Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Principles of Consolidation As it pertains to the periods prior to completion of the Business Combination, the financial statements have been presented on a combined historical basis due to the Funds' prior common ownership and control. Prior to the Business Combination, the financial statements include the accounts of the Funds, all of which were commonly owned and controlled. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination. As it pertains to the period subsequent to completion of the Business Combination, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Company, and all other wholly owned subsidiaries created in connection with the Business Combination. References to the “Company” prior to October 24, 2022 refer to the combined business of the Funds and references after October 24, 2022 refer to the consolidated business of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. Basis of Presentation As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to October 24, 2022 reflect the Funds as limited partnerships, not as corporations. The primary financial impacts of the Transactions to the condensed consolidated financial statements were (i) reclassification of partnership capital accounts to equity accounts reflective of a corporation and (ii) income tax effects. Since the Funds were identified as entities under common control, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. All intercompany transactions within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company operates in one operating segment, which is oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. All of our operations are conducted in the geographic area of the United States. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. The Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion related to the oil and natural gas properties. Additional significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of derivative financial instrument, fair value of business combinations, asset retirement obligations, revenue receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Interim financial statements The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 is derived from audited combined consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Revenue Receivable Revenue receivable is comprised of accrued oil and natural gas sales. The operators remit payment for production directly to the Company. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding revenue receivable balance at the date of non-performance. The Company monitors this exposure primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. Revenue receivables are generally unsecured and typically received from the operator one to three months after production. The Company had an allowance for expected credit losses of $0.2 million at March 31, 2023, which was based on a historical loss rate. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2022 was immaterial. The Company considers forecasts of future economic conditions in the estimate of its expected credit losses, in particular whether there is an increase in the probability that the Company’s counterparties are unable to pay their obligations when due, and adjusts its allowance for expected credit losses, when necessary. Advance to Operators The Company participates in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells with other working interest partners. Due to the capital-intensive nature of oil and natural gas drilling activities, our partner operators may request advance payments from working interest partners for their share of the costs. The Company expects such advances to be applied by these operators against joint interest billings for its share of drilling operations within 90 days from when the advance is paid. Changes in advances to operators are presented as an investing outflow within capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties on the statement of cash flows. Oil and Natural Gas Properties The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities, as further defined under ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas (“ASC 932”). Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory leases that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development leases and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves. If the Company determines that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. Capitalized leasehold costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized drilling and development costs and integrated assets is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves. The Company recognized depletion expense of $33.8 million and $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Derivative Instruments- Commodity Derivatives The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company nets the fair value of the derivative instruments by counterparty in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets when the right of offset exists. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges. Derivative Instruments- Common Stock Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-operating gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the period during which the Company’s common stock was publicly traded, the fair value of the warrants was based on quoted prices in an active market. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion on fair value considerations. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined, and when collectability is probable. The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation, and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. Revenue is presented net of these costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated, and amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Non-operated Crude Oil and Natural Gas Revenues The Company’s proportionate share of production from non-operated properties is generally marketed at the discretion of the operators. For non-operated properties, the Company receives a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of sales proceeds which is net of transportation and production tax costs incurred by the operator, if any. Such non-operated revenues are recognized at the net amount of proceeds to be received by the Company during the month in which production occurs and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Proceeds are generally received by the Company within one to three months after the month in which production occurs. Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Revenues Under certain arrangements, the Company has the right to take a volume of processed residue gas and/or natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream customer’s processing plant in lieu of receiving a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of its natural gas production. The Company currently takes certain processed gas volumes in kind in lieu of monetary settlement but does not currently take NGL volumes in kind. When the Company elects to take volumes in kind, it pays third parties to transport the processed products it took in-kind to downstream delivery points, where it then sells to customers at prices applicable to those downstream markets. In such situations, revenues are recognized during the month in which control transfers to the customer at the delivery point and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Sales proceeds are generally received by the Company within one month after the month in which a sale has occurred. In these scenarios, gathering and processing costs and transportation expenses the Company incurs to transport the processed products to downstream customers are recorded in Lease Operating Expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: oil sales and natural gas sales. Substantially all of the Company’s oil and natural gas sales come from five geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas), the Haynesville Basin (Texas/Louisiana), the Denver-Julesburg “DJ” Basin (Colorado), and the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota). The following tables present the disaggregation of the Company’s oil revenues and natural gas revenues by basin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s financial statements on an accelerated basis over the awards’ vesting periods based on their grant date fair values. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation method to determine the fair value of certain performance stock units (“PSUs”) and a Binomial Lattice model for stock options. The Company recognizes forfeitures on stock-based compensation awards as they occur. Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which replaces the current “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Revenue receivables is the primary financial asset that is within the scope of the new guidance. A loss-rate method is applied to the receivables to estimate credit losses. The Company recognized a tax effected $0.1 million non-cash cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on its opening consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2023 to record an allowance for expected credit losses associated with the Company’s revenue receivables.
