Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed
in
this
presentation
are
“forward-looking
statements”
as
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These
statements involve certain assumptions PXP made based on its
experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors it believes are
appropriate under the circumstances.
The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially.  These risks and uncertainties include,
among other things, uncertainties inherent in the exploration for and
development and production of oil and gas and in estimating reserves,
the timing and closing of acquisitions and divestments, unexpected
future capital expenditures, general economic conditions, oil and gas
price volatility, the success of our risk management activities,
competition, regulatory changes and other factors discussed in PXP’s
filings with the SEC.
References to quantities of oil or natural gas may include amounts that
the Company believes will ultimately be produced, but that are not yet
classified as "proved reserves" under SEC definitions.
