Note 13—Transactions with Related Parties
Riverstone Investment Group LLC (“Riverstone”), NGP Energy Capital (“NGP”), and Pearl Energy Investments (“Pearl”) and related affiliates of each entity each beneficially own more than 10% equity interest in the Company. Certain members of OpCo’s management owned profit interests at CEP III Holdings, LLC and its affiliates (“Colgate Holdings”) until December 2022. Due to Riverstone, NGP, and Pearl’s beneficial ownership and NGP, Pearl and OpCo’s management’s previously held interest in Colgate Holdings, these entities are considered related parties to the Company.
The Company has the following agreements in place that represent related party transactions. The Company believes that the terms of these arrangements are no less favorable to either party than those held with unaffiliated parties.
(i) A marketing agreement with Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC (“Lucid”), who was an affiliate of Riverstone until the sale of Riverstone’s investment in Lucid in July 2022.
(ii) A vendor arrangement with Streamline Innovations Inc (“Streamline”) who was an affiliate of Riverstone beginning in the second quarter of 2022 and an affiliate of Pearl.
(iii) A joint operating agreement with Maple Energy Holdings, LLC (“Maple”) who is an affiliate of Riverstone. On December 23, 2022, the Company sold all of its working interest ownership in producing properties operated by Maple for an unadjusted sales price of $60 million. As a result of such sale, there no longer remains a related party relationship with Maple as of December 31, 2022.
(iv) A vendor arrangement with LM Energy Partners who was an affiliate of Colgate Holdings until the sale of Colgate Holdings’ investment in LM Energy Partners in December 2022. As a result of such sale, there no longer remains a related party relationship with LM Energy Partners as of December 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes the costs incurred and revenues recognized from such arrangements during the periods they were considered related parties, as discussed above, as included in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheet for the periods indicated, as well as the related net receivables and payables outstanding as of the balance sheet dates:
