Item 8.01. Other Events
As noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, we sold our properties in the San Juan Basin's Gallup oil play. In addition, we sold our natural gas-producing properties in the San Juan Basin in December 2017. As a result of these divestments, we no longer have operations in the San Juan Basin. In our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, we reported the results of operations and financial position of our San Juan Basin operations as discontinued operations.
In this filing, we have recast certain historical financial information originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, to reflect the reclassification of our San Juan Basin operations as discontinued operations. In addition, we have recast the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-18.
The following Items of the Form 10-K have been recast for the items described above, to the extent applicable, and are filed or furnished as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR
PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain matters contained in this report include forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions and other matters.
All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will exist or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various forms of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “potential,” “projects,” “scheduled,” “will” or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements regarding:
|
|
•
|
amounts and nature of future capital expenditures;
|
|
|
•
|
expansion and growth of our business and operations;
|
|
|
•
|
financial condition and liquidity;
|
|
|
•
|
estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves;
|
|
|
•
|
development drilling potential;
|
|
|
•
|
cash flow from operations or results of operations;
|
|
|
•
|
acquisitions or divestitures;
|
|
|
•
|
seasonality of our business; and
|
|
|
•
|
crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices and demand.
|
Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this report. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
|
|
•
|
availability of supplies (including the uncertainties inherent in assessing, estimating, acquiring and developing future oil and natural gas reserves), market demand, volatility of prices and the availability and cost of capital;
|
|
|
•
|
inflation, interest rates, fluctuation in foreign exchange and general economic conditions (including future disruptions and volatility in the global credit markets and the impact of these events on our customers and suppliers);
|
|
|
•
|
the strength and financial resources of our competitors;
|
|
|
•
|
development of alternative energy sources;
|
|
|
•
|
the impact of operational and development hazards;
|
|
|
•
|
costs of, changes in, or the results of laws, government regulations (including climate change regulation and/or potential additional regulation of drilling and completion of wells), environmental liabilities, litigation and rate proceedings;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in maintenance and construction costs;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the current geopolitical situation;
|
|
|
•
|
our exposure to the credit risk of our customers;
|
|
|
•
|
risks related to strategy and financing, including restrictions stemming from our debt agreements, future changes in our credit ratings and the availability and cost of credit;
|
|
|
•
|
risks associated with future weather conditions;
|
|
|
•
|
other factors described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; and
|
|
|
•
|
additional risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
|
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Given the uncertainties and risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation to and do not intend to update the above list or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
In addition to causing our actual results to differ, the factors listed above and referred to below may cause our intentions to change from those statements of intention set forth in this report. Such changes in our intentions may also cause our results to differ. We may change our intentions, at any time and without notice, based upon changes in such factors, our assumptions or otherwise.
Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, we caution that there are important factors, in addition to those listed above, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For a detailed discussion of those factors, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
