Supplemental Oil and Gas Information [Abstract]  
Supplemental Oil and Gas Information

The following unaudited schedules are presented in accordance with required disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities to provide users with a common base for preparing estimates of future cash flows and comparing reserves among companies.  Additional background information follows concerning five of the schedules.

 

SCHEDULE 1 – SUMMARY OF PROVED CRUDE OIL AND SYNTHETIC OIL RESERVES

SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RESERVES

SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF PROVED NATURAL GAS RESERVES

 

Reserves of crude oil, synthetic oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas are estimated by the Company’s or independent engineers and are adjusted to reflect contractual arrangements and royalty rates in effect at the end of each year.  Many assumptions and judgmental decisions are required to estimate reserves.  Reported quantities are subject to future revisions, some of which may be substantial, as additional information becomes available from reservoir performance, new geological and geophysical data, additional drilling, technological advancements, price changes and other economic factors.

 

Murphy’s estimations for proved reserves were generated through the integration of available geoscience, engineering, and economic data, and commercially available technologies, to establish ‘reasonable certainty’ of economic productibility.  As defined by the SEC, reasonable certainty of proved reserves describes a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.  In estimating proved reserves, Murphy uses familiar industry-accepted methods for subsurface evaluations, including performance, volumetric, and analogue based studies.  Where appropriate, Murphy includes reliable geologic and engineering technology to estimate proved reserves.  Reliable geologic and engineering technology is a method or combination of methods that are field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.  This integrated approach increases the quality of and confidence in Murphy’s proved reserves estimates, and was utilized in certain undrilled acreage at distances greater than the directly offsetting development spacing areas, and in certain reservoirs developed with the application of improved recovery techniques.  Murphy utilized a combination of 3D seismic interpretation, core analysis, wellbore log measurements, well test data, historic production and pressure data, and commercially available seismic processing and numerical reservoir simulation programs.  Reservoir parameters from analogous reservoirs were used to strengthen the reserves estimates when available.

 

Murphy includes synthetic crude oil from its 5% interest in the Syncrude project in Alberta, Canada in its proved crude oil reserves.  This operation involves a process of mining tar sands and converting the raw bitumen into a pipeline-quality crude.  The proved reserves associated with this project are estimated through a combination of core-hole drilling and realized process efficiencies.  The high-density core-hole drilling, at a spacing of less than 500 meters (proved area), provides engineering and geologic data needed to estimate the volumes of tar sand in place and its associated bitumen content.  The bitumen generally constitutes approximately 10% of the total bulk tar sand that is mined.  The bitumen extraction process is fairly efficient and removes about 90% of the bitumen that is contained within the tar sand.  The final step of the process converts the 8.4° API bitumen into 30°-34° API crude oil.  A catalytic cracking process is used to crack the long hydrocarbon chains into shorter ones yielding a final crude oil that can be shipped via pipelines.  The cracking process has an efficiency ranging from 85% to 90%.  Overall, it takes approximately two metric tons of oil sand to produce one barrel of synthetic crude oil.  All synthetic oil volumes reported as proved reserves in Schedule 1 are the final synthetic crude oil product.

 

Production quantities shown are net volumes withdrawn from reservoirs.  These may differ from sales quantities due to inventory changes, volumes consumed for fuel and/or shrinkage from extraction of natural gas liquids.

 

All crude oil and synthetic reserves, natural gas liquids reserves and natural gas reserves are from consolidated subsidiaries and proportionately consolidated joint ventures.  The Company has no proved reserves attributable to investees accounted for by the equity method.

 

All proved reserves in Malaysia are associated with production sharing contracts for Blocks SK 309/311, K and H.  Malaysia reserves include oil and gas to be received for both cost recovery and profit provisions under the contract.  Liquids and natural gas proved reserves associated with the production sharing contracts in Malaysia totaled 75.2 million barrels and 546.8 billion cubic feet, respectively, at December 31, 2015.  Approximately 33.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas proved reserves in Malaysia at December 31, 2015 relate to fields in Block K for which the Company expects to receive sale proceeds of approximately $0.24 per thousand cubic feet.

 

SCHEDULE 5 – RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES

 

Results of operations from exploration and production activities by geographic area for 2013 and 2014 are reported as if these activities were not part of an operation that also refines crude oil and sells refined products.

 

SCHEDULE 6 – STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES

 

GAAP requires calculation of future net cash flows using a 10% annual discount factor, an unweighted average of oil and natural gas prices in effect at the beginning of each month of the year, and year-end costs and statutory tax rates, except for known future changes such as contracted prices and legislated tax rates.

 

The reported value of proved reserves is not necessarily indicative of either fair market value or present value of future cash flows because prices, costs and governmental policies do not remain static; appropriate discount rates may vary; and extensive judgment is required to estimate the timing of production.  Other logical assumptions would likely have resulted in significantly different amounts.

 

Schedule 6 also presents the principal reasons for change in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015.

Schedule 1 – Summary of Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Based on Average Prices

 for 2012 – 2015 –  Continued

 

2015 Comments for Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Changes

Revision of previous estimate – The 2015 negative crude oil revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to impacts of lower price on Eagle Ford Shale volumes, partially offset by improved Eagle Ford Shale performance, improved Eagle Ford Shale lifting costs, and drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico.  The negative Canadian conventional oil reserves revision in 2015 was result of lower heavy oil prices partially offset by increases at both Hibernia and Terra Nova due to development drilling and lower government royalty effects.  The positive synthetic oil revision in the current period is due predominantly to lower government royalty effects due to lower oil prices.  The positive revision for crude oil reserves in Malaysia was attributable to improved performance and lower government entitlement under the terms of the respective production sharing contracts due to lower oil prices.

 

Improved recovery – The 2015 Malaysia crude oil proved reserve add was primarily due to favorable impacts for waterflood activity at certain Sarawak oil fields.

 

Extensions and discoveries – In 2015, the U.S. added proved oil reserves primarily for planned drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale.

 

Sales of properties – The proved crude oil reserves reduction in Malaysia was associated with the 2015 sale of 10% of the Company’s oil and gas assets.

 

2014 Comments for Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Changes

Revisions of previous estimatesThe 2014 negative crude oil revision in the U.S. was primarily attributed to a new downspacing drilling strategy at the Eagle Ford Shale, which recognizes incrementally greater reserves as an Extension for 2014.  The positive Canadian conventional oil reserves revision in 2014 was based on Hibernia well performance and stronger heavy oil prices during 2014.  The negative synthetic oil revision in 2014 was based on a review of the recoverable bitumen area coupled with the impact of a lower oil price.  The negative revision for crude oil reserves in Malaysia in 2014 was attributable to an updated decline curve analysis for the Kikeh field, partially offset by a benefit for performance associated with field ramp up at Kakap.

 

Improved recovery  – This 2014 Malaysia crude oil proved reserves add was associated with favorable impacts for waterflood activities at the Kikeh, Siakap North and Sarawak oil fields.

 

Extensions and discoveriesIn 2014, the U.S. added proved oil reserves primarily for substantial drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale.  Canadian proved oil reserves adds in 2014 were associated with drilling activities in the Seal heavy oil area and at the Hibernia field.  The crude oil proved reserves adds in 2014 in Malaysia were mostly for drilling activities at the Siakap North and Sarawak oil fields.

 

Purchases of properties – The proved crude oil reserves adds in the U.S. were due to acquisition of an interest in the Kodiak field in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Sales of properties  – The proved crude oil reserves reduction in Malaysia was associated with the late 2014 sale of 20% of the Company’s oil and gas assets.

 

 

Schedule 1 – Summary of Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Based on Average Prices

 for 2012 – 2015 –  Continued

 

2013 Comments for Proved Crude Oil and Synthetic Oil Reserves Changes

Revisions of previous estimates – The positive revision for proved crude oil reserves in 2013 in the U.S. was attributable to better well performance in the Eagle Ford Shale area in South Texas, plus minor adds to several fields in the Gulf of Mexico.  The positive revision for conventional oil in Canada was caused by well performance at the Hibernia and Terra Nova fields.  Synthetic oil revisions were positive primarily due to revised cost recovery factors for bitumen extraction following renegotiated royalty terms with the government.  Positive revisions in Malaysia were primarily attributable to well performance at Kikeh.

 

Improved recovery – The positive effect from improved recovery in Malaysia was at the Kikeh field where waterflood has led to better than anticipated response in certain reservoirs.

 

Extensions and discoveries – The U.S. proved crude oil reserve additions were all in the Eagle Ford Shale where the Company has used reliable technology to add offset locations associated with well downspacing in certain areas.  Proved oil adds in Canada were associated with extensions at Seal.  Additions to oil reserves in Malaysia primarily related to four new oil fields offshore Sarawak which were put on production during the second half of 2013.

 

Sales of properties – The Company sold all its oil fields in the U.K. during the first half of 2013.

Schedule 3 – Summary of Proved Natural Gas Reserves Based on Average Prices for 2012 – 2015 –  Continued

 

2015 Comments for Proved Natural Gas Reserves Changes

Revision of previous estimates – The 2015 negative natural gas revision in the U.S. was primarily attributable to performance declines in certain fields in the Gulf of Mexico offset in part by the overall positive performance in the Eagle Ford Shale area.  The positive revisions in Canada were attributable to updated well type curves and field development techniques in the Montney area of Western Canada.  The positive revision for natural gas reserves in Malaysia was attributable to lower government entitlement under the terms of the respective production sharing contracts due to lower natural gas prices.

 

Improved recovery – The 2015 Malaysia natural gas proved reserve add was primarily due to favorable impacts for waterflood activity at certain Sarawak oil fields.

 

Extensions and discoveries – In 2015, the U.S. added natural gas reserves primarily for planned developmental drilling activities in the Eagle Ford Shale while the gas reserve adds in Canada were attributable to developmental drilling activities in the Tupper area.

 

Sales of properties – The Company sold 10% of its oil and gas assets in Malaysia in January 2015.

 

2014 Comments for Proved Natural Gas Reserves Changes

Extensions and discoveries – The proved reserves of natural gas added in the U.S. in 2014 was primarily associated with the development drilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale, while the add in Canada in 2014 was attributable to drilling in the Tupper and Tupper West areas in Western Canada.  The proved natural gas reserves added in Malaysia in 2014 was mostly associated with approval and sanction of the plan for a floating liquefied natural gas development in Block H, offshore Sabah, during 2014.

 

Purchases of properties –  The Company acquired an interest in the Kodiak field in the Gulf of Mexico in 2014, which added proved reserves of natural gas during 2014.

 

Sales of properties  – The Company sold its interests in South Louisiana gas fields in 2014, plus it sold a 20% interest in oil and gas assets in Malaysia late in 2014.

 

2013 Comments for Proved Natural Gas Reserves Changes

Revisions of previous estimates – The U.S. natural gas proved reserves revisions in 2013 were unfavorable due to converting gas liquids volumes within the gas stream to proved NGL reserves.  Positive revisions in Canada were mostly attributable to better well performance in the Tupper West area.  Malaysia had positive gas revisions principally due to better well performance at gas fields offshore Sarawak and positive revisions due to better overall well production at the Kikeh field.

 

Improved recovery – The reserves add in Malaysia was attributable to better waterflood response at the Kikeh field due to better overall well production.

 

Extensions and discoveries – U.S. proved reserves of gas had adds in the Eagle Ford Shale due to additional offsets based on use of reliable technology with narrower downspacing in certain areas.  The gas reserve adds in Canada were at the Tupper West and Tupper areas primarily caused by drilling activities and recognition of offset undeveloped locations.  Natural gas proved reserve were added in Malaysia primarily due to initial booking of reserves of associated gas at three oil fields offshore Sarawak.

 

Sales of properties – The Company sold all of its U.K. oil and gas fields in the first half of 2013.
