Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and nature of operations Organization and nature of operations
Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Granite Ridge” the “Company” or the “Successor”) is a Delaware corporation, initially formed in May 2022, whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company was created for the purpose of the Business Combination (as defined below), and following the Business Combination, for the purpose of purchasing non-operated oil and natural gas assets in multiple basins in North America and realizing profits through participation in oil and natural gas wells.
On October 24, 2022, the Business Combination closed and was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Grey Rock Energy Fund III (as defined below) was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Predecessor (as defined below). Unless otherwise indicated, for the periods prior to October 24, 2022, (i) the historical financial data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and (ii) the operating and other non-financial data, disclosed in “Part II – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (collectively the “Financial Statement Sections”) reflect the combined business and operations of the Funds (as defined below).
Business Combination
On October 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Granite Ridge and Executive Network Partnering Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ENPC”) consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ENPC, Granite Ridge, ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“ENPC Merger Sub”), GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“GREP Merger Sub”), and Granite Ridge Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as GREP Holdings, LLC (“GREP”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ENPC Merger Sub merged with and into ENPC (the “ENPC Merger”), with ENPC surviving the ENPC Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge and (ii) GREP Merger Sub merged with and into GREP (the “GREP Merger,” and together with the ENPC Merger, the “Mergers”), with GREP surviving the GREP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the “Business Combination,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).
Immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions, the net assets of Grey Rock Energy Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund I”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-A”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B”) and Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B Holdings”, and together with Fund II-A and Fund II-B, collectively, “Fund II”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-A”), Grey Rock Energy Partners Fund III-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B Holdings” and together with Fund III-A and Fund III-B, collectively, “Fund III” or “Predecessor”) were transferred (through various intermediary entities) to GREP (the “GREP Formation Transaction”). Fund I, Fund II and Fund III are collectively referred to herein as, the “Funds”.
At the special meeting of ENPC stockholders held in connection with the Business Combination, of the 41,400,000 shares of ENPC Class A common stock, public stockholders of 39,343,496 shares of ENPC Class A common stock exercised their rights to have those shares redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.07 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $396.1 million. The holders of membership interests in GREP (the “Existing GREP Members”) and their direct and indirect members were issued 130.0 million shares of Granite Ridge common stock at the closing. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, each public stockholder’s ENPC common stock and ENPC warrants were automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of Granite Ridge common stock and Granite Ridge warrants as a result of the Transactions. At the effective time of the Mergers, (i) 495,357 shares of ENPC Class F common stock were converted to 1,238,393 shares of ENPC Class A common stock (of which an aggregate of 220,348 shares were subsequently forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement) and the remaining shares of ENPC Class F common stock outstanding were automatically cancelled for no consideration (the “ENPC Class F Conversion”) (ii) all other remaining shares of ENPC Class A common stock automatically cancelled without any conversion, payment or distribution (the “Sponsor Share Cancellation”) and (iii) all shares of ENPC Class B common stock outstanding were
deemed transferred to ENPC and surrendered and forfeited for no consideration (the “ENPC Class B Contribution”). In January 2023, 220,348 of the 371,518 shares subject to vesting and forfeiture provisions were forfeited.
Following the ENPC Class F Conversion, the Sponsor Share Cancellation, the ENPC Class B Contribution and the separation of the securities offered in ENPC’s initial public offering, which consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of one ENPC warrant (“CAPSTM Separation”), each share of ENPC Class A common stock outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Granite Ridge common stock. Total aggregate investment by ENPC was $6.8 million, which amount represents total risk capital contributed by ENPC, including working capital loans that were forgiven.
Fund III, Fund I and Fund II were identified as entities under common control, in which all entities are ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the GREP Formation Transaction and therefore resulted in a change in reporting entity. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC") 805-50-45-5, for transactions between entities under common control, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.
Warrant Exchange
On October 24, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 10,349,975 common stock warrants. On June 22, 2023, the Company completed an offer to holders of its outstanding warrants which provided such holders the opportunity to receive 0.25 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by such holders (the “Offer”). This Offer coincided with a solicitation of consents from holders of the warrants to amend the warrant agreement governing such warrants to permit the Company to require that each warrant that remained outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock (together with the Offer, the “Warrant Exchange”). On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, no warrants remained outstanding. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Warrant Exchange.

Summary of significant accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of Consolidation
As it pertains to the periods prior to completion of the Business Combination, the financial statements have been presented on a combined historical basis due to the Funds' prior common ownership and control. Prior to the Business Combination, the financial statements include the accounts of the Funds, all of which were commonly owned and controlled. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
As it pertains to the period subsequent to completion of the Business Combination, the accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Company, and all other wholly owned subsidiaries created in connection with the Business Combination. References to the “Company” prior to October 24, 2022 refer to the combined business of the Funds and references after October 24, 2022 refer to the consolidated business of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to October 24, 2022 reflect Funds as limited partnerships, not as corporations. The primary financial impacts of the Transactions to the consolidated financial statements were (i) reclassification of partnership capital accounts to equity accounts reflective of a corporation and (ii) income tax effects. Since the Funds were identified as entities under common control, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. All intercompany transactions within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company operates in one operating segment, which is oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. All of our operations are conducted in the geographic area of the United States. The Company’s chief operating decision maker manages operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating operations and allocating resources.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. Estimating reserves is inherently uncertain, including the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.
The Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effect of regulations by governmental agencies, and assumptions governing future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and work over costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to the extent that these reserves are later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of expected oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion related to the oil and natural gas properties.
Additional significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of derivative financial instruments, fair value of equity investments, fair value of business combinations, asset retirement obligations, revenue receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' reported amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Prior Period Correction of an Immaterial Error
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company determined that the prior year consolidated financial statements had a misstatement caused by an error in determining the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties. Management concluded that the impact of this error on the prior year consolidated financial statements period is immaterial. However, given that the adjustment to correct the error in the current year consolidated financial statements would have a material impact on 2023, the Company has corrected the prior period consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in accordance with SEC guidance. The adjustment had no effect on the Company's net income, cash flows, total assets or total liabilities and stockholders' equity, and the information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K sets forth the effects of this correction on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
Due to transactions that were completed immediately prior to the Business Combination, the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties transferred to the Company was higher than initially recognized in 2022. As a result, the Company has corrected the deferred tax liability and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to properly reflect the increased tax basis upon the completion of the Business Combination. As shown below, the previously reported deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2022 has decreased and additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2022 has
increased. The following sets forth the effects of the correction on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022:
(in thousands)December 31, 2022
Deferred tax liability, previously reported$91,592 
Correction to deferred tax liability(41,843)
Deferred tax liability, reported$49,749 
(in thousands)December 31, 2022
Additional paid-in capital, previously reported$590,232 
Correction to additional paid-in capital41,843 
Additional paid-in capital, reported$632,075 
As a result of the change in the tax basis, the prior year standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows was corrected and increased by $30 million.
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash represents liquid cash and investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The Company places its cash with reputable financial institutions. At times, the balances deposited may exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and history of the institutions selected. The Company has not incurred any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $0.3 million of cash classified as restricted. This balance relates to a cash deposit for two standby letters of credit associated with oil and natural gas mining lease agreements. Restricted cash consists of cash that is stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Classification of restricted cash is based on the nature of the restrictions associated with the underlying assets.
Revenue Receivable
Revenue receivable is comprised of accrued oil and natural gas sales. The operators remit payment for production directly to the Company. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding revenue receivable balance at the date of non-performance. The Company monitors this exposure primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. Revenue receivables are generally unsecured and typically received from the operator one to three months after production. The Company had an allowance for expected credit losses of $0.2 million at December 31, 2023 and $0.2 million at January 1, 2023, which was based on a historical loss rate. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s bad debt expense and allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.
The Company considers forecasts of future economic conditions in the estimate of its expected credit losses, in particular whether there is an increase in the probability that the Company’s counterparties are unable to pay their obligations when due, and adjusts its allowance for expected credit losses, when necessary.
Advance to Operators
The Company participates in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells with other working interest partners. Due to the capital-intensive nature of oil and natural gas drilling activities, our partner operators may request advance payments from working interest partners for their share of the costs. The Company expects such advances to be applied by these operators against joint interest billings for its share of drilling operations within 90 days from when the advance is paid. Changes in advances to operators are presented as an investing outflow within capital expenditures for oil and gas properties on the statement of cash flows.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities, as further defined under ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas (“ASC 932”). Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory leases that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development leases and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves. If the Company determines that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. There were no exploratory wells capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.
Capitalized leasehold costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized drilling and development costs and integrated assets is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves. The Company recognized depletion expense of $160.2 million, $105.3 million and $94.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company aggregated certain proved properties for amortization and impairment purposes.
Costs of significant nonproducing properties, wells in the process of being drilled and completed and development projects are excluded from depletion until the related project is completed. The Company capitalizes interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company capitalized $1.0 million of interest costs. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no interest costs were capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment are charged to expense as incurred.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of Business (“ASU 2017-1”), with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, to be considered a business, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. See discussions of the Company’s oil and natural gas asset acquisitions and business combinations in Note 5. Proceeds from the sales of individual properties and the capitalized costs of individual properties sold or abandoned are credited and charged, respectively, to accumulated depletion. Generally, no gain or loss is recognized until the entire depletion base is sold. However, gain or loss is recognized from the sale of less than an entire depletion base if the disposition is significant enough to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the depletion base. See Note 5 for additional information on our divestitures. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, for instance when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair market value as determined by discounted future cash flows using a discount rate similar to that used by market participants, or comparable market value if available, is recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and risk-adjusted unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs and cash flows from integrated assets. The Company recorded proved property impairment of $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to its Haynesville properties. There were no proved property impairment indicators for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
Unproved oil and natural gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling and exploration plans, results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales and expiration of all or a portion of the projects. The Company did not recognize an impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 related to its unproved oil and natural gas properties.
Derivative Instruments- Commodity Derivatives
The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company nets the fair value of the derivative instruments by counterparty in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets when the right of offset exists. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.
Derivative Instruments- Common Stock Warrants
Prior to the Warrant Exchange, the Company accounted for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The warrants were required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants were recognized as a non-operating gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period during which the Company’s common stock was publicly traded, the fair value of the warrants was based on quoted prices in an active market. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion on fair value considerations.
On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, no warrants remained outstanding. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Warrant Exchange.
Equity Investments
In December 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain of its Permian Basin assets to Vital Energy, Inc. ("Vital Energy") for consideration of 561,752 shares of Vital Energy's common stock and 541,155 shares of Vital Energy's 2.0% cumulative mandatorily convertible preferred securities. See Note 5 for further discussion of the divestiture of assets.
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 321, "Investments - Equity Securities" (“ASC 321”) for its investment in the common and preferred stock of Vital Energy. ASC 321 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For the preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has not elected the measurement alternative in ASC 321 and instead will account for the preferred stock at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded through net income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, an unrealized gain of $0.5 million on the change in fair value of the common and preferred stock is included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410-20, "Asset Retirement Obligations" ("ASC 410-20"). ASC 410-20 requires entities to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s asset retirement obligation relates to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and natural gas properties. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas property asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Based on certain factors, including commodity prices and costs, the Company may revise its previous estimates of the liability, which would also increase or decrease the related oil and natural gas property asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss for the difference of the settled amount and recorded liability.
Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows and are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free rate. The Company uses unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor, costs of materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Due to the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of the Company’s leases, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s leases may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied.
Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined and when collectability is probable.
The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. Revenue is presented net of these costs within the consolidated statements of operations. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant.
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.
Non-operated Crude Oil and Natural Gas Revenues
The Company’s proportionate share of production from non-operated properties is generally marketed at the discretion of the operators. For non-operated properties, the Company receives a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of sales proceeds which is net of transportation and production tax costs incurred by the operator, if any. Such non-operated revenues are recognized at the net amount of proceeds to be received by the Company during the month in which production occurs and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Proceeds are generally received by the Company within one to three months after the month in which production occurs.
Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Revenues
Under certain arrangements, the Company has the right to take a volume of processed residue gas and/or natural gas liquids ("NGLs") in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream customer’s processing plant in lieu of receiving a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of its natural gas production. The Company currently takes certain processed gas volumes in kind in lieu of monetary settlement but does not currently take NGL volumes. When the Company elects to take volumes in kind, it pays third parties to transport the processed products it took in-kind to downstream delivery points, where it then sells to customers at prices applicable to those downstream markets. In such situations, revenues are recognized during the month in which control transfers to the customer at the delivery point and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Sales proceeds are generally received by the Company within one month after the month in which a sale has occurred. In these scenarios, gathering and processing costs and transportation expenses the Company incurs to transport the processed products to downstream customers are recorded in lease operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: oil sales and natural gas sales. Substantially all of the Company’s oil and natural gas sales come from five geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas), the Haynesville Basin (Texas/Louisiana), the Denver-Julesburg “DJ” Basin (Colorado), and the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota). The Company previously owned oil and natural gas assets in the SCOOP/STACK Basin in Oklahoma, which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2022. The following tables present the
disaggregation of the Company’s oil revenues and natural gas revenues by basin for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses represents field employees’ salaries, saltwater disposal, repairs and maintenance, expensed workovers and other operating expenses. Lease operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
Production and Ad Valorem Taxes
The Company incurs production taxes on the sale of its production. These taxes are reported on a gross basis. Production taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $24.9 million, $26.9 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
The Company incurs ad valorem tax on the value of its properties in certain states. Ad valorem taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $2.8 million, $3.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
Prior to the Business Combination, GREP and the associated activities held by the Funds were treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and were not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company became a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes, and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income taxes if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain. Additionally, the Company evaluates tax positions under a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement analysis before the positions are recognized for financial statement reporting. For further discussion, see Note 7.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements on an accelerated basis over the awards' vesting periods based on their grant date fair values. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation method to determine the fair value of certain performance stock units ("PSUs"), the Black-Scholes model for options issued at-the-money and a binomial lattice model for other stock options. The Company recognizes forfeitures on stock-based compensation awards as they occur.
Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Not Yet Adopted)
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions," ("ASU 2022-03") which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions such as the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2022-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," ("ASU 2023-07") which requires public entities, including public entities with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2023-07 will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," ("ASU 2023-09") which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on its disclosures.
Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Adopted)
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which replaced the “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Revenue receivables is the primary financial asset that is within the scope of the new guidance. A loss-rate method is applied to the receivables to estimate credit losses. The Company recognized a tax effected $0.1 million non-cash cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on its opening consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2023 to record an allowance for expected credit losses associated with the Company’s revenue receivables.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in connection with its oil and natural gas operations to provide an economic hedge of the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company reflects changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in its consolidated statements of operations as they occur.
Collar Option Contracts and Swaps
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of collar option contracts and swaps.
A collar option is established with the sale of a short call option (ceiling price) and the purchase of a long put option (floor price) set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.
When the settlement price is below the established floor price, the Company receives an amount from its counterparty equal to the difference between the settlement price and the floor price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the established ceiling price, the Company pays its counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the ceiling price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is between the established floor and the ceiling, no amounts are due to or from the counterparty.
A swap contract allows the Company to receive a fixed price and pay a floating market price to the counterparty for the hedged commodity.
The Company has master netting agreements on individual derivative instruments with certain counterparties and therefore certain amounts may be presented on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheets.

Common stock warrants
On October 24, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 10,349,975 common stock warrants. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of Granite Ridge’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The common stock warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and 461 common stock warrants were exercised as of December 31, 2023.
On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The fair value of the common stock warrants as of December 31, 2022 was a liability of $11.9 million. The Company recognized a loss of $5.7 million and a gain of $0.4 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively, from the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The warrants exchanged in the Offer were marked to fair value on the date of settlement, and the liability of $17.0 million and $0.7 million related to the exchanged common stock warrants was removed from the consolidated balance sheet in June 2023 and July 2023, respectively, and the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock was reflected in stockholders’ equity. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Warrant Exchange.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value measurements Fair value measurements
The Company has adopted and follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives$— $— $431 $431 
Revolving credit facilities — The carrying amounts of the revolving credit facilities approximate their fair values, as the applicable interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.
Other financial assets and liabilities — The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities, such as revenue receivable and accrued expenses due to sellers, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives — The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is estimated by management considering various factors, including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations and the time value of the underlying commitments. The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments is considered to be a Level 2 measurement. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, (iii) applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves, as well as other relevant economic measures.
Derivative instruments - common stock warrants The fair value of the Company’s common stock warrant liability was valued using the instrument’s publicly listed trading price, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.
Equity investments — The fair value of the Company’s investment in Vital Energy's common stock was valued using the instrument's publicly listed trading price, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Company's investment in Vital Energy's preferred stock is estimated by management considering various factors, including the publicly listed trading price of Vital Energy's common shares and the present value of expected dividends prior to the conversion of the preferred shares. The fair value of the investment in preferred stock is considered to be a Level 2 measurement. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
The Vital Energy common and preferred shares are subject to certain restrictions. Upon approval by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Vital Energy common stock eligible to vote, the Preferred Stock is to be converted into common shares. Prior to this stockholder approval, the common shares owned by the Company are not entitled to vote and bear a restricted legend to that effect. For each share of Preferred Stock being converted, the Company shall receive a number of common shares in aggregate equal to the conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is one share of common stock per share of Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is adjusted upon the occurrence of events such as Vital Energy's issuance of common stock as a dividend, the issuance of common stock warrants or similar rights to all the common stockholders, the distribution of shares of its capital stock to acquire its capital stock or other securities, or if Vital Energy makes a cash distribution, except if it elects to give a dividend to the Preferred Stock in lieu of an adjustment to the conversion price.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables summarize (i) the valuation of each of the Company’s financial instruments by required fair value hierarchy levels and (ii) the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company nets the fair value of commodity derivative instruments by counterparty in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Values – Non Recurring
Impairments of long-lived assets — The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties and their integrated assets, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, for instance when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties by depletion base. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the Company’s assets, it recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
The Company calculates the expected undiscounted future net cash flows of its long-lived assets and their integrated assets using management’s assumptions and expectations of (i) commodity prices, which are based on the NYMEX strip, (ii) pricing adjustments for differentials, (iii) production costs, (iv) capital expenditures, (v) production volumes, (vi) estimated proved reserves, and (vii) prevailing market rates of income and expenses from integrated assets.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s estimates of commodity prices for purposes of determining undiscounted future cash flows, which are based on the NYMEX strip, ranged from a 2024 price of $71.68 per barrel of oil decreasing to a 2028 price of $62.02 per barrel of oil. Natural gas prices ranged from a 2024 price of $2.67 per Mcf of natural gas increasing to a 2028 price of $3.80 per Mcf. Both oil and natural gas commodity prices for this purpose were held flat after 2028.
The Company calculates the estimated fair values of its long-lived assets and their integrated assets using a discounted future cash flow model. Fair value assumptions associated with the calculation of discounted future net cash flows include (i) market estimates of commodity prices, which are based on the NYMEX strip, (ii) pricing adjustments for differentials, (iii) production costs, (iv) capital expenditures, (v) production volumes, (vi) estimated proved reserves, (vii) prevailing market rates of income and expenses from integrated assets and (viii) discount rate. The expected future net cash flows are generally discounted using an annual rate of 10 percent to determine fair value for proved developed producing reserves and an appropriate market discount rate based on risk for other reserve categories. These are classified as Level 3 fair value assumptions.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, there were indicators that the carrying value of the Company's Haynesville properties may be impaired due to a decline in natural gas prices and negative reserve revisions for certain wells that had recently begun production as well as certain proved undeveloped wells. As a result of the impairment evaluation, where the income approach was utilized (discounted cash flow model) to assess fair value, the Company recorded impairment of $26.5 million. The Company did not have any impairment indicators during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. The following table presents the value of these assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the time impairment was recorded:

Asset retirement obligations — The fair value measurements of asset retirement obligations are measured on a nonrecurring basis when a well is drilled or acquired or when production equipment and facilities are installed or acquired using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of asset retirement obligations include estimates of the costs of plugging and abandoning oil and natural gas wells, removing production equipment and facilities and restoring the surface of the land as well as estimates of the economic lives of the oil and natural gas wells and future inflation rates.

Acquisitions and divestitures Acquisitions and divestitures
The Company follows ASU 2017-1 in evaluating whether acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations. The majority of the Company’s acquisitions during 2023, 2022 and 2021 qualified as asset acquisitions. Acquisitions that qualified as business combinations, as discussed below, were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.
2023 Acquisitions
During 2023, the Company closed on three separate acquisitions that were treated as business combinations. These included the following transactions:
Multi-Basin Acquisition - In September 2023, the Company closed on an acquisition comprised of proved developed producing oil and natural gas properties with approximately 281 net acres. The properties are located in the Permian, Eagle Ford and DJ basins. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $8.2 million in cash. Asset retirement obligations acquired were $0.2 million.
Haynesville Basin - In December 2023, the Company closed on an acquisition of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties in the Haynesville Basin for $22.2 million in cash. Asset retirement obligations acquired were $0.2 million.
Haynesville Basin - In December 2023, the Company closed on an acquisition of royalty interests in proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties in the Haynesville Basin for $1.4 million in cash.
The following table presents a summary of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in acquisitions that met the definition of a business combination:

All other acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2023 qualified as asset acquisitions. These included the following transactions:
Permian Basin - During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company closed on various acquisitions of unproved oil and natural gas properties for a total purchase price of $24.3 million in the Permian Basin. The Company also closed on various acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties for a total purchase price of $0.3 million in the Permian Basin.
DJ Basin - During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company closed on an acquisition of proved developed producing oil and natural gas properties in the DJ Basin. As consideration for the entire acquisition, the Company paid $16.6 million in cash, after closing adjustments, of which $1.9 million was held in escrow and paid during 2022. Asset retirement obligations acquired were $0.9 million.
Eagle Ford Basin - During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired proved oil and natural gas properties in the Eagle Ford Basin for $2.8 million.
Haynesville Basin - During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired various proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties in the Haynesville Basin for $2.9 million.
2023 Divestiture
In December 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain of its Permian Basin assets to Vital Energy in exchange for consideration of 561,752 shares of Vital Energy's common stock and 541,155 shares of Vital Energy's 2.0% cumulative mandatorily convertible preferred securities (the "Preferred Stock"). As the sale of oil and natural gas properties did not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate of the Permian Basin depletion aggregation, the Company accounted for the divestiture as a normal retirement with no gain or loss recorded on the sale.
2022 Acquisitions
Bakken Basin – During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired proved oil and natural gas properties in the Bakken Basin for $1.6 million.

Asset retirement obligations Asset retirement obligations
The Company recognizes the fair value of its asset retirement obligations related to the future costs of plugging, abandonment, and remediation of oil and natural gas producing properties at the times the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related oil and natural gas properties and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset. Our asset retirement obligations primarily represent the present value of the estimated amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our proved producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state laws.

Income taxes Income taxes
In 2022, the Company became the sole owner of GREP. GREP is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prior to the Business Combination, GREP and the associated activities held by the Funds were treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and were not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Any taxable income or loss generated prior to the Business Combination was passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members. As a result of the Business Combination, the Funds' net assets were transferred to the Company resulting in carryover tax basis of those assets. The Company is a C corporation and subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes. As described in Note 2, the Company corrected the previously reported deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2022.
The Components of income tax expense were as follows for the periods indicated:

The Company's effective tax rate was 23.2%, 4.7% and 0.0% for years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For 2023, the effective tax rate differs from the enacted statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of certain discrete items and state income taxes. For 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the enacted statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the allocations of profits and losses to ultimate members prior to the Business Combination and the impact of state income taxes.
The following reconciles the income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of operations with the income tax expense that would result from the application of the statutory federal tax rate:

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accumulated federal net operating loss carryforward of $61.1 million, none of which are expected to expire, and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $61.1 million in states that allow net operating loss carryforward, some of which begin to expire in 2042. Utilization of these net operating losses may be limited if there were to be an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2023, the Company does not believe any of its net operating losses were limited under these rules.
The Company is subject to the various taxing jurisdictions in the United States, including federal and certain state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no current tax years under audit. The Company remains subject to examination for federal income taxes for tax years 2020 through 2023 and state income taxes for tax years 2019 through 2023.
The Company has evaluated all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open and believes that the material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Therefore, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any interest or penalties during those respective periods related to unrecognized tax benefits.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was enacted into law and includes significant changes related to tax, climate change, energy and health care. The provisions within the IRA, among other things, include (i) a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on certain large corporations, (ii) a new nondeductible 1% excise tax on the value of certain stock that a company repurchases, and (iii) various tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives. Each of these provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Department of the Treasury is expected to continue to publish regulations relevant to many aspects of the IRA. In addition to no 2023 impact on income tax expense, the Company currently does not believe that there will be a material impact on its cash taxes or income tax expense for the 2024 tax year or future periods but will continue to monitor.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Debt Debt
The carrying value of the Company’s total debt was $110.0 million at December 31, 2023. The Company had no debt outstanding at December 31, 2022.
Granite Ridge Credit Agreement
On October 24, 2022, Granite Ridge entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among Granite Ridge, as borrower, Texas Capital Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of five years from the effective date thereof.
The Credit Agreement initially provided for aggregate elected commitments of $150.0 million, an initial borrowing base of $325.0 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $1.0 billion. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. On November 7, 2023, Granite Ridge entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment") which, among other things, decreased the borrowing base from $325.0 million to $275.0 million and increased the aggregate elected commitments from $150.0 million to $240.0 million. This borrowing base decrease was a result of the disposition of certain assets in the Permian Basin to Vital Energy.
The Company and the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between each scheduled redetermination. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with the oil and gas lending criteria of the lenders at the time of the relevant redetermination. The amount Granite Ridge is able to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Credit Agreement.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $110.0 million and $0.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement, resulting in availability of $129.7 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' assets.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. Prior to the First Amendment, SOFR loans accrued interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 250 to 350 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized, plus an additional 10, 15 or 20 basis point credit spread adjustment for a one, three or six month interest period, respectively. Base rate loans accrued interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the U.S. prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus, in the case of this clause (iii) an additional 10 basis point credit spread adjustment, plus, in the case of any base rate loan, an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.
As a result of the First Amendment, SOFR loans now bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 300 to 400 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized, plus an additional 10, 15 or 20 basis point credit spread adjustment for a one, three or six month interest period, respectively. Base rate loans now bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the U.S. prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus, in the case of this clause (iii) an additional 10 basis point credit spread adjustment, plus, in the case of any base rate loan, an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2023 was 8.71%.
The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused elected commitment amounts under its facility of 50 basis points. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of the following financial ratios:
(i)a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, and
(ii)a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
At December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants required by the Credit Agreement.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Equity Equity
As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to October 24, 2022 reflect Granite Ridge as a limited partnership, not a corporation.
On the date of the Transactions, the capital of the Funds consisted of general partner interests and limited partner interests. The general partner interest was a non-economic, management interest. The general partner was granted full and complete power and authority to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Funds and to take all such actions as it deemed necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purpose of the Funds. In connection with the Business Combination, the net assets of the Funds were transferred to GREP, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge. For additional information regarding the Business Combination, see Note 1.
Warrant Exchange - On June 22, 2023, the Company completed an Offer to holders of its outstanding warrants which provided such holders the opportunity to receive 0.25 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by such holders. This Offer coincided with a solicitation of consents from holders of the warrants to amend the warrant agreement to permit the Company to require that each warrant that remained outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, no warrants remained outstanding.
The warrants exchanged in the Offer were marked to fair value on the date of settlement, which was recorded in Gain (loss) on derivatives - common stock warrants on the consolidated statements of operations. Upon exchange, the liability of $17.0 million and $0.7 million related to the exchanged common stock warrants in June 2023 and July 2023, respectively, was removed from the consolidated balance sheet and the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock was reflected in stockholders’ equity.
The Company incurred $2.5 million of costs directly related to the Warrant Exchange, consisting primarily of professional, legal, printing, filing, regulatory, and other costs. The costs were recorded in General and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for year ended December 31, 2023.
Common stock dividends - The Company paid dividends of $58.6 million, or $0.44 per share, and $10.7 million, or $0.08 per share during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Share repurchase program - In December 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million. The stock repurchase program terminated on December 31, 2023.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company repurchased 5,651,707 and 25,920 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $36.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had repurchased a total of 5,677,627 shares since the inception of the program at an aggregate cost of $36.3 million.
Previous Capitalization
Prior to the Business Combination, the partners’ capital attributable to the Funds was divided into two classifications: (1) General Partner and (2) Limited Partners. On the date of the Business Combination, the General Partner and Limited
Partner’s capital was exchanged for 130 million shares of common stock. See Note 1 for additional information on these and other transactions related to the Business Combination.
Vesting Shares
As discussed in Note 1, 495,357 shares of Class F common stock of ENPC were converted into 1,238,393 shares of Class A common stock of ENPC, 371,518 of which became subject to certain vesting and forfeiture provisions upon their conversion to the Company’s common stock in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement (the “Vesting Shares”). Based on an assessment of the Vesting Shares, the Company considered ASC 480 and accounted for the Vesting Shares as a liability. The Company recorded a liability related to the Vesting Shares of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2022. In January 2023, the Company reversed this liability and the related additional paid-in capital when 151,170 of these shares vested. The remaining shares were forfeited.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Risk concentrations Risk concentrations
As a non-operator, 100% of the Company’s wells are operated by third-party operating partners. As a result, the Company is highly dependent on the success of these third-party operators. If they are not successful in the development, exploitation, production and exploration activities relating to the Company’s leasehold interests, or are unable or unwilling to perform, the Company’s financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected. These risks are heightened in a low commodity price environment, which may present significant challenges to these third-party operators. The Company’s third-party operators will make decisions in connection with their operations that may not be in the
Company’s best interests, and the Company may have little or no ability to exercise influence over the operational decisions of its third-party operators.
The following table sets forth the percentage of revenues attributable to third-party operating partners who have accounted for 10% or more of revenues attributable to the Company’s assets during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

No other operator accounted for 10% or more of revenue attributable to the Company’s assets on a combined basis in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021. The loss of any such operator could adversely affect revenues attributable to the Company’s assets in the short term.
In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.
Derivative counterparties - The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the creditworthiness of counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company believes that all of its derivative counterparties are currently acceptable credit risks. All of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments are covered by either International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDAs”) entered into with parties that are also lenders under the Company’s Credit Agreement or parties under the intercreditor agreement related to the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligation under the derivative instruments are secured pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and no additional collateral had been posted by the Company.

Stock incentive plan Stock Incentive Plan
In connection with the closing of the Transactions, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides the Company the ability to grant, among other award types, stock options, restricted stock awards, and PSUs to directors, officers, employees and consultants or advisors employed by or providing service to the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 6.5 million shares. The Company recognizes forfeitures on stock-based compensation awards as they occur.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company granted restricted stock awards, fully vested stock awards, stock options, and PSUs. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 5.7 million shares of common stock remaining available for future awards under the Plan. Shares issued as a result of awards granted under the Plan are generally new common shares.
The stock-based compensation expense and associated tax benefit were as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards - The Company has granted restricted stock awards to certain of its employees and consultants under the Plan. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. All restricted shares are legally issued and outstanding. If an employee terminates employment prior to the restriction lapse date, the awarded shares are forfeited and canceled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding. The holders of unvested restricted stock awards have voting rights and the right to receive dividends. The restricted stock awards generally vest ratably over a period of three years. The Company recognizes compensation expense utilizing graded vesting whereby compensation expense is recognized over the service period for each separately vesting tranche. A summary of the Company's restricted stock award activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented below.

PSUs - The Company has granted PSUs to certain of its officers under the Plan. The PSUs cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period, generally subject to continued employment through the performance period. The total number of shares eligible to be earned may range from zero to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, determined based upon achievement of certain “financial performance” and “market performance” criteria for the Company and individual performance criteria for the officers awarded PSUs. Financial performance is based on the Company’s financial performance at the end of the applicable performance period, while market performance is based on the relative standing of total shareholder return achieved by the Company compared to a predetermined group of peer companies at the end of the applicable performance period. Individual performance criteria is based on the officers’ performance relative to individual performance goals at the end of the performance period. The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation method to
determine the fair value of the PSUs. A summary of the Company's PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented below.

The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant. For stock options granted at-the-money (those with an exercise price of $5.02), grant date fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. As these options represent plain vanilla options and the Company did not have historical exercise detail, the expected term for these options was estimated using the simplified method allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14.D.2, which is the average of the weighted average vesting term and time to expiration as of the grant date. For stock options granted with an exercise price of $9.22, grant date fair value was estimated using a lattice-based option valuation model that incorporated a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities were based on historical volatilities of the Company's stock and other factors. The expected term was derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average fair value of stock options on the date of the grant during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.82 per share. The weighted average remaining terms on the outstanding options and the exercisable options was 9.3 years. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per share Earnings Per Share
The Company uses the two-class method of calculating earnings per share because certain of the Company’s unvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities.
The Company’s basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as (i) net income (loss) as reported, (ii) less participating basic earnings (iii) divided by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. The Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as (i) basic earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders, (ii) plus reallocation of participating earnings (iii) divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.
The following table presents the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

(a) Unvested restricted stock awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common equity holders of the Company. Participating earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock awards do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so.
Prior to the Warrant Exchange, the warrants were out-of-the-money and were not included in the computation of the diluted earnings per share. As a result of the Warrant Exchange, no warrants remained outstanding at December 31, 2023. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2022 included certain Vesting Shares, as defined in Note 9. Diluted net earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 excluded 10,349,975 common stock warrants outstanding. There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
As it pertains to the periods prior to completion of the Business Combination, the financial statements have been presented on a combined historical basis due to the Funds' prior common ownership and control. Prior to the Business Combination, the financial statements include the accounts of the Funds, all of which were commonly owned and controlled. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
As it pertains to the period subsequent to completion of the Business Combination, the accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Company, and all other wholly owned subsidiaries created in connection with the Business Combination. References to the “Company” prior to October 24, 2022 refer to the combined business of the Funds and references after October 24, 2022 refer to the consolidated business of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to October 24, 2022 reflect Funds as limited partnerships, not as corporations. The primary financial impacts of the Transactions to the consolidated financial statements were (i) reclassification of partnership capital accounts to equity accounts reflective of a corporation and (ii) income tax effects. Since the Funds were identified as entities under common control, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. All intercompany transactions within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company operates in one operating segment, which is oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. All of our operations are conducted in the geographic area of the United States. The Company’s chief operating decision maker manages operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating operations and allocating resources.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. Estimating reserves is inherently uncertain, including the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.
The Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effect of regulations by governmental agencies, and assumptions governing future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and work over costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to the extent that these reserves are later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of expected oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion related to the oil and natural gas properties.
Additional significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of derivative financial instruments, fair value of equity investments, fair value of business combinations, asset retirement obligations, revenue receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' reported amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Prior Period Correction of an Immaterial Error
Prior Period Correction of an Immaterial Error
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company determined that the prior year consolidated financial statements had a misstatement caused by an error in determining the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties. Management concluded that the impact of this error on the prior year consolidated financial statements period is immaterial. However, given that the adjustment to correct the error in the current year consolidated financial statements would have a material impact on 2023, the Company has corrected the prior period consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in accordance with SEC guidance. The adjustment had no effect on the Company's net income, cash flows, total assets or total liabilities and stockholders' equity, and the information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K sets forth the effects of this correction on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
Due to transactions that were completed immediately prior to the Business Combination, the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties transferred to the Company was higher than initially recognized in 2022. As a result, the Company has corrected the deferred tax liability and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to properly reflect the increased tax basis upon the completion of the Business Combination. As shown below, the previously reported deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2022 has decreased and additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2022 has
increased.
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash represents liquid cash and investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The Company places its cash with reputable financial institutions. At times, the balances deposited may exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and history of the institutions selected. The Company has not incurred any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $0.3 million of cash classified as restricted. This balance relates to a cash deposit for two standby letters of credit associated with oil and natural gas mining lease agreements. Restricted cash consists of cash that is stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Classification of restricted cash is based on the nature of the restrictions associated with the underlying assets.
Revenue Receivable
Revenue Receivable
Revenue receivable is comprised of accrued oil and natural gas sales. The operators remit payment for production directly to the Company. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding revenue receivable balance at the date of non-performance. The Company monitors this exposure primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. Revenue receivables are generally unsecured and typically received from the operator one to three months after production. The Company had an allowance for expected credit losses of $0.2 million at December 31, 2023 and $0.2 million at January 1, 2023, which was based on a historical loss rate. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s bad debt expense and allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.
The Company considers forecasts of future economic conditions in the estimate of its expected credit losses, in particular whether there is an increase in the probability that the Company’s counterparties are unable to pay their obligations when due, and adjusts its allowance for expected credit losses, when necessary.
Advance to Operators
Advance to Operators
The Company participates in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells with other working interest partners. Due to the capital-intensive nature of oil and natural gas drilling activities, our partner operators may request advance payments from working interest partners for their share of the costs. The Company expects such advances to be applied by these operators against joint interest billings for its share of drilling operations within 90 days from when the advance is paid. Changes in advances to operators are presented as an investing outflow within capital expenditures for oil and gas properties on the statement of cash flows.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities, as further defined under ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas (“ASC 932”). Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory leases that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development leases and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves. If the Company determines that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. There were no exploratory wells capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.
Capitalized leasehold costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized drilling and development costs and integrated assets is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves. The Company recognized depletion expense of $160.2 million, $105.3 million and $94.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company aggregated certain proved properties for amortization and impairment purposes.
Costs of significant nonproducing properties, wells in the process of being drilled and completed and development projects are excluded from depletion until the related project is completed. The Company capitalizes interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company capitalized $1.0 million of interest costs. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no interest costs were capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment are charged to expense as incurred.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of Business (“ASU 2017-1”), with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, to be considered a business, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. See discussions of the Company’s oil and natural gas asset acquisitions and business combinations in Note 5. Proceeds from the sales of individual properties and the capitalized costs of individual properties sold or abandoned are credited and charged, respectively, to accumulated depletion. Generally, no gain or loss is recognized until the entire depletion base is sold. However, gain or loss is recognized from the sale of less than an entire depletion base if the disposition is significant enough to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the depletion base. See Note 5 for additional information on our divestitures. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, for instance when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair market value as determined by discounted future cash flows using a discount rate similar to that used by market participants, or comparable market value if available, is recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and risk-adjusted unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs and cash flows from integrated assets. The Company recorded proved property impairment of $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to its Haynesville properties. There were no proved property impairment indicators for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
Unproved oil and natural gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling and exploration plans, results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales and expiration of all or a portion of the projects. The Company did not recognize an impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 related to its unproved oil and natural gas properties.
Derivative Instruments - Commodity Derivatives
Derivative Instruments- Commodity Derivatives
The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company nets the fair value of the derivative instruments by counterparty in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets when the right of offset exists. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.
Derivative Instruments - Common Stock Warrants
Derivative Instruments- Common Stock Warrants
Prior to the Warrant Exchange, the Company accounted for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The warrants were required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants were recognized as a non-operating gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period during which the Company’s common stock was publicly traded, the fair value of the warrants was based on quoted prices in an active market. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion on fair value considerations.
On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, no warrants remained outstanding. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Warrant Exchange.
Equity Investments
Equity Investments
In December 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain of its Permian Basin assets to Vital Energy, Inc. ("Vital Energy") for consideration of 561,752 shares of Vital Energy's common stock and 541,155 shares of Vital Energy's 2.0% cumulative mandatorily convertible preferred securities. See Note 5 for further discussion of the divestiture of assets.
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 321, "Investments - Equity Securities" (“ASC 321”) for its investment in the common and preferred stock of Vital Energy. ASC 321 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For the preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has not elected the measurement alternative in ASC 321 and instead will account for the preferred stock at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded through net income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, an unrealized gain of $0.5 million on the change in fair value of the common and preferred stock is included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410-20, "Asset Retirement Obligations" ("ASC 410-20"). ASC 410-20 requires entities to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s asset retirement obligation relates to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and natural gas properties. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas property asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Based on certain factors, including commodity prices and costs, the Company may revise its previous estimates of the liability, which would also increase or decrease the related oil and natural gas property asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss for the difference of the settled amount and recorded liability.
Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows and are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free rate. The Company uses unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor, costs of materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Due to the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of the Company’s leases, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s leases may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied.
Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined and when collectability is probable.
The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. Revenue is presented net of these costs within the consolidated statements of operations. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant.
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.
Non-operated Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
Non-operated Crude Oil and Natural Gas Revenues
The Company’s proportionate share of production from non-operated properties is generally marketed at the discretion of the operators. For non-operated properties, the Company receives a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of sales proceeds which is net of transportation and production tax costs incurred by the operator, if any. Such non-operated revenues are recognized at the net amount of proceeds to be received by the Company during the month in which production occurs and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Proceeds are generally received by the Company within one to three months after the month in which production occurs.
Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Revenues
Under certain arrangements, the Company has the right to take a volume of processed residue gas and/or natural gas liquids ("NGLs") in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream customer’s processing plant in lieu of receiving a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of its natural gas production. The Company currently takes certain processed gas volumes in kind in lieu of monetary settlement but does not currently take NGL volumes. When the Company elects to take volumes in kind, it pays third parties to transport the processed products it took in-kind to downstream delivery points, where it then sells to customers at prices applicable to those downstream markets. In such situations, revenues are recognized during the month in which control transfers to the customer at the delivery point and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Sales proceeds are generally received by the Company within one month after the month in which a sale has occurred. In these scenarios, gathering and processing costs and transportation expenses the Company incurs to transport the processed products to downstream customers are recorded in lease operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: oil sales and natural gas sales. Substantially all of the Company’s oil and natural gas sales come from five geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas), the Haynesville Basin (Texas/Louisiana), the Denver-Julesburg “DJ” Basin (Colorado), and the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota). The Company previously owned oil and natural gas assets in the SCOOP/STACK Basin in Oklahoma, which were sold during the year ended December 31, 2022. The following tables present the
disaggregation of the Company’s oil revenues and natural gas revenues by basin for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Lease Operating Expenses
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses represents field employees’ salaries, saltwater disposal, repairs and maintenance, expensed workovers and other operating expenses. Lease operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
Production and Ad Valorem Taxes
Production and Ad Valorem Taxes
The Company incurs production taxes on the sale of its production. These taxes are reported on a gross basis. Production taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $24.9 million, $26.9 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
The Company incurs ad valorem tax on the value of its properties in certain states. Ad valorem taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $2.8 million, $3.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Prior to the Business Combination, GREP and the associated activities held by the Funds were treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and were not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company became a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes, and accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income taxes if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain. Additionally, the Company evaluates tax positions under a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement analysis before the positions are recognized for financial statement reporting. For further discussion, see Note 7.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements on an accelerated basis over the awards' vesting periods based on their grant date fair values. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation method to determine the fair value of certain performance stock units ("PSUs"), the Black-Scholes model for options issued at-the-money and a binomial lattice model for other stock options. The Company recognizes forfeitures on stock-based compensation awards as they occur.
Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Not Yet Adopted)
Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Not Yet Adopted)
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions," ("ASU 2022-03") which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions such as the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2022-03 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," ("ASU 2023-07") which requires public entities, including public entities with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2023-07 will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," ("ASU 2023-09") which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on its disclosures.
Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Adopted)
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which replaced the “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Revenue receivables is the primary financial asset that is within the scope of the new guidance. A loss-rate method is applied to the receivables to estimate credit losses. The Company recognized a tax effected $0.1 million non-cash cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on its opening consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2023 to record an allowance for expected credit losses associated with the Company’s revenue receivables.
