The information presented herein may contain predictions, estimates and other
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although
the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable
assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
included in the forward-looking statements include the timing and extent of
changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, the need to develop and replace
reserves, environmental risks, competition, government regulation and the
ability of the Company to meet its stated business goals.

Budget Changes
§ Company has narrowed drilling focus to two core oily areas: Bakken and Eagle Ford
§ Company focus on Bakken and Eagle Ford oil consistent with industry activity and asset quality
§ “Held-by-production” positions in Permian and Powder River Basin provide medium-to-longer term flexibility

Non-Op Bakken Divestiture Plan
§ On February 20, 2013, Abraxas announced that it had
 retained E-Spectrum Advisors (an affiliate of Energy
 Spectrum Advisors Inc.) to market its non-operated
 Bakken and Three Forks assets in North Dakota and
 Montana
§ Asset Details:
  >14,000 net acres in Billings, Burke, Divide, Dunn,
 McKenzie, Stark and Williams Counties, ND and
 Richland, Roosevelt and Sheridan Counties, MT
  99% of acreage is held-by-production
  ~400 boepd
  Diverse and experienced operator base including:
 Oasis Petroleum, Continental, ExxonMobil / XTO /
 Denbury, Whiting, Fidelity E&P, Hess, Statoil /
 Brigham, Citation, Petro-Hunt and others.
§ If the Company is successful in achieving an acceptable
 price for these assets,
the proceeds will be used to pay
 down the Company’s revolver and redeployed into its
 core operated Bakken and Eagle Ford assets

EOG Strikes Oil in Duvernay's East Shale Basin
“New public data for EOG’s Duvernay horizontal at 1-20-38-28W4 showed a peak calendar
-day rate to date of 239 boe/d for December. Oil comprised 88% of the wellhead
production stream…We believe there is a possibility EOG is restricting rates or testing the
well, meaning it could be producing the well intermittently through the months.
The reported rates are in the ballpark of our Eagle Ford West oil type curve peak rate of
~300 boe/d. Under Crown royalties, the Eagle Ford West type curve results in a break-even
price of $82/boe and a per-well NPV of $1 million, assuming a $9 million well cost.”
