Asset Retirement Obligation [Abstract]  
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company updated the assumptions underlying the measurement of its Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) to reflect revised cost and timing estimates for the retirement activities at each site. The effect of the revisions was a net decrease in the aggregate ARO liability of approximately $1.6 million accounted for as follows:
•Downward revisions (site-by-site) were discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate(s) that existed when the related ARO layer was originally recognized.
•Upward revision was discounted using the current credit-adjusted risk-free rate and treated as a new layer of the liability.
•Where a downward revision in the ARO exceeded the remaining unamortized Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) historically capitalized to the underlying asset, the ARC was reduced to zero, and the excess was recognized as a credit to the income statement. Where the revision was absorbed within the remaining ARC, the corresponding reduction was recorded as an adjustment to the capitalized ARC and will be reflected prospectively.
The revision reflects updated cost estimates for site restoration and, for certain wells, changes in the expected scope and timing of decommissioning activities based on the latest technical assessments.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amounts of the Company’s asset retirement obligations included in non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
