## ASC 605-932: Revenue Recognition — Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas

{
  "summary": "ASC 605-932 was the oil and gas industry-specific guidance under the legacy revenue recognition model (ASC 605), addressing revenue recognition for extractive activities such as gas balancing arrangements. Every substantive paragraph in the subtopic (05-1, 15-1, 25-2, and 50-1) was superseded by ASU 2014-09, so the subtopic now contains no operative guidance. Oil and gas revenue is instead accounted for under ASC 606, with industry-specific application guidance in ASC 932-606.",
  "key_points": [
    "All content of this subtopic—scope (605-932-15-1), overview (605-932-05-1), recognition (605-932-25-2), and disclosure (605-932-50-1)—was superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09.",
    "Paragraph 605-932-25-1 is designated 'not used,' so no recognition rule remains in the subtopic.",
    "Because nothing operative remains, entities in extractive activities—oil and gas cannot rely on ASC 605-932 for revenue recognition; ASC 606 (and 932-606) governs instead.",
    "The subtopic is retained in the Codification only as a historical marker of the legacy model and is relevant chiefly for transition and comparative-period questions."
