Natural Gas, Oil and NGL Reserves

Management considers the estimation of the Company’s natural gas, oil and NGL reserves to be the most significant of its judgments and estimates. Changes in natural gas, oil and NGL reserve estimates affect the Company’s calculation of DD&A, provision for retirement of assets and assessment of the need for asset impairments. On an annual basis, with a semi-annual update, the Company’s Independent Consulting Petroleum Engineer, with assistance from Company staff, prepares estimates of natural gas, oil and NGL reserves based on available geologic and seismic data, reservoir pressure data, core analysis reports, well logs, analogous reservoir performance history, production data and other available sources of engineering, geologic and geophysical information. Between periods in which reserves would normally be calculated, the Company updates the reserve calculations utilizing appropriate prices for the current period. The estimated natural gas, oil and NGL reserves were computed using the 12-month average price calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month natural gas, oil and NGL price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the balance sheet date, held flat over the life of the properties. However, projected future natural gas, oil and NGL pricing assumptions are used by management to prepare estimates of natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and future net cash flows used in asset impairment assessments and in formulating management’s overall operating decisions. Natural gas, oil and NGL prices are volatile, affected by worldwide production and consumption, and are outside the control of management.

Impairment

Company management monitors all long-lived assets, principally natural gas and oil properties, for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be greater than its estimated future net cash flows. The evaluations involve significant judgment since the results are based on estimated future events, such as inflation rates; future drilling and completion costs; future sales prices for natural gas, oil and NGL; future production costs; estimates of future natural gas, oil and NGL reserves to be recovered and the timing thereof; the economic and regulatory climates; and other factors. The need to test a property for impairment may result from significant declines in sales prices or unfavorable adjustments to natural gas, oil and NGL reserves. Between periods in which reserves would normally be calculated, the Company updates the reserve calculations to reflect any material changes since the prior report was issued and then utilizes updated projected future price decks current with the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, management’s assessment resulted in no impairment provisions on producing properties. The Company wrote off $2,073 on wells assigned to the operator with zero consideration received during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
