DD&A Rate Revision — Reserve Estimate Change

💡 Accountant's Note
Reserve estimate changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates (IAS 8 — prospective treatment). An upward revision lowers the future DD&A rate, improving profitability. A downward revision increases the rate — a major earnings impact.
