Supplemental Oil And Gas Information

15. Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (unaudited)

 

Information with respect to the Company’s oil and gas producing activities is presented in the following tables. Estimates of reserves quantities, as well as future production and discounted cash flows before income taxes, were determined by LaRoche Petroleum Consultants Ltd.  All of the Company’s reserves were located in the United States.

The Company’s Proved Undeveloped Reserves at December 31, 2015 included no locations as compared to 27 locations at December 31, 2014.  During 2015, all Proved Undeveloped locations were removed from the Company’s Proved Reserves primarily due to the low oil prices experienced during 2015.

Estimated future net cash flows represent an estimate of future net revenues from the production of proved reserves using average sales prices, along with estimates of the operating costs, production taxes and future development and abandonment cost (less salvage value) necessary to produce such reserves. Future income taxes were calculated by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to pre-tax future net cash flows, net of the tax basis of the properties and utilizing available tax loss carryforwards related to oil and gas operations. The oil prices used for December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, were $43.98,  $88.34,  $90.11 per barrel of oil respectively.  The Company’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were measured by using commodity prices based on the twelve month unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for the period January through December.  No deduction has been made for depreciation, depletion or any indirect costs such as general corporate overhead or interest expense.
