Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this presentation includes “forward-looking statements” that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs,
prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on
Parsley Energy, Inc.’s (“Parsley Energy,” “Parsley,” or the “Company”) current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome
and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond
our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack
of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in
projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the risk factors discussed in or referenced in the prospectus prepared in
connection with this offering.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim
any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation.
Our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and
outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases.
Industry and Market Data
This presentation has been prepared by Parsley and includes market data and other statistical information from third-party sources, including independent industry publications, government
publications or other published independent sources. Although Parsley believes these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, Parsley has not independently verified the
accuracy or completeness of this information. Some data are also based on the Parsley’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the third-party
sources described above.
Oil & Gas Reserves
This presentation provides disclosure of the Parsley’s proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with
reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions (using unweighted average 12-month first day of
the month prices), operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably
certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
In this presentation, proved reserves attributable to Parsley as of 12/31/14 are estimated utilizing SEC reserve recognition standards and pricing assumptions based on SEC pricing of $91.48 / bbl
crude, $4.35 / mmbtu gas, and adjusted realized pricing of $85.99 / bbl crude, $35.27 / bbl NGL, and $4.281 / mcf residue gas. References to our estimated proved reserves as of 12/31/14 are
derived from our proved reserve report (the “NSAI Report”) prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”). PV-10 would be $717 million if based on internal estimates at realized
pricing of NYMEX strip prices on 1/29/2015. 
We may use the term “expected ultimate recoveries” (“EURs”) or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of
proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Parsley from including in filings with the SEC.  Unless otherwise stated in this presentation, such estimates
have been prepared internally by our engineers and management without review by independent engineers. 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, particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history.
We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately
recovered from our properties will differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations. Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors
including actual encountered geological conditions, the impact of future oil and gas pricing, exploration and development costs, and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future
evaluation of risk, returns and the availability of capital and, in many areas, the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases. Our estimates
may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates. Our related
expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells, the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity
and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases.

(1) Drillbit F&D is defined as expected 2014 development capital cost divided by the sum of extensions and discoveries and revisions of previous estimates. Revisions of previous estimates include negative 
     14 MMBoe of reserves associated with reduced vertical well activity over next five years, and 0.3 MMBoe of pricing revisions.
(2) As of 12/31/14; based on SEC pricing of $91.48 / bbl crude, $4.35 / mmbtu gas, and adjusted realized pricing of $85.99 / bbl crude, $35.27 / bbl NGL, and $4.281 / mcf residue gas. PV-10 of the  
      Company’s total proved reserves would be $717 million if based on internal estimates at realized pricing of NYMEX strip prices on 1/29/2015.

Disclaimer
The Horizontal Type Curve was prepared by Parsley’s internal reserve engineers by conducting a decline curve analysis of third party
production data submitted to the Texas Rail Road Commission for 106 horizontal wells drilled since 2011 in Reagan, Upton and Midland
counties. The Horizontal Type Curve is not based on Parsley production data and has not been reviewed by Parsley’s independent reserve
engineers. The Horizontal Type Curve is subject to numerous limitations and may not be representative of the type curves or ultimate
recoveries achievable on Parsley’s Midland Basin horizontal drilling inventory. For example:
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Horizontal Type Curve. Parsley’s actual production results and ultimate recoveries
are likely to differ substantially.
Of the 106 wells utilized by Parsley in the decline curve analysis, 30 are located in Upton County, 5 in Midland County and 71 in Reagan
County. To date, Parsley has drilled 20 horizontal wells (1 in Midland County, 12 in Upton County, 6 in Reagan County and 1 in Irion
County) and the majority of Parsley’s horizontal drilling locations are in Upton and Reagan Counties, where there is even more limited
third
party
production
data.
Parsley
cannot
make
assurances
that
the
type
curves
or
ultimate
recoveries
for
horizontal
wells
in
these
locations will be consistent with the Horizontal Type Curve.
The drilling and completion techniques (such as frac design, sand concentration, lateral length and orientation) for the 106 wells used
to calculate the Horizontal Type Curve are unknown, and may differ significantly from the completion techniques used by Parsley,
which
could
cause
the
results
from
Parsley’s
horizontal
drilling
to
vary
materially
from
the
production
and
ultimate
recoveries
implied
by the Horizontal Type Curve.
For
periods
for
which
insufficient
production
data
is
available,
Parsley
estimated
the
decline
rates
by
utilizing
a
b-factor
of
1.3.
The
actual decline rates may vary significantly from the b-factor utilized in Parsley’s estimates. The ultimate recoveries implied by the
Horizontal
type
Curve
may
be
overstated
if
the
average
decline
rate
on
Parsley’s
horizontal
wells
is
greater
than
the
rate
implied
by
the b-factor utilized in Parsley’s analysis.
The
historical
production
data
used
in
the
decline
curve
analysis
is
limited,
with
only
106
of
the
wells
having
production
data.
The
decline
curve
analysis
may
yield
different
results
as
more
wells
are
drilled
and
additional
production
data
is
gathered.
In
particular,
Parsley’s estimated decline rates for periods of longer than one year are based on limited or no data and are therefore based on
significant assumptions and estimates.
