Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Litigation

Management is not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of December 31, 2022.

Prior to January 1, 2022, ad valorem taxes with respect to our historical royalty interests were paid directly by certain third parties pursuant to an existing arrangement. Since the completion of our Corporate Reorganization, we have received notice from one such third party that they no longer intend to pay the ad valorem taxes related to such historical royalty interests. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $8.0 million for ad valorem taxes and intends to pay such taxes when they become due. While we intend to seek reimbursement from the third party following payment of such taxes, we are unable to determine the likelihood of such reimbursement, and accordingly, no loss recovery receivable has been recorded as of December 31, 2022.
Lease Commitments

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we have recorded right-of-use assets of $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and lease liabilities for $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, primarily related to operating leases in connection with our administrative offices located in Dallas and Midland, Texas. The office lease agreements require monthly rent payments and expire in December 2025 and July 2027, respectively. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease cost for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.8 million.

While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assets or require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations. There are no residual value guarantees in our lease commitments. The weighted-average lease term for our operating lease liabilities is approximately 44 months. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 4.7%.

Future minimum lease payments were as follows as of December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Year ending December 31, Amount
2023 $ 834 
2024 854 
2025 826 
2026 316 
2027 187 
Total lease payments 3,017 
Less: imputed interest (229)
Total operating lease liabilities $ 2,788 
 
Rent expense for these lease agreements amounted to approximately $0.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
