Schedule of estimates of its proved crude oil and natural gas reserves |
The following tables present the Company’s third-party independent reserve engineers estimates of its proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. The Company emphasizes that reserves are approximations and are expected to change as additional information becomes available. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.

Summary of standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows |
The following table presents a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, and the changes in standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas were prepared in accordance with the provisions of ASC 932 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas. Future cash inflows were computed by applying average prices of crude oil and natural gas for the last 12 months to estimated future production. Future production and development costs were computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved crude oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses were calculated by applying appropriate year-end tax rates to future pretax cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, less the tax basis of properties involved and tax credits and loss carry forwards relating to crude oil and natural gas producing activities. Future net cash flows are discounted at the rate of 10% annually to derive the standardized measure of discounted future cash flows. Actual future cash inflows may vary considerably, and the standardized measure does not necessarily represent the fair value of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, | (In thousands) | 2021 | | 2020 | | 2019 | Future Cash Inflows | $ | 11,339,861 | | | $ | 3,395,670 | | | $ | 7,059,586 | | Future Production Costs | (4,213,186) | | | (1,747,325) | | | (2,868,762) | | Future Development Costs | (932,480) | | | (416,507) | | | (855,041) | | Future Income Tax Expense | (947,303) | | | (3,273) | | | (320,528) | | Future Net Cash Inflows | $ | 5,246,892 | | | $ | 1,228,565 | | | $ | 3,015,255 | | | | | | | | 10% Annual Discount for Estimated Timing of Cash Flows | (2,356,783) | | | (516,554) | | | (1,337,194) | | | | | | | | Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows | $ | 2,890,109 | | | $ | 712,011 | | | $ | 1,678,061 | |
