- Cash and cash equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets demonstrates notable volatility over the analyzed periods. Initial values were low, fluctuating around 0.2% to 1.5%. There was a sharp increase to a peak of 5.18% in September 2017, followed by a decline and subsequent fluctuations. From March 2021 to December 2021, the percentage showed an upward trend, reaching a high of 2.86%, before sharply declining to 0.11% by September 2022.
- Restricted cash
- This component was not reported in earlier periods but appears from 2020 onwards with small percentages ranging between 0.02% and 0.09%, suggesting limited and steady amounts relative to total assets in recent years.
- Accounts receivable, joint interest and other, net
- These accounted for less than 1% for most periods, starting at 0.88%, peaking at 1.06% early in 2017, then generally declining with some fluctuation. There was a noticeable dip in late 2020, reaching a low around 0.31%, but a slight recovery occurred afterward.
- Accounts receivable, oil and natural gas sales, net
- Exhibits moderate variability within a range of approximately 1.2% to over 4.0%. There was a downward trend in 2020 with a minimum of 0.96% in March 2020, followed by a consistent increase reaching a peak of 4.14% in March 2022, before declining modestly in the subsequent quarters.
- Inventories
- Gradually increased throughout the timeframe, starting near 0.05% and rising steadily with minor fluctuations, arriving at approximately 0.25% by the latest period, reflecting a slow but persistent accumulation relative to total assets.
- Derivative instruments
- Demonstrated sporadic presence and irregular fluctuations, including a significant peak at 2.28% in December 2019, but generally remained below 1%. More recent periods show small values ranging from 0.03% to 0.41%, indicating a variable but generally modest use of these instruments relative to total assets.
- Income tax receivable
- Reported only intermittently from 2020 onward, with small percentages between 0.01% and 0.57%, indicating occasional recognition of tax assets.
- Assets held for sale
- Only appears in a limited number of periods with a value of 0.37% in 2021, suggesting rare classification of assets in this category.
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets
- Exhibited fluctuations without a clear trend, generally small ranging from 0.05% to 0.60%. Some spikes are visible, specifically in March 2019 (0.27%) and March 2020 (0.60%), but these did not establish a sustained upward movement.
- Current assets
- Experienced fluctuations between approximately 2.6% and 8.1%. Marked peak occurred in September 2018 at 8.11%, followed by a decline and subsequent stabilization around mid-single digits. The variability reflects dynamic changes in short-term asset composition.
- Oil and natural gas properties, full cost method of accounting
- This major asset class showed an initial gradual decline from approximately 123.6% in early 2017 to a low roughly around 103.3% in late 2018, followed by a significant increase between 2019 and 2020, peaking around 155.4% in December 2020. Thereafter, it stabilized around 144% to 147%, indicating substantial investment or capitalized costs over time.
- Other property, equipment and land
- Presented a gradual increase from below 2% in 2017 to approximately 6.5% by late 2020, then a slight decline and stabilization around 5.5% afterward, suggesting incremental additions or revaluation followed by some stabilizing adjustments.
- Accumulated depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment
- Displayed a deepening negative balance, starting near -27.8% at the end of 2017, worsening significantly to nearly -70% by late 2020. From 2021 onward, values remained in a narrow band between -57% and -61%, reflecting escalating accumulated charges against assets, consistent with aging asset base and impairment recognition.
- Property and equipment, net
- Remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 90% and 96% of total assets during the entire period. A mild decline was observable towards the end of the period, suggesting some net asset base reduction or amortization effects.
- Funds held in escrow
- Displayed minor fluctuations, mostly below 0.3%, appearing sporadically with no sustained trend, indicating limited funds being held in escrow relative to total assets.
- Equity method investments
- Emerging from zero reported value to a gradual increase up to approximately 2.8% of total assets by 2022, reflecting growing investments accounted for using the equity method.
- Deferred income taxes, net
- Displayed minor and variable values generally under 1%, with a modest peak near 0.97% in mid-2018, then consistently declining towards roughly 0.14% to 0.31% in later periods, suggesting changes in deferred tax positions.
- Investment in real estate, net
- Decreased steadily from about 1.33% in 2018 to around 0.36% by late 2022, indicating a gradual disposition or amortization of real estate assets.
- Other assets
- Remained a small component, ranging generally between 0.2% to 1.0%. A gradual decline over time is present, consistent with minor disposals or reclassifications.
- Long-term assets
- Accounted for the vast majority of total assets consistently above 90%, showing minor fluctuations but no significant trend changes, underscoring the asset-intensive nature of operations.
- Total assets
- Consistently normalized to 100% throughout the periods, serving as the base for relative measurements.
