Costs of oil and gas properties acquisition

  
Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized. Depreciation of the cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production (UOP) method. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the carrying value of associated proved oil and gas properties. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved properties is the sum of proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves. The reserve base used to calculate the depreciation for capitalized well costs is the sum of proved developed reserves only. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are included in the depreciable cost. Oil and gas properties are grouped for depreciation in accordance with ASC 932 “Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas.” The basis for grouping is a reasonable aggregation of properties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field. When circumstances indicate that the carrying value of proved oil and gas properties may not be recoverable, the Company compares unamortized capitalized costs to the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows for the associated assets grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of cash flows of other assets. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows, based on the Company’s estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using the income approach described in ASC 820. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments, a Level 3 fair value measurement. Unproved leasehold impairments are typically recorded as a component of “Exploration” expense in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Gains and losses on divestitures of the Company’s oil and gas properties are recognized in the statement of consolidated operations upon closing of the transaction. Refer to [Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures](#i28a24ff9302249c2abf373774f12d90c_49) for more detail. Gathering, Processing, and Transmission (GPT) Facilities GPT facilities are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimation of useful life takes into consideration anticipated production lives from the fields serviced by the GPT assets, whether APA-operated or third party-operated, as well as potential development plans by the Company for undeveloped acreage within, or close to, those fields. The Company assesses the carrying amount of its GPT facilities whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of these facilities is more than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. 2.    ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES2022 ActivityIn July 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of oil and gas assets in the Delaware Basin for a purchase price of $505 million. The transaction closed on July 29, 2022 for a total cost of $555 million, after including post-effective date adjustments to date. The acquisition was effective April 1, 2022, and was funded primarily from borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. A deposit of $51 million was paid during the second quarter in association with this transaction.During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed leasehold and property acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin, for total cash consideration of $26 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company also completed the sale of non-core assets and leasehold in multiple transactions for total cash proceeds of $7 million, recognizing a gain of approximately $1 million upon closing of these transactions.During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed a previously announced transaction to sell certain non-core mineral rights in the Delaware Basin. The Company received total cash proceeds of approximately $736 million after certain post-closing adjustments and recognized an associated gain of approximately $563 million. The Company also completed the sale of other non-core assets and leasehold in multiple transactions for total cash proceeds of $8 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1 million upon closing of these transactions during the first quarter of 2022.10
