Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets (including purchased goodwill and patents) are included at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources through this cash balance to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Provision has been made for the discounted cost of restoring the plant and pipelines on the Company's wellsites to a condition acceptable to the relevant authorities, which is not anticipated to happen until 26 years after the year end. The Company commissioned Dundas Consultants to calculate the current cost of decommissioning the wellsites, in the unlikely event that decommissioning was required immediately, and they reported in October 2019. These calculations have been adopted in these financial statements and revised to reflect current values at 31 December 2022. Actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend on the future cost of decommissioning which in turn will be affected by market conditions and regulations at the time. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning will depend on the date the fields cease to produce at commercial rates which is influenced by factors such as future gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.
