Forward-looking Statements Disclaimer
This presentation contains forward–looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond our control, which may include statements about:  the volatility of realized oil and natural gas prices; the conditions of the
capital markets, inflation, interest rates, availability of a credit facility to support business requirements, liquidity, and general
economic and political conditions; the discovery, estimation, development and replacement of oil and natural gas reserves; our
business, financial, and operational strategy; our drilling locations; technology; our cash flow, liquidity and financial position; the
ability to extend or refinance our reserve-based credit facility; the level of our borrowing base under our reserve-based credit facility;
the resumption or amount of our cash distributions; our hedging program and our derivative positions; our production volumes; our
lease operating expenses, general and administrative costs and finding and development costs; the availability of drilling and
production equipment, labor and other services; our future operating results; our prospect development and property acquisitions; the
marketing of oil and natural gas; competition in the oil and natural gas industry; the impact of the current global credit and economic
environment; the impact of weather and the occurrence of natural disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes,
snow and ice storms and other catastrophic events and natural disasters; governmental regulation, including environmental regulation,
and taxation of the oil and natural gas industry or publicly traded partnerships; developments in oil-producing and natural gas
producing countries; lack of support from a sponsor; and our strategic plans, objectives, expectations, forecasts, budgets, estimates
and intentions for future operations.  In some cases, forward–looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,”
“could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,”

The forward–looking statements contained in this presentation are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and
assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market
conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events
may prove to be inaccurate.  Management cautions all readers that the forward–looking statements contained in this presentation are
not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or the forward–looking
events and circumstances will occur.  Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward–looking

Robinson’s Bend Sale
Closed the sale of Robinson’s Bend
Field assets on February 28, 2013
Sale encompassed all of CEP’s assets in
the Black Warrior Basin
Under the terms of the agreement, a base
sale price of $63.0 million resulted in
$58.9 million in proceeds received at
closing
Allowing for estimated sales-related cost
impacts, net sales proceeds were
approximately $55.3 million
CEP used net sales proceeds to reduce
debt by $50.0 million
CEP is now $34.0 million drawn on a
borrowing base of $37.5 million (net debt
of approximately $21.9 million)
Since Q309, CEP has reduced debt
outstanding by $186.0 million or 85%
Decreased leverage allows CEP to remain
focused on the oil opportunities in our
Mid-Continent asset base

Our Continuing Focus on Oil Opportunities
Our
capital
program
has
been
focused
on
the
oil
potential
we
see
in
our
existing asset base and our most capital efficient recompletion opportunities
As a result of this focus, oil continues to be an increasingly important part of
our production mix
Drilling efforts are focused in the Pennsylvanian aged horizon with the
Burgess, Bartlesville, Red Fork and Skinner sandstones as primary targets
In 2013, we forecast capital spending of between $19.0 million and $21.0
million and anticipate that oil will account for about 15% of our production mix
(~ 548
Bbl/day)
and
about
50%
of
our
sales
revenue

Excludes hedge settlements, gains (losses) on mark-to-market activities, and other revenue

FY2013 Forecast oil production is based on the mid-point of CEP’s 2013 production forecast

We are unable to reconcile our forecast range of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or operating income because we do not predict the future impact of adjustments to
net income (loss), such as (gains) losses from mark-to-market activities and equity investments or asset impairments due to the difficulty of doing so, and we are unable to
address the probable significance of the unavailable reconciliation, in significant part due to ranges in our forecast impacted by changes in oil and natural gas prices and
reserves which affect certain reconciliation items

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measure
under Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this presentation.  The reconciliations are only intended to be reviewed in
conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted by interest (income) expense, net; depreciation, depletion and amortization; write-off
of deferred financing fees; asset impairments; and accretion expense.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted by (gain) loss on
sale of assets; exploration costs; (gain) loss from equity investment; unit-based compensation programs; (gain) loss from mark-to-market
activities; and unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives/hedge ineffectiveness.  Although not presented herein, we define Distributable Cash
Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures and cash interest expense.  Maintenance capital expenditures are capital
expenditures
that
we
expect
to
make
on
an
ongoing
basis
to
maintain
our
asset
base
(including
our
undeveloped
leasehold
acreage)
at
a
steady
level
over
the
long
term.
These
expenditures
include
the
drilling
and
completion
of
additional
development
wells
to
offset
the
expected production decline during such period from our producing properties, as well as additions to our inventory of unproved
properties or proved reserves required to maintain our asset base.
These
financial
measures
are
used
as
a
quantitative
standard
by
our
management
and
by
external
users
of
our
financial
statements
such
as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital
structure
or
historical
cost
basis;
the
ability
of
our
assets
to
generate
cash
sufficient
to
pay
interest
costs
and
support
our
indebtedness;
and our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to
financing or capital structure.  These financial measures are not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented
as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.
