 between fair value and carrying value. The Company performed its assessment of goodwill as of October 1, 2024 and determined there was no indication of impairment.LeasesThe Company had right-of-use lease assets of $73.8 million and $71.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to its corporate office lease, certain office equipment, vehicles and drilling rigs with corresponding short-term and long-term liabilities. The value of the lease assets and liabilities are determined based upon discounted future minimum cash flows contained within each of the respective contracts, including the effects of early termination provisions. The Company determines if contracts contain a lease at inception of the contract. Since most of the Company's lease contracts do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. To the extent that contract terms representing a lease are identified, leases are identified as being either an operating lease or a finance-type lease. Comstock currently has no finance-type leases. Right-of-use lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the related lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments under the terms of the contracts. Short-term leases that have an initial term of one year or less are not capitalized; however, amounts paid for those leases are included as part of its lease cost disclosures. Short-term lease costs exclude expenses related to leases with a lease term of one month or less. Comstock contracts for a variety of equipment used in its natural gas and oil exploration and development operations.

The Company's drilling and completion operations routinely change due to changes in commodity prices, demand for natural gas and oil, and the overall operating and economic environment. Accordingly, Comstock manages the terms of its contracts for drilling rigs and completion equipment so as to allow for maximum flexibility in responding to these changing conditions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had three drilling rig lease contracts with a three-year term with options to extend the term by mutual agreement at mutually acceptable terms or terminate the contract at any time without default by the lessor. The Company's other drilling rig contracts are presently either for periods of less than one year, or they are on terms that provide for cancellation with 45 days advance notice without a specified expiration date. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of
