The Company’s decommissioning liabilities result from net ownership interests in petroleum assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities. The Company estimates the total undiscounted escalated amount of cash flows required to settle its decommissioning liabilities to be approximately $350.5 million (December 31, 2025 - $342.8 million). For the period ended March 31, 2026, a credit-adjusted discount rate of 10.0% (December 31, 2025 -10.0%) and an inflation rate of 2.0% (December 31, 2025 - 2.0%) were used to calculate the decommissioning liabilities. A 1.0% change in the credit-adjusted discount rate would impact the discounted value of the decommissioning liabilities by approximately $3.9 million with a corresponding adjustment to PP&E. The decommissioning liabilities are estimated to be settled in periods up to year 2078, with the majority being incurred between 2047 and 2078.
