Capitalized Costs Not Subject to Amortization

Costs not subject to amortization relate to unproved properties which are excluded from amortizable capital costs until it is determined that proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until such time as the Company has made an evaluation that impairment has occurred.  Subject to industry conditions, evaluation of most of these properties is expected to be completed within one to five years.  The following table provides a summary of costs that are not being amortized as of December 31, 2014, by the year in which the costs were incurred (in millions):

Schedule of Oil and Natural Gas Information

The following sets forth estimated quantities of our net proved, proved developed and proved undeveloped oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves.  All of the reserves are located in the Unites States with 69% located in the Gulf of Mexico and the remainder located in the West Texas Permian Basin.  These reserve estimates exclude insignificant royalties and interests owned by the Company due to the unavailability of such information.  In addition to other criteria, estimated reserves are assessed for economically viability based on the unweighted average of first-day-of-the-month commodity prices over the period January through December for the year in accordance with definitions and guidelines set forth by the SEC and the FASB.  The prices used do not purport, nor should it be interpreted, to present the current market prices related to our estimated oil and natural gas reserves.  Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in determining our proved reserves for the periods presented.  The prices used are presented in the section below entitled “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows”.

MMBbls – million barrels for crude oil, condensate or NGLs

 

Bcf – billion cubic feet

MMBoe – million barrels of oil equivalent

 

Bcfe – billion cubic feet of gas equivalent

 

 

(1)

The conversion to barrels of oil equivalent and cubic feet equivalent were determined using the energy-equivalent ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate or NGLs (totals may not compute due to rounding).  The energy-equivalent ratio does not assume price equivalency, and the energy-equivalent prices for oil, NGLs and natural gas may differ significantly.

(2)

Includes downward revisions due to price of 1.3 MMBoe and negative performance revisions of 3.0 MMBoe at our Spraberry field.

(3)

Includes extensions and discoveries of 11.6 MMBoe at our Spraberry field and extensions and discoveries of 2.7 MMBoe at our High Island 21/22 field.

(4)

Due to the acquisition of the Newfield Properties.

(5)

Due to the sale of our interest in the South Timbalier 41 field.

(6)

Includes upward revision due to price of 1.9 MMBoe; negative revisions of 4.9 MMBoe at our Spraberry field for performance and technical changes, 2.3 MMBoe at our High Island 21/22 field for performance, 1.3 MMBoe at our Ship Shoal 349/359 field for performance; and positive performance revisions of 0.7 MMBoe at our Main Pass 98 field, 0.7 MMBoe at our South Timbalier 314, 0.6 MMBoe at our Main Pass 108 field and 0.5 MMBoe our South Timbalier 176 field.  

(7)

Includes extensions and discoveries of 12.6 MMBoe at our Spraberry field, 4.2 MMBoe at our Ship Shoal 349 field and 1.9 MMBoe at our Mississippi Canyon 698 field.

(8)

Primarily due to the acquisition of the Callon Properties.

(9)

Primarily due to the sales of our non-working interests in the Green Canyon 60 field, the Green Canyon 19 field and the West Delta area block 29.

(10)

Includes upwards revisions due to price of 0.3 MMBoe; positive revisions of 2.4 MMBoe at our Fairway field, 1.2 MMBoe at our Mississippi Canyon 800 field and 6.4 MMBoe at various fields; and negative revisions of 3.9 MMBoe at our Spraberry field and 2.4 MMBoe at various other fields.

(11)

Includes extensions and discoveries of 4.1 MMBoe at our Spraberry field and 4.1 MMBoe at our Mississippi Canyon 782 field.

(12)

Primarily due to acquiring additional ownership in the Fairway field and acquisition of the Woodside Properties.

(13)

We believe that we will be able to develop all but 1.4 MMBoe of the reserves classified as proved undeveloped (“PUDs”), or approximately 96%, out of the total of 36.7 MMBoe classified as PUDs at December 31, 2014, within five years from the date such reserves were initially recorded.  The exception is at the Mississippi Canyon 243 field (Matterhorn) where the field is being developed using a single floating tension leg platform requiring an extended sequential development plan.  The platform cannot support a rig that would allow additional wells to be drilled, but can support a rig to allow sidetracking of wells.  These PUDs were originally recorded in our reserves as of December 31, 2010.  The development of the 1.4 MMBoe of PUDs will be delayed until an existing well is depleted and available to sidetrack.  Based on the latest reserve report, a well is expected to be drilled to develop the Mississippi Canyon 243 field (Matterhorn) PUDs in 2020.

Schedule of Prices Weighted by Field Production Related to Proved Reserves

The following presents the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to our proved oil and natural gas reserves together with changes therein.  Future cash inflows represent expected revenues from production of period-end quantities of proved reserves based on the unweighted average of first-day-of-the-month commodity prices for the periods presented.  All prices are adjusted by field for quality, transportation fees, energy content and regional price differentials.  Due to the lack of a benchmark price for NGLs, a ratio is computed for each field of the NGLs realized price compared to the oil realized price.  Then, this ratio is applied to the oil price using FASB/SEC guidance.  The average commodity prices weighted by field production related to the proved reserves are as follows:

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flow

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows does not purport, nor should it be interpreted, to present the fair market value of our oil and natural gas reserves.  These estimates reflect proved reserves only and ignore, among other things, future changes in prices and costs, revenues that could result from probable reserves which could become proved reserves in 2014 or later years and the risks inherent in reserve estimates.  The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to our proved oil and natural gas reserves is as follows (in millions):
