The present value of the increase in asset retirement obligation related to the production of oil in 2020 and 2021 was $27,802 and $30,026, respectively. The estimated residual value of the drilling platform is zero, and Blue Spruce uses straight-line depreciation. Blue Spruce prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
