oil and gas producing activities

ASC 220-932 is a short "pointer" subtopic that addresses income statement presentation for oil- and gas-producing activities. It contains no substantive incremental rules of its own: it adopts the scope of ASC 932-10-15 and directs readers to the industry disclosure requirements in 932-235-50-21 through 50-28 and to the illustrative results-of-operations example in 932-235-55-5.

ASC 225-932 was the income statement subtopic addressing oil and gas extractive activities, but every paragraph in it (Sections 05, 15, 50, and 55) was superseded by Maintenance Update 2017-19. As a result the subtopic contains no operative guidance; readers must look to ASC 932 (Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas) and ASC 220 for income statement presentation and disclosure requirements.

ASC 280-932 is a short "pointer" subtopic that addresses segment reporting as it applies to oil and gas producing activities. It contains no substantive requirements of its own: its scope mirrors that of the oil and gas Overall Subtopic (932-10-15), and it directs preparers to the industry-specific segment disclosure requirements located with the other oil and gas disclosures in 932-235-50-22 through 50-23.

ASC 932-10 is the Overall subtopic of the oil and gas extractive activities Topic; it identifies which entities and activities fall within the industry guidance and supplies common industry definitions. It applies to all entities with oil- and gas-producing activities — the search for, acquisition of rights to, and construction/drilling/production activities needed to bring crude oil, natural gas, and synthetic-oil-source hydrocarbons to the surface (932-10-15-2A). The industry-specific Subtopics override the more general Codification Topics for the issues they address (932-10-05-3), and the Topic does not prohibit use of the full-cost method (932-10-15-4).
