Note 24    Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities (unaudited)

The operations of our Oil and Gas operating segment focus on the exploration for and the acquisition, development and production of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids in the United States, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, and Colombia.

Our Oil and Gas operating segment includes our wholly owned oil and gas assets and our unconsolidated oil and gas joint ventures. In December 2008, the SEC revised oil and gas reporting disclosures, which clarified that we should consider our equity-method investments when determining whether we have significant oil and gas activities beginning in 2009. A one-year deferral of the disclosure requirements was allowed if an entity became subject to the requirements because of the change to the definition of significant oil and gas activities. When operating results from our wholly owned oil and gas activities were considered with operating results from our unconsolidated oil and gas joint ventures, which we account for under the equity method of accounting, we determined that we had significant oil and gas activities under the new definition at December 31, 2009. Accordingly after the one-year deferral, we are presenting the information with regard to our oil and gas producing activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The estimates of net proved oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2011 were based on reserve reports prepared by independent petroleum engineers. AJM Deloitte prepared reports of estimated proved oil and gas reserves for our wholly owned assets in Canada. Miller and Lents, Ltd. prepared reports of estimated proved oil and gas reserves for both our wholly owned assets and our U.S. joint venture’s interests in natural gas and oil properties located in the United States. Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. prepared reports of estimated proved oil reserves for wholly owned assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale and Giddings field in Grimes County, Texas.

The estimates of net proved natural gas and oil reserves as of December 31, 2010 were based on reserve reports prepared by the following independent petroleum engineers. AJM Petroleum Consultants prepared reports of estimated proved oil and gas reserves for our wholly owned assets in Canada. Miller and Lents, Ltd. prepared reports of estimated proved oil and gas reserves for both our wholly owned assets and our U.S. joint venture’s interests in natural gas and oil properties located in the United States. Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., prepared reports of estimated proved oil reserves for certain properties located in the Cat Canyon and West Cat Canyon Fields in Santa Barbara County, California. Lonquist & Co., LLC prepared reports of estimated proved oil and gas reserves for our wholly owned assets in Colombia.

The following supplementary information includes our results of operations for oil and gas production activities; capitalized costs related to oil and gas producing activities; and costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development. Supplemental information is also provided for the estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves; the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows associated with proved oil and gas reserves; and a summary of the changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows associated with proved oil and gas reserves.

Results of Operations

Results of operations consist of all activities within our Oil and Gas operating segment, or in discontinued operations in some cases. Net revenues from production include only the revenues from the production and sale of natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids. Production costs are those incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities used in oil and gas operations. Exploration expenses include dry-hole costs, geological and geophysical expenses, and the costs of retaining undeveloped leaseholds. Income tax expense is calculated by applying the current statutory tax rates to the revenues after deducting costs, which include depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) allowances, after giving effect to permanent differences. The results of operations exclude general office overhead and interest expense attributable to oil and gas activities.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The reserve disclosures that follow reflect estimates of proved reserves for our consolidated subsidiaries and equity companies of natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids owned at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and changes in proved reserves during 2011 and 2010. Our year-end reserve volumes in the following tables were calculated using average prices during the 12-month period prior to 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. These reserve quantities are also used in calculating unit-of-production depreciation rates and in calculating the standardized measure of discounted net cash flow. Estimates of volumes of proved reserves of natural gas at year end are expressed in billions of cubic feet of natural gas (“Bcf”) at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds per square inch for natural gas and in millions of barrels (“MMBbls”) for oil and natural gas liquids.

For our wholly owned properties in the United States and the properties of our unconsolidated U.S. joint venture, the prices used in our reserve reports were $4.12 per mcf for the 12-month average of natural gas, $57.71 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $96.19 per barrel for oil at December 31, 2011. For our wholly owned properties in Canada, the price used in our reserve reports was $3.85 per mcf for the 12-month average of natural gas at December 31, 2011.

For our wholly owned properties in the United States, the prices used in our reserve reports were $3.72 per mcf for the 12-month average of natural gas, $36.43 per barrel for liquid natural gas and $61.12 per barrel for oil at December 31, 2010. The prices used in our reserve reports by our unconsolidated U.S. joint venture were $4.53 per mcf for the 12-month average of natural gas, $39.04 per barrel for liquid natural gas and $70.60 per barrel for oil at December 31, 2010. For our wholly owned properties in Canada, the price used in our reserve reports was $2.81 per mcf for the 12-month average of natural gas at December 31, 2010. The 12-month average price for natural gas used in the reserve report by our unconsolidated Canada joint venture was $2.78 per mcf at December 31, 2010. For our wholly owned properties in Colombia, the price used in our reserve reports was $78.21 per barrel for oil at December 31, 2010. The oil price used in the reserve report by our unconsolidated Colombia joint venture was $76.00 per barrel at December 31, 2010.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain.

Revisions can include upward or downward changes in previously estimated volumes of proved reserves for existing fields due to the evaluation or re-evaluation of (1) already available geologic, reservoir or production data, (2) new geologic, reservoir or production data or (3) changes in average prices and year-end costs that are used in the estimation of reserves. This category can also include significant changes in either development strategy or production equipment/facility capacity.

Proved reserves include 100 percent of each majority-owned affiliate’s participation in proved reserves and our ownership percentage of the proved reserves of equity companies, but exclude royalties and quantities due others.

In the proved reserves tables, consolidated reserves and equity company reserves are reported separately. However, we do not view equity company reserves any differently than those of our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Net proved developed reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Net proved undeveloped reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Cash Flows

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow was computed by applying first-day-of-the-month average prices, year-end costs and legislated tax rates and a discount factor of 10 percent to proved reserves. Estimated future net cash flows for all periods presented are reduced by estimated future development, production, abandonment and dismantlement costs based on existing costs, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, and by estimated future income tax expense. These estimates also include assumptions about the timing of future production of proved reserves, and timing of future development, production costs, and abandonment and dismantlement. Income tax expense, both U.S. and global, is calculated by applying the existing statutory tax rates, including any known future changes, to the pretax net cash flows giving effect to any permanent differences and reduced by the applicable tax basis. The 10-percent discount factor is prescribed by GAAP.

The present value of future net cash flows does not purport to be an estimate of the fair market value of our consolidated subsidiaries and equity companies’ proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, anticipated changes in future prices and costs, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas. Significant changes in estimated reserve volumes or commodity prices could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
