Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market risk as the prices of our commodities are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in supply and demand. To reduce our exposure to changes in the prices of our commodities, we have entered into, and may in the future enter into, additional commodity price risk management arrangements for a portion of our oil and natural gas production. The agreements that we have entered into generally have the effect of providing us with a fixed price for a portion of our expected future oil and natural gas production over a fixed period of time. Our commodity price risk management arrangements are recorded at fair value and thus changes to the future commodity prices will have an impact on our earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, a 10% increase in average commodity prices would have decreased the fair value of our collar option and swap commodity derivatives by $22.8 million. We may incur significant unrealized losses in the future from our use of derivative financial instruments to the extent market prices increase and our derivatives contracts remain in place.
We generally use derivatives to economically hedge a portion of our anticipated future production. Any payments due to counterparties under our derivative contracts are funded by proceeds received from the sale of our production. Production receipts, however, lag payments to the counterparties. Any interim cash needs are funded by cash from operations or borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2026, our exposure to interest rate changes related primarily to the borrowings under the Credit Agreement as the 2029 Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate. The interest we pay on these borrowings is set periodically based upon market rates. We had total indebtedness of $125.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2026. The impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on this amount of debt would result in increased annual interest expense of approximately $1.3 million.
We may utilize interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to existing debt issues. Interest rate derivatives are used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio. We had no outstanding interest rate derivative contracts at June 30, 2026.
