The Company funded the cash portion of the Eagle Property Acquisition purchase price with a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the "2020 Senior Notes"), which also closed on October 1, 2012.

On May 31, 2013, the Company closed on the acquisition of producing properties and undeveloped acreage in the Anadarko Basin in Texas and Oklahoma from Panther Energy Company, LLC and its partners for approximately $618 million in cash (the "Anadarko Basin Acquisition"), before customary post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the purchase price with a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement of $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2020 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"), which also closed on May 31, 2013.

On May 1, 2014, the Company closed on the sale of all of its ownership interest in developed and undeveloped acreage in the Pine Prairie field area of Evangeline Parish, Louisiana to a private buyer for a purchase price of $170 million in cash, before customary post-closing adjustments. Acreage subject to the transaction totaled 3,907 gross (3,757 net) acres, and did not include our acreage and production in the western part of Louisiana in Beauregard and Calcasieu Parish or other undeveloped acreage held outside the Pine Prairie field.

The Company has oil and gas operations and properties in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. At December 31, 2014, the Company operated oil and natural gas properties as one reportable segment engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas. The Company's management evaluated performance based on one reportable segment as there were not significantly different economic or operational environments within its oil and natural gas properties.
