[1]	Operating lease costs reflect a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
[2]	Short-term lease costs are reported at gross amounts and primarily represent costs incurred for drilling rigs and well intervention vessels, most of which are short-term contracts not recognized as a ROU asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term operating lease costs incurred during the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future short-term lease costs and obligations, as it routinely executes short-term contracts for the use of drilling rigs to support its drilling activities. Short-term lease costs for drilling rigs can vary significantly based on the timing of the drilling program. Market conditions can also contribute to the volatility and variability of short-term drilling rig lease costs.
[3]	Variable lease costs primarily represent differences between minimum payment obligations and actual operating charges incurred by the Company related to its long-term leases.
