oil and natural gas prices between each of the periods. The ultimate settlement amount of the unrealized portion of the derivative financial instruments is dependent on future commodity prices.
Compass’ production is generally sold at prevailing market prices. However, Compass periodically enters into derivative financial instruments for a portion of its production when market conditions are deemed favorable and oil and natural gas prices exceed Compass’ minimum internal price targets.
Compass’ objective in entering into derivative financial instruments is to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations and achieve a more predictable cash flow associated with Compass’ operations. These transactions limit Compass’ exposure to declines in prices, but also limit the benefits Compass would realize if commodity prices increase.
Compass’ total cash settlements for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter were $0.7 million, or $0.14 per Mcfe, compared to cash receipts of $5.5 million, or $0.68 per Mcfe for the Fiscal 2015 Quarter. Compass’ total cash receipts for the Fiscal 2016 Six Months were $9.0 million, or $0.82 per Mcfe, compared to cash receipts of $7.9 million, or $0.50 per Mcfe for the Fiscal 2015 Six Months. As noted above, the significant fluctuations between settlements on Compass’ derivative financial instruments demonstrate the volatility in commodity prices.
The following table presents Compass’ natural gas equivalent prices, before and after the impact of the cash settlements (payments) of its derivative financial instruments:

Compass’ derivative financial instruments are comprised of swap and three-way collar contracts. Swap contracts allow it to receive a fixed price and pay a floating market price to the counterparty for the hedged commodity. Collar contracts allows Compass to receive a market price if the market price settles within the call/put spread portion of the contract, to receive the put price if the market settles below the purchased put or a market price plus the difference between the purchased and sold puts, should the settlement price be below the sold put threshold.
