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 such statements, other than statements of
historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including, without limitation, any projections of financial items; future production volumes, results of
exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition and operations expenditures, and prospective reserve levels of
properties or wells; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any
statements concerning developments, performance or industry rankings; and any statements of assumptions
underlying any of the foregoing. These statements involve certain assumptions we made based on our experience
and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe
are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially.
The risks, uncertainties and assumptions referred to above include the performance of contracts by suppliers,
customers and partners; employee management issues; local, national and worldwide economic conditions;
uncertainties inherent in the exploration for and development of oil and gas and in estimating reserves; complexities
of global political and economic developments; geologic risks, volatility of oil and gas prices and other risks described
from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and any subsequent quarterly report on Form
10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of
this presentation and the associated press release. We assume no obligation or duty and do not intend to update
these forward-looking statements except as required by the securities laws.
References to quantities of oil or gas include amounts we believe will ultimately be produced, and may include
“proved reserves” and quantities of oil or gas that are not yet classified as “proved reserves” under SEC definitions.
Statements of oil and gas reserves are estimates based on assumptions and may be imprecise. Investors are urged
to consider closely the disclosure regarding reserves in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Executive Summary

 Second quarter results included the following matters:
  Non-cash impairment charges of $159.9 million ($1.00 per diluted share, after taxes) primarily
 associated with a reduction in carrying values of 15 Gulf of Mexico (“GOM”) shelf oil and gas
 properties due to a revision in mid-year proved reserve estimates resulting from the
 reassessment of field economics.
  In addition, we recorded incremental depletion expense of $18.8 million as a result of a reduction
 in mid-year proved reserves for our deepwater Bushwood field.

Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in millions)
We calculate adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization,   
and exploration expense. Further, we do not include earnings from our former interest in Cal Dive in any periods presented in our adjusted
EBITDAX calculation. These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other internal and external users of our financial statements in
evaluating our operating performance because they are widely used by investors in our industry to measure a company's operating 
performance without regard to items which can vary substantially from company to company and help investors meaningfully compare our results
from period to period. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead is supplemental to, income from
operations, net income or other income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to,
and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types
of events and transactions which are excluded.
