Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed
in
this
presentation
are
“forward-looking
statements”
as
defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These statements involve
certain assumptions PXP made based on its experience and perception
of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and
other factors it believes are 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.  These risks and uncertainties include, among
other things, uncertainties inherent in the exploration for and development
and production of oil and gas and in estimating reserves, the timing and
closing of acquisitions and divestments, unexpected future capital
expenditures, general economic conditions, oil and gas price volatility, the
success of our risk management activities, competition, regulatory
changes
and
other
factors
discussed
in
PXP’s
filings
with
the
SEC.
References to quantities of oil or natural gas may include amounts that
the Company believes will ultimately be produced, but that are not yet
classified as "proved reserves" under SEC definitions.

The following table reconciles the debt-adjusted operating margin (non-GAAP) to the net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) for the three months ended
June 30, 2010. Management believes this presentation may be useful to investors.  PXP management uses this information for comparative purposes within the
industry and as a means to measure cash generated by our oil and gas production and the ability to fund, among other things, capital expenditures and
acquisitions.  This measure is not intended to replace the GAAP statistic but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating the
Company's operational trends and performance.
Debt-adjusted operating margin is calculated by adjusting gross margin to include general & administrative expenses, interest expense and realized losses on
mark-to-market derivative contracts and to exclude depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense (DD&A) and noncash compensation expense.
