Re: | Reserves Evaluation to the Interests of Carrizo Oil &
Gas, Inc. Heavy Oil Properties, Anderson County, Texas |
Gentlemen:
Fairchild and Wells, Inc. (FAW) has performed an engineering evaluation to estimate proved
reserves and future cash flows from heavy oil (steamflood) properties to certain interests
of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. in Anderson County, Texas as of December 31, 2009. This evaluation was
authorized by Mr. S.P. Johnson IV, President of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (Carrizo). Projections of
the anticipated future annual oil production and future cash flows have also been prepared
utilizing property development schedules provided by Carrizo. The reserves and future cash flows
to the evaluated interests were based on economic parameters and operating conditions considered
applicable and conforms to our understanding of the financial reporting requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The estimated reserves and future cash flows shown in this report are for proved developed and
proved undeveloped reserves. Our estimates do not include any value which might be attributed to
interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which reserves have been assigned. Based
on information provided by Carrizo, the properties reviewed by FAW represent 2.8 percent of the
total net proved hydrocarbon reserves, expressed in Mcf equivalent (Mcfe) volumes.
The estimated reserves and future cash flows shown in this report are dependent on hydrocarbon
prices. The hydrocarbon prices used in this report are based on the average prices during the
twelve month period prior to December 31, 2009, determined as unweighted arithmetic averages of
the prices in effect on the first day of the month for each month within such period, unless
prices were defined by contractual arrangements as required by SEC regulations. These hydrocarbon
prices were determined by Carrizo and provided to FAW for use in this analysis. These reference
prices are held constant in accordance with SEC guidelines. Actual future prices may vary
significantly from the prices required by SEC regulations, therefore reserve volumes actually
recovered and actual cash flow may vary significantly from the estimated quantities presented in
this report.
In performance of this evaluation, we have relied upon information furnished by Carrizo with
respect to property interests owned, production from such properties, current costs of operation
and development, prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and
sale of production. Capital costs and timing of investments has been provided by Carrizo. With
respect to the technical files supplied by Carrizo, we have accepted the authenticity and
sufficiency of the data contained therein.
The results of the study are summarized on the next page.

Future cash flow is presented after deducting production taxes and after deducting future
capital costs and operating expenses, but before consideration of Federal income taxes. The future
cash flow has been discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent to determine its present worth.
The present worth is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money and should not be
construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Our estimates of future revenue do not
include any salvage value for the lease and well equipment. Fairchild and Wells, Inc. expresses no
opinion as to the fair market value of the evaluated properties.
We have relied upon data furnished by Carrizo in preparing our prediction of future production and
cash flow. Carrizo has informed us that they have provided us with all the data required for this
analysis. Data provided by Carrizo includes property interests owned, production and well tests,
operating costs, hydrocarbon pricing based on SEC regulations, state regulations that impact
operations, transportation and processing fees, ad valorem and production taxes, development
plans, completion and development costs, geological structure and net pay thickness maps, well
logs, and core analysis. FAW reviewed this data for its reasonableness, however we have not
conducted an independent verification of the data supplied by Carrizo. Carrizo has assured us of
their intent and ability to proceed with the development activities as scheduled in this report,
and that they are not aware of any regulatory, legal, or political obstacles that would
significantly alter their plans.

The reserves included in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as being
exact quantities. They may or may not be actually recovered, and if recovered, the revenues there
from and the actual costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts.
Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the actual sales rates
and the prices actually received for the reserves along with the costs incurred in recovering such
reserves may vary from those assumptions included in this report. Also, estimates of reserves may
increase or decrease as a result of future operations.
In evaluating the information at our disposal concerning this report, we have excluded from our
consideration all matters as to which legal or accounting, rather than engineering, interpretation
may be controlling. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent
in the interpretation of engineering data and, therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent
only informed professional judgments only, not statements of fact.
The estimates of reserves presented in this report were based on a study of the properties in
which Carrizo owns an interest. However we have not made any field examination of the properties.
FAW has not examined or determined the mechanical operation and condition of the wells and
facilities. No consideration was given in this report to potential environmental liabilities that
may exist nor were any costs considered for potential liability for restoration and clean up
damages, if any, caused by operating practices.
The titles to the properties have not been examined by Fairchild and Wells, Inc. nor has the
actual degree or type of interest owned been independently confirmed. We are independent petroleum
engineers and geologists; we do not own an interest in these properties and are not employed on a
contingent basis.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use and sole benefit of Carrizo Oil and Gas, Inc., and
may not be put to other use without our prior written consent.
The professional qualifications of the undersigned, the technical person primarily responsible for
auditing the reserve information discussed in this report, are included as an attachment to this
letter.
It has been a pleasure to serve you by preparing this engineering evaluation.
Yours very truly,
Fairchild and Wells, Inc.
