  "summary": "ASC 932-235 sets the note and supplemental disclosure requirements for entities with oil- and gas-producing activities. All such entities must disclose their cost accounting method (successful efforts vs. full cost), how capitalized costs are disposed of, and information about exploratory well costs still capitalized pending determination of proved reserves. Publicly traded companies with significant oil and gas activities must additionally provide, as supplementary information with annual statements, proved reserve quantities and changes, capitalized costs, costs incurred, results of operations, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, and changes in that measure.",
  "key_points": [
    "All entities engaged in oil- and gas-producing activities must disclose the method of accounting for costs incurred and the manner of disposing of capitalized costs (932-235-50-1).",
    "Continued capitalization of exploratory well costs is a required note disclosure (expressly not supplementary): amounts pending determination of proved reserves with a rollforward of additions, reclassifications to wells/equipment, and charges to expense; amounts capitalized more than one year after completion of drilling with an aging and project count; and a description of the projects and remaining activities needed to classify reserves as proved (932-235-50-1A through 50-1B).",
    "Publicly traded companies with significant oil- and gas-producing activities must disclose, as supplementary information with complete annual financial statements, the seven categories listed in 932-235-50-2.",
    "Net proved, proved developed, and proved undeveloped reserve quantities of oil, gas, synthetic oil/gas, and other nonrenewable resources must be disclosed at the beginning and end of year, with changes broken out by revisions of previous estimates, improved recovery, purchases of minerals in place, extensions and discoveries, production, and sales of minerals in place (932-235-50-4 through 50-5).",
    "Reserve, cost, results-of-operations, and standardized measure disclosures must be presented in the aggregate and separately by geographic area, at a minimum for each country containing 15 percent or more of proved reserves on an oil-equivalent-barrels basis (932-235-50-6 through 50-6B).",
    "Results of operations for oil- and gas-producing activities equal revenues less production (lifting) costs, exploration expenses, DD&A and valuation provisions, and income taxes at the statutory rate, excluding general corporate overhead and interest costs (932-235-50-23 through 50-26).",
    "The standardized measure applies prices used in estimating proved reserves to year-end quantities, subtracts future development and production costs at year-end costs and future income taxes at year-end statutory rates, and discounts at 10 percent per year; equity method investee amounts are generally disclosed separately from consolidated entities (932-235-50-31, 50-33)."

  "student_note": "This is the classic supplemental oil and gas disclosure package presented with E&P company financial statements; the standardized measure is a prescribed computation (reserve-estimation prices, year-end costs, 10% discount) and is not the fair value of the reserves. A common mistake is treating the exploratory well cost disclosures as supplementary—932-235-50-1A makes them required notes for all entities with oil and gas activities, not just public companies.",

An entity shall make the following disclosures in the notes to the annual financial statements to provide information for users of financial statements about management's application of judgment in its evaluation of a project's capitalized exploratory well costs. These disclosures are not required routinely in interim financial statements; however, interim financial statements shall include information about significant changes from the information presented in the most recent annual financial statements. 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
        
        Capitalized exploratory well costs that were reclassified to wells, equipment, and facilities based on the determination of proved reserves
        
    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.

Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall estimates for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.") of each of the following shall be disclosed as of the beginning and the end of the year:

Paragraph [360-10-50-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-50-1) requires disclosure of balances of major classes of depreciable assets, by nature or function. Thus, separate disclosure of capitalized costs for asset categories in paragraph [932-360-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/932/#360-932-25-4) or for a combination of those categories often may be appropriate.

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.

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.")

A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to an entity's interests in both of the following shall be disclosed as of the end of the year:

1.  a
    
    Proved oil and gas reserves (see paragraphs [932-235-50-3 through 50-11B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-3))
    
2.  b
    
    Oil and gas subject to purchase under long-term supply, purchase, or similar agreements and contracts in which the entity participates in the operation of the properties on which the oil or gas is located or otherwise serves as the producer of those reserves (see paragraph [932-235-50-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-7)).
    

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to those two types of interests in reserves may be combined for reporting purposes.

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.

The aggregate change in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows shall be disclosed for the year. If individually significant, all of the following sources of change shall be presented separately:

1.  a
    
    Net change in sales and transfer prices and in production (lifting) costs related to future production
    
2.  b
    
    Changes in estimated future development costs
    
3.  c
    
    Sales and transfers of oil and gas produced during the period
    
4.  d
    
    Net change due to extensions, discoveries, and improved recovery
    
5.  e
    
    Net change due to purchases and sales of minerals in place
    
6.  f
    
    Net change due to revisions in quantity estimates
    
7.  g
    
    Previously estimated development costs incurred during the period
    
8.  h
    
    Accretion of discount
    
9.  i
    
    Other—unspecified
    
10.  j
     
     Net change in income taxes.
     

In computing the amounts under each of the above categories, the effects of changes in prices and costs shall be computed before the effects of changes in quantities. As a result, changes in quantities shall be stated at prices used in estimating proved oil and gas reserves and year-end costs. The change in computed income taxes shall reflect the effect of income taxes incurred during the period as well as the change in future income tax expenses. Therefore, all changes except income taxes shall be reported pretax.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 12.A.3, Disclosure of Reserve Information.

-   c. Limited partnership 10-K reports.
    
-   Facts: Securities Act Industry Guide 2 contains an exemption from the requirements of the Guide to disclose certain information relating to oil and gas operations for "limited partnerships or joint ventures that conduct, operate, manage, or report upon oil and gas drilling income programs which acquire properties either for drilling and production, or for production of oil, gas, or geothermal steam."
    
-   Limited partnership agreements often contain buy-out provisions under which the general partner agrees to purchase limited partnership interests that are offered for sale, based upon a specified valuation formula. Because of these arrangements, the requirements for disclosure of reserve value information may be of little significance to the limited partners.
    
-   Question: Must the financial statements of limited partnerships included in reports on Form 10-K contain the disclosures of estimated future net revenues, present values and changes therein, and supplemental summary of oil and gas activities specified by in FASB ASC paragraphs
    
    [932-235-50-23 through 50-36](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-23)
    
    (Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas Topic)?
    
-   Interpretive Response: The staff will not take exception to the omission of these disclosures in a limited partnership Form 10-K if reserve value information is available to the limited partners pursuant to the partnership agreement (even though the valuations may be computed differently and may be as of a date other than year end). However, the staff will require all of the information listed in FASB ASC paragraphs
    
    [932-235-50-23 through 50-36](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-23)
    
    for partnerships which are the subject of a merger or exchange offer under which various limited partnerships are to be combined into a single entity.
    
-   e. Rate regulated companies.
    
-   Question: If a company has cost-of-service oil and gas producing properties, how should they be treated in the supplemental disclosures of reserve quantities and related future net revenues provided pursuant to FASB ASC paragraphs
    
    [932-235-50-29 through 50-36](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/235/932/#235-932-50-29)
    
    ?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Rule 4-10 provides that registrants may give effect to differences arising from the ratemaking process for cost-of-service oil and gas properties. Accordingly, in these circumstances, the staff believes that the company's supplemental reserve quantity disclosures should indicate separately the quantities associated with properties subject to cost-of-service ratemaking, and that it is appropriate to exclude those quantities from the future net revenue disclosures. The company should also disclose the nature and impact of its cost-of-service ratemaking, including the unamortized cost included in the balance sheet.
