Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Note P – Leases Significant Accounting Policy At inception, contracts are assessed for the presence of a lease according to criteria laid out by ASC 842. If a lease is present, further criteria is assessed to determine if the lease should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Operating l ease a ssets with the corresponding lease liabilities presented in Operating lease liabilities and Non-current operating lease liabilities. Finance lease assets are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet within Property, plant and equipment, net with the corresponding liabilities presented in Current maturities of long-term debt and Long-term debt. Generally, lease liabilities are recognized at commencement and based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease assets are then recognized based on the value of the lease liabilities. Where implicit lease rates are not determinable, the minimum lease payments are discounted using the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rates. Operating leases are expensed according to their nature and recognized in L ease operating expenses, S elling and general expenses or capitalized in the Consolidated Financial Statement. F inance leases are depreciated with expenses recognized in D epreciation, depletion, and amortization and I nterest expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Nature of Leases T he Company has entered into various operating leases such as a gas processing plant, floating production storage and off-take vessels, buildings, marine vessels, vehicles, drilling rigs, pipelines, and other oil and gas field equipment. Remaining lease terms range from 1 year to 17 years, some of which may include options to extend leases for multi-year periods and others which include options to terminate the leases within 1 month. Options to extend lease terms are at the Company’s discretion. Early lease terminations are a combination of both at Company discretion and mutual agreement between the Company and lessor.
