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.

2011 Production & Revenue Analysis
98.9 MBOE per day Production in 2011, a 12% increase over
2010 and 23% pro forma for asset sales
82.2 MBOE per day pro forma Production in 2011, reflects
16.7 MBOE per day impact of fourth-quarter asset sales
Expect approximate 30% increase in 2012(E) oil/liquids revenue
compared to 2011(E) oil/liquids revenue
Increase reflects impact of higher estimated oil/liquids
volumes and stronger pricing associated with new
marketing contracts

The Hadrian 5 (KC 919-3) well, that is part of the Lucius
unitization agreement, initially “encountered 475 feet of net oil

and “drilling ahead to deeper objectives, encountered an
additional 250 feet of net oil pay”

2011 Proved Reserves Reconciliation
(1) The Reserve Replacement Ratio is an indicator of our ability to replace annual production volume and grow our reserves. It is important to economically find and develop new reserves that will
offset produced volumes and provide for future production given the inherent decline of hydrocarbon reserves as they are produced. This statistical indicator has limitations, including its
predictive and comparative value. As such, this metric should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our performance as reported under GAAP. Furthermore, this
metric may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements used by other companies.
