Supplemental Oil and Gas Information
The following unaudited schedules are presented in accordance with required disclosures about Oil and Natural gas Producing Activities to provide users with a common base for preparing estimates of future cash flows and comparing reserves among companies.  Additional background information concerning some of the schedules follows:
SCHEDULE 1 – SUMMARY OF TOTAL PROVED EQUIVALENT RESERVES
SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF PROVED CRUDE OIL RESERVES
SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RESERVES
SCHEDULE 4 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS RESERVES
Reserves of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas are estimated by the Company’s or independent engineers and are adjusted to reflect contractual arrangements and royalty rates in effect at the end of each year.  Many assumptions and judgmental decisions are required to estimate reserves.  Reserve estimates and future cash flows are based on the average market prices for sales of oil and natural gas on the first calendar day of each month during the year. The average prices used for 2020 were $39.57 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI), and $1.98 per Mcf for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2019 were $55.69 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI), and $2.57 per Mcf for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2018 were $65.56 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI), and $3.10 per Mcf for natural gas (Henry Hub).  Reported quantities are subject to future revisions, some of which may be substantial, as additional information becomes available from reservoir performance, new geological and geophysical data, additional drilling, technological advancements, price changes and other economic factors.
Murphy’s estimations for proved reserves were generated through the integration of available geoscience, engineering, and economic data and commercially available technologies to establish “reasonable certainty” of economic producibility.  As defined by the SEC, reasonable certainty of proved reserves describes a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.  In estimating proved reserves, Murphy uses common industry-accepted methods for subsurface evaluations, including performance, volumetric and analog-based studies.  Where appropriate, Murphy includes reliable geologic and engineering technology to estimate proved reserves.  Reliable geologic and engineering technology is a method or combination of methods that are field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.  This integrated approach increases the quality of and confidence in Murphy’s proved reserves estimates.  The approach was utilized in certain undrilled acreage at distances greater than the directly offsetting development spacing areas and in certain reservoirs developed with the application of improved recovery techniques.  Murphy utilized a combination of 3D seismic interpretation, core analysis, wellbore log measurements, well test data, historic production and pressure data and commercially available seismic processing and numerical reservoir simulation programs.  Reservoir parameters from analogous reservoirs were used to strengthen the reserves estimates when available.
Production quantities shown are net volumes withdrawn from reservoirs.  These may differ from sales quantities due to inventory changes, volumes consumed for fuel and/or shrinkage from the extraction of natural gas liquids.
All crude oil, natural gas liquid reserves and natural gas reserves are from consolidated subsidiaries (including noncontrolling interest) and proportionately consolidated joint ventures.  The Company has no proved reserves attributable to investees accounted for by the equity method.
SCHEDULE 7 – STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES
GAAP requires calculation of future net cash flows using a 10% annual discount factor, an unweighted average of oil and natural gas prices in effect at the beginning of each month of the year, and year-end costs and statutory tax rates, except for known future changes such as contracted prices and legislated tax rates.  
The reported value of proved reserves is not necessarily indicative of either fair market value or present value of future cash flows because prices, costs and governmental policies do not remain static; appropriate discount rates may vary; and extensive judgment is required to estimate the timing of production.  Other logical assumptions would likely have resulted in significantly different amounts.
Schedule 7 also presents the principal reasons for change in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2020.

2020 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes
Revisions of previous estimates - The negative reserves revisions in 2020 resulted predominantly from lower crude oil prices and lower capital allocation to Onshore shale properties over the next 5 years causing the removal of numerous proved undeveloped locations, partially offset by improved well performance in the Gulf of Mexico. The 2020 negative equivalents revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to lower capital allocation in the Eagle Ford Shale, and the negative revision in Canada was primarily attributable to the Kaybob Duvernay. Lower commodity prices also resulted in negative equivalents revisions in the U.S offshore and Canada offshore.
Extensions and discoveries - In 2020, proved equivalent reserves were added for drilling and expansion activities predominantly in Canada at Tupper Montney as well as in the U.S. at the Eagle Ford Shale. Proved equivalent reserves were also added for drilling activities in both the U.S. offshore and Canada offshore.
Purchases and sales of properties - In 2020, the Company divested partial working interest in an undeveloped well in the Gulf of Mexico.
2019 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes
Revisions of previous estimates -  The positive Canadian equivalents reserves revisions in 2019 resulted from improved performance in the Tupper Montney asset which offset reserves reductions from deferrals of capital expenditures at Kaybob Duvernay. The 2019 negative equivalents revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to changes in well performance in the Eagle Ford Shale, primarily the Tilden area.
Extensions and discoveries - In 2019, proved equivalent reserves were added in the U.S. for drilling activities in both the Eagle Ford Shale and in Canada at Kaybob Duvernay.  Proved equivalent reserves were also added for drilling activities in both the U.S. offshore and Canada offshore.
Purchases and sales of properties - In 2019, the Company acquired deepwater Gulf of Mexico producing assets from LLOG.  In addition, the Company acquired incremental ownership in the Chinook field in the Gulf of Mexico and partial ownership in the Jagus East field in Brunei (which is now held for sale). The Company’s Malaysia assets were divested in 2019.
2018 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes
Revisions of previous estimates - The 2018 negative proved equivalents revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to revised type curves and the removal of proved undeveloped locations outside the 5-year development window.  The negative Canadian equivalent reserves revisions in 2018 resulted from deferrals of capital expenditures of the Kaybob Duvernay as well as locations removed in Hibernia Offshore Canada due to updated operator development plans.  The positive revisions for proved equivalent reserves in Malaysia were principally attributable to continued development in Kakap field and improved performance in South Acis field.
Improved recovery - The 2018 Malaysia proved equivalent reserve addition was due to favorable impacts from gas lift activity at the Kikeh field.
Extensions and discoveries - In 2018, proved equivalent reserves were added in the U.S. for drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale, and in Canada for drilling activities in the Kaybob Duvernay.  Proved equivalent reserves were also added for drilling activities in the U.S. offshore.
Purchases of properties - In 2018, the Company acquired producing assets from PAI, which were contributed to MP GOM, for which Murphy owns 80% of the associated assets and overseas operations.  In addition, the Company acquired partial ownership in the Jagus East field in Brunei.
