Corporate Strategy  Maximize dollars at the drill bit Optimize Capital  Focus on prospects with higher liquids content (returns focused drilling program) Program  Reduce costs and improve efficiencies in the field  Delineate the liquids-rich Ft. Union and Granite Wash positions  Future Drill Bit Bolt-on to existing core positions Inventory  Actively monitor M&A market for potential acquisitions that provide visibility and inventory  Lower exploration risk Protect the Balance  Well hedged for the next 18 – 24 months Sheet in Short Term  Incremental non-core assets sales – Estimate of $300 million for 2013 Long Term  Equity contribution to fund growth from acquisitions or acceleration of delineated Opportunities to inventory Strengthen Balance  Position portfolio for public market access Sheet 4
