Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements	Note A – Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements NATURE OF BUSINESS – Murphy Oil Corporation is an international oil and natural gas exploration and production company that conducts its business through various operating subsidiaries. The Company primarily produces oil and natural gas in the United States and Canada and conducts oil and natural gas exploration activities worldwide. In connection with the LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings, L.L.C., (LLOG) acquisition, we hold a 0.5% interest in two variable interest entities (VIEs), Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral LLC and Delta House Floating Production System (FPS) LLC (collectively Delta House). These VIEs have not been consolidated as Murphy is not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations. As of September 30, 2022, our maximum exposure to loss was $3.2 million (excluding operational impacts), which represents our net investment in Delta House. We have not provided any financial support to Delta House other than amounts previously required by our membership interest. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – In the opinion of Murphy’s management, the unaudited financial statements presented herein include all accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.). In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K report, as certain notes and other pertinent information have been abbreviated or omitted in this report. Financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Principles and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note B – New Accounting Principles and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Principles Adopted Income Taxes . In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific topics within the ASU. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2021 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements None affecting the Company.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers Nature of Goods and Services The Company explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (collectively oil and natural gas) in select basins around the globe. The Company’s revenue from sales of oil and natural gas production activities are primarily subdivided into two key geographic segments: the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, revenue from sales to customers is generated from three primary revenue streams: crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, and natural gas. For operated oil and natural gas production where the non-operated working interest owner does not take-in-kind its proportionate interest in the produced commodity, the Company acts as an agent for the working interest owner and recognizes revenue only for its own share of the commingled production. The exception to this is the reporting of the noncontrolling interest in MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM) as prescribed by ASC 810-10-45. U.S. - In the United States, the Company primarily produces oil and natural gas from fields in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas and in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Revenue is generally recognized when oil and natural gas are transferred to the customer at the delivery point. Revenue recognized is largely index based with price adjustments for floating market differentials. Canada - In Canada, contracts include long-term floating commodity index priced and natural gas physical forward sales fixed-price contracts. For the offshore business in Canada, contracts are based on index prices and revenue is recognized at the time of vessel load, based on the volumes on the bill of lading and point of custody transfer. The Company also purchases natural gas in Canada to meet certain sales commitments. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company reviews performance based on two key geographical segments and between onshore and offshore sources of revenue within these geographies.

Sales and purchases of natural gas are reported on a gross basis when Murphy takes control of the products and has risks and rewards of ownership. Contract Balances and Asset Recognition As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, receivables from contracts with customers, net of royalties and associated payables, on the balance sheet from continuing operations, were $210.1 million and $169.8 million, respectively. Payment terms for the Company’s sales vary across contracts and geographical regions, with the majority of the cash receipts required within 30 days of billing. Based on a forward-looking expected loss model in accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on receivables or contract assets arising from customer contracts during the reporting periods. The Company has not entered into any revenue contracts that have financing components as of September 30, 2022. The Company does not employ sales incentive strategies such as commissions or bonuses for obtaining sales contracts. For the periods presented, the Company did not identify any assets to be recognized associated with the costs to obtain a contract with a customer. Performance Obligations The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a commodity to a customer. Judgment is required to determine whether some customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of commodities. As a result of this assessment for the Company, each unit of measure of the specified commodity is considered to represent a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the commodity. For contracts with market or index-based pricing, which represent the majority of sales contracts, the Company has elected the allocation exception and allocates the variable consideration to each single performance obligation in the contract. As a result, there is no price allocation to unsatisfied remaining performance obligations for delivery of commodity product in subsequent periods. The Company has entered into several long-term, fixed-price contracts in Canada. The underlying reason for entering a fixed price contract is generally unrelated to anticipated future prices or other observable data and serves a particular purpose in the Company’s long-term strategy. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had the following sales contracts in place which are expected to generate revenue from sales to customers for a period of more than 12 months starting at the inception of the contract: Current Long-Term Contracts Outstanding at September 30, 2022 Location Commodity End Date Description Approximate Volumes U.S. Natural Gas and NGL Q2 2023 Deliveries from dedicated acreage in Eagle Ford As produced Canada Natural Gas Q4 2022 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 8 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2022 Contracts to sell natural gas at CAD fixed prices 5 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2022 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD fixed pricing 20 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2023 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 25 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2023 Contracts to sell natural gas at CAD fixed prices 38 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 31 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at CAD fixed prices 100 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at CAD fixed prices 34 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD fixed pricing 15 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2026 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 49 MMCFD Canada NGL Q3 2023 Contracts to sell natural gas liquids at CAD pricing 952 BOED Fixed price contracts are accounted for as normal sales and purchases for accounting purposes.

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Property, Plant and Equipment	Note D – Property, Plant and Equipment Exploratory Wells Under FASB guidance exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had total capitalized exploratory well costs for continuing operations pending the determination of proved reserves of $181.5 million. The following table reflects the net changes in capitalized exploratory well costs during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. (Thousands of dollars) 2022 2021 Beginning balance at January 1 $ 179,481 181,616 Additions pending the determination of proved reserves 22,275 5,007 Capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense (20,295) — Balance at September 30 $ 181,461 186,623 The capitalized well costs charged to expense during 2022 represent expenditures related to the Cutthroat-1 exploration well in block SEAL-M-428 in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin offshore Brazil. There were no hydrocarbons found in this well. The following table provides an aging of capitalized exploratory well costs based on the date the drilling was completed for each individual well and the number of projects for which exploratory well costs have been capitalized. The projects are aged based on the last well drilled in the project.

In all geographical areas, either further appraisal or development drilling is planned and/or development studies/plans are in various stages of completion. Impairments There were no impairments in the first nine months of 2022. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $171.3 million for Terra Nova due to the status, including agreements with partners, of operating and production plans at end of the first quarter 2021. Later in 2021, the Company sanctioned an asset life extension project and acquired an additional 7.525% working interest at Terra Nova following a commercial agreement to extend the life of the field. Divestments During the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed the disposition of its 62.5% operated working interest of the Thunder Hawk field for a purchase price of $20.0 million, less closing adjustments of $22.2 million, resulting in a total net payment to the buyer of $2.2 million. Additionally, the buyer assumed the asset retirement obligations of approximately $47.9 million. An $18.8 million gain on sale was recorded in the period related to the sale. Also in the third quarter, the Company completed the disposition of the CA-2 asset in Brunei for contingent consideration valued at approximately $8.7 million. No gain or loss was recorded related to this sale. During the first quarter of 2021, the King’s Quay FPS was sold to ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC (ArcLight) for proceeds of $267.7 million, which reimbursed the Company for previously incurred capital expenditures.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Incentive Plans	Note I – Incentive Plans The costs resulting from all share-based and cash-based incentive plans are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations using a fair value-based measurement method over the periods that the awards vest. The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and certain other employees. Cash awards under the AIP are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee. The 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2020 Long-Term Plan) authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s Common Stock to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock options (nonqualified or incentive), stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSU), performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives. The 2020 Long-Term Plan expires in 2030. A total of five million shares are issuable during the life of the 2020 Long-Term Plan. Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. Share awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an award shall not count as shares issued under the Plan. During the first nine months of 2022, the Committee granted the following awards from the 2020 Long-Term Plan: 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Type of Award Number of Awards Granted Grant Date Grant Date Fair Value Valuation Methodology Performance Based RSUs 1 580,600 February 1, 2022 $ 47.37 Monte Carlo Performance Based RSUs 1 15,100 July 1, 2022 $ 37.77 Monte Carlo Time Based RSUs 2 273,400 February 1, 2022 $ 32.12 Average Stock Price Time Based RSUs 2 5,000 July 1, 2022 $ 29.80 Average Stock Price Cash Settled RSUs 3 674,300 February 1, 2022 $ 32.12 Average Stock Price 1 Performance based RSUs are scheduled to vest over a three year performance period. 2 Time based RSUs are generally scheduled to vest over three years from the date of grant. 3 Cash settled RSUs are generally scheduled to vest over three years from the date of grant. The Company also has a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors that permits the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options or a combination thereof to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors. The 2021 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (2021 NED Plan) permits the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options or a combination thereof to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors. The Company currently has outstanding incentive awards issued to Directors under the 2021 NED Plan and the 2018 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. All awards on or after May 12, 2021, were made under the 2021 NED Plan.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note K – Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate is calculated as the amount of income tax expense (benefit) divided by income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s effective income tax rates were as follows: 2022 2021 Three months ended September 30, 21.7% 21.1% Nine months ended September 30, 21.2% 28.6% The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, was above the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to several factors, including: the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate; U.S. state tax expense; and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available. These impacts were partially offset by no tax applied to the pre-tax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, was above the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to income generated in Canada, which has a higher tax rate, offset by no tax applied to the pre-tax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, which has the impact of decreasing the effective tax rate on income. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was above the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to several factors, including: the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate; U.S. state tax expense; and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available. These impacts were mostly offset by no tax applied to the pre-tax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, was above the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, which has the impact of increasing the effective tax rate on an overall loss. The Company’s tax returns in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits often take years to complete and settle.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Note L – Financial Instruments and Risk Management Murphy uses derivative instruments, such as swap and zero-cost commodity price collar contracts, to manage certain risks related to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Company has a risk management control system to monitor commodity price risks and any derivatives obtained to manage a portion of such risks. For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Commodity Price Risks The Company has entered into crude oil swap and collar contracts. Under the swaps contracts, which mature monthly, the Company pays the average monthly price in effect and receives the fixed contract price on a notional amount of sales volume, thereby fixing the price for the commodity sold. Under the collar contracts, which also mature monthly, the Company purchased a put option and sold a call option with no net premiums paid to or received from counterparties. Upon maturity, collar contracts require payments by the Company if the NYMEX average closing price is above the ceiling price or payments to the Company if the NYMEX average closing price is below the floor price. At September 30, 2022, volumes per day associated with outstanding crude oil derivative contracts and the weighted average prices for these contracts are as follows: 2022 NYMEX WTI swap contracts: Volume per day (Bbl): 20,000 Price per Bbl: $ 44.88 NYMEX WTI collar contracts: Volume per day (Bbl): 25,000 Price per Bbl: Average Ceiling: $ 75.20 Average Floor: $ 63.24 Foreign Currency Exchange Risks The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk associated with operations in countries outside the U.S. The Company had no foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding at September 30, 2022 and 2021. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in the following table. (Thousands of dollars) Asset (Liability) Derivatives Fair Value Type of Derivative Contract Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Commodity swaps Accounts payable $ (84,933) (239,882) Commodity collars Accounts payable (20,954) (19,533) Commodity collars Accounts receivable — 4,280 For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in the following table.

The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants. The carrying value of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are presented in the following table. September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (Thousands of dollars) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Commodity collars $ — — — — — 4,280 — 4,280 $ — — — — — 4,280 — 4,280 Liabilities: Commodity swaps $ — 84,933 — 84,933 — 239,882 — 239,882 Commodity collars — 20,954 — 20,954 — 19,533 — 19,533 Contingent consideration — — 212,860 212,860 — — 196,151 196,151 Nonqualified employee savings plan 15,642 — — 15,642 16,962 — — 16,962 $ 15,642 105,887 212,860 334,389 16,962 259,415 196,151 472,528 The fair value of commodity (WTI crude oil) swaps was based on active market quotes for WTI crude oil. The fair value of commodity (WTI crude oil) collars was determined using an option pricing model. The before tax income effect of changes in the fair value of crude oil derivative contracts is recorded in Gain (Loss) on derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The contingent consideration, related to 2018 and 2019 U.S. Gulf of Mexico acquisitions, is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the pre-tax income effect of changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration was an expense of $98.5 million and $105.1 million respectively and is recorded in Other operating (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the pre-tax income effect of changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration exclude cash payments of $81.7 million, which reduced the value of the contingent consideration liability. Contingent consideration is payable annually in years 2022 to 2026. The nonqualified employee savings plan is an unfunded savings plan through which participants seek a return via phantom investments in equity securities and/or mutual funds. The fair value of this liability was based on quoted prices for these equity securities and mutual funds. The pre-tax income effect of changes in the fair value of the nonqualified employee savings plan is recorded in Selling and general expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
Environmental and Other Contingencies	Note N – Environmental and Other Contingencies The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action both in the United States and throughout the world. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax legislation changes, including tax rate changes, and retroactive tax claims; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and natural gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Given the factors involved in various government actions, including political considerations, it is difficult to predict their likelihood, the form they may take, or the effect they may have on the Company. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS – Murphy and other companies in the oil and natural gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations dealing with the environment and protection of health and safety. The principal environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which Murphy is subject address such matters as the generation, storage, handling, use, disposal and remediation of petroleum products, wastewater and hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of such materials to the environment, including greenhouse gas emissions; wildlife, habitat and water protection; the placement, operation and decommissioning of production equipment; and the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities where our operations are located. These laws and regulations also generally require permits for existing operations, as well as the construction or development of new operations and the decommissioning facilities once production has ceased. Violation of environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result. Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to recent SEC amendments to this item, the Company will be using a threshold of $1.0 million for such proceedings. There continues to be an increase in regulatory oversight of the oil and gas industry at the federal level, with a focus on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions (including methane emissions). For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 contains provisions that impose fees for excess methane emissions from petroleum and natural gas facilities. In addition, there have been a number of executive orders issued that address climate change, including creation of climate-related task forces, directives to federal agencies to procure carbon-free electricity, and a goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero emissions U.S. economy by 2050. Executive orders have also been issued related to oil and gas activities on federal lands, infrastructure and environmental justice. In addition, an international climate agreement (the Paris Agreement) was agreed to at the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016. Although the U.S. officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020, the U.S. has since rejoined the Paris Agreement, which became effective for the U.S. on February 19, 2021. The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. Hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where these wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under Murphy’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to investigate, remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to investigate and clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. Certain of these historical properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses. The Company has retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters at formerly owned U.S. refineries that were sold in 2011. The Company also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures related to past operations of these refineries. Murphy USA Inc. has retained any environmental exposure associated with Murphy’s former U.S. marketing operations that were spun-off in August 2013. The Company believes costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period. There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and additional expenditures could be required at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future investigation and remediation costs incurred at known or currently unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. LEGAL MATTERS – Murphy and its subsidiaries are engaged in a number of other legal proceedings, all of which Murphy considers routine and incidental to its business. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of environmental and legal matters referred to in this note is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.
