Supplemental Oil And Gas Information

15. Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (unaudited)



Information with respect to the Company’s oil and gas producing activities is presented in the following tables. Estimates of reserves quantities, as well as future production and discounted cash flows before income taxes, were determined by LaRoche Petroleum Consultants Ltd.  All of the Company’s reserves were located in the United States.

The Company’s Proved Undeveloped Reserves at December 31, 2018 included 7 locations and at December 31, 2017 included 3 locations, and no locations at December 31, 2016 and 2015.  During 2016 and 2015, all Proved Undeveloped locations were removed from the Company’s Proved Reserves primarily due to the low oil prices experienced during these years.  Increases in prices allowed the company to include 3 Proved Undeveloped locations in its December 31, 2017 reserves and 7 Proved Undeveloped locations in its December 31, 2018 reserves.  Although the Company completed a well during 2018 that was not included in Proved Reserves at the end of 2017 and therefore contributed to extensions and discoveries, the primary factor causing the revisions as well as the extensions and discoveries during 2018 levels was related to higher oil prices that enabled the Company to consider certain properties as becoming economic or remaining economic longer and to consequently increase the oil volumes included in Proved Reserves.



The following table identifies the Company’s net proved reserve value by category and the respective present values, before income taxes, discounted at 10% as a percentage of total proved reserves (in thousands):

Estimated future net cash flows represent an estimate of future net revenues from the production of proved reserves using average sales prices along with estimates of the operating costs, production taxes and future development and abandonment cost (less salvage value) necessary to produce such reserves. Future income taxes were calculated by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to pre-tax future net cash flows, net of the tax basis of the properties and utilizing available tax loss carryforwards related to oil and gas operations. The oil prices used for December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $60.21, and $45.83,  and $37.35 per barrel of oil, respectively.  The Company’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were measured by using commodity prices based on the twelve month unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for the period January through December.  No deduction has been made for depreciation, depletion, or any indirect cost such as general corporate overhead or interest expense.
