Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Industries Disclosures [Abstract] |
Supplemental Oil and Gas Information | The following unaudited schedules are presented in accordance with required disclosures about Oil and Natural 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 TOTAL PROVED EQUIVALENT RESERVES SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF PROVED CRUDE OIL RESERVES SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RESERVES SCHEDULE 4 – 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 natural gas on the first calendar day of each month during the year. The average prices used for 2023 were $78.22 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $2.64 per MCF for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2022 were $93.67 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $6.36 per MCF for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2021 were $66.56 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $3.60 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 (including hydrocarbon prices, operating costs, and development costs) and commercially available technologies to establish “reasonable certainty” of economic producibility. Estimates are presented in millions of barrels of oil equivalents and dollars and billions of cubic feet with one decimal; totals within the tables may not add as a result of rounding. 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 Murphy’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, historic 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. 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, 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. SCHEDULE 7 – STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND NATURAL 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. 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 7 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, 2023.

These negative revisions were partially offset by positive revisions due to reduced royalty rates and delayed royalty incentive payouts resulting from lower commodity prices in Tupper Montney. Extensions and discoveries - In 2023, proved equivalent reserves were added for drilling and expansion activities predominantly in Canada at Tupper Montney, the Eagle Ford Shale in the U.S., and Other international. Purchases and sales of properties - In 2023, the Company divested a portion of its working interest in the Kaybob Duvernay and all of its Placid Montney assets in Canada. 2022 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes Revisions of previous estimates - The equivalent reserves revisions in 2022 resulted predominantly from increased royalty rates and accelerated royalty incentive payouts due to higher commodity prices in Tupper Montney. These negative revisions were partially offset by positive well performance in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Extensions and discoveries - In 2022, proved equivalent reserves were added for drilling and expansion activities predominantly in Canada at Tupper Montney and Kaybob Duvernay as well as in the U.S. at the Gulf of Mexico and Eagle Ford Shale. Purchases and sales of properties - In 2022, the Company acquired incremental working interests in two producing fields in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and divested working interests in one field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and a portion of Eagle Ford Shale. 2021 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes Revisions of previous estimates - The equivalent reserves revisions in 2021 resulted predominantly from accelerated royalty incentive payouts due to higher commodity prices in Tupper Montney. These negative revisions were partially offset by positive revisions in the U.S. from higher commodity prices, which partially reversed the 2020 capital expenditure reduction and improved well performance in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Extensions and discoveries - In 2021, proved equivalent reserves were added for drilling and expansion activities predominantly in Canada at Tupper Montney as well as in the U.S. at the Eagle Ford Shale and the Gulf of Mexico. Purchases and sales of properties - In 2021, the Company acquired incremental working interests in Terra Nova offshore Canada and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Extensions and discoveries - In 2021, proved equivalent reserves were added for drilling and expansion activities predominantly in Canada at Tupper Montney, as well as in the U.S. at the Eagle Ford Shale and the Gulf of Mexico. Purchases and sales of properties - In 2021, the Company acquired incremental working interests at Terra Nova offshore Canada and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
