The information presented herein contains predictions, estimates and other forward looking statements that are subject to risk factors that are associated with the oil and gas business. Although the company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements include the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, the need to develop and replace reserves, environmental risks, drilling and operating risks, risks related to exploration and development, uncertainties about the estimates of reserves, competition, government regulation and the ability of the company to meet its stated business goals. All references to dollars in this presentation are to US currency, unless otherwise stated.

Gulf of Mexico – Vast Infrastructure

  • High oil & gas prices - ready market for discoveries
  • Highly productive area - leases readily available
  • Extensive Infrastructure: one land owner - Regulator, 1,141 oil & gas fields,

14,000 miles pipeline

  • Majors moving to deep water leaving opportunities for proven shelf acreage

e.g. W&T Acquisition of KERR-McGEE SHELF 150 MMCFe/D & 330 BCFe MMS ESTIMATE GOM SHELF Remaining Proved Reserves 4,870 MMBO & 21.5 TCF 777 MMBO & 15.4 TCF Unproved Reserves 3,361 MMBO & 9.0 TCF 201 MMBO & 3.1 TCF
