Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements	Mar. 31, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements	Note A – Nature of Business and Interim Financial Statements NATURE OF BUSINESS – Murphy Oil Corporation is an international oil and natural gas exploration and production company that conducts its business through various operating subsidiaries. The Company primarily produces oil and natural gas in the United States (U.S.) and Canada and conducts oil and natural gas exploration activities worldwide. In connection with the LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings, L.L.C. (LLOG) acquisition, we hold a 0.5% interest in two variable interest entities (VIEs), Delta House Oil and Gas Lateral LLC and Delta House Floating Production System (FPS) LLC (collectively Delta House). These VIEs have not been consolidated as Murphy is not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations. As of March 31, 2023, our maximum exposure to loss was $3.1 million (excluding operational impacts), which represents our net investment in Delta House. We have not provided any financial support to Delta House other than amounts previously required by our membership interest. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – In the opinion of Murphy’s management, the unaudited financial statements presented herein include all accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of operations, statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting of amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K report, as certain notes and other pertinent information have been abbreviated or omitted in this report. Financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (collectively oil and natural gas) in select basins around the globe. The Company’s revenue from sales of oil and natural gas production activities are primarily subdivided into two key geographic segments: the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, revenue from sales to customers is generated from three primary revenue streams: crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids, and natural gas.

For operated oil and natural gas production where the non-operated working interest owner does not take in kind its proportionate interest in the produced commodity, the Company acts as an agent for the working interest owner and recognizes revenue only for its own share of the commingled production. The exception to this is the reporting of the noncontrolling interest in MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM) as prescribed by ASC 810-10-45.

U.S. - In the U.S., the Company primarily produces oil and natural gas from fields in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas and in the Gulf of Mexico. Revenue is generally recognized when oil and natural gas are transferred to the customer at the delivery point. Revenue recognized is largely index-based with price adjustments for floating market differentials.

Canada - In Canada, contracts include long-term floating commodity index priced and natural gas physical forward sales fixed-price contracts. For the offshore business in Canada, contracts are based on index prices and revenue is recognized at the time

of vessel load, based on the volumes on the bill of lading and point of custody transfer. The Company also purchases natural gas in Canada to meet certain sales commitments.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company reviews performance based on two key geographical segments and between onshore and offshore sources of revenue within these geographies.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized $840.0 million and $871.4 million, respectively, from total revenue from sales to customers, from sales of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas.

Contract Balances and Asset Recognition

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, receivables from contracts with customers, net of royalties and associated payables, on the balance sheets from continuing operations, were $205.2 million and $201.1 million, respectively. Payment terms for the Company’s sales vary across contracts and geographical regions, with the majority of the cash receipts required within 30 days of billing. Based on a forward-looking expected loss model in accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on receivables or contract assets arising from customer contracts during the reporting periods.

The Company has not entered into any revenue contracts that have financing components as of March 31, 2023.

The Company does not employ sales incentive strategies such as commissions or bonuses for obtaining sales contracts. For the periods presented, the Company did not identify any assets to be recognized associated with the costs to obtain a contract with a customer.

Performance Obligations

The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a commodity to a customer. Judgment is required to determine whether some customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of commodities. As a result of this assessment for the Company, each unit of measure of the specified commodity is considered to represent a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the commodity.

For contracts with market or index-based pricing, which represent the majority of sales contracts, the Company has elected the allocation exception and allocates the variable consideration to each single performance obligation in the contract. As a result, there is no price allocation to unsatisfied remaining performance obligations for delivery of commodity product in subsequent periods.

The Company has entered into several long-term, fixed-price contracts in Canada. The underlying reason for entering a fixed price contract is generally unrelated to anticipated future prices or other observable data and serves a particular purpose in the Company’s long-term strategy.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had the following sales contracts in place which are expected to generate revenue from sales to customers for a period of more than 12 months starting at the inception of the contract:

Exploratory Wells

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance, exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total capitalized exploratory well costs for continuing operations pending the determination of proved reserves of $196.5 million. The following table reflects the net changes in capitalized exploratory well costs during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.


(Thousands of dollars)	2023		2022
Beginning balance at January 1	$	171,860	$	179,481
Additions pending the determination of proved reserves	24,685		3,698

Capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense	–		(10,473)
Balance at March 31	$	196,545	$	172,706

Capital well additions of $24.7 million are primarily related to Oso-1 well (Atwater Valley 138) in the Gulf of Mexico. In the first quarter of 2023, drilling of the Oso-1 well was temporarily suspended prior to reaching the objective. The Company plans to return to the well in the third quarter of 2023. There were no capitalized well costs charged to expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The following table provides an aging of capitalized exploratory well costs based on the date the drilling was completed for each individual well and the number of projects for which exploratory well costs have been capitalized. The projects are aged based on the last well drilled in the project.


	March 31,
	2023				2022

(Thousands of dollars)	Amount		No. of Wells	No. of Projects	Amount		No. of Wells	No. of Projects
Aging of capitalized well costs:
Zero to one year	$	40,236	2	2	$	2,810	2	2
One to two years	13,171		2	2	–		–	–
Two to three years	–		–	–	23,667		3	3
Three years or more	143,138		5	4	146,229		8	2
	$	196,545	9	8	$	172,706	13	7

Of the $156.3 million of exploratory well costs capitalized more than one year at March 31, 2023, $97.2 million was in Vietnam, $37.0 million was in the U.S., $14.7 million was in Mexico, $4.7 million was in Canada, and $2.7 million was in Brunei. In all geographical areas, either further appraisal or development drilling is planned and/or development studies/plans are in various stages of completion.

Impairments

There were no impairments in the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

Financing Arrangements and Debt	Mar. 31, 2023
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Financing Arrangements and Debt	Note E – Financing Arrangements and Debt As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an $800 million revolving credit facility (RCF). The RCF is a senior unsecured guaranteed facility which expires on November 17, 2027, unless the outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 5.75% senior notes due 2025 (2025 Notes) as at February 15, 2025 exceeds $50.0 million, in which case, the RCF will expire on that date. At March 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the RCF and $30.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing capacity of the RCF. At March 31, 2023, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the RCF would have been 7.40%. At March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the RCF. The Company also has a shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that permits the offer and sale of debt and/or equity securities through October 15, 2024.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Incentive Plans

Note H – Incentive Plans

The costs resulting from all share-based and cash-based incentive plans are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations using a fair value-based measurement method over the periods that the awards vest.

The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) authorizes the Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and certain other employees. Cash awards under the AIP are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee.

The 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2020 Long-Term Plan) authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s Common Stock to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock options (nonqualified or incentive), stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSU), performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives. The 2020 Long-Term Plan expires in 2030. A total of five million shares are issuable during the life of the 2020 Long-Term Plan. Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market. Share awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an award shall not count as shares issued under the Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Committee granted the following awards from the 2020 Long-Term Plan:

Earnings Per Share

Note I – Earnings Per Share

Net income (loss) attributable to Murphy was used as the numerator in computing both basic and diluted income per Common share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The following table reports the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Weighted-average shares)		2023	2022

Dilutive stock options and restricted stock units ¹		1,532,057	–
Diluted method		157,388,566	154,916,004

1 Due to a net loss recognized by the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, no unvested stock awards were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note J – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate is calculated as the amount of income tax expense (benefit) divided by income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rates were as follows:


	2023	2022

Three months ended March 31,	20.1%	20.7%

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to no tax applied to the pre-tax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, offset by the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, was below the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to exploration expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions in which no income tax benefit is currently available, offset by no tax applied to the pre-tax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM.

The Company’s tax returns in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits often take years to complete and settle. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future years from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters. Additionally, the Company has paid amounts into escrow, and may from time to time pay more amounts into escrow, in order to continue tax disputes with the relevant taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2023, the earliest years remaining open for audit and/or settlement in our major taxing jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. – 2016; Canada – 2016; and Malaysia – 2016. Following the sale in 2019, the Company has retained certain possible liabilities and rights to income tax receivables relating to the divested Malaysia business for the years prior to 2019. The Company believes current recorded liabilities are adequate.

- Definition

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Note K – Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Murphy, at times, uses derivative instruments, to manage certain risks related to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Company has a risk management control system to monitor commodity price risks and any derivatives obtained to manage a portion of such risks. For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts as

hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Commodity Price Risks

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding crude oil derivative contracts.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company had crude oil swaps and collar contracts. Under the swaps contracts, which matured monthly, the Company paid the average monthly price in effect and received the fixed contract price on a notional amount of sales volume, thereby fixing the price for the commodity sold. Under the collar contracts, which also matured monthly, the Company purchased a put option and sold a call option with no net premiums paid to or received from counterparties. Upon maturity, collar contracts required payments by the Company if the NYMEX average closing price was above the ceiling price or payments to the Company if the NYMEX average closing price was below the floor price.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risks

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk associated with operations in countries outside the U.S. The Company had no foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2023 and 2022.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in the following table.

Fair Values – Recurring

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The carrying value of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are presented in the following table.


	March 31, 2023								December 31, 2022
(Thousands of dollars)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total


Liabilities:
Nonqualified employee savings plan	15,069		–		–		15,069		15,135		–		–		15,135
	$	15,069	$	–	$	–	$	15,069	$	15,135	$	–	$	–	$	15,135

The nonqualified employee savings plan is an unfunded savings plan through which participants seek a return via phantom investments in equity securities and/or mutual funds. The fair value of this liability was based on quoted prices for these equity securities and mutual funds. The income effect of changes in the fair value of the nonqualified employee savings plan is recorded in “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2023, there were no outstanding commodity (WTI crude oil) swaps and collars contracts subject to fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding commodity (WTI crude oil) swaps and collars contracts subject to fair value measurement. The liabilities associated with these contracts have been finalized as of December 31, 2022 and were based on realized WTI pricing. The commodity swaps and collars liability as of December 31, 2022 was $19.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and recorded as “Accounts payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In 2019, the Company acquired strategic deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets from LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings, L.L.C. (LLOG). Under the terms of the transaction, in addition to the consideration paid, Murphy had an

obligation to pay additional contingent consideration of up to $200 million in the event that certain revenue thresholds were exceeded between 2019 and 2022; and $50 million following first oil from certain development projects. The revenue threshold was not exceeded for 2019 or 2020; however, the threshold was met in 2021 and 2022. The obligation period related to LLOG revenue-related contingent consideration ended in 2022, with final payments being made in the first half of 2023.

In 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired Gulf of Mexico producing assets from Petrobras America Inc. (PAI), a subsidiary of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. Under the terms of the transaction, in addition to the consideration paid, Murphy had an obligation to pay additional contingent consideration of up to $150 million if certain price and production thresholds were exceeded beginning in 2019 through 2025; and $50 million carry for PAI development costs in the St. Malo Field if certain enhanced oil recovery projects are undertaken. The price and production thresholds were not exceeded for 2019 and 2020; however, the thresholds were met in 2021 and 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Murphy had completely funded the carried interest. As of December 31, 2022, the $150 million obligation limit was achieved.

As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s liabilities with PAI and LLOG were based on realized inputs of volumes and pricing as a result of contractual thresholds or reaching time limitations which ended in 2022. As a result, the related liabilities as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of $25.0 million and $192.7 million, respectively, were no longer subject to fair value measurement. The liability remaining is included in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid a total of $171.7 million in contingent consideration payments, thereby reducing the liability balance. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, $124.0 million is shown in operating activities and $47.7 million is shown in financing activities. The remaining $25.0 million of contingent consideration liability at March 31, 2023, balance was paid in April 2023.

The Company offsets certain assets and liabilities related to derivative contracts when the legal right of offset exists. There were no offsetting positions recorded at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of current and long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.

Environmental and Other Contingencies	3 Months Ended

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
Environmental and Other Contingencies	Note M – Environmental and Other Contingencies The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action both in the United States and throughout the world. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax legislation changes, including tax rate changes, and retroactive tax claims; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and natural gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws, regulations and government action intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment including in connection with the purported causes or potential impacts of climate change; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Given the factors involved in various government actions, including political considerations, it is difficult to predict their likelihood, the form they may take, or the effect they may have on the Company. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS – Murphy and other companies in the oil and natural gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations dealing with the environment and protection of health and safety. The principal environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which Murphy is subject address such matters as the generation, storage, handling, use, disposal and remediation of petroleum products, wastewater and hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of such materials to the environment, including GHG emissions; wildlife, habitat and water protection; the placement, operation and decommissioning of production equipment; and the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities where our operations are located. These laws and regulations also generally require permits for existing operations, as well as the construction or development of new operations and the decommissioning facilities once production has ceased. Violation of federal or state environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result. In addition, Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to this item, the Company will be using a threshold of $1.0 million for such proceedings and the Company is not aware of environment legal proceedings likely to exceed this $1.0 million threshold. There continues to be an increase in regulatory oversight of the oil and gas industry at the federal level, with a focus on climate change and GHG emissions (including methane emissions). For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 contains provisions that impose fees for excess methane emissions from petroleum and natural gas facilities. In addition, there have been a number of executive orders issued that address climate change, including creation of climate-related task forces, directives to federal agencies to procure carbon-free electricity, and a goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero emissions U.S. economy by 2050. Executive orders have also been issued related to oil and gas activities on federal lands, infrastructure and environmental justice. In addition, an international climate agreement (the Paris Agreement) was agreed to at the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016. Although the U.S. officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020, the U.S. has since rejoined the Paris Agreement, which became effective for the U.S. on February 19, 2021. The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. Hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where these wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under Murphy’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to investigate, remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to investigate and clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. Certain of these historical properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses. The Company has retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters at formerly owned U.S. refineries that were sold in 2011. The Company also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures related to past operations of these refineries. Murphy USA Inc. has retained any environmental exposure associated with Murphy’s former U.S. marketing operations that were spun-off in August 2013. The Company believes costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period. There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and additional expenditures could be required at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future investigation and remediation costs incurred at known or currently unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. LEGAL MATTERS – Murphy and its subsidiaries are engaged in a number of other legal proceedings (including litigation related to climate change), all of which Murphy considers routine and incidental to its business. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of environmental and legal matters referred to in this note is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for environmental loss contingencies, such as presence of hazardous waste, relevant information from reports issued by regulators, and estimated costs to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements. This element may be used for all of an entity's disclosures about environmental loss contingencies.
