| SEGMENT REPORTING |
NOTE 13 — SEGMENT REPORTING In accordance with ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," the Company has performed an assessment of its reporting to comply with the new requirements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company's operations consist of the exploration, production, and sale of oil, natural gas, and NGLs, primarily within the Permian Basin of Texas, and is regulated by the RRC. The Company operates different areas within the Permian Basin, including the Northwest Shelf and Central Basin Platform. The Company's operations and financials are managed by one cohesive group of individuals, identified as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), consisting of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer; Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer; Executive Vice President and Chief Exploration Officer; Senior Vice President of Operations; and Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. The CODM group reviews the Company's operating results, including condensed financial statements on a monthly basis for evaluating performance and determining resource allocation. The significant expense categories provided to the CODM include lease operating expenses; gathering, transportation and processing costs; ad valorem taxes; and oil and natural gas production taxes. Each of these costs are deducted from oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues by operating segment to arrive at operating segment profit, used to assess performance. The Company assessed whether its operating segments exhibited similar economic characteristics and whether its operating segments had a similar nature of products, services, production processes, purchaser types/classes, product distribution, and regulatory environment. Each operating segment has similar products (oil, natural gas, and NGLs), similar production processes, similar types of purchasers (midstream companies, or companies with midstream components), similar methods of product delivery, and is governed by the same regulations. After a thorough analysis of each of these factors with regards to the Company's operating segments, it has been determined that it is appropriate to aggregate its operating segments into a single reportable segment, Exploration and Production, which includes all of its revenues, lease operating expenses, gathering, transportation and processing costs, ad valorem taxes, and oil and natural gas production taxes.
