Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASESOn January 1, 2019, we implemented ASC 842, using the modified retrospective transition method and elected not to restate prior years. Accordingly, the effects of adopting ASC 842 were adjusted in the beginning of 2019 while prior periods are accounted for under the legacy GAAP, ASC 840. There was no cumulative effect adjustment on beginning retained earnings. We also elected other practical expedients provided by the new lease standard, the short-term lease recognition practical expedient in which leases with a term of twelve months or less will not be recognized on the balance sheet and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for real estate class of assets. Our discount rate was based on our estimated incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and economic considerations as our lease payments at the lease commencement. Below is a description of our operating and finance leases.
Operating Leases
Description of Lease
In March 2013, we entered into a ten-year real estate lease contract (the "Real Estate One Lease") with a commencement date of April 1, 2013, as part of the expansion of our equipment yard. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company made lease payments of approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities under this contract are included in our Completion Services reportable segment. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal of up to ten years, and in management’s judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Real Estate One Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change.
We accounted for our Real Estate One Lease as an operating lease. This conclusion resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term. We did not account for the land separately from the building of the real estate leases because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average discount rate and remaining lease term was 6.7% and 0.3 years, respectively.
As part of our expansion of our hydraulic fracturing equipment maintenance program, we entered into a two year maintenance facility real estate lease contract (the "Maintenance Facility Lease") with a commencement date of March 14, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company made lease payments of approximately $0.3 million. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes an optional renewal for three additional periods of one year each, and in management's judgment the exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Maintenance Facility Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change.
We accounted for our Maintenance Facility Lease as an operating lease. This conclusion resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term. We did not account for the land separately from the building of the Maintenance Facility Lease because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average discount rate and remaining lease term was approximately 3.4% and 1.2 years, respectively.
In August 2022 and December 2022, we entered into three year equipment leases (the "Electric Fleet Lease") for a total of four fleets with 60,000 HHP per fleet. The Electric Fleet Lease contains an option to purchase the equipment at any time during the period of the lease. The leases have not yet commenced. We currently do not control the assets under the Electric Fleet Lease because they are currently being manufactured by the vendor and we have not taken possession of the assets. The manufacturing and delivery of the electric fleets is estimated to take up to ten months from the lease execution date. Given that the Company has not yet taken possession of the assets under the Electric Fleet Lease, the Company has not accounted for the right of use and lease obligation in its balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
In October 2022, we entered into a real estate lease contract for five years, four months (the "Real Estate Two Lease"), expected to commence in March 2023. Since the lease had not commenced because the Company has not taken possession of the asset as of December 31, 2022, the Company has not accounted for the right of use and lease obligation in its balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. In addition to the contractual lease period, the contract includes two optional renewals of one year each, and in management’s judgment the exercise of the renewal options is not reasonably assured. The contract does not include a residual value guarantee, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Real Estate One Lease does not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change.
As part of the Silvertip Acquisition, we assumed two real estate leases (the "Silvertip Leases") with remaining terms of four years, nine months and six years, one month, respectively, from the Silvertip Acquisition Date. During the period from November 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the Company made lease payments of approximately $0.03 million and $0.05 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities under these contracts are recorded in our wireline operating segment. The Silvertip Leases do not have any renewal options, residual value guarantees, covenants or financial restrictions. Further, the Silvertip Leases do not contain variability in payments resulting from either an index change or rate change.
We accounted for our Silvertip Leases as operating leases. This conclusion resulted from the existence of the right to control the use of the assets throughout the lease term. We did not account for the land separately from the building of the real estate leases because we concluded that the accounting effect was insignificant. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average discount rate and remaining lease term was 2.1% and 5.5 years, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, our total operating lease right-of-use asset cost was $4.6 million, and accumulated amortization was $1.5 million. As of December 31, 2021, our total operating lease right-of-use asset cost was $1.2 million, and accumulated amortization was $0.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 we recorded operating lease cost of $0.7 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million respectively, in our statement of operations.
Finance Leases
Description of Ground Lease
In 2018, we entered into a ten-year land lease contract (the "Ground Lease") with an exclusive option to purchase the land exercisable beginning one year from the commencement date of October 1, 2018 through the end of the contractual lease term. In March 2020, the Company exercised its option and purchased the land associated with the Ground Lease for approximately $2.5 million.
The maturity analysis of liabilities and reconciliation to undiscounted and discounted remaining future lease payments for operating leases as of December 31, 2022 are as follows:
($ in thousands) Totals
2023 $ 912 
2024 570 
2025 526 
2026 533 
2027 463 
2028 322 
Total undiscounted future lease payments 3,326 
Amount representing interest (164)
Present value of future lease payments (lease obligation) $ 3,162 
The total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of our operating lease liability during the year ended December 31, 2022 was approximately $0.7 million. The non-cash lease obligation we recorded upon execution of the Maintenance Facility Lease was approximately $0.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of our operating lease liability was approximately $0.4 million.
Short-Term Leases
We elected the practical expedient, consistent with ASC 842, to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less ("short-term lease") from our balance sheet and continue to record short-term leases as a period expense. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, our short-term asset lease expense was approximately $0.8 million, $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
