Year End 2020 Estimated Proved Reserves

Proved reserves decreased from 89.9 MMBoe at December 31, 2019 to 36.9 MMBoe at December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of downward revisions of 45.0 MMBoe associated with the decrease in year-end SEC commodity prices for oil and natural gas consisting of (27.8 MMBoe from removing PUDs, and 17.3 MMBoe from remaining proved reserves). The Company also recorded 2020 production totaling 8.7 MMBoe and a decrease of 9.0 MMBoe attributable to well shut-ins, sales and other revisions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting 2020 commodity price contraction. These reductions were partially offset by an 8.6 MMBoe increase associated with reduction in expenses and other commercial improvements, and purchases of 1.1 MMBoe of proved reserves.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of December 31, 2020, the Company's total liquidity was $32.1 million, based on $22.1 million of cash, excluding restricted cash and $10.0 million available under its credit facility.
