Supplemental Oil and Gas Information [Abstract] |
Supplemental Oil and Gas Information | ﻿ The following unaudited schedules are presented in accordance with required disclosures about Oil and 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 PROVED CRUDE OIL RESERVES SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RESERVES SCHEDULE 3 – 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 gas on the first calendar day of each month during the year. 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). The average prices used for 2017 were $51.34 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI), and $2.98 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 Mur phy’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, histor ic 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. ﻿ Prior to its disposition in 2016, Murphy included synthetic crude oil from its five percent interest in the Syncrude project in Alberta, Canada in its proved crude oil reserves. All synthetic oil volumes reported as proved reserves in Schedule 1 are the final synthetic crude oil product. ﻿ 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 and synthetic reserves, 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. ﻿ ﻿ All proved reserves in Malaysia are associated with production sharing contracts for Blocks SK 309/311, K and H. Malaysia reserves include oil and gas to be received for both cost recovery and profit provisions under the contract. At December 31, 2018, liquids and natural gas proved reserves associated with the production sharing contracts in Malaysia totaled 51.7 million barrels and 468.2 billion cubic feet (BCF), respectively. At December 31, 2018, approximately 26.1 BCF of natural gas proved reserves in Malaysia relate to fields in Block K for which the Company expects to receive sale proceeds of approximately $0.24 per thousand cubic feet. Sales price for other natural gas produced in Malaysia is based on market-driven prices. ﻿ SCHEDULE 6 – STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND 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. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted into legislation the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act); as a result the company’s statutory U.S. tax rate was 21% in 2018, a decrease from the previous rate of 35%. ﻿ 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 6 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, 201 8. ﻿ Schedule 1 – Summary of Proved Crude Oil Reserves Based on Average Prices for 201 5 – 201 8 ﻿

The negative Canadian oil reserves revisions in 2018 resulted from removing locations in lower performing areas of the Kaybob Duvernay as well as locations removed in Hibernia Offshore Canada due to updated operator development plans. The positive revisions for crude oil reserves in Malaysia were principally attributable to continued development in Kakap field and improved performance in South Acis field. ﻿ Improved recovery – The 2018 Malaysia crude oil proved reserve addition was due to favorable impacts from gas lift activity at the Kikeh field. ﻿ Extensions and discoveries – In 2018, proved oil 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 oil 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 oversees operations. In addition, the Company acquired partial ownership in the Jagus East field in Brunei. ﻿ 2017 Comments for Proved Crude Oil Reserves Changes Revisions of previous estimate s – The 2017 negative crude oil revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to the removal of proved undeveloped locations within the 5-year development window as capital was reallocated to higher performing drilling locations within the Company’s Eagle Ford Shale fields, partially offset by improved Eagle Ford Shale costs and performance results in the Gulf of Mexico. The positive Canadian oil reserves revisions in 2017 resulted from improved performance at Tupper Montney assets in Western Canada, and offshore Canada fields, Hibernia and Terra Nova. The negative revisions for crude oil reserves in Malaysia were principally attributable to the redetermination of Kakap participation that lowered the Company’s entitlement, and higher government entitlement under the terms of the respective production sharing contracts due to higher oil prices, offsetting positive performance revisions at the Company’s Sarawak projects. ﻿ Improved recovery – The 201 7 Malaysia crude oil proved reserve add ition was primarily due to favorable impacts for waterflood activity at certain Sarawak oil fields. ﻿ Extensions and discoveries – In 2017, proved oil reserves were added in the U.S. for drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale concurrent with the reallocation of capital to higher performing drilling areas moving well locations within the 5-year development window for proved undeveloped reserves, and in Canada for drilling activities in the Montney and Duvernay. Proved oil reserves were also added for drilling activities in the U.S. offshore. ﻿ Purchases of p roperties – In 2017, the Company acquire d greater working interests in two of its operated Gulf of Mexico fields. In U.S. onshore, the Company acquired acreage in the Permian area of west Texas. Additional Eagle Ford Shale acreage was acquired through joint venture agreement s with other operators within its core acreage position. ﻿ 2016 Comments for Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Changes Revisions of previous estimate s – The 2016 negative crude oil revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to impacts of lower price on Eagle Ford Shale volumes and reduced performance in a particular location, partially offset by improved Eagle Ford Shale costs and drilling results in the Gulf of Mexico. The positive Canadian oil reserves revisions in 2016 resulted from improved Kaybob Duvernay performance and an increase at Terra Nova due to development drilling. The positive revisions for crude oil reserves in Malaysia was attributable to improved performance and lower government entitlement under the terms of the respective production sharing contracts due to lower oil prices, which collectively more than offset a negative revision at Kikeh following updated decline curve analysis. ﻿ ﻿ 2016 Comments for Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Changes (Contd.) ﻿ Extensions and discoveries – In 2016, proved oil reserves were added in the U.S. for drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale, and deeper oil-water contacts realized at a field in Malaysia. ﻿ Purchases of p roperties – In 2016, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary acquired working interests in the Kaybob Duvernay and liquids rich Placid Montney areas. The crude oil reserves are all associated with the Kaybob Duvernay area. ﻿ Sales of properties – In the U.S., proved oil reserves were reduced following the sale of certain non-core Eagle Ford Shale acreage. In Canada, the Company sold its interests in both a heavy oil field and a synthetic oil project. ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ Schedule 2 – Summary of Proved Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Reserves Based on Average Prices for 201 5 – 201 8 ﻿ ﻿
