CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS	CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $340 million and $338 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to additional drilling activity, partially offset by successful transfer of well costs and wells charged to dry hole expense in Egypt. No suspended exploratory well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2025 were charged to dry hole expense during the first six months of 2026. During the first six months of 2025, approximately $8 million of suspended well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2024 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.
