Strategy #1 Apply new technology to old, established fields Escondido and Olmos Target reservoirs Escondido I: drilled vertical wells with multi-stage fracs co-mingling Escondido & Olmos Escondido II: horizontal drilling targets each formation separately Now employing Longer laterals, modified frac techniques #2 Drill a mix of Shallow Escondido and Olmos wells and deeper Eagle Ford wells 80% of 2012 budget targets shallow reservoirs; 20% for Eagle Ford New wells 100% horizontal 2 rigs
Strategy #3 Hold deep Eagle Ford rights Shallow horizontal drilling allows us to hold Wait for gas prices to improve #4. Economies of scale 95% success rate Finding & development costs +/- $2.00/mcfe Lifting costs < $0.20/mcfe
Strategy #5. Create value via: Large acreage position of >60,000 acres Large inventory of >600 repeatable drilling locations In multiple objectives with 2.5+ tcf gross resource potential 200+ bcf proved reserves Mexico WEBB Laredo Cotulla LA SALLE McMULLEN

Takeaways We are well-positioned for growth A major player in one of the most active plays in America Acreage strategically located to take advantage of very profitable shallow drilling opportunities in the Escondido and Olmos formations while maintaining deep Eagle Ford rights Economics of horizontal drilling in Escondido and Olmos are excellent, even in a low gas price environment
