Forward-looking statements
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 drilling project, 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 limited
production experience with this project, 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.

in accordance with GAAP. We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide
readers with a more meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably
determined. 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 SEC filings and posted

The amounts included in the calculation of EBITDAX were computed in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash
flow as determined by 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 read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.

All-in finding and development (“F&D”) costs are calculated by dividing the sum of
property acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs for the year by
the sum of reserve extensions and discoveries, purchases of minerals in place and
total revisions for the year.
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 February 26, 2015. 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 2014 to the information
required by paragraphs 11 and 21 of ASC 932-235.
(1) Production includes 1,390 MMcf related to field fuel.
PV-10 (unaudited)
24
The present value of our proved reserves, discounted at 10% (“PV-10”), was estimated at $1.4 billion at December 31, 2014, and was calculated based on the first-of-the-month,
twelve-month average prices for oil, NGLs and gas, of $94.56 per Bbl of oil, $31.50 per Bbl of NGLs and $4.55 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
accordance with GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as computed under GAAP.
(in millions) December 31,
2014
PV-10 $ 1,413
Less income taxes:
Undiscounted future income taxes (1,267)
10% discount factor 910
Future discounted income taxes (357)
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,056

  • 2. Forward-looking statements 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 drilling project, 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 limited production experience with this project, 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.

  • 22. Cash operating expenses 22 Cash operating expenses We define cash operating expenses as operating expenses, excluding (1) exploration expense, (2) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense and (3) share-based compensation expense. Cash operating expenses is not a measure of operating expenses as determined by GAAP. The amounts included in the calculation of cash operating expenses were computed in accordance with GAAP. Cash operating expenses is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of operating expenses. We use cash operating expenses as an indicator of the Company’s ability to manage its operating expenses and cash flows. This measure is 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 SEC filings and posted on our website. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash operating expenses to operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

F&D costs (unaudited) 23 F&D Cost reconciliation Cost summary (in thousands) Property acquisition costs Unproved properties $ 4,578 Proved properties - Exploration costs 3,831 Development costs 382,995 Total costs incurred $ 391,404 Reserves summary (MBoe) Balance – 12/31/2013 114,661 Extensions & discoveries 43,247 Production (1) (5,281) Revisions to previous estimates (6,379) Balance – 12/31/2014 146,248 F&D cost ($/Boe) All-in F&D cost $ 10.62 Drill-bit F&D cost 8.94 Reserve replacement ratio Drill-bit 819% All-in finding and development (“F&D”) costs are calculated by dividing the sum of property acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs for the year by the sum of reserve extensions and discoveries, purchases of minerals in place and total revisions for the year. 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 February 26, 2015. 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 2014 to the information required by paragraphs 11 and 21 of ASC 932-235. (1) Production includes 1,390 MMcf related to field fuel.
  • 24. PV-10 (unaudited) 24 The present value of our proved reserves, discounted at 10% (“PV-10”), was estimated at $1.4 billion at December 31, 2014, and was calculated based on the first-of-the-month, twelve-month average prices for oil, NGLs and gas, of $94.56 per Bbl of oil, $31.50 per Bbl of NGLs and $4.55 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 accordance with GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as computed under GAAP. (in millions) December 31, 2014 PV-10 $ 1,413 Less income taxes: Undiscounted future income taxes (1,267) 10% discount factor 910 Future discounted income taxes (357) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,056
