MMcfe is based on a ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 barrel.
(2) 
During 2013, the Company's estimated proved reserves, inclusive of the Company's share of Piceance Energy's estimated proved reserves, increased by 68,724 MMcfe or approximately 41%. Revisions of quantity estimates related to our share of Piceance Energy's estimated proved reserves resulted in an increase of 90,387 MMcfe from the beginning of year reserves. These revisions are primarily associated with wells that became economic during 2013.
(3) 
During 2014, the Company's estimated proved reserves, inclusive of the Company's share of Piceance Energy's estimated proved reserves, increased by 17,152 MMcfe or approximately 7%. Extensions and discoveries related to our share of Piceance Energy's estimated proved reserves resulted in an increase of 24,808 MMcfe from the beginning of year reserves. These extensions and discoveries are primarily associated with successful completions by Piceance Energy.

________________________________________________
(1) No income tax provision is included in the standardized measure calculation shown above as we do not project to be taxable or pay cash income taxes based on its available tax assets and additional tax assets generated in the development of its reserves because the tax basis of its oil and gas properties and NOL carryforwards exceeds the amount of discounted future net earnings.
