| Subsequent Events | Note 18. Subsequent Events Beta Royalty Relief On, April 30, 2026, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) informed the Company that it had been approved for End-of-Life Royalty Relief for the Company’s interests in three Pacific Outer Continental Shelf blocks (P-300, P-0301, and P-0306), referred to as the Beta unit in the Beta Field located in federal waters approximately 11 miles offshore from the Port of Long Beach, California. The royalty relief is effective beginning May 1, 2026 for the Beta leases. On the Company’s two primary producing leases, the royalty rate was reduced from approximately 25% to 12.5%, and on the third lease, the royalty rate was reduced from 16.67% to 8.33%. Royalty relief rates will be suspended in months in which the rolling 12-month weighted average NYMEX oil and Henry Hub gas price exceeds $79.65 per BOE, which represents a 25% premium to the average realized price recognized by the Company during the qualification period. Royalty relief will end in the event that the rolling 12-month weighted average commodity prices exceed $79.65 per BOE, or if monthly production doubles the qualifying months’ average for 12 consecutive months.
