Oil and Gas Reserves

 

Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil, gas and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can reasonably be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.  The reserve volumes presented are estimates only and should not be construed as being exact quantities.  These reserves may or may not be recovered and may increase or decrease as a result of our future operations and changes in economic conditions.  Our oil and gas reserves were audited by independent reserve engineers at December 31, 2014,  2013 and 2012.

Mboe is calculated as mbbls plus mmcf divided by 6.

 

Proved reserves decreased from 23.5 mmboe at December 31, 2013 to 12.2 mmboe at December 31, 2014 primarily due to:

 

·

The transfer of 8.0 mmboe of PUD reserves to probable undeveloped reserves.  The transferred reserves are economically producible at December 31, 2014 and had they remained classified as proved would have had a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of approximately $75 million.  The decision to transfer these PUD reserves was based on uncertainties that exist around the financing required to develop these PUD reserves in a reasonable amount of time due to our filing of Chapter 11 under the Bankruptcy Code including the potential consequences from our anticipated breach of our leverage covenant under our Amended Term Loan Facility which are further discussed in Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11.

·

The transfer of all PUD reserves related to our Columbus field of 1.8 mmboe were reclassified to contingent resources as of December 31, 2014 as the field development plan has not yet been approved.

 

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

 

Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying average 12-month pricing for the year.  Oil, gas and condensate prices are escalated only for fixed and determinable amounts under provisions in some contracts.  Estimated future income taxes are computed using current statutory income tax rates where production occurs.  The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a 10% annual discount factor.

 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the prices used to determine the estimates of future cash inflows were as follows:

Estimated future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future development, production, abandonment and dismantlement costs based on year-end cost levels, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, and by estimated future income tax expense.  Income tax expense, both U.S. and foreign, is calculated by applying the existing statutory tax rates, including any known future changes, to the pretax net cash flows giving effect to any permanent differences and reduced by the applicable tax basis.  The effect of tax credits is considered in determining the income tax expense.

 

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended to present the fair market value of our oil and gas reserves.  An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, an allowance for return on investment and the risks inherent in reserve estimates.
