Any impairment of capitalized exploratory well costs that were capitalized for a period of greater than one year after the completion of drilling at the most recent annual balance sheet date shall be considered significant for purposes of determining whether the change shall be disclosed in interim financial statements. All of the following disclosures are required:

1.  a
    
    The amount of capitalized exploratory well costs that is pending the determination of proved reserves. An entity also shall separately disclose for each annual period that an income statement is presented changes in those capitalized exploratory well costs resulting from all of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        Additions to capitalized exploratory well costs that are pending the determination of proved reserves
        
    2.  2

    3.  3
        
        Capitalized exploratory well costs that were charged to expense.
        
    
    This disclosure shall not include amounts that were capitalized and subsequently expensed in the same annual period.
    
2.  b
    
    The amount of exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period of greater than one year after the completion of drilling at the most recent balance sheet date and the number of projects for which those costs relate. Additionally, for exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for periods greater than one year at the most recent balance sheet date, an entity shall provide an aging of those amounts by year, or by using a range of years, and the number of projects to which those costs relate.
    
3.  c
    
    For exploratory well costs that continue to be capitalized for more than one year after the completion of drilling at the most recent balance sheet date, a description of the projects and the activities that the entity has undertaken to date in order to evaluate the reserves and the projects, and the remaining activities required to classify the associated reserves as proved.

Revenues shall include sales to unaffiliated entities and sales or transfers to the entity's other operations (for example, refineries or chemical plants). Sales to unaffiliated entities may be [contracts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contract "An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.") with [customers](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#customer "A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.") within the scope of Topic 606; see disclosure requirements in Section 606-10-50. Sales to unaffiliated entities and sales or transfers to the entity's other operations shall be disclosed separately. Revenues shall include sales to unaffiliated entities attributable to net working interests, royalty interests, oil payment interests, and net profits interests of the reporting entity. Sales or transfers to the entity's other operations shall be based on market prices determined at the point of delivery from the producing unit. Those market prices shall represent prices equivalent to those that could be obtained in an arm's-length transaction. Production or severance taxes shall not be deducted in determining gross revenues, but rather shall be included as part of production costs. Royalty payments and net profits disbursements shall be excluded from gross revenues.

Results of operations for oil- and gas-producing activities are defined as revenues less production (lifting) costs; exploration expenses; depreciation, depletion, and amortization; valuation provisions; and income tax expenses. General corporate overhead and interest costs shall not be deducted in computing the results of operations for an entity's oil- and gas-producing activities. The disposition of interest costs that have been capitalized as part of the cost of acquiring qualifying assets used in oil- and gas-producing activities shall be the same as that of other components of those assets' costs. However, some expenses incurred at an entity's central administrative office may not be general corporate expenses, but rather may be operating expenses of oil- and gas-producing activities, and therefore shall be reported as such. The nature of an expense rather than the location of its incurrence shall determine whether it is an operating expense. Only those expenses identified by their nature as operating expenses shall be allocated as operating expenses in computing the results of operations for oil- and gas-producing activities.

shall include an entity's interests in [proved oil and gas reserves](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#proved-oil-and-gas-reserves "Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether the estimate is a deterministic estimate or probabilistic estimate. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project, within a reasonable time.The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following: The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur: Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period before the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.")

All of the following information shall be disclosed in the aggregate and for each geographic area for which reserve quantities are disclosed in accordance with paragraphs [932-235-50-3 through 50-11B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-3):

1.  a
    
    Future cash inflows. These shall be computed by applying prices used in estimating the entity's proved oil and gas reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves. Future price changes shall be considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.
    
2.  b
    
    Future development and production costs. These costs shall be computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. If estimated development expenditures are significant, they shall be presented separately from estimated production costs.
    
3.  c
    
    Future income tax expenses. These expenses shall be computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved. The future income tax expenses shall give effect to tax deductions and tax credits and allowances relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves.
    
4.  d
    
    Future net cash flows. These amounts are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income tax expenses from future cash inflows.
    
5.  e
    
    Discount. This amount shall be derived from using a discount rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.
    
6.  f
    
    Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This amount is the future net cash flows less the computed discount.
