Item 1. BUSINESS.
PRC Williston LLC (the “Company” or “PRC Williston”) is a subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“Magnum Hunter” or “Parent”). Magnum Hunter is the sole member of the Company; however, the Company has granted a 12.5% net profits interest to certain third parties. The net profits interest is functionally equivalent to a nonvoting class of membership interest in that it allows participation in any future distributions in respect of the equity interests of the members of the Company.
Magnum Hunter is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration for and the exploitation, acquisition, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids resources in the United States. Magnum Hunter is active in what it believes to be three of the most prolific unconventional shale resource plays in the United States, specifically, the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia and Ohio; the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia; and the Williston Basin/Bakken Shale in North Dakota. Magnum Hunter’s core oil and natural gas reserves and operations are primarily concentrated in West Virginia, Ohio and North Dakota.
On December 30, 2013, the Company, together with an affiliate, closed on the sale of all of their oil and gas assets to Enduro Operating, LLC for a total purchase price of approximately $44.1 million in cash, after initial purchase price adjustments, of which $21.9 was attributed to the Company, such proceeds being allocated according to Magnum Hunter's working interest in the assets sold. The effective date of the sale was September 1, 2013. Prior to the sale, the Company was engaged in secondary enhanced oil recovery projects in the United States, and all of its properties were non-operated properties in the Williston Basin. For information regarding the Company’s oil and gas reserves, See “Note 7 - Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures.”
The following table contains certain information on our well drilled in 2013:
The following table sets forth our estimated proved reserves at the end of each of the past three years:
_______________
(1)
No proved reserves existed at December 31, 2013 due to the sale of our oil and gas properties.
(2)
The estimates of reserves in the table above conform to the guidelines of the SEC. Estimated recoverable proved reserves have been determined without regard to any economic impact that may result from our financial derivative activities. These calculations were prepared using standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The reserve information shown is estimated. The certainty of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data, and the precision of the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. The estimates of reserves, future cash flows and present value are based on various assumptions, and are inherently imprecise. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.
(3)
We converted natural gas to oil equivalent at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil.
(4) Represents the present value, discounted at 10% per annum, or PV-10, of estimated future cash flows of our estimated proved reserves. Due to the non-taxable nature of the Company, PV-10 and Standardized Measure of Oil & Gas Quantities (SMOG) are equivalent. The estimated future cash flows were determined based on proved reserve quantities and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and produced based on prevailing economic conditions. With respect to the 2013 PV-10 value in the table above, the estimated future production is priced based on the 12-month un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the period January through December 2013, using $96.78 per Bbl and $3.67 per MMBtu and adjusted by lease for transportation fees and regional price differentials. Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and natural gas companies. See “Non-GAAP Measures; Reconciliations” below.
The following table summarizes the changes in our proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2013:
SEC Rules Regarding Reserves Reporting
In December 2008, the SEC adopted revisions to its rules designed to modernize oil and gas company reserves reporting requirements. The most significant amendments to the requirements included the following:
•
Commodity Prices: Economic producibility of reserves and discounted cash flows are now based on a 12-month average commodity price unless contractual arrangements designate the price to be used.
•
Disclosure of Unproved Reserves: Probable and possible reserves may be disclosed separately on a voluntary basis.
•
Proved Undeveloped Reserve Guidelines: Reserves may be classified as proved undeveloped if there is a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered and they are scheduled to be drilled within the next five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.
•
Reserves Estimation Using New Technologies: Reserves may be estimated through the use of reliable technology in addition to flow tests and production history.
•
Reserves Personnel and Estimation Process: Additional disclosure is required regarding the qualifications of the chief technical person who oversees the reserves estimation process. We are also required to provide a general discussion of our internal controls used to assure the objectivity of the reserves estimate.
•
Non-Traditional Resources: The definition of oil and gas producing activities has expanded and focuses on the marketable product rather than the method of extraction.
Reserve Estimation
Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. ("CG&A"), evaluated our oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The technical persons responsible for preparing our proved reserves estimates meet the requirements with regard to qualifications, independence, objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. CG&A does not own an interest in any of our properties and is not employed by us on a contingent basis.
We maintain an internal staff of petroleum engineers and geoscience professionals who work closely with CG&A to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of the data used to calculate our proved oil and gas reserves. Our internal technical team members meet with CG&A periodically throughout the year to discuss the assumptions and methods used in the proved reserve estimation process. We provide historical information to CG&A for our properties such as ownership interest; oil and gas production; well test data; commodity prices; and operating and development costs. The preparation of our proved reserve estimates is completed in accordance with our internal control procedures, which include the verification of input data used by CG&A, as well as extensive management review and approval. All of our reserve estimates are reviewed and approved by our vice president of reservoir engineering. Magnum Hunter's vice president of reservoir engineering holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from Ohio State University with more than 30 years of experience, was a member of the University of Texas External Advisory Committee for Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering and has served in various officer and board of director capacities for the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Reserve estimates for our division is also reviewed and approved by the president of that division.
The technologies used in the estimation of our proved reserves are commonly employed in the oil and gas industry and include seismic and micro-seismic operations, reservoir simulation modeling, analyzing well performance data and geological and geophysical mapping.
Drilling Results
We drilled one well during the last three years in which we owned 49.8% interests in prior to the sale of our oil & gas properties. All of our drilling activities were conducted on a contract basis by independent drilling contractors.
Oil and Gas Production, Prices and Costs

On December 16, 2013, Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP (“Drawbridge”) and Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC f/k/a D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Fortress”) (together, the “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Company and the Plaintiffs entered into Participation Agreements in February 2007 in connection with the Plaintiffs extending credit to the Company pursuant to a credit agreement entitling the Plaintiffs to a 12.5% collective interest in any distributions in respect of the equity interests of the members of the Company. Plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to compensation for 12.5% of alleged past distributions on equity from the Company to Magnum Hunter and 12.5% of any transfers of funds to Magnum Hunter from the proceeds of the December 30, 2013 sale of the Company’s assets. On December 23, 2013, the Chancery Court entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Company from transferring, assigning, removing, distributing or otherwise displacing to Magnum Hunter, Magnum Hunter’s creditors, or any other person or entity, $5 million of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the sale of its assets. The Court also granted Plaintiffs’ motion for expedited proceedings, ordering expedited discovery and a hearing within 90 days on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction effectively seeks to extend the relief granted by the temporary restraining order until after a full trial on the merits. A hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is scheduled to occur on March 18, 2014. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Results of Operations
Twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
General and administrative expense. General and administrative ("G&A") expense increased 38% to $1.7 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, from $1.2 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of charges for shared services with Parent.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased 8% to $1.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, from $2.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of decreased interest rates.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations. Oil and gas production for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 decreased 11% to 98,007 Boe from 109,570 Boe in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily related to natural production declines and well downtime for maintenance and repair of wells. Oil and gas sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 decreased 5% to $7.2 million from $7.6 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, of which $0.8 million is the result of the decease in volume which is partially offset by $0.4 million increase in price. LOE increased 27% to $5.4 million from $4.3 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in LOE is primarily the result of higher maintenance costs. Exploration decreased from $10.5 million to $19,000 due to $10.5 million in non-producing impairments being booked in December 2012. An impairment charge of $1.2 million on certain proved properties was recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $2.3 million in impairments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.
Twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
General and administrative expense. General and administrative ("G&A") expense decreased to $1.2 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 from $2.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of charges for shared services with parent.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations. Oil and gas production for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 decreased 6% to 109,570 Boe from 116,312 Boe in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily related to natural production declines. Oil and gas sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 decreased 13% to $7.6 million from $8.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, of which $0.5 million is the result of the decease in volume and $0.6 million decrease in price. LOE decreased 6% to $4.3 million from $4.5 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in LOE is primarily the result of higher maintenance costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Exploration increased to $10.5 million due to non-producing impairments being booked in December 2012. No such impairments were booked in December 2011. An impairment charge of $2.3 million on certain proved properties was recognized as compared to no such impairments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash is held by Magnum Hunter. When the Company receives revenue, the cash is swept to Magnum Hunter's bank account and is applied against the accounts payable due to affiliate balance. $5 million is being held as restricted cash in connection with the Drawbridge and Fortress Lawsuit. See "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings".
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, our primary sources of cash were cash flows from investing activities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
PRC Williston, LLC (the “Company" or “PRC Williston”) is a 87.5% - owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, operating directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries (“Magnum Hunter”, or “Parent”), a Houston, Texas based independent exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition and development of producing properties and undeveloped acreage, the production of oil and natural gas, and certain midstream and oil field service activities in the United States ("U.S."). PRC Williston is engaged in secondary enhanced oil recovery projects in the U.S., and all of its properties are non-operated in the Williston Basin.
The Company is a limited liability company (“LLC”). As an LLC, the amount of loss at risk for each individual member is limited to the amount of capital contributed to the LLC, and unless otherwise noted, the individual member’s liability for indebtedness of an LLC is limited to the member’s actual capital contribution. Magnum Hunter is the sole member of the Company; however, the Company has granted a 12.5% net profits interest. The net profits interest is functionally equivalent to a nonvoting class of membership interest in that it allows participation in any future distributions in respect of the equity interests of the members of the Company.
NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates are required for proved oil and gas reserves which, as described below under Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves, may have a material impact on the carrying value of oil and gas property.
Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
Certain balances in the financial statements and disclosures in the footnotes have been revised as a result of the sale of all of the oil and gas assets of PRC Williston, LLC on December 30, 2013. The operating results of PRC Williston, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. See "Note 3 - Divestitures and Discontinued Operations".
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to Parent approximate fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Oil and Gas Properties
Capitalized Costs
Our oil and gas properties consisted of the following:
________________________________
(1) No capitalized costs exist at December 31, 2013 due to the sale of the oil and gas properties of PRC Williston, LLC.
We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties and to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether the wells have proved reserves. If we determine that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. There were no costs capitalized for exploratory wells pending the determination of proved reserves at either December 31, 2013 or 2012. Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic studies and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are charged to expense as incurred. We capitalize interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. No interest was capitalized during the periods presented.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
Capitalized amounts attributable to proved oil and gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method over proved reserves using the unit conversion ratio of six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of oil and the ratio of forty-two Gal of natural gas liquids to one Bbl of oil. Well costs and related equipment are depleted over proved developed reserves, and leasehold costs are depleted over total proved reserves. Depreciation and depletion expense from continuing operations for oil and gas producing property and related equipment was $0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.
Capitalized costs related to proved oil and gas properties, including wells and related equipment and facilities, are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs related to proved properties, then we recognize an impairment charge in income from operations equal to the difference between the net capitalized costs related to proved properties and their estimated fair values based on the present value of the related future net cash flows. We recorded $1.2 million of impairment charge to our proved properties during the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $2.3 million of impairments for the year ended December 31, 2012 in discontinued operations, and we incurred no impairment charge to our proved properties for the year ended December 31, 2011 based on our analysis.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance in the Company’s statement of operations. We recorded no impairment to unproved properties during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $10.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 in discontinued operations. We did not record impairment during the year ended 2011.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Estimates of our proved reserves included in this report are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and SEC guidelines. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:
· the quality and quantity of available data;
· the interpretation of that data;
· the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions;
· and the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.
Our proved reserve information included in this report was predominately based on evaluations prepared by independent petroleum engineers. Estimates prepared by other third parties may be higher or lower than those included herein. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may substantially differ from future actual results, reserve estimates will be different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production after the date of an estimate may justify material revisions to the estimate.
In accordance with SEC requirements, we based the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves on the unweighted arithmetic average of the prior 12-month commodity prices as of the first day of each of the months constituting the period and costs on the date of the estimate. Future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than these prices and costs which would impact the estimated value of our reserves.
The estimates of proved reserves may materially impact depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) expense. If the estimates of proved reserves decline, the rate at which we record depreciation and depletion expense will increase, reducing net income. Such a decline may result from lower estimated market prices.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and petroleum products, and other items are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when the risk of ownership passes to the purchaser and physical delivery of goods occurs, either immediately or within a fixed delivery schedule that is reasonable and customary in the industry.
Revenues from the production of natural gas and crude oil properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes we sold during the period. Any differences between volumes sold and entitlement volumes, based on our net working interest, which are deemed to be non-recoverable through remaining production, are recognized as accounts receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate. Cumulative differences between volumes sold and entitlement volumes are generally not significant.
Restricted Cash
On December 23, 2013, the Chancery Court entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Company from transferring, assigning, removing, distributing or otherwise displacing to its Parent, or its parent’s creditors, or any other person or entity $5,000,000 of the proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Company’s assets. See “Note 8 - Contingencies.”
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of oil and gas sales, due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 to 60 days of production. Payments made on all accounts receivable are applied to the earliest unpaid items. We review our accounts receivable periodically and reduce the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects our best estimate of the amount that may not be collectible. Based on our review, no allowance was warranted at either December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Production Costs
Production costs, including compressor rental and repair, pumpers’ salaries, saltwater disposal, ad valorem taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, expensed workovers and other operating expenses are expensed as incurred and included in lease operating expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
Severance Tax and Marketing
Severance taxes comprise production taxes charged by the state of North Dakota on oil and natural gas produced. These taxes are computed on the basis of volumes and/or value of production or sales. These taxes are usually levied at the time and place the minerals are severed from the producing reservoir. Marketing costs are those directly associated with marketing our production and are based on volumes produced.
Exploration and Abandonments
Exploration expenses include dry hole costs, delay rentals, and geological and geophysical costs. Abandonment costs are charges to leasehold costs associated with properties that we chose not to develop and impair such costs.
Dependence on Major Customers
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, we sold 48%; 99%; and 98%, respectively, of our oil and gas produced to Plains Marketing, L.P. (“Plains”), a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Additionally, substantially all of our accounts receivable related to oil and gas sales were due from Plains at December 31, 2013 and 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 52% of our oil and gas produced to Trafigura Limited. We believe that there are potential alternative purchasers and that it may be necessary to establish relationships with new purchasers if our production grows. However, there can be no assurance that we can establish such relationships and that those relationships will result in increased purchasers. Although we are exposed to a concentration of credit risk, we believe that Plains and Trafigura are credit worthy.
Dependence on Suppliers
Our industry is cyclical, and from time to time there is a shortage of drilling rigs, fracture stimulation services, equipment, supplies and qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater. If the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel were particularly severe in the areas where we operate, we could be materially and adversely affected. We believe that there are potential alternative providers of drilling services and that it may be necessary to establish relationships with new contractors as our activity level and capital program grows. However, there can be no assurance that we can establish such relationships and that those relationships will result in increased availability of drilling rigs.
Accounts Payable to Parent
In accordance with revolving credit agreement between the Company and its Parent, the Parent has loaned funds to the Company to i) pay off third party debt, ii) fund operations, principally joint interest billings offset by revenue receipts, and iii) fund the development of oil and gas properties. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has an outstanding liability owed to its Parent in the amount of $45.7 million and $59.0 million, respectively. See “Note 5- Related Party Transactions.”
Asset Retirement Obligation
Our asset retirement obligation represents the present value of the estimated amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as accretion expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Our liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells and our risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. See “Note 4 - Asset Retirement Obligations” to our financial statements for more information.
Income Taxes
The Company is not subject to federal income taxes and does not have a tax sharing agreement or allocate taxes with its member. Therefore, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes on the Company’s books. It is the responsibility of the member to report its share of taxable income or loss on its separate income tax return. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
Based on management’s analysis, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. The Company’s income tax returns for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2009 remain open for examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties, and the associated tax expense related to uncertain tax positions, when applicable, will be recorded in income tax expense as the positions are recognized. At December 31, 2013, and 2012, there were no material income tax interest or penalty items recorded in the statement of operations or as a liability on the balance sheet.
NOTE 3 - DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sale of Assets of PRC Williston, LLC and Williston Hunter ND, LLC
On December 30, 2013, PRC Williston (together with its affiliate Williston Hunter) closed on the sale of all of their oil and gas assets to Enduro Operating, LLC for a total purchase price of approximately $44.1 million in cash, after initial purchase price adjustments, of which $21.9 million was attributed to the Company, such proceeds being allocated according to Magnum Hunter's working interest in the assets sold. The effective date of the sale was September 1, 2013. PRC Williston has recognized a preliminary gain on the sale of $7.1 million.
NOTE 4 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations based on the guidance of ASC 410 which addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset’s retirement obligation be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the corresponding cost capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Both the accretion of the liability and the depreciation of the asset are included in DD&A. We have included estimated future costs of abandonment and dismantlement in our successful efforts oil and gas properties base and deplete these costs as a component of our DD&A expense in the accompanying financial statements.
The following table summarizes the Company’s asset retirement obligation transactions during the years ended December 31:
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company and its parent, Magnum Hunter, have an arrangement whereby Magnum Hunter provides funding to the Company for costs of developing oil and gas properties and Magnum Hunter allocates interest expense and general and administrative expenses to the Company. The allocation of interest expense is computed based on the amount funded to the Company multiplied by the interest rate applicable to Magnum Hunter’s revolving credit facility. The effective interest rate due by the Company to Magnum Hunter was approximately 3.42%, 3.56%, and 3.55% for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The interest expense allocated to PRC Williston was $1.9 million, $2.1 million, and $2.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Accrued interest is included in accounts payable due to Parent. General and administrative expenses are allocated to the Company from Magnum Hunter on a pro rata basis relating to the Company’s revenues in proportion to the consolidated oil and gas sales of Magnum Hunter and all its subsidiaries. The general and administrative expense allocated to PRC Williston was $1.7 million, $1.2 million, and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The accumulated charges from the general and administrative expense allocation are included in accounts payable due to Parent. At December 31, 2013, the balance due to Magnum Hunter was $45.7 million, and the balance was $59.0 million as of December 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 - GUARANTEE
On May 16, 2012, the Company was named a guarantor subsidiary to the Senior Notes issued by the Parent, which are due November 2020. The Senior Notes were issued by the Parent pursuant to an indenture entered into on May 16, 2012 as supplemented, among the Parent, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as the paying agent, registrar and authenticating agent. The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture, which contains affirmative and restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Parent’s and the guarantors’ ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or make certain other restricted payments; transfer or sell assets; make loans and other investments; create or permit to exist certain liens; enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to the Company; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create unrestricted subsidiaries.
The indenture also contains events of default. Upon the occurrence of events of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, the Senior Notes shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act of the trustee or the holders of the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of certain other events of default, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Notes may declare all outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The Parent had $600.0 million in principal outstanding under the Senior Notes as of December 31, 2013. The Company shares joint and several liability with other guaranteeing subsidiaries of the Parent, and the Company does not expect the default provisions to require recourse to the lenders. As such, the Company cannot estimate any potential loss as a result of the guarantee of indebtedness of the Parent. In January 2014, the Company ceased to be a guarantor subsidiary. See “Note 9 - Subsequent Events.”
NOTE 7 - SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)
The following table sets forth the costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration, and development activities.
Oil and Gas Reserve Information
Proved oil and gas reserve quantities are based on estimates prepared by Magnum Hunter’s third party reservoir engineering firms. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The following reserve data only represent estimates and should not be construed as being exact.
Total Proved Reserves
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Reserves
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves and the changes in standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves were prepared in accordance with current provisions of ASC 932. Future cash inflows at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were computed by applying the unweighted, arithmetic average on the closing price on the first day of each month for the 12-month period prior to December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 to estimated future production. Future production and development costs are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and natural gas reserves at year-end, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves are as follows:
Changes in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves are as follows:
The commodity prices inclusive of adjustments for quality and location used in determining future net revenues related to the standardized measure calculation are as follows.
NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES
On December 16, 2013, Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP (“Drawbridge”) and Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC f/k/a D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Fortress”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against PRC Williston LLC in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in a case captioned C.A. No. 9166-VCL, Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP and Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC f/k/a D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. v. PRC Williston LLC.
Plaintiffs allege that they are entitled to a 12.5% collective interest in any distributions in respect of the equity interests of the members of the Company. Their claims are based on Participation Agreements entered into between PRC Williston and the Plaintiffs in February 2007 in connection with the Plaintiffs extending credit to PRC Williston pursuant to a credit agreement. Plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to compensation for 12.5% of alleged past distributions on equity from PRC Williston to Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“Magnum Hunter”), as well as to receive 12.5% of any transfers of funds to Magnum Hunter from the proceeds of the December 30, 2013 sale of PRC Williston’s assets for approximately $21.9 million. On December 23, 2013, the Chancery Court entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting PRC Williston from transferring, assigning, removing, distributing or otherwise displacing to Magnum Hunter, Magnum Hunter’s creditors, or any other person or entity, $5 million of the proceeds received by PRC Williston in connection with the sale of PRC Williston’s assets to Enduro Operating LLC. The Court also granted Plaintiffs’ motion for expedited proceedings, ordering expedited discovery and a hearing within 90 days on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction effectively seeks to extend the relief granted by the temporary restraining order until after a full trial on the merits. A hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is scheduled to occur on March 18, 2014. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2014, as permitted by the Magnum Hunter debt agreements referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), the Company ceased to be a guarantor of (i) Magnum Hunter’s indebtedness under Magnum Hunter’s senior revolving credit facility and (ii) Magnum Hunter’s indebtedness under its indenture pursuant to which Magnum Hunter has issued certain senior unsecured notes.
