Operating Segments

13. Operating Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as executive management. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income (loss) as shown in the table below. Interest income and expense, and income taxes are managed separately on a group basis. As of June 30, 2023, general and administrative costs and interest income were moved to the Corporate segment because they are entirely comprised of corporate expenses and are not allocated to the Upstream and Gas Gathering segments. To be consistent with this current presentation, the general administrative costs and interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been reclassed as well.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

a.The Upstream segment activities include acquisition, development and production of oil, natural gas, and other liquid reserves on properties within the United States;
b.The Gas Gathering segment partners with two other companies to operate a natural gas gathering system; and
c.The Corporate segment activities include general and administrative costs, interest income, and corporate listing and governance functions of the Company.

Segment activity as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
