Forward-looking statements
Fourth Quarter 2013 Results –
February 2014
2
This
presentation
contains
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.
All
statements,
other
than
statements
of
historical
facts,
included
in
this
presentation
that
address
activities,
events
or
developments
that
the
Company
expects,
believes
or
anticipates
will
or
may
occur
in
the
future
are
forward-looking
statements.
Without
limiting
the
generality
of
the
foregoing,
forward-looking
statements
contained
in
this
presentation
specifically
include
the
expectations
of
management
regarding
plans,
strategies,
objectives,
anticipated
financial
and
operating
results
of
the
Company,
including
as
to
the
Company’s
Wolfcamp
shale
resource
play,
estimated
resource
potential
and
recoverability
of
the
oil
and
gas,
estimated
reserves
and
drilling
locations,
capital
expenditures,
typical
well
results
and
well
profiles,
type
curve,
and
production
and
operating
expenses
guidance
included
in
the
presentation.
These
statements
are
based
on
certain
assumptions
made
by
the
Company
based
on
management's
experience
and
technical
analyses,
current
conditions,
anticipated
future
developments
and
other
factors
believed
to
be
appropriate
and
believed
to
be
reasonable
by
management.
When
used
in
this
presentation,
the
words
“will,”
“potential,”
“believe,”
“intend,”
“expect,”
“may,”
“should,”
“anticipate,”
“could,”
“estimate,”
“plan,”
“predict,”
“project,”
“target,”
“profile,”
“model”
or
their
negatives,
other
similar
expressions
or
the
statements
that
include
those
words,
are
intended
to
identify
forward-looking
statements,
although
not
all
forward-looking
statements
contain
such
identifying
words.
Such
statements
are
subject
to
a
number
of
assumptions,
risks
and
uncertainties,
many
of
which
are
beyond
the
control
of
the
Company,
which
may
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
implied
or
expressed
by
the
forward-looking
statements.
In
particular,
careful
consideration
should
be
given
to
the
cautionary
statements
and
risk
factors
described
in
the
Company's
most
recent
Annual
Report
on
Form
10-K
and
Quarterly
Reports
on
Form
10-Q.
Any
forward-looking
statement
speaks
only
as
of
the
date
on
which
such
statement
is
made
and
the
Company
undertakes
no
obligation
to
correct
or
update
any
forward-looking
statement,
whether
as
a
result
of
new
information,
future
events
or
otherwise,
except
as
required
by
applicable
law.
The
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
(“SEC”)
permits
oil
and
gas
companies,
in
their
filings
with
the
SEC,
to
disclose
only
proved,
probable
and
possible
reserves
that
meet
the
SEC’s
definitions
for
such
terms,
and
price
and
cost
sensitivities
for
such
reserves,
and
prohibits
disclosure
of
resources
that
do
not
constitute
such
reserves.
The
Company
uses
the
terms
“estimated
ultimate
recovery”
or
“EUR,”
reserve
or
resource
“potential,”
and
other
descriptions
of
volumes
of
reserves
potentially
recoverable
through
additional
drilling
or
recovery
techniques
that
the
SEC’s
rules
may
prohibit
the
Company
from
including
in
filings
with
the
SEC.
These
estimates
are
by
their
nature
more
speculative
than
estimates
of
proved,
probable
and
possible
reserves
and
accordingly
are
subject
to
substantially
greater
risk
of
being
actually
realized
by
the
Company.
EUR
estimates,
identified
drilling
locations
and
resource
potential
estimates
have
not
been
risked
by
the
Company.
Actual
locations
drilled
and
quantities
that
may
be
ultimately
recovered
from
the
Company’s
interest
may
differ
substantially
from
the
Company’s
estimates.
There
is
no
commitment
by
the
Company
to
drill
all
of
the
drilling
locations
that
have
been
attributed
these
quantities.
Factors
affecting
ultimate
recovery
include
the
scope
of
the
Company’s
ongoing
drilling
program,
which
will
be
directly
affected
by
the
availability
of
capital,
drilling
and
production
costs,
availability
of
drilling
and
completion
services
and
equipment,
drilling
results,
lease
expirations,
regulatory
approval
and
actual
drilling
results,
as
well
as
geological
and
mechanical
factors
Estimates
of
unproved
reserves,
type/decline
curves,
per
well
EUR
and
resource
potential
may
change
significantly
as
development
of
the
Company’s
oil
and
gas
assets
provides
additional
data.
Type/decline
curves,
estimated
EURs,
resource
potential,
recovery
factors
and
well
costs
represent
Company
estimates
based
on
evaluation
of
petrophysical
analysis,
core
data
and
well
logs,
well
performance
from
limited
drilling
and
recompletion
results
and
seismic
data,
and
have
not
been
reviewed
by
independent
engineers.
These
are
presented
as
hypothetical
recoveries
if
assumptions
and
estimates
regarding
recoverable
hydrocarbons,
recovery
factors
and
costs
prove
correct.
The
Company
has
very
limited
production
experience
with
these
projects,
and
accordingly,
such
estimates
may
change
significantly
as
results
from
more
wells
are
evaluated.
Estimates
of
resource
potential
and
EURs
do
not
constitute
reserves,
but
constitute
estimates
of
contingent
resources
which
the
SEC
has
determined
are
too
speculative
to
include
in
SEC
filings.
Unless
otherwise
noted,
IRR estimates
are
before
taxes
and
assume
NYMEX
forward-curve
oil
and
gas
pricing
and
Company-generated
EUR
and
decline
curve
estimates
based
on
Company
drilling
and completion
cost
estimates
that
do
not
include
land,
seismic
or
G&A
costs.

We
believe

useful
to
investors
because

not
a
measure
of
net
income
or
cash
flow
as
determined
by
GAAP.
The
amounts
included
in
the
calculation
of
EBITDAX
were
computed
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
EBITDAX
is
presented
herein
and
reconciled
to
the
GAAP
measure
of
net
income
because
of
its
wide
acceptance
by
the
investment
community
as
a
financial
indicator
of
a
company's
ability
to
internally
fund
development
and
exploration
activities.
This
measure
is
provided
in
addition
to,
and
not
as
an
alternative
for,
and
should
be

the

Drill-bit
F&D
costs
are
calculated
by
dividing
the
sum
of
exploration
costs
and
development
costs
for
the
year
by
the
total
of
reserve
extensions
and
discoveries
for
the
year.
We
believe
that
providing
F&D
cost
is
useful
to
assist
in
an
evaluation
of
how
much
it
costs
the
Company,
on
a
per
Boe
basis,
to
add
proved
reserves.
However,
these
measures
are
provided
in
addition
to,
and
not
as
an
alternative
for,
and
should
be
read
in
conjunction
with,
the
information
contained
in
our
financial
statements
prepared
in
accordance
with
GAAP
(including
the
notes),
included
in
our
previous
SEC
filings
and
to
be
included
in
our
annual
report
on
Form
10-K
to
be
filed
with
the
SEC
on
or
before
March
3,
2014.
Due
to
various
factors,
including
timing
differences,
F&D
costs
do
not
necessarily
reflect
precisely
the
costs
associated
with
particular
reserves.
For
example,
exploration
costs
may
be
recorded
in
periods
before
the
periods
in
which
related
increases
in
reserves
are
recorded,
and
development
costs
may
be
recorded
in
periods
after
the
periods
in
which
related
increases
in
reserves
are
recorded.
In
addition,
changes
in
commodity
prices
can
affect
the
magnitude
of
recorded
increases
(or
decreases)
in
reserves
independent
of
the
related
costs
of
such
increases.
As
a
result
of
the
above
factors
and
various
factors
that
could
materially
affect
the
timing
and
amounts
of
future
increases
in
reserves
and
the
timing
and
amounts
of
future
costs,
including
factors
disclosed
in
our
filings
with
the
SEC,
we
cannot
assure
you
that
the
Company’s
future
F&D
costs
will
not
differ
materially
from
those
set
forth
above.
Further,
the
methods
used
by
us
to
calculate
F&D
costs
may
differ
significantly
from
methods
used
by
other
companies
to
compute
similar
measures.
As
a
result,
our
F&D
costs
may
not
be
comparable
to
similar
measures
provided
by
other
companies.
The
following
table
reconciles
our
estimated
F&D
costs
for
2013
to
the
information
required
by
paragraphs
11
and
21
of
ASC
932-235.

PV-10 (unaudited)
Fourth Quarter 2013 Results –
February 2014
27
The
present
value
of
our
proved
reserves,
discounted
at
10%
(“PV-10”),
was
estimated
at
$1.1
billion
at
December
31,
2013,
and
was
calculated
based
on
the
first-of-the-month,
twelve-month
average
prices
for
oil,
NGLs
and
gas,
of
$97.28
per
Bbl
of
oil,
$30.16
per
Bbl
of
NGLs
and
$3.66
per
MMBtu
of
natural
gas.
PV-10
is
our
estimate
of
the
present
value
of
future
net
revenues
from
proved
oil
and
gas
reserves
after
deducting
estimated
production
and
ad
valorem
taxes,
future
capital
costs
and
operating
expenses,
but
before
deducting
any
estimates
of
future
income
taxes.
The
estimated
future
net
revenues
are
discounted
at
an
annual
rate
of
10%
to
determine
their
“present
value.”
We
believe
PV-10
to
be
an
important
measure
for
evaluating
the
relative
significance
of
our
oil
and
gas
properties
and
that
the
presentation
of
the
non-GAAP
financial
measure
of
PV-10
provides
useful
information
to
investors
because
it
is
widely
used
by
professional
analysts
and
investors
in
evaluating
oil
and
gas
companies.
Because
there
are
many
unique
factors
that
can
impact
an
individual
company
when
estimating
the
amount
of
future
income
taxes
to
be
paid,
we
believe
the
use
of
a
pre-tax
measure
is
valuable
for
evaluating
the
Company.
We
believe
that
PV-10
is
a
financial
measure
routinely
used
and
calculated
similarly
by
other
companies
in
the
oil
and
gas
industry.
The
following
table
reconciles
PV-10
to
our
standardized
measure
of
discounted
future
net
cash
flows,
the
most
directly
comparable
measure
calculated
and
presented
in
accord-
ance with
GAAP.
PV-10
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
the
standardized
measure
as
computed
under
GAAP.
