RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

Amount needed for a "break-even" ratio earnings
                            420,795       70,724  
                                         
For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, fixed
                                       
charges include interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of
                                       
debt issuance costs and discounts, and that portion of non-capitalized
                                       
rental expense deemed to be the equivalent of interest.  Earnings
                                       
represents income before income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting
                                 
principle before interest expense, net, and that portion of rental expense deemed to
                                 
be the equivalent of interest. Due to the $754.3 million non-cash charge incurred
                                 
in the fourth quarter of 2008, and the $79.3 million non-cash charge incurred in the first
                                 
quarter of 2009, both caused by a write-down in the carrying value of oil and gas
                                 
properties, 2008 earnings were insufficient by $420.8 million, and 2009
                                       
earnings were insufficient by $70.7 million, to cover fixed charges in these periods.
                                 
If the $754.3 million non-cash charge is excluded, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges
                                 
would have been 9.43 for 2008. If the $79.3 million non-cash charge is excluded, the
                                 
ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 1.23 for 2009.
