Earnings Call Agenda
 
 

 
Long-term strategy based on three elements:
  Develop existing Eagle Ford production base
  Invest cash flow into acquisitions in lower-risk plays
  Expose 10% of annual capital to higher-risk new ventures
Strong second quarter performance led by:
  Successful down spacing in Gates Ranch and highly economic
 recoveries in new Eagle Ford areas
  Lower unit costs at drill bit and field operations
  Strong preliminary year-end reserve replacement estimate of
 450%

Overview - Randy Limbacher
 
 

 
 Net income growth reflects increased production, more favorable
 commodity mix and unrealized gain on derivative activities
 Liquids sales generated 83% of revenues*
 Operating cost improvements reflect lower total LOE, DD&A, and
 production taxes
 Unit T&T costs expected to trend slightly lower in second half with
 increasing Karnes Trough production
 Strong cash position of $60.1 million; current debt-to-cap ratio of
 30%
 Revised annual cost guidance reflects narrowed ranges and
 slightly higher costs

This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which give the Company's current expectations or forecasts of future
events based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts,
such as expectations regarding drilling plans, including the acceleration thereof, production rates and guidance, resource
potential, incremental transportation capacity, exit rate guidance, net present value, development plans, progress on
infrastructure projects, exposures to weak natural gas prices, changes in the Company's liquidity, changes in acreage
positions, expected expenses, expected capital expenditures, and projected debt balances. The assumptions of
management and the future performance of the Company are subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties
and there is no assurance that these statements and projections will be met. Factors that could affect the Company's
business include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with drilling of oil and natural gas wells; the Company's ability to
find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new reserves; the risk of drilling dry holes; oil and natural gas price volatility;
derivative transactions (including the costs associated therewith and the abilities of counterparties to perform thereunder);
uncertainties in the estimation of proved, probable, and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production
and reserve growth; inaccuracies in the Company's assumptions regarding items of income and expense and the level of
capital expenditures; uncertainties in the timing of exploitation expenditures; operating hazards attendant to the oil and
natural gas business; drilling and completion losses that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance;
potential mechanical failure or underperformance of significant wells; availability and limitations of capacity in midstream
marketing facilities, including processing plant and pipeline construction difficulties and operational upsets; climatic
conditions; availability and cost of material, supplies, equipment and services; the risks associated with operating in a limited
number of geographic areas; actions or inactions of third-party operators of the Company's properties; the Company's ability
to retain skilled personnel; diversion of management's attention from existing operations while pursuing acquisitions or
dispositions; availability of capital; the strength and financial resources of the Company's competitors; regulatory
developments; environmental risks; uncertainties in the capital markets; general economic and business conditions
(including the effects of the worldwide economic recession); industry trends; and other factors detailed in the Company's
most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these
risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Forward-Looking Statements and Terminology Used
 
 

 
For filings reporting year-end 2011 reserves, the SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible
reserves.  The Company has elected not to report probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC.  We use the
term “net risked resources” to describe the Company’s internal estimates of volumes of natural gas and oil that are not
classified as proved reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery
techniques.  Estimates of unproved resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves
and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by the Company.  Estimates of
unproved resources may change significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are
ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates. We use the term “BFIT NPV10” to describe the
Company’s estimate of before income tax net present value discounted at 10 percent resulting from project economic
evaluation. The net present value of a project is calculated by summing future cash flows generated by a project, both
inflows and outflows, and discounting those cash flows to arrive at a present value.  Inflows primarily include revenues
generated from estimated production and commodity prices at the time of the analysis.  Outflows include drilling and
completion capital and operating expenses.  Net present value is used to analyze the profitability of a project.  Estimates
of net present value may change significantly as additional data becomes available, and with adjustments in prior
estimates of actual quantities of production and recoverable reserves, commodity prices, capital expenditures, and/or
operating expenses.
