THE RESERVE PETROLEUM COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Reserve Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and gas company engaged in oil and natural gas exploration, development and minerals management with areas of concentration in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, a single business segment. The Company is also engaged in investments that are not significant business segments. The Company’s consolidated entities consist of Grand Woods Development, LLC (“Grand Woods”), an Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned Trinity Water Services, LLC ("TWS"), an Oklahoma limited liability company. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “the Company,” “its,” “our,” and “we” are to The Reserve Petroleum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Reserve Petroleum Company and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company holds a controlling interest, reflecting ownership of a majority of the voting interest, as of the financial statement date. Additionally, the Company consolidates VIEs under certain criteria discussed further below. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company changed its presentation method on the statement of cash flows from the direct method to the indirect method. The indirect method is predominantly used in practice, provides a useful link to income statements and balance sheets, is more familiar to financial statement users and is the less costly approach to prepare. The Company has recast the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and related disclosures for the period ended June 30, 2023, to conform to the indirect presentation method in the current period.

When necessary, reclassifications that are not material to the consolidated financial statements are made to prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or retained earnings.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company decides at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which an investment is made or in which we have other variable interests is considered a VIE. Generally, an entity is a VIE if (1) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the entity’s investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity was established with non-substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates VIEs when the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the party that both: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in such VIEs in accordance with applicable GAAP.

Table of Contents

Non-Controlling Interests

When the Company consolidates an entity, 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. For those consolidated entities in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the Company records a non-controlling interest as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, which represents the third-party ownership in the net assets of the respective consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, the portion of the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of income. Changes in ownership interests in an entity that do not result in deconsolidation are generally recognized within equity. See Note 5 for additional details on non-controlling interests.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. Under this ASU, the scope and frequency of segment disclosures is increased to provide investors with additional detail about information utilized by an entity’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker.” This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. This ASU applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Master Glossary. While joint ventures are defined in the Master Glossary, there has been no specific guidance in the Codification that applies to the formation accounting by a joint venture in its separate financial statements. The amendments in the ASU require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Note 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

A portion of oil and natural gas sales recorded in the consolidated statements of income are the result of estimated volumes and pricing for oil and natural gas payments not yet received for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, that estimate represented $1,719,886 and $1,748,836, respectively, of oil and natural gas sales included in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary revenue sources, which are oil sales and natural gas sales. The following is an analysis of the components of oil and natural gas sales:

Grand Woods holds approximately 26.56 acres of undeveloped real estate in northeast Oklahoma City.

On September 15, 2022, Grand Woods entered into an agreement (“the 2022 Agreement”) with its members that resulted in the Company having the power to direct the activities significant to Grand Woods and becoming the primary beneficiary; therefore, consolidation of Grand Woods became required and effective for the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company is the only guarantor of $1,200,000 of a note payable held by Grand Woods. See Note 6 for terms and guaranty of debt held by Grand Woods, which is included in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Company’s guaranty of $1,200,000 of Grand Woods debt, the note holder has partial recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIE’s liabilities.

TWS is accounted for as a consolidated VIE. TWS entered into a Joint Venture Agreement ("the Agreement") with TWS South, LLC ("TWS South"), a Texas limited liability company, on March 19, 2021, to form a water well drilling company where TWS would provide funding for equipment and operations, with TWS South providing industry expertise for operations and securing customers in the central Texas region. Equipment and vehicles totaling $330,000 were purchased by TWS South and operating cash of $70,000 was made available to begin operations. The Agreement provided that TWS receive all net profits until a total of $300,000 plus 1.2 times any additional funding was reached. Since the effective date of the Agreement, the Company has contributed a net of $1,150,000 toward the joint venture with losses totaling $598,080 as of June 30, 2024.

The Agreement states that if net profits received by the Company do not reach $300,000 plus 1.2 times any additional funding within twelve months of the effective date, the Company has the right to terminate the Agreement. The Agreement also states that TWS South would devote substantially all time and attention to this joint venture. Following the discovery that TWS South breached the Agreement by assuming ownership and operating another drilling company, the Company terminated the Agreement on April 19, 2024.

Table of Contents

On the April 19, 2024 termination and deconsolidation date, TWS South balance sheet items consisted of a drilling rig, various equipment and vehicles with net book value of $296,717, accounts receivable of $465,977, cash of $89,812, and no liabilities. TWS South contributed its accounts receivable and $85,943 in cash to TWS and the Company is in ongoing negotiations with TWS South to reach a settlement for the breach of the Agreement. Management has performed an assessment of the assets and did not identify any indicators of impairment. TWS South holds title to each of the vehicles, with TWS as lienholder. TWS is also lienholder on the drilling rig, which is registered as machinery in Texas to TWS South. The equipment and vehicles are no longer consolidated as of the April 19, 2024 termination date. Deconsolidation of TWS South resulted in a loss of $296,717, which is recorded in Other Income, Net on the consolidated income statement. The Company will record any additional consideration once a settlement has been reached, which may reduce the loss recorded in future periods.

The following table presents the summarized assets and liabilities of Grand Woods and TWS included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The assets of Grand Woods and TWS in the table below may only be used to settle obligations of Grand Woods or TWS, respectively.

Note 6 – NOTE PAYABLE

Grand Woods has a note payable (“the Note”) that was used for the purchase and development of property. The Note has a 4% interest rate and matures November 23, 2026. The Note has scheduled payments of principal and interest in the amount of $16,034 per month, with a balloon payment of any unpaid principal balance due on November 23, 2026. The balance of the Note at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is $1,230,525 and $1,300,872, respectively, of which $145,178 is classified as current at June 30, 2024. Interest paid on the Note, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $25,858 and $28,501, respectively. The Note is secured by the underlying property and a $1,200,000 guaranty issued by the Company. Covenants of the Note include a pay down requirement that states that sales of parcels will require a pay down on the loan of 90% of the net proceeds received from the purchaser less capital gains tax obligation. The remaining 10% shall be held in an operating reserve account for operating expenses and the use in payment of taxes. No distributions to partners, except for taxes, are permitted throughout the term of the loan. The intent of the Grand Woods investment manager and members is that proceeds from the sale of all, or part of, the property will be used to reduce or eliminate the Note. The Company does not anticipate the need to perform on the guaranty of the Note.

Below is a schedule of future principal payments on the outstanding Note at June 30, 2024:


Years Ending December 31,	Principal Payments
2024	71,789

Note 7 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

In 2024 and 2023, the effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate, primarily as a result of allowable depletion for tax purposes in excess of the cost basis in oil and natural gas properties.

Excess federal percentage depletion, which is limited to certain production volumes and by certain income levels, reduces estimated taxable income projected for any year. The federal excess percentage depletion estimates will be updated throughout the year until finalized with the detail well-by-well calculations at year-end. When a provision for income taxes is recorded, federal excess percentage depletion benefits decrease the effective tax rate. When a benefit for income taxes is recorded, federal excess percentage depletion benefits increase the effective tax rate. The benefit of federal excess percentage depletion is not directly related to the amount of pre-tax income recorded in a period. Accordingly, in periods where a recorded pre-tax income is relatively small, the proportional effect of these items on the effective tax rate may be significant.

Note 8 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

The Company records the fair value of its estimated liability to retire its oil and natural gas producing properties in the period in which it is incurred (typically the date of first sale). The estimated liability is calculated by obtaining current estimated plugging costs from the well operators and inflating it over the life of the property. Current year inflation rate used is 2.50%. When the liability is first recorded, a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is also recorded. Subsequently, the asset is amortized to expense over the life of the property and the liability is increased annually for the change in its present value which is currently 7.50%.

A reconciliation of the Company’s asset retirement obligation liability is as follows:


Balance at December 31, 2023	$	2,566,368
Revision to estimate	(387,374)
Accretion expense	82,642
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	2,261,636

Note 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets of the Company are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis. The Company determined the fair value of equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities using quoted market prices, public Net Asset Values ("NAV") and where applicable, securities with similar maturity dates and interest rates. Level 3 assets use NAV as fair value.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

The fair value hierarchy tables do not include investments where the Company has elected to use the NAV as a practical expedient to determine the fair value. These assets consist of a private business development fund classified under section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Liquidity is only attained through sales on the secondary market.

A reconciliation to the balance sheet equity securities is as follows:


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Level 1 Assets	$	2,903,714	$	2,664,066

The $758,756 in Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy tables using NAV that is published and used for current transactions as fair value consist of a private perpetual business development fund. Redemption terms include expected quarterly repurchase offers pursuant to a unit repurchase program of up to 5% of outstanding units, either by number of units or aggregate net asset value as of such quarter end.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s asset retirement obligation annually represents a non-recurring fair value liability, for which there were no liabilities incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. See Note 8 above for more information about this liability and the inputs used for calculating fair value.

There were no Impairment losses recorded on oil and gas assets in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Impairment losses recorded on oil and gas assets in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $443,456. This also relates to non-recurring fair value measurements calculated using Level 3 inputs. Certain oil and natural gas producing properties have been deemed to be impaired because the assets, evaluated on a property-by-property basis, are not expected to recover their entire carrying value through future cash flows. Impairment losses, when recorded, are included in the consolidated statements of income in the line-item Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Valuation Provision. Impairments are calculated by reducing the carrying value of the individual properties to an estimated fair value equal to the discounted present value of the future cash flow from these properties. Forward pricing is used for calculating future revenue and cash flow.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables. At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the historical cost of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term liquidity or maturities of these items.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Please refer to the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows in this Form 10-Q to supplement the following discussion. In the first six months of 2024, the Company continued to fund its business activity using internal sources of cash.

Cash provided by financing activities included Grand Woods Class C non-controlling interest contributions of $7,552. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,065,823 (40%) to $3,152,651 at June 30, 2024, from $5,218,474 at December 31, 2023.

Discussion of Significant Changes in Working Capital. In addition to the changes in cash and cash equivalents discussed above, there were other changes in working capital line items from December 31, 2023. A discussion of these items follows.

Equity securities increased $1,119,930 (42%) to $3,783,996 as of June 30, 2024, from $2,664,066 at December 31, 2023. The increase resulted from $104,386 in net purchases, reclassification of $148,042 in cost basis for Chilean Cobalt Corp. ("C3") from Other Investments. This was a result of an Initial Public Offering on April 29, 2024. We also had $867,502 net increases in market value, including a $777,222 unrealized gain on C3.

Accounts receivable increased $461,723 (20%) to $2,828,386 as of June 30, 2024, from $2,366,663 at December 31, 2023, resulting from increases in trade and other accounts receivable of $249,135, primarily related to the increase in TWS water well drilling receivables, and oil and gas receivables of $212,588, primarily due to increased volumes on expected production accrued.

Accounts payable increased $26,368 (5%) to $564,164 as of June 30, 2024, from $537,796 at December 31, 2023, primarily due to timing differences in the processing of accounts payable.

Table of Contents

Other current liabilities increased $43,855 (342%) to $56,694 as of June 30, 2024, from $12,839 at December 31, 2023, due to an increase of $37,846 in payroll taxes resulting from bringing payroll in-house and changed timing of payroll tax remittance, and an increase in state income and accrued property taxes of $6,009.

Net income attributable to common stockholders increased $894,070 (99%) to $1,793,892 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $899,822 in the comparable period in 2023. Net income per share attributable to common stockholders, basic, increased $5.82 to $11.58 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $5.76 in the comparable period in 2023. A discussion of revenue from oil and natural gas sales and other significant line items in the consolidated statements of income follows.

Operating Revenues. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales increased $1,205,370 (21%) to $6,848,266 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $5,642,896 in the comparable period in 2023. The increase is due to an increase in oil sales of $1,047,384, an increase in natural gas sales of $173,227, and a decrease in miscellaneous oil and natural gas product sales of $15,241.

The $1,047,384 (23%) increase in oil sales to $5,586,883 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $4,539,499 in the comparable period in 2023 was the result of an increase in the volume sold and an increase in the average price per barrel (Bbl). The volume of oil sold increased 9,173 Bbls to 72,674 Bbls in the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in a positive volume variance of $655,778. The average price per Bbl increased $5.39 to $76.88 per Bbl in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $71.49 per Bbl in the comparable period in 2023, resulting in a positive price variance of $391,606.

The $173,227 (18%) increase in natural gas sales to $1,145,059 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $971,832 in the comparable period in 2023 was the result of an increase in the volume sold and a decrease in the average price per thousand cubic feet ("MCF"). The volume of natural gas sold increased 84,016 MCF to 434,184 MCF in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from 350,168 MCF in the comparable period in 2023, resulting in a positive volume variance of $233,564.

For both oil and natural gas sales, the price change was mostly the result of a change in the spot market prices upon which most of the Company’s oil and natural gas sales are based. These spot market prices have had significant fluctuations in the past and these fluctuations are expected to continue.

Sales of miscellaneous oil and natural gas products were $116,324 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $131,565 in the comparable period in 2023.

Water well drilling revenues ceased on the joint venture agreement termination date of April 19, 2024. See Note 5 for additional information on TWS.

Gross production taxes increased $110,387 (36%) due to increased revenues from oil and natural gas sales in 2024.

Exploration Costs. Exploration costs decreased $245,494 (43%) to $328,075 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $573,569 in the comparable period in 2023, due to a decrease of $92,963 in geological and geophysical and other expenses, and $157,356 in dry hole and plugging costs, offset by an increase of $4,825 in leasehold impairments.

Water Well Drilling Costs. Water well drilling costs increased $95,608 (30%) to $410,178 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $314,570 in the comparable period in 2023.

As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION	6 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Jun. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Reserve Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and gas company engaged in oil and natural gas exploration, development and minerals management with areas of concentration in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, a single business segment. The Company is also engaged in investments that are not significant business segments. The Company’s consolidated entities consist of Grand Woods Development, LLC (“Grand Woods”), an Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned Trinity Water Services, LLC ("TWS"), an Oklahoma limited liability company. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “the Company,” “its,” “our,” and “we” are to The Reserve Petroleum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Reserve Petroleum Company and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company holds a controlling interest, reflecting ownership of a majority of the voting interest, as of the financial statement date. Additionally, the Company consolidates VIEs under certain criteria discussed further below. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company changed its presentation method on the statement of cash flows from the direct method to the indirect method. The indirect method is predominantly used in practice, provides a useful link to income statements and balance sheets, is more familiar to financial statement users and is the less costly approach to prepare. The Company has recast the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and related disclosures for the period ended June 30, 2023, to conform to the indirect presentation method in the current period. When necessary, reclassifications that are not material to the consolidated financial statements are made to prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or retained earnings. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2023 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Variable Interest Entities The Company decides at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which an investment is made or in which we have other variable interests is considered a VIE. Generally, an entity is a VIE if (1) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the entity’s investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity was established with non-substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates VIEs when the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the party that both: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in such VIEs in accordance with applicable GAAP. Non-Controlling Interests When the Company consolidates an entity, 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. For those consolidated entities in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the Company records a non-controlling interest as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, which represents the third-party ownership in the net assets of the respective consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, the portion of the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of income. Changes in ownership interests in an entity that do not result in deconsolidation are generally recognized within equity. See Note 5 for additional details on non-controlling interests. New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. Under this ASU, the scope and frequency of segment disclosures is increased to provide investors with additional detail about information utilized by an entity’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker.” This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. This ASU applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Master Glossary. While joint ventures are defined in the Master Glossary, there has been no specific guidance in the Codification that applies to the formation accounting by a joint venture in its separate financial statements. The amendments in the ASU require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES	Note 7 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES In 2024 and 2023, the effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate, primarily as a result of allowable depletion for tax purposes in excess of the cost basis in oil and natural gas properties. Excess federal percentage depletion, which is limited to certain production volumes and by certain income levels, reduces estimated taxable income projected for any year. The federal excess percentage depletion estimates will be updated throughout the year until finalized with the detail well-by-well calculations at year-end. When a provision for income taxes is recorded, federal excess percentage depletion benefits decrease the effective tax rate. When a benefit for income taxes is recorded, federal excess percentage depletion benefits increase the effective tax rate. The benefit of federal excess percentage depletion is not directly related to the amount of pre-tax income recorded in a period. Accordingly, in periods where a recorded pre-tax income is relatively small, the proportional effect of these items on the effective tax rate may be significant.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	6 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The Reserve Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and gas company engaged in oil and natural gas exploration, development and minerals management with areas of concentration in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, a single business segment. The Company is also engaged in investments that are not significant business segments. The Company’s consolidated entities consist of Grand Woods Development, LLC (“Grand Woods”), an Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned Trinity Water Services, LLC ("TWS"), an Oklahoma limited liability company. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “the Company,” “its,” “our,” and “we” are to The Reserve Petroleum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Reserve Petroleum Company and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company holds a controlling interest, reflecting ownership of a majority of the voting interest, as of the financial statement date. Additionally, the Company consolidates VIEs under certain criteria discussed further below. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company changed its presentation method on the statement of cash flows from the direct method to the indirect method. The indirect method is predominantly used in practice, provides a useful link to income statements and balance sheets, is more familiar to financial statement users and is the less costly approach to prepare. The Company has recast the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and related disclosures for the period ended June 30, 2023, to conform to the indirect presentation method in the current period. When necessary, reclassifications that are not material to the consolidated financial statements are made to prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or retained earnings. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2023 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities The Company decides at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which an investment is made or in which we have other variable interests is considered a VIE. Generally, an entity is a VIE if (1) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the entity’s investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity was established with non-substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates VIEs when the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the party that both: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in such VIEs in accordance with applicable GAAP.
Non-Controlling Interest	Non-Controlling Interests When the Company consolidates an entity, 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. For those consolidated entities in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the Company records a non-controlling interest as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, which represents the third-party ownership in the net assets of the respective consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, the portion of the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of income. Changes in ownership interests in an entity that do not result in deconsolidation are generally recognized within equity. See Note 5 for additional details on non-controlling interests.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. Under this ASU, the scope and frequency of segment disclosures is increased to provide investors with additional detail about information utilized by an entity’s “Chief Operating Decision Maker.” This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. This ASU applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Master Glossary. While joint ventures are defined in the Master Glossary, there has been no specific guidance in the Codification that applies to the formation accounting by a joint venture in its separate financial statements. The amendments in the ASU require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Fair Value Measurements	The Company uses a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Certain assets of the Company are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis. The Company determined the fair value of equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities using quoted market prices, public Net Asset Values ("NAV") and where applicable, securities with similar maturity dates and interest rates. Level 3 assets use NAV as fair value. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s asset retirement obligation annually represents a non-recurring fair value liability, for which there were no liabilities incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. See Note 8 above for more information about this liability and the inputs used for calculating fair value. There were no Impairment losses recorded on oil and gas assets in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Impairment losses recorded on oil and gas assets in the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $443,456. This also relates to non-recurring fair value measurements calculated using Level 3 inputs. Certain oil and natural gas producing properties have been deemed to be impaired because the assets, evaluated on a property-by-property basis, are not expected to recover their entire carrying value through future cash flows. Impairment losses, when recorded, are included in the consolidated statements of income in the line-item Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Valuation Provision. Impairments are calculated by reducing the carrying value of the individual properties to an estimated fair value equal to the discounted present value of the future cash flow from these properties. Forward pricing is used for calculating future revenue and cash flow. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s other financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables. At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the historical cost of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term liquidity or maturities of these items.
