ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS	NOTE 7—ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS We account for our asset retirement obligations in accordance with Accounting for Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. This requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets be recognized at fair value when incurred and capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized asset is depreciated over the useful life of the long-lived asset. In the absence of quoted market prices, we estimate the fair value of our asset retirement obligations using present value techniques, in which estimates of future cash flows associated with retirement activities are discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Our estimated liability could change significantly if actual costs vary from assumptions or if governmental regulations change significantly. The cash flow estimate for the asset retirement obligation is based upon the assumption of a 25-year expected life of the well, discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 10%. The Company’s asset retirement obligation was established in July 2024, when it commenced drilling the Reddig well in the Hell Creek Crude oil field. The asset retirement obligation totaled $88,883 and $0 as of August 31, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively.
