Hydrocarbon Pricing

As requested for the SEC Price scenario, oil and gas prices were adjusted to the following index prices.

 

Year

   WTI
Oil Price
$/BBL
     HH
Gas Price
$/MMBTU
 

2011

     79.43         4.37   

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, these prices are determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of 2010. Prices were not escalated in the SEC scenario. Adjustments to oil and gas prices were made based upon data provided by your office. These adjustments include treating cost, transportation charges and/or crude quality and gravity corrections.

Expenses and Taxes

Lease operating expenses and investments were forecast as furnished by your office and were not escalated. Severance tax values were determined by applying normal state severance tax rates. Ad valorem tax rates were forecast as provided by your office.

Miscellaneous

An on-site field inspection of the properties has not been performed nor has the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and their related facilities been examined, nor have the wells been tested by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. Possible environmental liability related to the properties has not been investigated nor considered. The salvage value of equipment at abandonment and the cost of plugging at abandonment have been included in the evaluation as requested by your office.

The proved reserve classifications used conform to the criteria of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The estimates were prepared based on the definitions and regulations contained in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule, Title 17 CFR Parts 210, 211 et al. released January 14, 2009 in the Federal Register. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward. The reserves and economics are predicated on regulatory agency classifications, rules, policies, laws, taxes and royalties in effect as noted herein. The possible effects of changes in legislation or other Federal or State restrictive actions have not been considered. All reserve estimates represent our best judgment based on data available at the time of preparation, and assumptions as to future economic and regulatory conditions. It should be realized that the reserves actually recovered, the revenue derived therefrom and the actual cost incurred could be more or less than the estimated amounts.

The reserve estimates and forecasts were based upon interpretations of factual data furnished by your office and available from our files. Ownership information and economic factors such as liquid and gas prices, price differentials, expenses, investments and tax rates were furnished by your office and were accepted as furnished. To some extent, information from public records was used to check and/or supplement these data. The basic engineering and geological data were utilized subject to third party
