+Added: of proved reserves impacting the recognition and valuation of depletion expense and impairment of oil and gas properties
+Added: Accounting Matter Description
+Added: described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company accounts for its oil and gas properties using the full cost method of accounting
+Added: which requires management to make estimates of proved reserve volumes and future revenues and expenses to calculate depletion expense
+Added: and measure its oil and gas properties for potential impairment.
+Added: To estimate the volume of proved reserves and future revenues, management
+Added: makes significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasting the production decline rate of producing properties and forecasting
+Added: the timing and volume of production associated with the Company’s development plan for proved undeveloped properties.
+Added: the estimation of proved reserves is also impacted by management’s judgments and estimates regarding the financial performance
+Added: of wells associated with proved reserves to determine if wells are expected, with reasonable certainty, to be economical under the appropriate
+Added: pricing assumptions required in the estimation of depletion expense and potential impairment measurements.
+Added: We identified the estimation
+Added: of proved reserves of oil and gas properties, due to its impact on depletion expense and impairment evaluation, as a critical audit matter.
+Added: principal consideration for our determination that the estimation of proved reserves is a critical audit matter is that changes in certain
+Added: inputs and assumptions, which require a high degree of subjectivity necessary to estimate the volume and future revenues of the Company’s
+Added: proved reserves could have a significant impact on the measurement of depletion expense or the impairment assessment.
+Added: In turn, auditing
+Added: those inputs and assumptions required subjective and complex auditor judgment.
+Added: the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
+Added: obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of management’s controls and our audit procedures related to the estimation
+Added: of proved reserves included the following, among others.
+Added: We evaluated the level of knowledge, skill, and ability of the Company’s reservoir engineering specialists and their relationship to the Company, made inquiries of those reservoir engineers regarding the process followed and judgments made to estimate the Company’s proved reserve volumes, and read the reserve report prepared by the Company’s specialists.
+Added: To the extent key, sensitive inputs and assumptions used to determine proved reserve volumes and other cash flow inputs and assumptions are derived from the Company’s accounting records, such as commodity pricing, historical pricing differentials, operating costs, estimated capital costs and working and net revenue interests, we tested management’s process for determining the assumptions, including examining the underlying support, on a sample basis.
+Added: Specifically, our audit procedures involved testing management’s assumptions as follows:
+Added: the estimated pricing differentials used in the reserve report to realized prices related to revenue transactions recorded in the
+Added: current year and examined contractual support for the pricing differentials;
+Added: the models used to estimate the operating costs at year-end compared to historical operating costs;
+Added: the models used to determine the future capital expenditures and compared estimated future capital expenditures used in the reserve
+Added: report to amounts expended for recently drilled and completed wells with similar locations;
+Added: the working and net revenue interests used in the reserve report by inspecting a sample of ownership interests, historical pricing
+Added: differentials, and operating costs to underlying support from the Company’s accounting records.
+Added: the Company’s evidence supporting the amount of proved undeveloped properties reflected in the reserve report by examining
+Added: historical conversion rates and support for the Company’s or the operator’s intent to develop the proved undeveloped
+Added: analytical procedures to the reserve report by comparing to historical actual results and to the prior year reserve report.
