WHITING PETROLEUM CORPORATION

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Whiting Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) and adjusted to reflect the sale of its interests in certain oil and gas producing properties located in its enhanced oil recovery projects in the Postle and Northeast Hardesty fields in Texas County, Oklahoma, including the related Dry Trail plant gathering and processing facility, oil delivery pipeline, its entire 60% interest in the Transpetco CO2 pipeline, crude oil swap contracts and certain other related assets and liabilities (collectively the “Postle Properties”), effective April 1, 2013, for a cash purchase price of $816.5 million after selling costs and post-closing adjustments, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $116.4 million.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 both give effect to the disposition of the Postle Properties as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable. However, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. In our opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the disposition of the Postle Properties had occurred on January 1, 2012 as indicated above, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods presented.

WHITING PETROLEUM CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On July 15, 2013, Whiting Petroleum Corporation (“Whiting” or the “Company”) completed the sale to BreitBurn Operating L.P. (“BreitBurn”) of Whiting’s interests in certain oil and gas producing properties located in its enhanced oil recovery projects in the Postle and Northeast Hardesty fields in Texas County, Oklahoma, including the related Dry Trail plant gathering and processing facility, oil delivery pipeline, its entire 60% interest in the Transpetco CO2 pipeline, crude oil swap contracts and certain other related assets and liabilities (collectively the “Postle Properties”), effective April 1, 2013, for a cash purchase price of $816.5 million after selling costs and post-closing adjustments, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $116.4 million. The Company used the net proceeds from this transaction to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under its credit agreement.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 both give effect to the disposition of the Postle Properties as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable, however, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. In our opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the disposition of the Postle Properties had occurred on January 1, 2012 as indicated above, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. In addition, the $116.4 million gain on sale and related taxes were not included in the pro forma consolidated statements of income due to their nonrecurring nature. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated historical financial statements and related notes for the periods presented.

Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted earnings per share calculations consist of unvested restricted stock awards and outstanding stock options using the treasury method, as well as convertible perpetual preferred stock using the if-converted method. In the computation of diluted earnings per share, excess tax benefits that would be created upon the assumed vesting of unvested restricted shares or the assumed exercise of stock options (i.e. hypothetical excess tax benefits) are included in the assumed proceeds component of the treasury share method to the extent that such excess tax benefits are more likely than not to be realized.

Note 2. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income

The following adjustments have been made to the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012:

 

  (a) Reflects the elimination of revenues and operating expenses of the Postle Properties.

 

  (b) Reflects the elimination of the gain on sale of Postle Properties as this non-recurring item is directly attributable to the sale and is not expected to have a continuing impact.

 

  (c) Reflects the reduction to general and administrative expenses resulting from the decrease in employee compensation and benefits for those administrative employees that were not retained by Whiting following the sale of the Postle Properties.

 

  (d) Reflects the reduction to interest expense associated with the repayment of $816.5 million in debt outstanding under Whiting’s credit agreement.

 

4


  (e) Reflects the elimination of losses on mark-to-market derivatives that were recognized prior to certain crude oil swap contracts being transferred to BreitBurn upon closing of the purchase and sale transaction.

 

  (f) Reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments presented, based on Whiting’s combined statutory tax rate of 38.9% that was in effect during the periods for which pro forma consolidated statements of income have been presented.
