Income Taxes
Note 12 - Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company calculated its provision for income taxes using the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to year-to-date ordinary income (loss) before income taxes. The provision for income taxes also includes the tax effects of discrete items recognized in the period in which they occur. 
The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 20.7% and 20.6%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 19.7% and (5.9)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to the benefit of Section 45Q tax credits from the injection of captured CO2 waste for secure geologic storage, the noncontrolling interests related to the Company's investment in joint venture partnerships, and Section 45I tax credits from marginal production. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax expense associated with the limitation on deductible executive compensation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the Company benefiting from certain Section 45Q tax credits from the injection of CO2 waste in the Barnett Zero CCUS project well, from Section 45I tax credits from marginal well production, and deferred tax balance remeasurement for Pennsylvania, partially offset by tax expense associated with the limitation on deductible executive compensation.
