10.Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims, legal actions, contract negotiations and disputes. We provide for losses, if any, in the period in which they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, there are currently no such matters outstanding that would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Delivery Commitment

We have an agreement with an unaffiliated water disposal company to dispose of a minimum volume of produced water. As of September 30, 2024, the remaining term of this commitment was 5.7 years with a remaining minimum commitment of $21.7 million, undiscounted.

Purchase Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into short-term purchase obligations for products and services, primarily related to purchases of pipe, pumps and other components. As of September 30, 2024, we had purchase obligations and commitments of approximately $4.6 million due in the next twelve months.

Environmental

We are also subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.8 million of expense, respectively, related to environmental matters that were recorded in “Direct Operating Costs” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the expense related to environmental matters was $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we accrued insurance proceeds and third-party receivables of $7.0 million, of which $5.4 million are included in “Other Receivables” and $1.6 million are included in “Other Assets.” As of December 31, 2023, we accrued insurance proceeds and third-party receivables of $5.7 million, of which $4.1 million are included in “Other Receivables” and $1.6 million are included in “Other Assets.” We believe these proceeds are probable to collect and are reasonably estimable. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
