Note 15 – Supplemental Oil Reserve Information (Unaudited)

 

Results of operations from oil producing activities

 

The following table shows the results of operations from the Company’s oil producing activities.  Results of operations from these activities are determined using historical revenues, production costs and depreciation and depletion. The results of operations from the Company’s oil producing activities below exclude non-oil revenues, general and administrative expenses, interest income and interest expense. Income tax expense was determined by applying the statutory rates to pretax operating results.

Estimated quantities of proved reserves

 

Our ownership interests in estimated quantities of proved oil reserves and changes in net proved reserves all of which are located in the United States are summarized below.  Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Reserves are stated in barrels (stb) of oil. Geological and engineering estimates by MHA Petroleum Consultants, LLC of proved oil reserves at one point in time are highly interpretive, inherently imprecise and subject to ongoing revisions that may be substantial in amount. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that the reserve estimates are accurate, by their nature reserve estimates are generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

Changes in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

 

The following is a summary of a Standardized Measure of discounted net future cash flows related to the Company’s proved oil reserves. The information presented is based on a calculation of estimated proved reserves using discounted cash flows based on the 12-month average price for oil calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month prior period. The additions to estimated proved reserves from new discoveries and extensions could vary significantly from year to year. Additionally, the impact of changes to reflect current prices and costs of reserves proved in prior years could also be significant.
