The Company did not have any reserves as of December 31, 2009.
 
As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had estimated proved reserves of 608,237 and 692,388 barrels of oil, respectively and 24,680 and 308,579 thousand cubic feet ("MCF") of natural gas, respectively.  Our reserves are comprised of 96% and 93% crude oil and 4% and 7% natural gas on an energy equivalent basis.
 
The following values for the December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 oil and gas reserves are based on the 12 month arithmetic average first of month price January through December 31 natural gas price of $3.96 and $4.39 per MMBtu (NYMEX price) and crude oil price of $88.16 and $77.78 per barrel (West Texas Intermediate price). All prices are then further adjusted for transportation, quality and basis differentials.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010, the Company completed multiple acquisitions which included proved reserves associated with producing properties. Included in the Company's December 31, 2010 proved reserves classified as 'Purchase of reserves' in the table above, are $3,760,000 and 643,955 barrels of crude oil attributable to the acquisitions.
 
The following summary sets forth the Company's future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas:

    (10,221 )     (8,544 )     -  
                         
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
  $ 20,014     $ 23,595     $ -  
 
(1)
Prior to January 2010, the Company did not own any oil and gas assets.

Our calculations of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows include the effect of estimated future income tax expenses for all years reported. We expect that all of our Net Operating Loss’ (“NOL”) will be realized within future carry forward periods. All of the Company's operations, and resulting NOLs, are attributable to our oil and gas assets. There were no taxes in any year as the tax basis and NOL's exceeded the future net revenue.
 
The principle sources of change in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows are:

Revisions in 2011 of previous quantity estimates relate principally to the exclusion of certain proven undeveloped well locations that were included in the reserve estimates dated December 31, 2010.
 
A variety of methodologies are used to determine our proved reserve estimates. The principal methodologies employed are reservoir simulation, decline curve analysis, volumetric, material balance, advance production type curve matching, petro-physics/log analysis and analogy. Some combination of these methods is used to determine reserve estimates in substantially all of our fields.
