Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the direction of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, controls and procedures have been established by Murphy to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board. Based on their evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, as of December 31, 2023, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Murphy Oil Corporation have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Murphy Oil Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Murphy’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023. KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has made an independent assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 and their report is included on page 64 of this Form 10-K report. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) appropriate in the circumstances and include some amounts based on informed estimates and judgments, with consideration given to materiality. An independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and provides an objective, independent opinion about the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appoints the independent registered public accounting firm; ratification of the appointment is solicited annually from the shareholders. KPMG LLP’s opinion covering the Company’s consolidated financial statements can be found on page 62. The Board of Directors appoints an Audit Committee annually to implement and to support the Board’s oversight function of the Company’s financial reporting, accounting policies, internal controls and independent registered public accounting firm. This Committee is composed solely of directors who are not employees of the Company. The Committee meets routinely with representatives of management, the Company’s audit staff and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls, the quality and clarity of its financial reporting, the scope and results of independent and internal audits, and to fulfill other responsibilities included in the Committee’s Charter. The independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s audit staff have unrestricted access to the Committee, without management presence, to discuss audit findings and other financial matters. REPORT OF MANAGEMENT – INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All internal control systems have inherent limitations, and therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of consolidated financial statements. Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023. KPMG LLP has performed an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and their opinion thereon can be found on page 64. 61 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Murphy Oil Corporation: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Murphy Oil Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 23, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Estimated oil and gas reserves used in the depletion of producing oil and gas properties As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company calculates depletion expense related to producing oil and gas properties using the units-of-production method. Under this method, costs to acquire interests in oil and gas properties and costs for the drilling and completion efforts for exploratory wells that find proved reserves and for development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, along with equipment and facilities that support production, are amortized to expense by the units-of-production method. The Company’s internal petroleum reserve engineers estimate proved oil and gas reserves and the Company engages third-party petroleum reserve specialists to perform an 62 Table of Contents independent assessment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense of $861.6 million. We identified the assessment of the estimated oil and gas reserves used in the depletion of producing oil and gas properties as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company’s estimate of total proved oil and gas reserves, which is an input to the depletion expense calculation. Estimating proved oil and gas reserves requires the expertise of professional petroleum reserve engineers based on their estimates of forecasted production, forecasted operating costs, future development costs, and oil and gas prices. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s depletion calculation process, including controls related to the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves. We evaluated (1) the professional qualifications of the internal petroleum reserve engineers, third-party petroleum reserve specialists, and external engineering firm, (2) the knowledge, skills, ability of the Company’s internal petroleum reserve engineers and third-party petroleum reserve specialists, and (3) the relationship of the third-party petroleum reserve specialists and external engineering firm to the Company. We analyzed and assessed the calculation of depletion expense for compliance with industry and regulatory standards. We compared the forecasted production assumptions used by the Company to historical production rates. We compared the forecasted operating costs to historical results. We also evaluated the forecasted nature and timing of future development costs by obtaining an understanding of the development projects and comparing the development projects with the available development plans. We assessed the oil and gas prices utilized by the internal petroleum reserve engineers by comparing them to publicly available prices and recalculated the relevant market differentials. In addition, we read and considered the report of the Company’s third-party petroleum reserve specialists in connection with our evaluation of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserve estimates. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1952. Houston, Texas February 23, 2024 63 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors Murphy Oil Corporation: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Murphy Oil Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 23, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management - Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLP Houston, Texas February 23, 2024 64 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page 70. 69 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements of Murphy Oil Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries (Murphy/the Company) on pages 70-102 of the Form 10-K report. Note A – Significant Accounting Polices NATURE OF BUSINESS – Murphy Oil Corporation is an international oil and gas 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 gas exploration activities worldwide. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and are presented in conformity with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Murphy Oil Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in affiliates in which the Company owns from 20 % to 50 % are accounted for by the equity method. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, Murphy reports 100 % of the sales volume, revenues, costs, assets and liabilities including the 20 % noncontrolling interest in MP GOM in accordance with accounting for noncontrolling interest as prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-45, “Consolidations”. Other investments are generally carried at cost. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES – Preparing the financial statements of the Company in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting of amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenues from sales of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customer; the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those commodities. The Company measures revenue based on consideration specified in a contract and excludes taxes and other amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties, in which Murphy shares in the undivided interest with other producers, are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period. Natural gas imbalances occur when the Company’s actual natural gas sales volumes differ from its proportional share of production from the well. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for these natural gas imbalances. The Company records a liability for natural gas imbalances when it has sold more than its working interest of natural gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the liabilities for natural gas balancing were immaterial. Gains and losses on asset disposals or retirements are included in net income/(loss) as a component of revenues. CASH EQUIVALENTS – Short-term investments, which include government securities and other instruments with government securities as collateral, that are highly liquid and have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. MARKETABLE SECURITIES – The Company classifies investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company does not have any investments classified as trading securities. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive loss. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into earnings over the life of the related available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Unrealized losses considered to be other than temporary are recognized in earnings. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of investment securities is determined by available market prices. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s accounts receivable primarily consisted of amounts owed to the Company by customers for sales of crude oil and natural gas and operating costs related to joint venture partners working interest share. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on these receivables. The Company reviews this allowance for adequacy at least quarterly and bases its assessment on a combination of current information about its customers, joint venture partners and historical write-off experience. Any trade accounts receivable balances written off are 70 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note A – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not experienced any significant credit-related losses in the past three years. INVENTORIES – Amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unsold crude oil production and materials and supplies associated with oil and natural gas production operations. Unsold crude oil production is carried in inventory at the lower of cost (applied on a first-in, first-out basis and includes costs incurred to bring the inventory to its existing condition), or market. Materials and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or estimated market value and generally consist of tubulars and other drilling equipment. See Note E . PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – The Company uses the successful efforts method to account for exploration and development expenditures. Leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized. If proved reserves are found on undeveloped property, the leasehold cost is transferred to proved properties. Costs of undeveloped leases associated with unproved properties are expensed over the life of the leases. Exploratory well costs are capitalized pending determination about whether proved reserves have been found. In certain cases, a determination of whether a drilled exploratory well has found proved reserves cannot be made immediately. This is generally due to the need for a major capital expenditure to produce and/or evacuate the hydrocarbon(s) found. The determination of whether to make such a capital expenditure is usually dependent on whether further exploratory or appraisal wells find a sufficient quantity of additional reserves. The Company continues to capitalize exploratory well costs in “Property, plant and equipment” 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. The Company reevaluates its capitalized drilling costs at least annually to ascertain whether drilling costs continue to qualify for ongoing capitalization. Other exploratory costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are charged to expense as incurred. Development costs, including unsuccessful development wells, are capitalized. Interest is capitalized on significant development projects that are expected to take one year or more to complete. Oil and natural gas properties are evaluated by field for potential impairment. Other properties are evaluated for impairment on a specific asset basis or in groups of similar assets as applicable. An impairment is recognized when there are indications that the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of an asset are less than its carrying value. If an impairment occurs, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to fair value. There were no impairments recognized in 2023 and 2022. The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations (ARO) equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The ARO liability is initially recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when a well is drilled, or the asset is placed in service. The ARO liability is estimated by the Company’s engineers using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the original liability. The liability is increased over time to reflect the change in its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related long-lived asset. The Company reevaluates the adequacy of its recorded ARO liability at least annually. Actual costs of asset retirements such as dismantling oil and natural gas production facilities and site restoration are charged against the related liability. Any difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an ARO and the recorded liability is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s earnings. See Note G for further discussion. Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties are recorded based on units of production. Unit rates are computed for unamortized development drilling and completion costs using proved developed reserves and acquisition costs are amortized over proved reserves. Proved reserves are estimated by the Company’s engineers and are subject to future revisions based on the availability of additional information. CAPITALIZED INTEREST – Interest associated with borrowings from third parties is capitalized on significant oil and natural gas development projects when the expected development period extends for one year or more. Interest capitalized is credited in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and is added to the cost of the underlying asset for the development project in “Property, plant and equipment” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized interest is amortized over the useful life of the asset in the same manner as other development costs. LEASES – At inception, contracts are assessed for the presence of a lease according to criteria laid out by ASC 842, “Leases”. If a lease is present, further criteria is assessed to determine if the lease should be classified as an 71 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note A – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) operating or finance lease. Operating leases are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Operating lease assets” with the corresponding lease liabilities presented in “Operating lease liabilities” and “Non-current operating lease liabilities”. Finance lease assets (related to Brunei) are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Property, plant and equipment”, with the corresponding liabilities presented in “Current maturities of long-term debt, finance lease” and “Long-term debt, including finance lease obligation”. Generally, lease liabilities are recognized at commencement and based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease assets are then recognized based on the value of the lease liabilities. Where implicit lease rates are not determinable, the minimum lease payments are discounted using the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rates. Operating leases are expensed according to their nature and recognized in “Lease operating expenses”, “Selling and general expenses” or capitalized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Finance leases are depreciated with the relevant expenses recognized in “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” and “Interest expense, net” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES – A liability for environmental matters is established when it is probable that an environmental obligation exists, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of reasonably estimated costs, the most likely amount will be recorded, or if no amount is most likely, the minimum of the range is used. Related expenditures are charged against the liability. Environmental remediation liabilities have not been discounted for the time value of future expected payments. Environmental expenditures that have future economic benefit are capitalized. INCOME TAXES – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on available evidence including assumptions of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and other pertinent factors. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period. The accounting rules for income tax uncertainties permit recognition of income tax benefits only when they are more likely than not to be realized. The Company includes potential penalties and interest for uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. FOREIGN CURRENCY – Local currency is the functional currency used for recording operations in Canada and former refining and marketing activities in the United Kingdom. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency used to record all other operations. Exchange gains or losses from transactions in a currency other than the functional currency are included in earnings as part of interest and other income (loss). Gains or losses from translating foreign functional currencies into U.S. dollars are included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” in Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. 72 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note A – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The fair value of a derivative instrument is recognized as an asset or liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge or decide that the contract is not a hedge for accounting purposes, and thenceforth, recognize changes in the fair value of the contract in earnings. Sale and purchase contracts in the normal course of business are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether a derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge is recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item is recognized currently in earnings. If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued, and the gain or loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” is recognized immediately in earnings. All commodity price derivatives for the periods provided are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges and therefore changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is determined using various techniques depending on the availability of observable inputs. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants. See Note O . STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Equity-Settled Awards – The fair value of awarded stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based compensation that are settled with Company shares is determined based on a combination of management assumptions and the market value of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) that are equity settled, and expense is recognized over the three -year vesting period. The fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units is determined based on the price of Company stock on the date of grant and expense is recognized over the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for computing the fair value of equity-settled stock options. The primary assumptions made by management include the expected life of the stock option award and the expected volatility of Murphy’s common stock price. The Company uses both historical data and current information to support its assumptions. Stock option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of two or three years . The Company estimates the number of stock options and PSUs that will not vest and adjusts its compensation expense accordingly. Differences between estimated and actual vested amounts are accounted for as an adjustment to expense, when known. Cash-Settled Awards – The Company accounts for stock appreciation rights (SARs) and cash-settled restricted time-based stock units (CRSUs) as liability awards. Expense associated with these awards is recognized over the vesting period based on the latest available estimate of the fair value of the awards, which is generally determined using a Black-Scholes method for SARs and the period-end price of the Company’s common stock for time-based CRSUs. When SARs are exercised and when CRSUs settle, the Company adjusts previously recorded expense to the final amounts paid out in cash for these awards. See Note I . 73 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note A – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS – The Company recognizes the funded status (the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation) of its defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the funded status which have not yet been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations are recorded net of tax in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”. The remaining amounts in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” include net actuarial losses and prior service (cost) credit. See Note J . NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE – Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for each reporting period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for each reporting period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share when a net loss occurs, as the inclusion would have the effect of reducing the diluted loss per share . Note B – New Accounting Principles and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Principles Adopted None affecting the Company. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The update requires financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Murphy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023 the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . The standard becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The standard requires additional disclosures about operating segments, including segment expense information provided to the chief operating decision maker, and extends certain disclosure requirements to interim periods. The standard does not affect our determination of significant segments. Murphy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. 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 is 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 GOM as prescribed by GAAP. 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. Revenue is generally recognized when oil and natural gas is 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. 74 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued) Disaggregation of Revenue The Company reviews performance based on two key geographical segments and between onshore and offshore sources of revenue within these geographies. The Company’s revenues and other income for each of the three year presented were as follows.

In 2022, the Company included additional line items on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations to report “Sales of purchased natural gas” and “Costs of purchased natural gas”. Purchases of natural gas are reported on a gross basis when Murphy takes control of the product and has risks and rewards of ownership. Sales of natural gas are reported when the contractual performance obligations are satisfied. This occurs at the time the product is delivered to a third party purchaser at the contractually determinable price. 75 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued) Contract Balances and Asset Recognition As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, receivables from contracts with customers, net of royalties and associated payables, on the balance sheet from continuing operations, were $ 193.7 million and $ 201.1 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 December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. 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 December 31, 2023, the Company had the following sales contracts in place which are expected to generate revenue from sales to customers for a period over 12 months starting at the inception of the contract: Long-Term Contracts Outstanding at December 31, 2023 Location Commodity End Date Description Approximate Volumes U.S. Natural Gas and NGL Q1 2030 Deliveries from dedicated acreage in Eagle Ford As produced Canada Natural Gas Q4 2025 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 25 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 pricing 124 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD fixed pricing 25 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2024 Contracts to sell natural gas at CAD index pricing 28 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2026 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 49 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2027 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 30 MMCFD Canada Natural Gas Q4 2028 Contracts to sell natural gas at USD index pricing 10 MMCFD Fixed price contracts are accounted for as normal sales and purchases for accounting purposes. 76 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note D – Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment assets for the respective periods are presented as follows: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (Thousands of dollars) Cost Net Cost Net Exploration and production ¹ $ 21,228,490 $ 8,201,475 2 $ 20,567,489 $ 8,204,463 2 Corporate and other 132,092 23,722 150,498 23,553 Property, plant and equipment $ 21,360,582 $ 8,225,197 $ 20,717,987 $ 8,228,016 ¹ Includes unproved mineral rights as follows: $ 351,000 $ 228,329 $ 476,981 $ 344,507 2 Includes $ 15,356 in 2023 and $ 18,319 in 2022 related to administrative assets and support equipment.

No gain or loss was recorded related to this transaction, and the effective date of the transaction was March 1, 2023. 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 $ 23.1 million, resulting in a total net payment to the buyer of $ 3.1 million. Additionally, the buyer assumed the asset retirement obligations of approximately $ 47.9 million. A $ 17.9 million gain on sale was recorded in the period related to the sale. In September 2022, the Company completed the disposition of the Block CA-2 asset in Brunei for contingent consideration valued at approximately $ 8.7 million. No gain or loss was recorded related to this sale.

The Company also has a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that permits the offer and sale of debt and/or equity securities through October 15, 2024. In November 2022, the Company entered into a $ 800 million revolving credit facility, and the previous revolving credit facility has been terminated effective November 2022. The RCF is a senior unsecured guaranteed facility which expires on November 17, 2027. On the date the Company achieves certain credit ratings (Investment Grade Ratings Date), certain covenants will be modified as set forth in the RCF. In addition, prior to Investment Grade Ratings Date, the Company will be required to comply with a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 x and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 x. From and after the Investment Grade Ratings Date, the Company will be required to comply with a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capitalization of 60%. Borrowings under the RCF bear interest at rates based on either the “Alternate Base Rate”, the “Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Rate”, or the “Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate”, respectively, plus the “Applicable Rate”. The “Alternate Base Rate” of interest is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the New York Federal Reserve Bank (NYFRB) Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day) plus 1 %. The “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” of interest is equal to (a) the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period, plus (b) 0.10 %. The “Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate” of interest is equal to (a) the Daily Simple SOFR, plus (b) 0.10 %. The “Applicable Rate” of interest means, for any day, the applicable rate per annum based upon the ratings of Moody’s and S&P, respectively. The Company incurred $ 14.4 million in transaction costs and recorded the amount to “Deferred charges and other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the RCF. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the RCF and $ 3.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the borrowing capacity of the RCF. At December 31, 2023, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the facility would have been 7.70 %. At December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the RCF. In November 2023, the Company tendered a total of $ 249.5 million of its 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2029 Notes, retiring $ 250 million in aggregate principal.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates primarily to tax assets arising in foreign tax jurisdictions that in the judgment of management at the present time are more likely than not to be unrealized. The valuation allowance increased $ 10.9 million in 2023, related all to non-U.S. items. Subsequent reductions of the valuation allowance are expected to be reported as reductions of tax expense assuming no offsetting change in the deferred tax asset. The Company has a U.S. net operating loss carryforward of $ 1.7 billion at year-end 2023 with a corresponding deferred tax asset of $ 357.5 million. The Company believes the U.S. net operating loss being carried forward will more likely than not be utilized in future periods prior to expirations in 2036 and 2037. Other Information Currently, the Company considers $ 100 million of Canada’s past foreign earnings not permanently reinvested, with an accompanying $ 5 million liability. At December 31, 2023, $ 1.5 billion of past foreign earnings are considered permanently reinvested. The Company closely and routinely monitors these reinvestment positions considering underlying facts and circumstances pertinent to our business and the future operation of the Company. Uncertain Income Tax Positions The financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon ultimate settlement. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain income tax positions are included in “Other taxes payable” and “Deferred credits and other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for current and long-term portions, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the consolidated liability for unrecognized income tax benefits during the three years presented is shown in the following table. 82 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note H – Income Taxes (Continued) ( Thousands of dollars ) 2023 2022 2021 Balance at January 1 $ 3,928 $ 2,903 $ 2,832 Additions for tax positions related to current year – 77 71 Additions for tax positions related to prior year 2,456 948 – Balance at December 31 $ 6,384 $ 3,928 $ 2,903 All additions or settlements to the above liability affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in the respective period of change. The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company also had other recorded liabilities of $ 0.3 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. There were no interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions included in income tax expense for any period presented. In 2024, the Company currently does not expect to add to the provision for uncertain tax positions. Although existing liabilities could be reduced by settlement with taxing authorities or due to statute of limitations closing, the Company believes that the changes in its unrecognized tax benefits due to these events will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during 2024. The Company’s tax returns in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits often take years to complete and settle. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future years from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters. Additionally, the Company could be required to pay amounts into an escrow account as any matters are identified and appealed with the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2023, the earliest years remaining open for audit and/or settlement in the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are as follows: United States – 2016; Canada – 2016; and Malaysia – 2017. The Company has retained certain possible liabilities and rights to income tax receivables relating to Malaysia for the years prior to 2019. Note I – Incentive Plans Murphy utilizes cash-based and/or share-based incentive awards to supplement normal salaries as compensation for executive management and certain employees. For share-based awards that qualify for equity accounting, costs are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, using a grant date fair value-based measurement method, over the periods that the awards vest. For cash-settled equity awards that are required to be accounted for under liability accounting rules, costs are recognized as expense using a fair value-based measurement method over the vesting period, but expense is adjusted as necessary through the date the award value is finally determined. Total expense for liability awards is ultimately adjusted to the final intrinsic value for the award. The Company currently has outstanding incentive awards issued to certain employees under the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2012 Long-Term Plan), the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2018 Long-Term Plan) and the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2020 Long-Term Plan). The AIP authorizes the 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 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), SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives. The 2020 Long-Term Plan expires in 2030. A total of 5 million shares are issuable during the life of the 2020 Long-Term Plan. Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under this 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 this Plan. Based on awards made to date, 2.1 million shares are available for grant under the 2020 Long-Term Plan at December 31, 2023. The 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 83 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note I – Incentive Plans (Continued) Company currently has outstanding incentive awards issued to Directors under the 2021 NED Plan and the 2018 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (2018 NED Plan). The Company generally expects to issue treasury shares to satisfy vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to share-based plans for each of the three years presented are shown in the following table.

Employees receive net shares, after applicable withholding obligations, upon each stock option exercise and restricted stock unit vest. Equity-Settled Awards PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS – PSUs to be settled in common shares were granted in 2020 under the 2018 Long-Term Plan, and in 2021, 2022 and 2023 under the 2020 Long-Term Plan. Each grant will vest if the Company achieves specific performance objectives at the end of the designated performance period. Additional shares may be awarded if performance objectives are exceeded. If performance goals are not met, PSUs will not vest, but the recognized compensation cost associated with the stock award would not be reversed. For PSUs, the performance conditions are based on the Company’s total shareholder return ( 80 % weighting), compared to an industry peer group of companies, and the EBITDA divided by Average Capital Employed metric ( 20 % weighting) for PSU awards, over the performance period. During the performance period, PSUs are subject to transfer restrictions and are subject to forfeiture if a grantee terminates for reasons other than retirement, disability or death. Termination for these three reasons will lead to a pro rata award of amounts earned. No dividends are paid nor do voting rights exist on awards of PSUs prior to their settlement. Changes in PSUs outstanding for each of the last three years are presented in the following table.

Expected volatility was based on daily historical volatility of the Company’s stock price compared to a peer group average over a three-year period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of three-year U.S. Treasury bonds, and the stock beta was calculated using three years of historical averages of daily stock data for Murphy and the peer group. The assumptions used in the valuation of the performance awards granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 are presented in the following table. 2023 2022 2021 Fair value per share at grant date $ 60.46 $ 37.77 - $ 47.37 $ 16.03 Assumptions Expected volatility 81.00 % 79.00 % - 81.00 % 74.00 % Risk-free interest rate 3.90 % 1.39 % - 2.85 % 0.18 % Stock beta 1.034 1.195 - 1.200 1.169 Expected life 3.0 years 3.0 years 3.0 years 84 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note I – Incentive Plans (Continued) TIME-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS – Time-based RSUs have been granted to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors (NED) under the 2018 NED Plan and 2021 NED Plan, and to certain employees under the 2020 Long-Term Plan.

Prior to 2017, the Committee fixed the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value (FMV) on the date of the grant and fixed the option term at no more than seven years from such date. Each option granted to date under the 2012 Long-Term Plan has been nonqualified, with a term of seven years and an option price equal to FMV at date of grant. Under these plans, one-half of each grant is generally exercisable after two years and the remainder after three years . For stock options, the number of shares issued upon exercise is reduced for settlement of applicable statutory income tax withholdings owed by the grantee. The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and implied volatility on publicly traded at-the-money options on the Company’s stock. The Company estimates the expected term of the options granted based on historical option exercise patterns and considers certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. 85 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note I – Incentive Plans (Continued) Changes in stock options outstanding during the last three years are presented in the following table.

Intrinsic value is the excess of the market price of stock at date of exercise over the exercise price received by the Company upon exercise. Aggregate intrinsic value is nil when the exercise price of the stock option exceeds the market price of the Company’s common stock. Cash-Settled Awards The Company has granted phantom stock-based incentive awards to be settled in cash to certain employees in the form of SARs and CRSUs. SAR awards have terms similar to stock options. CRSUs generally settle on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Each award granted is settled, net of applicable income tax withholdings, in cash rather than with common shares. Total pre-tax expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all cash-settled stock-based awards was $ 29.4 million in 2023, $ 49.3 million in 2022 and $ 18.2 million in 2021. The Committee also administers the Company’s incentive compensation plans, which provide for annual or periodic cash awards to officers, directors and certain other employees. These cash awards are generally determinable based on the Company achieving specific financial and/or operational objectives. Compensation expense of $ 30.9 million, $ 42.9 million and $ 29.0 million was recorded in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for these plans. Note J – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS – The Company has defined benefit pension plans that are principally noncontributory and cover most full-time employees. All pension plans are funded except for the U.S. and Canadian nonqualified supplemental plans and the U.S. directors’ plan. All U.S. tax qualified plans meet the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. Contributions to foreign plans are based on local laws and tax regulations. The Company also sponsors other postretirement benefits such as health care and life insurance benefit plans, which are not funded, that cover most retired U.S. employees. The health care benefits are contributory; the life insurance benefits are noncontributory. Upon the disposal of Murphy’s former U.K. downstream assets, the Company retained all vested defined benefit pension obligations associated with former employees of this business. No additional benefits will accrue to these former U.K. employees under the Company’s retirement plan after the date of their separation from Murphy. 86 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note J – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans (Continued) GAAP requires the Company to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit plans as an asset or liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status between periods through “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”.

During 2023, the Company made contributions of $ 34.7 million to its domestic defined benefit pension plans and $ 2.0 million to its domestic postretirement benefits plan. During 2024, the Company currently expects to make contributions of $ 35.8 million to its domestic defined benefit pension plans, $ 2.2 million to its foreign defined benefit pension plans and $ 4.4 million to its domestic postretirement benefits plan. PLAN INVESTMENTS – Murphy Oil Corporation maintains an Investment Policy Statement (Statement) that establishes investment standards related to its funded domestic qualified retirement plan. Our investment strategy is to maximize long-term returns at an acceptable level of risk through broad diversification of plan assets in a variety of asset classes. Asset classes and target allocations are determined by our investment committee and includes equities, fixed income and other investments, including hedge funds, real estate and cash equivalent securities. Investment managers are prohibited from investing in equity or fixed income securities issued by the Company. The majority of plan assets are highly liquid, providing flexibility for benefit payment requirements. The current target allocations for plan assets are 40 - 75 % equity securities, 20 - 60 % fixed income securities, 0 - 15 % alternatives and 0 - 20 % cash and equivalents. Asset allocations are rebalanced on a periodic basis throughout the year to bring assets to within an acceptable range of target levels. 89 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note J – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans (Continued) The weighted average asset allocation for the Company’s funded pension benefit plans at the respective balance sheet dates are shown in the following table.

The 7.4 % expected return was comprised of the weighted average expected future equity securities return of 8.4 % and a fixed income securities return of 4.7 %. An average expected investment expense of 0.8 % is included in this calculation. Over the last 10 years, the return on funded retirement plan assets has averaged 3.0 %.

For domestic plans, U.S. core, small/midcap, international, emerging market equity securities and U.S. treasury securities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. For commercial paper securities, the prices received generally utilize observable inputs in the pricing methodologies. Other alternative strategies funds consist of two investments. One of these investments is valued annually based on net asset value and permits withdrawals annually after a 90 -day notice, and the other investment is also valued quarterly based on net asset values and has a three-year lock-up period and a 95 -day notice following the lock-up period. For foreign plans, the equity securities funds are comprised of U.K. and foreign equity funds valued daily based on fund net asset values. Fixed income securities funds are U.K. and Canadian securities valued daily at net asset values. The diversified pooled fund is valued daily at net asset value and contains a combination of U.K. and foreign equity securities. 91 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note J – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans (Continued) The effects of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in Level 3 plan assets are outlined below: ( Thousands of dollars ) Hedged Funds and Other Alternative Strategies Total at December 31, 2021 $ 82,854 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets held at the reporting date ( 38,389 ) Purchases, sales and settlements ( 11,731 ) Total at December 31, 2022 32,734 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets held at the reporting date 711 Relating to assets sold during the period ( 8,991 ) Total at December 31, 2023 $ 24,454 THRIFT PLANS – Most full-time U.S. employees of the Company may participate in thrift or similar savings plans by allotting up to a specified percentage of their base pay. The Company matches contributions at a stated percentage of each employee’s allotment based on years of participation in the plans, with a maximum match of 6.0 %. Amounts charged to expense for the Company’s match to these plans were $ 8.5 million in 2023, $ 6.0 million in 2022 and $ 5.4 million in 2021. Note K – Financial Instruments and Risk Management DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS – Murphy uses derivative instruments, such as swaps 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. 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. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were previously accounted for as hedges and the gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCL and amortized to “Interest expense, net” over time. In 2021, the Company redeemed all of the remaining notes due 2022, which were associated with the interest rate derivative contracts and expensed the remainder of the previously deferred loss on the interest rate swap of $ 2.1 million to “Interest expense, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Commodity Price Risks During 2022, the Company had crude oil swaps and collar contracts. Under the swaps contracts, which matured monthly, the Company paid the average monthly price in effect and received 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 matured 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 required payments by the Company if the NYMEX average closing price was above the ceiling price or payments to the Company if the NYMEX average closing price was below the floor price. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did no t have any outstanding crude oil derivative contracts. At December 31, 2021, the Company had 20,000 barrels per day in NYMEX WTI swap contracts at a price per barrel of $ 44.88 and 25,000 barrels per day in NYMEX WTI collar contracts with an average ceiling price per barrel of $ 75.20 and an average floor price per barrel of $ 63.24 , both maturing ratably during 2022. 92 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note K – Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued) 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 short-term derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for each of the three years presented are shown in the following table. Gain (Loss) ( Thousands of dollars ) Year Ended December 31, Type of Derivative Contract Statement of Operations Locations 2023 2022 2021 Commodity swaps (Loss) on derivative instruments $ – $ ( 160,690 ) $ ( 510,596 ) Commodity collars (Loss) on derivative instruments – ( 159,721 ) ( 15,254 ) Credit Risks The Company’s primary credit risks are associated with trade accounts receivable, cash equivalents and derivative instruments. Trade receivables arise mainly from sales of oil and natural gas in the U.S. and Canada and cost sharing amounts, of operating and capital costs billed to partners, for properties operated by Murphy. The credit history and financial condition of potential customers are reviewed before credit is extended. Security is obtained when deemed appropriate based on a potential customer’s financial condition, and routine follow-up evaluations are made. The combination of these evaluations and the large number of customers tends to limit the risk associated with any one customer. Cash balances and cash equivalents are held with several major financial institutions, which limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk for its cash assets. The Company controls credit risk on derivatives through credit approvals and monitoring procedures and believes that such risks are minimal, because counterparties to the majority of transactions are major financial institutions. Note L – Earnings Per Share Net income (loss) attributable to Murphy was used as the numerator in computing both basic and diluted income per common share for each of the three years presented . The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.

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 fair value measurements for these assets and liabilities for the respective periods presented are shown in the following table. December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 ( Thousands of dollars ) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Nonqualified employee savings plan $ 17,785 $ – $ – $ 17,785 $ 15,135 $ – $ – $ 15,135 $ 17,785 $ – $ – $ 17,785 $ 15,135 $ – $ – $ 15,135 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 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. In 2019, the Company acquired strategic deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets from LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings, L.L.C., (LLOG). Under the terms of the transaction, in addition to the consideration paid, Murphy had an obligation to pay additional contingent consideration of up to $ 200 million in the event that certain revenue thresholds are exceeded between 2019 and 2022; and $ 50 million following first oil from certain development projects. The revenue threshold was not exceeded for 2019 or 2020; however, the threshold was met in 2021 and 2022. In 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired Gulf of Mexico producing assets from Petrobras America Inc. (PAI), a subsidiary of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. Under the terms of the transaction, in addition to the consideration paid, Murphy had an obligation to pay additional contingent consideration of up to $ 150 million if certain price and production thresholds are exceeded beginning in 2019 through 2025; and $ 50 million carry for PAI development costs in the St. Malo Field if certain enhanced oil recovery projects are undertaken. The price and production thresholds were not exceeded for 2019 and 2020; however, the thresholds were met in 2021 and 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Murphy had completely funded the carried interest. As at December 31, 2022, the Company’s liabilities with PAI and LLOG were based on realized inputs of volumes and pricing as a result of contractual thresholds and time durations being achieved. As a result, the related liability as at December 31, 2022, of $ 192.7 million, is no longer subject to fair value measurement. The liability is included in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration during 2022 were recorded in “Other (loss) income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company offsets certain assets and liabilities related to derivative contracts when the legal right of offset exists. There were no offsetting positions recorded at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of current and long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. Substantially all of the Company’s long-term debt is actively traded in open markets, and accordingly, is classified as Level 1 in the fair value 95 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note O – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value (Continued) hierarchy. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.

Note P – Commitments The Company has operating, production handling and transportation service agreements for oil and/or natural gas operations in the U.S. and Canada Onshore. The U.S. Onshore and Gulf of Mexico transportation contracts require minimum monthly payments through 2045, while the Canada Onshore processing contracts call for minimum monthly payments through 2051. In the U.S. and Canada Onshore, future required minimum annual payments for the next five years are $ 225.9 million in 2024, $ 126.0 million in 2025, $ 114.7 million in 2026, $ 103.5 million in 2027 and $ 94.4 million in 2028. Under certain circumstances, the Company is required to pay additional amounts depending on the actual hydrocarbon quantities processed under the agreement. Total costs incurred under these service arrangements were $ 295.1 million in 2023, $ 216.4 million in 2022 and $ 151.8 million in 2021. Commitments for capital expenditures were approximately $ 209.8 million at December 31, 2023, including $ 173.3 million for costs to develop deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico fields, $ 13.3 million for Eagle Ford Shale, $ 19.2 million for Canada and $ 4.0 million for Other Foreign. Note Q – 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 gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws, regulations and government action intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment including in connection with the purported causes or potential impacts of climate change; 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 MATTERS – Murphy and other companies in the oil and 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 methane and other GHG emissions; wildlife, habitat and water protection; water access, use and disposal; the placement, operation and decommissioning of production equipment; the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities where our operations are located, including indigenous communities; and the causes and impacts of climate change. 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. 96 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued Note Q - Environmental and Other Contingencies (Continued) Violation of federal or state 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 adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result. In addition, 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 and the Company is not aware of environmental legal proceedings likely to exceed this $ 1.0 million threshold. 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 GHG emissions (including methane emissions). For example, in December 2023, the U.S. EPA announced its final rule regulating methane and volatile organic compounds emissions in the oil and gas industry which, among other things, requires periodic inspections to detect leaks (and subsequent repairs), places stringent restrictions on venting and flaring of methane, and establishes a program whereby third parties can monitor and report large methane emissions to the EPA. 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. Depending on the evolution of laws, regulations and litigation outcomes relating to climate change, there can be no guarantee that climate change litigation will not in the future materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. 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 (including litigation related to climate change), 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. 97 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued Note R – Common Stock Issued and Outstanding Activity in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding for each of the three years presented is shown below.

On August 4, 2022, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $ 300 million of the Company’s common stock. During 2023, the Board authorized an increase to the program, bringing the total amount allowed to be repurchased under the program to $ 600 million. This repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any time without prior notice as determined by the Company at its discretion and dependent upon a variety of factors. The share repurchase program is a component of the Company’s capital allocation framework, the details of which can be found as part of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 4, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 3,411,158 shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for $ 151.2 million, including excise taxes, commissions and fees. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 450 million remaining available to repurchase. Note S – Business Segments Murphy’s reportable segments are organized into geographic areas of operations. The Company’s exploration and production activity is subdivided into segments for the United States, Canada and all other countries. Each of these segments derive revenues primarily from the sale of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and/or natural gas. The Company’s management evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from operations, excluding interest income and interest expense. Customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s sales revenue for each of the below three years ended December 31, are shown below. 2023 2022 2021 Chevron Corporation 16 % 19 % 30 % ExxonMobil Corporation 27 % 12 % N/A Due to the quantity of active oil and gas purchasers in the markets where it produces hydrocarbons, the Company does not foresee any difficulty with selling its hydrocarbon production at fair market prices. No assets were held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Additional background information concerning some of the schedules follows: SCHEDULE 1 – SUMMARY OF TOTAL PROVED EQUIVALENT RESERVES SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF PROVED CRUDE OIL RESERVES SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RESERVES SCHEDULE 4 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS RESERVES Reserves of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas are estimated by the Company’s or independent engineers and are adjusted to reflect contractual arrangements and royalty rates in effect at the end of each year. Many assumptions and judgmental decisions are required to estimate reserves. Reserve estimates and future cash flows are based on the average market prices for sales of oil and natural gas on the first calendar day of each month during the year. The average prices used for 2023 were $ 78.22 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $ 2.64 per MCF for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2022 were $ 93.67 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $ 6.36 per MCF for natural gas (Henry Hub). The average prices used for 2021 were $ 66.56 per barrel for NYMEX crude oil (WTI) and $ 3.60 per MCF for natural gas (Henry Hub). Reported quantities are subject to future revisions, some of which may be substantial, as additional information becomes available from reservoir performance, new geological and geophysical data, additional drilling, technological advancements, price changes and other economic factors. Murphy’s estimations for proved reserves were generated through the integration of available geoscience, engineering, and economic data (including hydrocarbon prices, operating costs, and development costs) and commercially available technologies to establish “reasonable certainty” of economic producibility. Estimates are presented in millions of barrels of oil equivalents and dollars and billions of cubic feet with one decimal; totals within the tables may not add as a result of rounding. As defined by the SEC, reasonable certainty of proved reserves describes a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. In estimating proved reserves, Murphy uses common industry-accepted methods for subsurface evaluations, including performance, volumetric and analog-based studies. Where appropriate, Murphy includes reliable geologic and engineering technology to estimate proved reserves. Reliable geologic and engineering technology is a method or combination of methods that are field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. This integrated approach increases the quality of and confidence in Murphy’s proved reserves estimates. The approach was utilized in certain undrilled acreage at distances greater than the directly offsetting development spacing areas and in certain reservoirs developed with the application of improved recovery techniques. Murphy utilized a combination of 3D seismic interpretation, core analysis, wellbore log measurements, well test data, historic production and pressure data and commercially available seismic processing and numerical reservoir simulation programs. Reservoir parameters from analogous reservoirs were used to strengthen the reserves estimates when available. Production quantities shown are net volumes withdrawn from reservoirs. These may differ from sales quantities due to inventory changes, volumes consumed for fuel and/or shrinkage from the extraction of natural gas liquids. All crude oil, natural gas liquid reserves and natural gas reserves are from consolidated subsidiaries (including noncontrolling interest) and proportionately consolidated joint ventures. The Company has no proved reserves attributable to investees accounted for by the equity method. 103 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) – Continued SCHEDULE 7 – STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES GAAP requires calculation of future net cash flows using a 10 % annual discount factor, an unweighted average of oil and natural gas prices in effect at the beginning of each month of the year, and year-end costs and statutory tax rates, except for known future changes such as contracted prices and legislated tax rates. The reported value of proved reserves is not necessarily indicative of either fair market value or present value of future cash flows because prices, costs and governmental policies do not remain static; appropriate discount rates may vary; and extensive judgment is required to estimate the timing of production. Other logical assumptions would likely have resulted in significantly different amounts. Schedule 7 also presents the principal reasons for change in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2023. 104 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) – Continued Schedule 1 – Summary of Total Proved Equivalent Reserves Based on Average Prices for 2020 – 2023 Equivalents ( Millions of barrels of oil equivalent ) Total United States Canada Other Proved developed and undeveloped reserves: December 31, 2020 714.9 328.5 386.4 – Revisions of previous estimates ( 52.9 ) 35.6 ( 89.3 ) 0.8 Extensions and discoveries 109.4 18.2 91.3 – Purchases of properties 7.4 1.6 5.8 – Sales of properties ( 0.7 ) – ( 0.7 ) – Production ( 61.1 ) ( 40.4 ) ( 20.6 ) ( 0.1 ) December 31, 2021 716.9 343.4 372.8 0.7 Revisions of previous estimates ( 23.6 ) 29.0 ( 52.8 ) 0.2 Improved recovery 5.3 5.3 – – Extensions and discoveries 80.1 20.6 59.5 – Purchases of properties 5.0 5.0 – – Sales of properties ( 4.4 ) ( 4.4 ) – – Production ( 63.9 ) ( 41.9 ) ( 21.7 ) ( 0.3 ) December 31, 2022 715.4 357.0 357.8 0.6 Revisions of previous estimates ( 13.3 ) ( 13.3 ) 0.2 ( 0.2 ) Improved recovery 0.4 – 0.4 – Extensions and discoveries 112.6 12.7 87.3 12.6 Sales of properties ( 5.2 ) – ( 5.2 ) – Production ( 70.4 ) ( 45.3 ) ( 25.0 ) ( 0.1 ) December 31, 2023 ¹ 739.5 311.1 415.5 12.9 Proved developed reserves: December 31, 2020 410.8 230.3 180.5 – December 31, 2021 419.2 241.9 176.8 0.6 December 31, 2022 436.0 264.2 171.3 0.5 December 31, 2023 ² 425.5 223.2 202.0 0.3 Proved undeveloped reserves: December 31, 2020 304.1 98.2 205.9 – December 31, 2021 297.7 101.6 196.0 0.1 December 31, 2022 279.4 92.8 186.5 0.1 December 31, 2023 ³ 314.0 87.9 213.5 12.6 1 Includes proved reserves of 15.5 MMBOE, consisting of 14.0 MMBBL oil, 0.6 MMBBL NGLs and 5.3 BCF natural gas attributable to the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM. 2 Includes proved developed reserves of 12.8 MMBOE, consisting of 11.7 MMBBL oil, 0.5 MMBBL NGLs and 3.8 BCF natural gas attributable to the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM. 3 Includes proved undeveloped reserves of 2.7 MMBOE, consisting of 2.3 MMBBL oil, 0.1 MMBBL NGLs and 1.5 BCF natural gas attributable to the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM. 4 Totals within the tables may not add as a result of rounding. 105 Table of Contents MURPHY OIL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) – Continued Schedule 1 – Summary of Total Proved Equivalent Reserves Based on Average Prices for 2020 – 2023 (Continued) 2023 Comments for Proved Equivalent Reserves Changes Revisions of previous estimates - The equivalent reserves revisions in 2023 resulted predominantly from lower commodity prices in the U.S. and performance adjustments in Tupper Montney and the Eagle Ford Shale.
