Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] |
Asset Retirement Obligations | 15. Asset Retirement Obligations Asset retirement obligations are estimated by management based on Epsilon’s net ownership interest in all wells and the gathering system, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon such assets and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods, and the forecast risk free cost of capital. Epsilon has estimated the value of its total asset retirement obligations to be $3.5 million as of June 30, 2024 ($3.5 million at December 31, 2023). Each year we review, and to the extent necessary, revise our asset retirement obligations estimates in accordance with recent activity and current service costs.
