Business Segments



Note U – Business Segments



Murphy’s reportable segments are organized into geographic areas of operations.  The Company’s exploration and production activity is subdivided into segments for the United States, Canada, Malaysia and all other countries.  Each of these segments derives revenues primarily from the sale of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and/or natural gas.  The Company’s management evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from operations, excluding interest income and interest expense. 



The Company has several customers that purchase a significant portion of its oil and natural gas production.  During 2017, 2016, and 2015, sales to Phillips 66 and affiliated companies represented approximately 14%, 17% and 17%,  respectively, of the Company’s total sales revenue.  Due to the quantity of active oil and natural gas purchasers in the markets where it produces hydrocarbons, the Company does not foresee any difficulty with selling its hydrocarbon production at fair market prices.



The Company completed the sale of its U.K. downstream assets during 2015.  For all years presented, assets and liabilities associated with U.K. refining and marketing operations were reported as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  These operations have been reported as Discontinued operations for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.



Information about business segments and geographic operations is reported in the following tables.  For geographic purposes, revenues are attributed to the country in which the sale occurs.  Corporate and other activities, including interest income, miscellaneous gains and losses (including foreign exchange gains and losses), interest expense and unallocated overhead, are shown in the tables to reconcile the business segments to consolidated totals.  Certain reclassifications have been made to 2016 and 2015 Corporate Revenue from external customers to align with current period presentation (see Note A).  As used in the table on the following page, certain long-lived assets at December 31 exclude investments, noncurrent receivables, deferred tax assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets.
