Item 8.01. Other Events.

Subsequent to the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, we identified an immaterial error in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to cash paid for capital expenditures for development of crude oil and natural gas properties for the periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. Our balance sheets and statements of operations for the respective periods were not impacted. 

The error resulted in an overstatement of cash flows from operations of $24.8 million and an overstatement of cash used in investing activities of $24.8 million in each period as shown below.

We evaluated the materiality of the error in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and other guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and concluded the error is immaterial to all prior periods impacted. While the error was deemed immaterial, it will be corrected prospectively in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the comparative periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.
