Corporate Strategy Maximize dollars at the drill bit
Focus on prospects with higher liquids content (returns focused drilling program)
Reduction in leasehold, geological and geophysical spending
Reduce costs and improve efficiencies in the field – cost focus drives economic viability of
marginal drilling programs
Delineate the Granite Wash and Ft. Union positions
Actively monitor A&D market for potential acquisitions that provide visibility and inventory
Bolt-on to existing core positions with advantaged economics (Mid-Con / East Texas)
Lower exploration risk
Well hedged on oil and natural gas for the next 18 – 24 months. Program protects near-term
capital plan
Incremental non-core assets sales – divested over $100 million of non-core properties YTD, on
track to divest another $200 million by year end
Equity contribution to fund growth from acquisitions or acceleration of delineated inventory
Position portfolio for public market access
Optimize Capital Program
Future Drill Bit Inventory

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, operational and financial performance, business prospects and opportunities and future events. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “could,” “plan,” “predict” and negatives of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on, but not limited to, management’s assessment of such factors as the condition of our industry and the competitive environment. These assessments could prove inaccurate. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current beliefs based upon information currently available to us and upon assumptions which we believe to be reasonable, actual results may differ materially from expected results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results include, among others: fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices; uncertainties relating to the drilling of our wells; estimates of our reserves, future net revenues and PV-10; the timing and amount of future production of natural gas and oil; our financial strategy, liquidity and capital required for our development program; changes in the availability and cost of capital; proved and unproved drilling locations and future drilling plans; production rates relating to our natural gas and oil reserves; our ability to capitalize on opportunistic acquisitions of natural gas and oil reserves; write-downs and decline in value of undeveloped acreage if drilling results are unsuccessful; recording of certain non-cash asset write-downs in the future; liability claims as a result of our natural gas and oil operations; actions taken or non-performance by third parties, including other working interest owners, contractors, operators, processors, transporters and customers; competitive conditions in our industry; the use and development of new industry technologies; our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel necessary to operate our business; our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions and our ability to realize any cost savings and other synergies from any acquisition; the performance of our information technology systems; general economic and business conditions; our hedging strategy and results; the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including environmental, hydraulic fracturing and climate change regulation; the effects of derivatives reform legislation; elimination of certain natural gas and oil exploration and development federal and state tax deductions and credits; compliance with existing and future FERC regulation; the effects of existing or future litigation; and plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this presentation that are not historical.
Forward Looking Statements
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 natural gas and oil. 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 natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reservoir engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of natural gas and oil that are ultimately recovered. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this presentation occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. 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.
