CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS | CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $297 million and $237 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase is attributable to additional drilling activity in Egypt and Alaska. Approximately $8 million of suspended exploratory well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2024 were charged to dry hole expense during the first six months of 2025. During the first six months of 2024, approximately $51 million of suspended well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2023 were charged to dry hole expense. Projects with suspended exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling are those identified by management as exhibiting sufficient quantities of hydrocarbons to justify potential development. Management is actively pursuing efforts to assess whether proved reserves can be attributed to these projects.
