Oil and Gas Reserve Information
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of natural gas, crude oil, condensate, and NGLs, which by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The Company reports all estimated proved reserves held under production-sharing arrangements utilizing the “economic interest” method, which excludes the host country’s share of reserves.
Estimated reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project or the operation of an active, improved recovery program using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty for the engineering analysis on which the project or program is based. Economically producible means a resource that generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. Reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field-tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. In estimating its proved reserves, the Company uses several different traditional methods that can be classified in three general categories: (1) performance-based methods; (2) volumetric-based methods; and (3) analogy with similar properties. The Company will, at times, utilize additional technical analysis such as computer reservoir models, petrophysical techniques, and proprietary 3-D seismic interpretation methods to provide additional support for more complex reservoirs. Information from this additional analysis is combined with traditional methods outlined above to enhance the certainty of the Company’s reserve estimates.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The reserve data in the following tables only represent estimates and should not be construed as being exact.

(1) Includes total proved reserves of 61 MMboe, 66 MMboe, 59 MMboe, and 64 MMboe as of December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, attributable to a noncontrolling interest in Egypt.
During 2022, the Company added approximately 34 MMboe from extensions, discoveries, and other additions. The Company recorded 22 MMboe of exploration and development adds in the U.S., comprising 9 MMboe in the Permian Basin, 8 MMboe in the Texas Gulf Coast, and 5 MMboe in the Delaware Basin. Drilling programs for the Permian and Delaware Basins include the Wolfcamp, Bone Spring and Spraberry with the Austin Chalk as the primary focus for the Texas Gulf Coast. International operations contributed 12 MMboe of exploration and development adds, with Egypt contributing 9 MMboe from onshore exploration and appraisal activity primarily in the Khalda Area and 3 MMboe from the North Sea. The Company had combined upward revisions of previously estimated reserves of 75 MMboe. Upward revisions related to miscellaneous changes accounted for 5 MMboe. Engineering and performance upward revisions accounted for 70 MMboe, with Egypt accounting for an increase of 43 MMboe, primarily the result of PSC modernization in Egypt. The North Sea contributed 9 MMboe of upward revisions from well performance and reactivations in both the Beryl and Forties programs. In the United States, the Company experienced positive revisions of 18 MMboe. The Company acquired 39 MMboe of proved reserves during 2022, primarily in the Delaware Basin. The Company also sold 26 MMboe of proved reserves associated with U.S. divestitures, primarily related to Permian Basin assets.
During 2021, the Company added approximately 102 MMboe from extensions, discoveries, and other additions. The Company recorded 77 MMboe of exploration and development adds in the U.S., comprising 59 MMboe in the Permian Basin with the remaining 18 MMboe in the Texas Gulf Coast. The Permian Basin drilling programs targeted the Woodford, Barnett, Bone Springs, and Spraberry, while the Texas Gulf Coast focused on the Austin Chalk. International operations contributed 25 MMboe of exploration and development adds, with Egypt contributing 22 MMboe from onshore exploration and appraisal activity primarily in the Khalda Area concession post-PSC modernization. The North Sea contributed 3 MMboe. The Company had combined upward revisions of previously estimated reserves of 107 MMboe. Upward revisions related to changes in product prices accounted for 85 MMboe. Engineering and performance upward revisions accounted for 22 MMboe, with the new merged concession agreement in Egypt resulting in an increase of 57 MMboe, partially offset by other downward revisions of 35 MMboe across all of the Company’s geographic areas of operation. The Company also sold 28 MMboe of proved reserves associated with U.S. divestitures, primarily related to Permian Basin assets.
As previously discussed, in December 2021, the Egyptian government signed into law an agreement to modernize and consolidate a majority of the Company’s Egypt PSCs. The impact of the consolidated PSC to proved reserves based on the modernized terms is an estimated increase of 53 MMboe and 4 MMboe in developed and undeveloped reserves, respectively, and approximately $750 million in discounted future net cash flows. Approximately 96 percent of the Company’s Egypt reserves are now consolidated within the modernized PSC. These estimates include Sinopec’s noncontrolling interest in Egypt.
During 2020, the Company added approximately 78 MMboe from extensions, discoveries, and other additions. The Company recorded 39 MMboe of exploration and development adds in the U.S., primarily in the Southern Midland Basin (26 MMboe) associated with the Wolfcamp and Spraberry drilling programs and the remainder in the Delaware Basin and Austin Chalk. The international operations contributed 39 MMboe of exploration and development adds during 2020, with Egypt contributing 32 MMboe from onshore exploration and appraisal activity primarily in the Khalda Area and Umbarka Area concessions. The North Sea contributed 7 MMboe from drilling success, primarily in the Beryl Field. The Company had combined downward revisions of previously estimated reserves of 45 MMboe. Downward revisions related to changes in product prices accounted for 70 MMboe, engineering and performance upward revisions accounted for 27 MMboe, and downward interest revisions accounted for 2 MMboe. The Company also sold 10 MMboe of proved reserves associated with U.S. divestitures, primarily related to Eastern Shelf and Magnet Withers/Pickett Ridge.
Approximately 10 percent of the Company’s year-end 2022 estimated proved developed reserves are classified as proved not producing. These reserves relate to zones that are either behind pipe, or that have been completed but not yet produced, or zones that have been produced in the past, but are not now producing because of mechanical reasons. These reserves are considered to be a lower tier of reserves than producing reserves because they are frequently based on volumetric calculations rather than performance data. Future production associated with behind pipe reserves is scheduled to follow depletion of the currently producing zones in the same wellbores. Additional capital may have to be spent to access these reserves. The capital and economic impact of production timing are reflected in this Note 18, under “Future Net Cash Flows.”

Future cash inflows as of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were calculated using an unweighted arithmetic average of oil and gas prices in effect on the first day of each month in the respective year, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Operating costs, production and ad valorem taxes and future development costs are based on current costs with no escalation. Future development costs include abandonment and dismantlement costs.
The following table sets forth unaudited information concerning future net cash flows for proved oil and gas reserves, net of income tax expense. Income tax expense has been computed using expected future tax rates and giving effect to tax deductions and credits available, under laws in effect as of December 31, 2022, and which relate to oil and gas producing activities. This information does not purport to present the fair market value of the Company’s oil and gas assets, but does present a standardized disclosure concerning possible future net cash flows that would result under the assumptions used.
