Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements Our ability to bring our Southwest Appalachia production to market will depend on a number of factors including the construction of and/or the availability of capacity on gathering systems and pipelines that we do not own. We refer you to “Marketing” within  Item 1  of Part I of this Annual Report for a discussion of our gathering and transportation arrangements for Southwest Appalachia production. We limited our activities in areas beyond our assets in Appalachia during 2020 and 2019 as a result of the commodity price environment as we focused our capital allocation on these more economically competitive plays. There can be no assurance that any prospects outside of our development plays will result in viable projects or that we will not abandon our initial investments.  Excluding 2 518 519 acres in New Brunswick  Canada  which have been subject to a government-imposed drilling moratorium since 2015  we held 9 764 net undeveloped acres for the potential development of new resources as of December 31  2020 in areas outside of Appalachia. This compares to 27 334 net undeveloped acres held at year-end 2019  excluding the New Brunswick acreage. New Brunswick  Canada.  We currently hold exclusive licenses to search and conduct an exploration program covering 2 518 519 net acres in New Brunswick. In 2015  the provincial government in New Brunswick imposed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing until it is satisfied with a list of conditions. In response to this moratorium  we requested and were granted an extension of its licenses to March 2021. In May 2016  the provincial government announced that the moratorium would continue indefinitely. Given this development  we fully impaired our investment in New Brunswick in 2016. We are currently working with Canadian officials to extend our licenses  although we cannot assure that the licenses will be extended past March 2021. Unless and until the moratorium is lifted  we will not be able to develop these assets. Other Acquisitions and Divestitures In November 2020  we completed a merger with Montage Resources Corporation (the “Merger”) pursuant to which Montage merged with and into Southwestern  with Southwestern continuing as the surviving company. At the effective time of the Merger we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock in Montage in exchange for 1.8656 shares of our common stock per share of Montage common stock. The Merger expanded our footprint in Appalachia by supplementing our Northeast Appalachia and Southwest Appalachia operations and by expanding our operations into Ohio. See  Note 3  to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report for more information on the Merger. During 2019  we sold non-core acreage for $38 million. There was no production or proved reserves associated with this acreage. • The decrease in 2020 E&P capital investing  as compared to the prior year  resulted from reduced average well costs as well as our commitment to invest within our cash flows from operations  which are heavily dependent on commodity prices  supplemented by the remaining proceeds from the Fayetteville Shale sale.
