Update To Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

UPDATE TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY



3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Accounting policies, a list of critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty can be found in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Adjustments to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss)

Certain comparative information presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) within the Oil Sands segment and Corporate and Eliminations segment was revised.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company made adjustments to more appropriately record certain third-party purchases used for blending and optimization activities and to ensure consistent treatment of product swaps. As a result, revenues and purchased product increased with no impact to net earnings (loss), segment income (loss), cash flows or financial position. Refer to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, for further details.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has made adjustments to more appropriately reflect the cost of blending at our Lloydminster thermal and Lloydminster conventional heavy oil assets, which resulted in a reclassification of costs between purchased product and transportation and blending. An associated elimination entry was recorded in our Corporate and Eliminations segment to represent the change in the value of condensate that was extracted at our Canadian Manufacturing operations and sold back to the Oil Sands segment. As a result, purchased product decreased and transportation and blending increased, with no impact to net earnings (loss), segment income (loss), cash flows or financial position.
