• 2019 – During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded pre-tax non-cash proved property impairments of $24 million, primarily as a result of anticipated sales proceeds for certain non-core proved properties in our United States segment and the sale of our non-operated interest in the Atrush block (Kurdistan) in our International segment. The related fair value was measured using the market approach, based upon anticipated sales proceeds less costs to sell which resulted in a Level 2 classification. See Note 4 for discussion of the divestiture in further detail.
