Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves Future net cash flows are calculated by applying prescribed oil and gas selling prices used in determining yearend reserve estimates (adjusted for price changes provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future development and production costs, which are based on year-end costs and existing economic assumptions.
Future income tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates to the pre-tax net cash flows relating to the Corporation’s proved oil and gas reserves.
Future net cash flows are discounted at the prescribed rate of 10%.
The discounted future net cash flow estimates do not include exploration expenses, interest expense or corporate general and administrative expenses.
