Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] |
Asset Retirement Obligations | (9) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS Our asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated present value of the amounts we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives. Significant inputs used in determining such obligations include estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, estimated future inflation rates and well lives. The inputs are calculated based on historical data as well as current estimated costs. A reconciliation of our liability for plugging and abandonment costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):
