Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Incentive Plans | Note I – Incentive Plans The costs resulting from all share-based and cash-based incentive plans are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations using a fair value-based measurement method over the periods that the awards vest. On December 7, 2021, the Board approved the replacement of the 2017 Annual Incentive Plan (2017 Annual Plan) with the Murphy Oil Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) effective as of January 1, 2022. The new AIP can be found as an exhibit to the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2022 and will remain in effect until such time as the Plan is terminated by the Board. The AIP authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and certain other employees. Cash awards under the AIP are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee. The 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2020 Long-Term Plan) authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s Common Stock to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock options (nonqualified or incentive), stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSU), performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives. The 2020 Long-Term Plan expires in 2030. A total of five million shares are issuable during the life of the 2020 Long-Term Plan. Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under this Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. Share awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an award shall not count as shares issued under this Plan. During the first three months of 2022, the Committee granted the following awards from the 2020 Long-Term Plan: 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan
