Balance Sheet: Assets Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
The total asset base exhibited a period of steady growth from March 2011 through June 2013, increasing from 44,866 million US$ to a peak of 63,350 million US$. Following this peak, total assets remained relatively stable until late 2014, after which a severe contraction occurred. By December 2015, total assets had declined to 18,842 million US$, representing a significant reduction in the company's overall scale before a modest recovery to 24,346 million US$ by June 2016.
Current Asset Trends and Liquidity
Current assets fluctuated between 4,000 million US$ and 6,400 million US$ for much of the period, peaking in December 2014. A notable downward trend is observed in receivables, which declined from a high of 3,163 million US$ in March 2012 to 1,016 million US$ by June 2016. Cash and cash equivalents showed high volatility, with a significant spike to 2,950 million US$ in June 2015, followed by a decrease to 1,201 million US$ by June 2016.
Fixed Asset and Property Valuation
Proved properties grew consistently from 59,397 million US$ in March 2011 to a peak of 91,634 million US$ in March 2015. However, a precipitous drop occurred between December 2015 and March 2016, where the value fell from 89,069 million US$ to 42,161 million US$. This suggests a major divestiture or a significant impairment event. Similarly, the net value of property and equipment plummeted from a peak of 53,035 million US$ in September 2014 to 14,119 million US$ by December 2015.
Depreciation and Asset Restructuring
Accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization grew steadily from -30,531 million US$ in March 2011 to -79,706 million US$ in December 2015. The sudden reduction of this contra-asset account to -25,985 million US$ in March 2016, coinciding with the sharp drop in proved properties, indicates the removal of large portions of the asset base from the balance sheet, likely through the sale or spin-off of assets.
Other Asset Observations
The emergence of assets held for sale in December 2014 (1,628 million US$) and March 2015 (1,804 million US$) served as a leading indicator for the subsequent contraction of the balance sheet. Additionally, gathering, transmission, and processing facilities saw a steady increase up to 7,874 million US$ in September 2014 before declining sharply to 862 million US$ by June 2016.
