The Company defines and reconciles adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in supporting tables at the conclusion of this press release.

Operational Results and Activity

Production totaled 2,048 MBoe (23.6 MBoepd, 22% oil, 32% NGLs and 46% natural gas) for the quarter.

Mid-Continent Assets in Oklahoma and Kansas

Production in the Mississippian totaled 1,719 MBoe (18.7 MBoepd, 12% oil) and 126 MBoe (1.4 MBoepd, 31% oil) in the Northwest STACK during the quarter. 

North Park Basin Assets in Colorado

Net production for North Park Basin totaled 203 MBoe (2.2 MBoepd, 100% oil) during the quarter.          

Building Sale

On August 31, 2020, the Company closed on the previously announced sale of its corporate headquarters building located in Oklahoma City, OK for net proceeds of approximately $35.4 million.

ORRI Acquisition

On September 10, 2020, the Company acquired all of the overriding royalty interests of SandRidge Mississippian Royalty Trust II for a gross purchase price of $5.25 million (net purchase price of $3.28 million, given the Company's prior 37.6% ownership of the Trust).

2020 Capital Expenditures and Operational Guidance

The Company reaffirms its 2020 capital expenditures and operational guidance previously published on May 18, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's total liquidity was $69.9 million, based on $11.2 million of cash, excluding restricted cash and $58.7 million available under its credit facility. The Company currently has $12.0 million drawn under its $75.0 million facility and $4.3 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Given the net proceeds from the third quarter sale of our corporate headquarters for $35.4 million as well as several initiatives from prior quarters expected to optimize free cash flow, including personnel and non-personnel cost reductions and entering into commodity derivative contracts for natural gas, we were able to alleviate prior conditions that gave rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
