Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | Not e 1 — Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Organization and Nature of Business Talos Energy Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a Delaware corporation originally incorporated on November 14, 2017. The Parent Company conducts all business operations through its operating subsidiaries, owns no operating assets and has no material operations, cash flows or liabilities independent of its subsidiaries. The Parent Company’s common stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TALO.” The Parent Company (including its subsidiaries, collectively “Talos” or the “Company”) is a technically driven independent exploration and production company focused on safely and efficiently maximizing long-term value through its operations, currently in the United States (“U.S.”) and offshore Mexico, both through upstream oil and gas exploration and production (“Upstream”) and the development of low carbon solutions opportunities. The Company leverages decades of technical and offshore operational expertise towards the acquisition, exploration and development of assets in key geological trends that are present in many offshore basins around the world. The Company is also utilizing its expertise to develop CCS projects to help reduce industrial emissions along the coast of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The unaudited financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the 2022 Annual Report. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segments The Company has two operating segments: (i) exploration and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs (“Upstream Segment”) and (ii) CCS (“CCS Segment”). The Upstream Segment is the Company’s only reportable segment. The legal entities included in the CCS Segment have been designated as unrestricted, non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company for purposes of the Bank Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 — Financial Instruments) and indentures governing the senior notes. See additional information in Note 12 — Segment Information. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company has provided a discussion of its significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report. The Company has not changed any of its significant accounting policies from those described in our 2022 Annual Report except as set forth below. Restricted Cash — Any cash that is legally restricted from use is classified as restricted cash. If the purpose of restricted cash relates to acquiring a long-term asset, liquidating a long-term liability, or is otherwise unavailable for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted cash is included in other long-term assets. Otherwise, restricted cash is included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company acquired funds held in escrow to be used for future plugging and abandonment (“P&A”) obligations assumed through the EnVen Acquisition (as defined in Note 2 — Acquisitions and Divestitures). These escrow accounts required deposits of approximately $100.0 million, which was fully funded by EnVen (as defined in Note 2 — Acquisitions and Divestitures) prior to the consummation of the acquisition. This is reflected as “Restricted cash” within “Other long-term assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Notes Receivable, net — The Company holds two notes receivable with an aggregate face value of $66.2 million acquired by the Company as part of the EnVen Acquisition (as defined herein), which consist of commitments from the sellers of oil and natural gas properties related to the costs associated with P&A obligations (the “P&A Notes Receivable”). The P&A Notes Receivable are being accreted to their principal amounts and are presented as such, net of the related cumulative estimated credit losses, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company estimates the current expected credit losses related to its P&A Notes Receivable using the probability of default method based on the long-term credit ratings of the counterparties of the notes, which are currently considered “investment grade.” Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of the amount of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):
| September 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 13,631 |  | $ | 44,145 |
Restricted cash included in Other long-term assets |  | 101,760 |  |  | — |
Total cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash | $ | 115,391 |  | $ | 44,145 |
