5. OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES

 

Divestitures

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no divestitures of oil and gas properties.

 

Ceiling Test and Impairment

 

The reserves used in the ceiling test incorporate assumptions regarding pricing and discount rates over which management has no influence in the determination of present value. In the calculation of the ceiling test as of March 31, 2023, the Company used $90.97 per barrel for oil and $5.95 per one million British Thermal Units (MMbtu) for natural gas (as further adjusted for property, specific gravity, quality, local markets and distance from markets) to compute the future cash flows of the Company’s producing properties. The discount factor used was 10%.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not record ceiling test write downs of its oil and natural gas properties.
