstanding senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), (ii) no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and (iii) approximately $45.6 million in outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement. During the first quarter of 2022, the $7.5 million unsecured U.S. Small Business Administration loan was forgiven under the terms of the loan agreement. During the second quarter of 2022, we repaid the remaining $50.0 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and repurchased $144.0 million of our Notes for $142.4 million.
In April 2022, the lenders under our Credit Agreement completed their review of our proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the borrowing base was increased to $2.0 billion from $1.35 billion, the borrowing commitment was increased to $775.0 million from $700.0 million and the maximum facility amount remained $1.5 billion. In addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement were amended to increase the sublimit for issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million and replace the LIBOR interest rate benchmark with an Adjusted Term SOFR interest rate benchmark. After giving effect to the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR and from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum for borrowings bearing interest with reference to the Alternate Base Rate, in each case depending on the level of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Adjusted Term SOFR includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum for all interest periods. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to the lowest of the borrowing base, the maximum facility amount and the elected commitment (subject to compliance with the covenant noted below). The Credit Agreement matures in October 2026.
The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (i) a current ratio, which is defined as (x) total consolidated current assets plus the unused availability under the Credit Agreement divided by (y) total consolidated current liabilities less current maturities under the Credit Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter and (ii) a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as debt outstanding (net of up to $75.0 million of cash or cash equivalents), divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 3.5 to 1.0 or less. We believe that we were in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2022, San Mateo had $420.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the San Mateo Credit Facility and approximately $9.0 million in outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the San Mateo Credit Facility. The San Mateo Credit Facility matures December 19, 2023 and the lender commitments under that facility are $450 million (subject to San Mateo’s compliance with the covenants noted below). The San Mateo Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for potential increases in lender commitments to up to $700.0 million. The San Mateo Credit Facility is guaranteed by San Mateo’s subsidiaries, secured by substantially all of San Mateo’s assets, including real property, and is non-recourse with respect to Matador and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The San Mateo Credit Facility requires San Mateo to maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as total consolidated funded indebtedness outstanding (as defined in the San Mateo Credit Facility) divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 5.0 or less, subject to certain exceptions. The San Mateo Credit Facility also requires San Mateo to maintain an interest coverage ratio, which is defined as a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation divided by San Mateo’s consolidated interest expense for such period, of 2.5 or more. The San Mateo Credit Facility also restricts the ability of San Mateo to distribute cash to its members if San Mateo’s liquidity is less than 10% of the lender commitments under the San Mateo Credit Facility. We believe that San Mateo was in compliance with the terms of the San Mateo Credit Facility at June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the oil and natural gas industry experienced continued improvement in commodity prices as compared to 2021, primarily resulting from (i) improvements in oil demand as the impact from COVID-19 has subsided, (ii) actions taken by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and certain other oil-exporting countries (“OPEC+”) to moderate the worldwide supply of oil and (iii) changes in supply and demand dynamics, particularly with respect to instability in Russia and Ukraine. As a result, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil prices have increased from $75.21 per barrel at December 31, 2021 to as high as $123.70 per barrel in early March 2022, before falling back to $105.76 per barrel at June 30, 2022, based upon the WTI oil futures contract price for earliest delivery date. Prices for natural gas were also much higher during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, increasing from $3.73 per MMBtu at December
33
31, 2021 to as high as $9.32 per MMBtu in early June 2022, before falling back to $5.42 per MMBtu at June 30, 2022, based upon the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures contract price for earliest delivery date. While oil and natural gas prices have improved significantly in 2022, the general outlook for the oil and natural gas industry for the remainder of the year remains unclear, and we can provide no assurances that commodity prices will remain at current levels. In fact, commodity prices may decline from their current levels. The economic disruptions associated with COVID-19 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the volatility in oil and natural gas prices have also impacted our ability to access the capital markets on reasonably similar terms as were available prior to 2020.
We expect that development of our Delaware Basin assets will be the primary focus of our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2022. We began 2022 operating five contracted drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin but contracted a sixth drilling rig during the first quarter to begin development of certain acquired assets in the western portion of the Ranger asset area in Lea County, New Mexico. We operated six drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin throughout the second quarter of 2022. We signed a contract for a seventh drilling rig late in the second quarter of 2022, which we plan to begin operating in September. Thereafter, we plan to operate seven drilling rigs throughout the remainder of 2022. We have built significant optionality into our drilling program, which should generally allow us to decrease or increase the number of rigs we operate as necessary based on changing commodity prices and other factors. At July 26, 2022, we increased our estimated 2022 capital expenditures for D/C/E capital expenditures to $765.0 to $835.0 million from $640.0 to $710.0 million, as originally estimated, primarily to accommodate the seventh rig and an accelerated drilling program on our Rodney Robinson leasehold in the western portion of the Antelope Ridge asset area and additional working interests obtained through acreage trades and other transactions. At July 26, 2022, our anticipated midstream capital expenditures for 2022 remained at $50.0 to $60.0 million, which includes our proportionate share of estimated 2022 capital expenditures for San Mateo and other wholly-owned midstream projects. Substantially all of these 2022 estimated capital expenditures are expected to be allocated to (i) the further delineation and development of our leasehold position, (ii) the construction, installation and maintenance of midstream assets and (iii) our participation in certain non-operated well opportunities in the Delaware Basin, with the exception of amounts allocated to limited operations in our South Texas and Haynesville shale positions to maintain and extend leases and to participate in certain non-operated well opportunities. Our 2022 Delaware Basin operated drilling program is expected to continue to focus on the continued development of our various asset areas throughout the Delaware Basin, with a continued emphasis on drilling and completing a higher percentage of longer horizontal wells in 2022, including 90% with anticipated completed lateral lengths of two miles or greater.
We may divest portions of our non-core assets, particularly in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana as we have done in the first half of 2022, as well as consider monetizing other assets, such as certain acreage, mineral and royalty interests and midstream assets, as value-creating opportunities arise. In addition, we intend to continue evaluating the opportunistic acquisition of acreage, mineral and royalty interests and midstream assets, principally in the Delaware Basin, during the remainder of 2022. These monetizations, divestitures and capital expenditures are opportunity-specific, and purchase price multiples and per-acre prices can vary significantly based on the asset or prospect. As a result, it is difficult to estimate these monetizations, divestitures and capital expenditures with any degree of certainty; therefore, we have not provided estimated proceeds related to monetizations or divestitures or estimated capital expenditures related to acquiring acreage, mineral and royalty interests and midstream assets for 2022.
Our 2022 capital expenditures may be adjusted as business conditions warrant, and the amount, timing and allocation of such expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. The aggregate amount of capital we expend may fluctuate materially based on market conditions, the actual costs to drill, complete and place on production operated or non-operated wells, our drilling results, the actual costs and scope of our midstream activities, the ability of our joint venture partners to meet their capital obligations, other opportunities that may become available to us and our ability to obtain capital. If oil or natural gas prices decline, or costs increase significantly, we have the flexibility to defer a significant portion of our capital expenditures until later periods to conserve cash or to focus on projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flows. We routinely monitor and adjust our capital expenditures in response to changes in prices, availability of financing, drilling, completion and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, the availability of rigs, success or lack of success in our exploration and development activities, contractual obligations, drilling plans for properties we do not operate and other factors both within and outside our control.
Exploration and development activities are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause these activities to be less successful than we anticipate. A significant portion of our anticipated cash flows from operations for the remainder of 2022 is expected to come from producing wells and development activities on currently proved properties in the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin, the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas and the Haynesville shale in Northwest Louisiana. Our existing wells may not produce at the levels we are forecasting and our exploration and development activities in these areas may not be as successful as we anticipate. Additionally, our anticipated cash flows from operations are based upon current expectations of oil and natural gas prices for the remainder of 2022 and the hedges we currently have in place. For further discussion of our expectations of such commodity prices, see “—General Outlook and Trends” below. We
34
use commodity derivative financial instruments at times to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in oil, natural gas and NGL prices and to partially offset reductions in our cash flows from operations resulting from declines in commodity prices. See Note 7 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for a summary of our open derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $547.7 million to $975.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $427.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities increased $625.8 million to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $457.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily attributable to significantly higher realized oil and natural gas prices and higher oil and natural gas production for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities between the two periods resulted in a net decrease of approximately $78.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $269.9 million to $521.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $251.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to (i) an increase of $179.2 million in D/C/E capital expenditures, (ii) an increase of $57.8 million in expenditures related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, and (iii) the acquisition of a cryogenic natural gas processing plant, compressor stations and natural gas gathering pipelines through the acquisition of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit for $75.8 million. These increases were partially offset by a $46.1 million increase in proceeds from the sale of primarily non-core oil and gas assets. Cash used for D/C/E capital expenditures and for the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to our operated and non-operated drilling and completion activities in the Delaware Basin.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $70.2 million to $258.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $188.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our primary uses of cash related to financing activities were for the repurchase of Notes for $142.4 million and the net repayment of $100.0 million in borrowings under our Credit Agreement. These payments were partially offset by net borrowings under the San Mateo Credit Facility of $35.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our primary use of cash related to financing activities was for the net repayment of $200.0 million in borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
See Note 4 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for a summary of our debt, including the Credit Agreement, the San Mateo Credit Facility and the Notes.
Guarantor Financial Information
The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Matador (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a full and unconditional basis (except for customary release provisions). At June 30, 2022, the Guarantor Subsidiaries were 100% owned by Matador. Matador is a parent holding company and has no independent assets or operations, and there are no significant restrictions on the ability of Matador to obtain funds from the Guarantor Subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Neither San Mateo or its subsidiaries nor Pronto are guarantors of the Notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, certain other non-cash items and non-cash stock-based compensation expense and net gain or loss on asset sales and impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is necessary because it allows us to evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which certain assets were acquired.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as a primary indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components of understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income attributable to Matador shareholders increased $309.8 million to $415.7 million, as compared to net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $105.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net income attributable to Matador shareholders primarily resulted from higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized oil and natural gas prices for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, and from an unrealized gain on derivatives of $30.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an unrealized loss on derivatives of $42.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the total income tax provision to $136.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income attributable to Matador shareholders increased $456.3 million to $622.8 million, as compared to net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $166.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net income attributable to Matador shareholders primarily resulted from higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized oil and natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, and from an unrealized loss on derivatives of $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an unrealized loss on derivatives of $86.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the total income tax provision to $204.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $402.8 million to $663.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $261.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized oil and natural gas prices for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $666.6 million to $1.13 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $459.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized oil and natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time-to-time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to material off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2022, the material off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include (i) non-operated drilling commitments, (ii) firm gathering, transportation, processing, fractionation, sales and disposal commitments and (iii) contractual obligations for which the ultimate settlement amounts are not fixed and determinable, such as derivative contracts that are sensitive to future changes in commodity prices or interest rates, gathering, treating, transportation and disposal commitments on uncertain volumes of future throughput, open delivery commitments and indemnification obligations following certain divestitures. Other than the off-balance sheet arrangements described above, the Company has no transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of or requirements for capital resources. See “—Obligations and Commitments” below and Note 9 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements.

(6)From time to time, we enter into agreements with third parties whereby we commit to deliver anticipated natural gas and oil production and produced water from certain portions of our acreage for transportation, gathering, processing, fractionation, sales and disposal. Certain of these agreements contain minimum volume commitments. If we do not meet the minimum volume commitments under these agreements, we would be required to pay certain deficiency fees. See Note 9 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for more information about these contractual commitments.
(7)We dedicated to San Mateo our current and certain future leasehold interests in the Rustler Breaks and Wolf asset areas and acreage in the southern portion of the Arrowhead asset area (the “Greater Stebbins Area”) and Stateline asset area pursuant to 15-year, fixed-fee oil transportation, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering and produced water disposal agreements. In addition, we dedicated to San Mateo our current and certain future leasehold interests in the Rustler Breaks asset area and acreage in the Greater Stebbins Area and Stateline asset area pursuant to 15-year, fixed-fee natural gas processing agreements. See Note 9 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for more information about these contractual commitments.
General Outlook and Trends
Our business success and financial results are dependent on many factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments, as well as competition from other sources of energy. Commodity price volatility, in particular, is a significant risk to our business, cash flows and results of operations. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by overall economic activity, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as political instability in China and the Middle East, the actions of OPEC+, the ongoing impact of COVID-19, weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, oil and natural gas price differentials and other factors.
The prices we receive for oil, natural gas and NGLs heavily influence our revenues, profitability, cash flow available for capital expenditures, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil, natural gas and NGL prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil, natural gas and NGLs have been volatile, and these markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. Declines in oil, natural gas or NGL prices not only reduce our revenues, but could also reduce the amount of oil, natural gas and NGLs we can produce economically and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reserves and our ability to comply with the leverage ratio covenant under our Credit Agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Financial Condition—Our success is dependent on the prices of oil and natural gas. Low oil and natural gas prices and the continued volatility in these prices may adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to meet our capital expenditure requirements and financial obligations” in the Annual Report.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, oil prices averaged $108.52 per Bbl, ranging from a low of $94.29 per Bbl in mid-April to a high of $122.11 per Bbl in early June, based upon the WTI oil futures contract price for the earliest delivery date. We realized a weighted average oil price of $111.06 per Bbl ($105.21 per Bbl including realized losses from oil derivatives) for our oil production for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $64.90 per Bbl ($56.13 per Bbl including realized losses from oil derivatives) for our oil production for the three months ended June 30, 2021. At July 26, 2022, the WTI oil futures contract for the earliest delivery date had decreased from the average price for the second quarter of 2022 of $108.52 per Bbl, settling at $94.98 per Bbl, which was still a significant increase as compared to $71.91 per Bbl at July 26, 2021.
Natural gas prices were also higher in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the second quarter of 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, natural gas prices averaged $7.50 per MMBtu, ranging from a high of $9.32 per MMBtu in early June to a low of $5.42 per MMBtu in late June, based upon the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures contract price for the earliest delivery date. We realized a weighted average natural gas price of $9.57 per Mcf ($8.51 per Mcf including realized losses from natural gas derivatives) for our natural gas production (including revenues attributable to NGLs) for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $4.46 per Mcf for our natural gas production (including revenues attributable to NGLs) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Certain volumes of our natural gas production are sold at prices established at the beginning of each month by the various markets where we sell our natural gas production, and certain volumes of our natural gas production are sold at daily market prices. NGL prices, and especially propane prices, were also strong in the second quarter of 2022, which further contributed to our second quarter weighted average realized natural gas price. At July 26, 2022, the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures contract price for the earliest delivery date had increased from the average price for the second quarter of 2022 of $7.50 per MMBtu, settling at $8.99 per MMBtu, which was also a significant increase as compared to $4.10 per MMBtu at July 26, 2021.
From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk associated with oil, natural gas and NGL prices. Even so, decisions as to whether, at what price and what production volumes to hedge are difficult and depend on market conditions and our forecast of future production and oil, natural gas and NGL prices, and we may not always employ the optimal hedging strategy. This, in turn, may affect the liquidity that can be accessed through the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement and through the capital markets. During the first six months of 2022, we incurred realized losses on our oil derivative contracts of approximately $52.4 million, primarily as a result of oil prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our oil costless collar contracts and above the strike price of certain of our oil basis swap contracts. We also incurred losses on our natural gas derivative contracts of approximately $31.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 as a result of natural gas prices that were above the ceiling prices of certain of our natural gas costless collar
39
contracts. At July 26, 2022, we have derivative contracts in place for approximately 5.4 million Bbl of our anticipated oil production for the third through fourth quarters of 2022, approximately 31.2 Bcf of our anticipated natural gas production for the third through fourth quarters of 2022 and 2.4 Bcf of our anticipated natural gas production for the first quarter of 2023.
The prices we receive for oil and natural gas production often reflect a discount to the relevant benchmark prices, such as the WTI oil price or the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price. The difference between the benchmark price and the price we receive is called a differential. At June 30, 2022, most of our oil production from the Delaware Basin was sold based on prices established in Midland, Texas, and a significant portion of our natural gas production from the Delaware Basin was sold based on Houston Ship Channel pricing, while the remainder of our Delaware Basin natural gas production was sold primarily based on prices established at the Waha hub in far West Texas.
The Midland-Cushing (Oklahoma) oil price differential has been highly volatile in recent years. At July 26, 2022, this oil price differential was positive at approximately +$1.60 per Bbl. At July 26, 2022, we had derivative contracts in place to mitigate our exposure to this Midland-Cushing (Oklahoma) oil price differential on a portion of our anticipated full year 2022 oil production.
Certain volumes of our Delaware Basin natural gas production are exposed to the Waha-Henry Hub basis differential, which has also been highly volatile in recent years. In early 2022, concerns about natural gas pipeline takeaway capacity out of the Delaware Basin, particularly beginning in the latter half of 2022 and into 2023, began to increase. As a result, the Waha basis differential began to widen, and, at July 26, 2022, this natural gas price differential was approximately ($0.80) per MMBtu. A significant portion of our Delaware Basin natural gas production, however, is sold at Houston Ship Channel pricing and is not exposed to Waha pricing. During 2021 and through the second quarter of 2022, we typically realized a premium to natural gas sold at the Waha hub despite higher transportation charges incurred to transport the natural gas to the Gulf Coast. At certain times, we may also sell a portion of our natural gas production into other markets to improve our realized natural gas pricing. Further, approximately 9% of our reported natural gas production for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was attributable to the Haynesville and Eagle Ford shale plays, which are not exposed to Waha pricing. In addition, as a two-stream reporter, most of our natural gas volumes in the Delaware Basin are processed for NGLs, resulting in a further reduction in the reported natural gas volumes exposed to Waha pricing.
At July 26, 2022, we had not experienced material pipeline-related interruptions to our oil, natural gas or NGL production. In certain recent periods, shortages of NGL fractionation capacity were experienced by certain operators in the Delaware Basin. Although we did not encounter such fractionation capacity problems, we can provide no assurances that such problems will not arise. If we do experience any interruptions with takeaway capacity or NGL fractionation, our oil and natural gas revenues, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. Should we experience future periods of negative pricing for natural gas as we have in previous periods, we may temporarily shut in certain high gas-oil ratio wells and take other actions to mitigate the impact on our realized natural gas prices and results. In addition, we have no derivative contracts in place to mitigate our exposure to these natural gas price differentials in 2022.
As a result of the recent increases in oil and natural gas prices, we have begun to experience inflation in the costs of certain oilfield services, including diesel, steel, labor, trucking, sand, personnel and completion costs, among others. Should oil and natural gas prices remain at their current levels or increase further, we expect to be subject to additional service cost inflation in future periods, which may increase our costs to drill, complete, equip and operate wells. When we revised our D/C/E capital expenditure budget as of July 26, 2022, we budgeted a 20% increase in oilfield service costs, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Should we experience service cost inflation above 20% during the remainder of 2022, we may be required to further increase our 2022 estimated capital expenditure budget. In addition, during the remainder of 2022, supply chain disruptions being experienced throughout the United States and global economy and in the oil and natural gas industry may limit our ability to procure the necessary products and services we need for drilling, completing and producing wells in a timely fashion, which could result in delays to our operations and could, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, should oil and natural gas prices remain at their current levels throughout the remainder of 2022, we expect to exhaust our federal or state net operating loss carryforwards and become subject to federal and state income taxes in future periods. At July 26, 2022, given our current projections, we expect to pay federal income taxes and state income taxes in New Mexico beginning in 2022, as reflected by our current income tax provision of $51.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Our oil and natural gas exploration, development, production, midstream and related operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Because these laws, rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted and new laws, rules and regulations are proposed or promulgated, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with the laws, rules and regulations to which we are, or will become, subject. For example, although such bills have not passed, in recent years, various bills have been introduced in the New Mexico legislature proposing to add a
40
surtax on natural gas processors and proposing to place a moratorium on, ban or otherwise restrict hydraulic fracturing, including prohibiting the injection of fresh water in such operations. In 2019, New Mexico’s governor signed an executive order declaring that New Mexico would support the goals of the Paris Agreement by joining the U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of governors committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. The stated objective of the executive order is to achieve a statewide reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 45% by 2030 as compared to 2005 levels. The executive order also requires New Mexico regulatory agencies to create an “enforceable regulatory framework” to ensure methane emission reductions. In 2021, the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division (the “NMOCD”) implemented rules regarding the reduction of natural gas waste and the control of emissions that, among other items, require upstream and midstream operators to reduce natural gas waste by a fixed amount each year and achieve a 98% natural gas capture rate by the end of 2026. The New Mexico Environment Department (the “NMED”) has proposed similar rules and regulations. These and other laws, rules and regulations, including any federal legislation, regulations or orders intended to limit or restrict oil and natural gas operations on federal lands, if enacted, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order instructing the Department of the Interior to pause new oil and natural gas leases on public lands pending completion of a comprehensive review and consideration of federal oil and natural gas permitting and leasing practices, which has lapsed at June 30, 2022. In 2019, 2020 and 2021, an environmental group filed three lawsuits in federal district courts in New Mexico and the District of Columbia challenging certain Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) lease sales, including lease sales in which we purchased leases in New Mexico. In 2021, ten states, led by the State of Louisiana, filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Louisiana against President Biden and various other federal government officials and agencies challenging an executive order directing the federal government to utilize certain calculations of the “social cost” of carbon and other greenhouse gases in its decision making. The BLM has, at times, indicated that the lease sale litigation and the social cost of carbon litigation may delay lease sales and the approval of drilling permits. The impact of federal actions and lawsuits related to the oil and natural gas industry remains unclear, and should other limitations or prohibitions be imposed or continue to be applied, our operations on federal lands could be adversely impacted. Such limitations or prohibitions would almost certainly impact our 2022 and future drilling and completion plans and could materially impact our production volumes, revenues, reserves, cash flows and availability under our Credit Agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Laws and Regulations” in the Annual Report.
We and San Mateo dispose of large volumes of produced water gathered from our and third parties’ drilling and production operations by injecting it into wells pursuant to permits issued to us by governmental authorities overseeing such disposal activities. State and federal regulatory agencies recently have focused on a possible connection between the operation of injection wells used for produced water disposal and the increased occurrence of seismic activity, also known as “induced seismicity.” This has resulted in stricter regulatory requirements in some jurisdictions relating to the location and operation of underground injection wells. In addition, a number of lawsuits have been filed in some states alleging that fluid injection or oil and natural gas extraction have caused damage to neighboring properties or otherwise violated state and federal rules regarding waste disposal. In response to these concerns, regulators in some states, including New Mexico and Texas, are seeking to impose additional requirements, including requirements regarding the permitting of salt water disposal wells or otherwise, to assess the relationship between seismicity and the use of such wells. For example, in 2021, the NMOCD implemented new rules establishing protocols in response to seismic events in New Mexico. Under these protocols, applications for salt water disposal well permits in certain areas of New Mexico with recent seismic activity require enhanced review prior to approval. In addition, the protocols require enhanced reporting and varying levels of curtailment of injection rates for salt water disposal wells, including potentially shutting in such wells, in the area of seismic events based on the magnitude, timing and proximity of the seismic event. The adoption of federal, state and local legislation and regulations intended to address induced seismicity in the areas in which we operate could restrict our drilling and production activities, as well as our ability to dispose of produced water gathered from such activities, and could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays, that could, in turn, materially impact our production volumes, revenues, reserves, cash flows and availability under our Credit Agreement. The adoption of such legislation and regulations could also decrease our and San Mateo’s revenues and result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions for San Mateo as well.
Certain segments of the investor community have recently expressed negative sentiment towards investing in the oil and natural gas industry. Equity returns in the sector prior to 2021 versus other industry sectors have led to lower oil and natural gas representation in certain key equity market indices and some investors, including certain pension funds, university endowments and family foundations, have stated policies to reduce or eliminate their investments in the oil and natural gas sector based on social and environmental considerations.
Like other oil and natural gas producing companies, our properties are subject to natural production declines. By their nature, our oil and natural gas wells will experience rapid initial production declines. We attempt to overcome these production declines by drilling to develop and identify additional reserves, by exploring for new sources of reserves and, at times, by acquisitions. During times of severe oil, natural gas and NGL price declines, however, drilling additional oil or natural gas

wells may not be economic, and we may find it necessary to reduce capital expenditures and curtail drilling operations in order to preserve liquidity. A significant reduction in capital expenditures and drilling activities could materially impact our production volumes, revenues, reserves, cash flows and the availability under our Credit Agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Financial Condition—Our exploration, development, exploitation and midstream projects require substantial capital expenditures that may exceed our cash flows from operations and potential borrowings, and we may be unable to obtain needed capital on satisfactory terms, which could adversely affect our future growth” in the Annual Report.
We strive to focus our efforts on increasing oil and natural gas reserves and production while controlling costs at a level that is appropriate for long-term operations. Our ability to find and develop sufficient quantities of oil and natural gas reserves at economical costs is critical to our long-term success. Future finding and development costs are subject to changes in the costs of acquiring, drilling and completing our prospects.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the sources and effects of our market risk since December 31, 2021, which are disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.
Commodity price exposure. We are exposed to market risk as the prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs fluctuate as a result of changes in supply and demand and other factors. To partially reduce price risk caused by these market fluctuations, we have entered into derivative financial instruments in the past and expect to enter into derivative financial instruments in the future to cover a significant portion of our anticipated future production.
We typically use costless (or zero-cost) collars, three-way collars and/or swap contracts to manage risks related to changes in oil, natural gas and NGL prices. Costless collars provide us with downside price protection through the purchase of a put option that is financed through the sale of a call option. Because the call option proceeds are used to offset the cost of the put option, these arrangements are initially “costless” to us. Three-way costless collars also provide us with downside price protection through the purchase of a put option, but they also allow us to participate in price upside through the purchase of a call option. The purchase of both the put option and call option are financed through the sale of a call option. Because the proceeds from the call option sale are used to offset the cost of the purchased put and call options, these arrangements are also initially “costless” to us. In the case of a costless collar, the put option or options and the call option have different fixed price components. In a swap contract, a floating price is exchanged for a fixed price over a specified period, providing downside price protection.
We record all derivative financial instruments at fair value. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is determined using purchase and sale information available for similarly traded securities. At June 30, 2022, The Bank of Nova Scotia, BMO Harris Financing (Bank of Montreal), PNC Bank, Royal Bank of Canada and Truist Bank (or affiliates thereof) were the counterparties for all of our derivative instruments. We have considered the credit standing of the counterparties in determining the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. See Note 7 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for a summary of our open derivative financial instruments. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
