Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited) | N ote 18. Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited) Capitalized Costs Relating to Oil and Natural Gas Producing Activities The total amount of capitalized costs relating to oil and natural gas producing activities and the total amount of related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization is as follows at the dates indicated. December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 (In thousands) Evaluated oil and natural gas properties $ 775,167 $ 797,005 Support equipment and facilities 142,208 140,023 Accumulated depletion, depreciation, and amortization (602,861 ) (136,747 ) Total $ 314,514 $ 800,281 Costs Incurred in Oil and Natural Gas Property Acquisition, Exploration and Development Activities Costs incurred in property acquisition, exploration and development activities were as follows for the periods indicated: For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (In thousands) Property acquisition costs, proved $ 42 $ 150,871 Property acquisition costs, unproved (49,307 ) 7,674 Exploration — — Development 29,543 71,460 Total $ (19,722 ) $ 230,005 Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows from Proved Reserves As required by the FASB and SEC, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows presented below is computed by applying first-day-of-the-month average prices, year-end costs and legislated tax rates and a discount factor of 10 percent to proved reserves. We do not believe the standardized measure provides a reliable estimate of the Company’s expected future cash flows to be obtained from the development and production of its oil and gas properties or of the value of its proved oil and gas reserves. The standardized measure is prepared on the basis of certain prescribed assumptions including first-day-of-the-month average prices, which represent discrete points in time and therefore may cause significant variability in cash flows from year to year as prices change. Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” oil and natural gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statement disclosures. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas that by analysis of geoscience and engineering data can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. We engaged CG&A to prepare our reserves estimates for all of our estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2020 and 2019. All proved reserves are located in the United States and all prices are held constant in accordance with SEC rules. The weighted-average benchmark product prices used for valuing the reserves are based upon the average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the period January through December of each year presented: 2020 2019 Oil ($/Bbl): WTI (1) $ 39.57 $ 55.69 NGL ($/Bbl): WTI (1) $ 39.57 $ 55.69 Natural Gas ($/MMbtu): Henry Hub (2) $ 1.99 $ 2.58 (1) The weighted average WTI price was adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees, and a regional price differential. (2) The weighted average Henry Hub price was adjusted by lease for energy content, compression charges, transportation fees, and regional price differentials. The following tables set forth estimates of the net reserves for the periods indicated: For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Oil Gas NGLs Total (MBbls) (MMcf) (MBbls) (MBoe) Proved developed and undeveloped reserves: Beginning of year 70,772 377,869 29,252 163,002 Extensions and discoveries 291 655 61 461 Production (3,887 ) (27,473 ) (1,725 ) (10,190 ) Revision of previous estimates (20,500 ) (76,912 ) (6,104 ) (39,424 ) End of year 46,676 274,139 21,484 113,849 Proved developed reserves: Beginning of year 53,476 320,731 23,646 130,577 End of year 35,613 252,218 19,009 96,658 Proved undeveloped reserves: Beginning of year 17,296 57,138 5,606 32,425 End of year 11,063 21,921 2,475 17,191 For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Oil Gas NGLs Total (MBbls) (MMcf) (MBbls) (MBoe) Proved developed and undeveloped reserves: Beginning of period 69,624 293,959 21,572 140,189 Extensions and discoveries 301 576 44 441 Purchase of minerals in place 17,429 202,409 18,533 69,697 Production (3,498 ) (26,489 ) (1,343 ) (9,256 ) Revision of previous estimates (13,084 ) (92,586 ) (9,554 ) (38,069 ) End of period 70,772 377,869 29,252 163,002 Proved developed reserves: Beginning of period 54,147 232,110 17,324 110,156 End of period 53,476 320,731 23,646 130,577 Proved undeveloped reserves: Beginning of period 15,477 61,849 4,248 30,033 End of period 17,296 57,138 5,606 32,425 Noteworthy amounts included in the categories of proved reserve changes in the above tables include: • The 49.2 MMBoe reduction in reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily due to a 50.1 MMBoe downward pricing revision offset by 10.7 MMBoe upward revision primarily due to lower maintenance costs and Special Royalty Relief on our offshore Southern California assets. We added 0.46 MMBoe during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to extensions and discoveries. • The 22.8 MMBoe increase in reserves for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the Merger in which we acquired 69.7 MMBoe partially offset by downward pricing revision of a 25.9 MMBoe and a downward revision of 12.1 MMBoe due to updated well performance data and future anticipated maintenance cost increases. See Note 4 for additional information on acquisitions. A variety of methodologies are used to determine our proved reserve estimates. The principal methodologies employed are reservoir simulation, decline curve analysis, volumetric, material balance, advance production type curve matching, petro-physics/log analysis and analogy. Some combination of these methods is used to determine reserve estimates in substantially all of our fields. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (In thousands) Future cash inflows $ 2,410,260 $ 5,146,288 Future production costs (1) (1,589,945 ) (2,917,262 ) Future development costs (1) (375,146 ) (567,423 ) Future income tax expense — — Future net cash flows for estimated timing of cash flows 445,169 1,661,603 10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows (147,358 ) (745,042 ) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 297,811 $ 916,561 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2020, onshore abandonment costs are included in future production cost and offshore abandonment costs are included in future development costs.
