Extractive Industries [Abstract] |
Suspended Exploratory Well Costs | (7) SUSPENDED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS We capitalize exploratory well costs until a determination is made that the well has either found proved reserves or that it is impaired. Capitalized exploratory well costs are presented in natural gas and oil properties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If an exploratory well is determined to be impaired, the well costs are charged to exploration expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. We did not have any exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015. The following table reflects the change in capitalized exploratory well costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 (in thousands):
|  | June 30, 2015 |  |  |  | December 31, 2014 |
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 2,996 |  |  | $ | 6,964 |
Additions to capitalized exploratory well costs pending the determination of proved reserves |  | 35,111 |  |  |  | 18,747 |
Reclassifications to wells, facilities and equipment based on determination of proved reserves |  | ¾ |  |  |  | (15,735 | )
Divested wells |  | ¾ |  |  |  | (6,980 | )
Balance at end of period |  | 38,107 |  |  |  | 2,996 |
Less exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period of one year or less |  | (38,107 | ) |  |  | (2,996 | )
