Reserves

Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of proved and proved developed oil and gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir also may change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. Consequently, material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time.

Reserves Estimates.    All reserve information in this report is based on estimates prepared by our petroleum engineering staff and is the responsibility of management. The preparation of our oil and gas reserves estimates is completed in accordance with our prescribed internal control procedures, which include verification of data input into our reserves forecasting and economics evaluation software, as well as multi-discipline management reviews. The technical employee responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserves estimates has a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering, with more than 30 years of experience (including over 20 years of experience in reserve estimation).

Our reserves estimates are made using available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data. These estimates, made by our petroleum engineering staff, are reviewed annually with management and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional data. The data reviewed includes, among other things, seismic data, well logs, production tests, reservoir pressures, and individual well and field performance data. The data incorporated into our interpretations includes structure and isopach maps, individual well and field performance and other engineering and geological work products such as material balance calculations and reservoir simulation to arrive at conclusions about individual well and field projections. Additionally, offset performance data, operating expenses, capital costs and product prices factor into estimating quantities of reserves. Revisions are necessary due to changes in, among other things, reservoir performance, prices, economic conditions and governmental regulations, as well as changes in the expected recovery rates associated with development drilling. Sustained decreases in prices, for example, may cause a reduction in some reserves due to reaching economic limits sooner.

Reserves Activity Overview.    The following is a discussion of our proved reserves and reserve additions and revisions.

Our proved crude oil and condensate reserves at year-end 2014 were 301 million barrels compared to 270 million barrels and 237 million barrels at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our proved NGL reserves at year-end 2014 were 76 million barrels compared to 68 million barrels and 37 million barrels at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our proved natural gas reserves at year-end 2014 were 1.6 Tcf compared to 1.6 Tcf and 1.8 Tcf year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Liquids comprised about 58%, 55% and 48% of our proved reserves at year-end 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Reserve Additions and Revisions.    During 2014, our proved reserves increased 132 MMBOE as a result of additions (extensions, discoveries, improved recovery and purchases of reserves in place) and revisions of previous estimates. We expect the majority of future reserve growth to be associated with infill drilling, extensions of current fields and new discoveries, as well as improved recovery operations and purchases of proved properties. The success of these operations will directly impact reserve additions or revisions in the future.

Additions.    We added 72 MMBOE of proved reserves through discoveries, extensions and other additions, and 9 MMBOE through purchases. Drilling additions related to our domestic resource plays constituted 99% of our additions. Of the drilling additions, 52 MMBOE were proved undeveloped additions and 54 million barrels were liquids reserves.

Revisions.    Total proved reserve revisions in 2014 were a positive 51 MMBOE or 8% of the beginning of year proved reserves. They included a positive 3 MMBOE price revision which was primarily related to our onshore natural gas plays. In mature plays, dominated by infill drilling and where reserve growth cannot be classified as an extension or discovery, the change in reserves is captured as a revision. In 2014, our revisions associated with the development of existing fields were a positive 77 MMBOE. The remaining 29 MMBOE negative revisions are associated with development plan changes and well performance.

Sales.    In 2014, 2013 and 2012, we sold proved reserves associated with non-strategic assets and acreage trades.
