Leases
 
Our contract arrangements accounted for under the applicable GAAP for lease contracts consist of office leases, a land lease and various pipeline right-of-way contracts.  For these contracts, a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability was established based on our assumptions of the term, inflation rates and incremental borrowing rates. 
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
we terminated the existing office lease and executed a new lease on separate office space.  The remaining term of the current office lease extends to
December 2020. 
The term of the new office lease extends to
February 2032. 
When calculating the ROU asset and lease liability at the commencement of the new office lease, we have reduced future cash outflows by the lease incentive to be received.
 
The term of each pipeline right-of-way contract is
10
years with various effective dates, and each has an option to renew for up to another
ten
 years.  It is expected renewals beyond
10
years can be obtained as renewals were granted to the previous lessees.  The land lease has an option to renew every
five
 years extending to
2085.
  The expected term of the rights-of way and land leases was estimated to approximate the life of the related reserves.   
 
We recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate of
9.75%
for the office leases and
10.75%
for the other leases due to their longer expected term.
