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 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 because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations. As of March 31, 2022, our maximum exposure to loss was $3.2 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.
