Oil and Gas, Property and Equipment [Text Block] | 5. OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES Full Cost Method 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 September 30, 2024, the Company used $78.64 per barrel for oil and $2.21 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%. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded ceiling test write-downs of its oil and gas properties of $1.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively due to a reduction in the value of proved oil and natural gas reserves primarily as a result of a decrease in crude oil and natural gas prices, the divestment of properties, reserves revisions related to wells shut-in during the first quarter of 2024 and updates to the decline curves for certain wells.
