1: Prospective Resource P(50) - unrisked, is the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is
required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons - see slide 21
2: PDP reserves - Proved Developed Producing Reserves. See Appendix "US Reserves and Resources" on slide 22
3: 1P reserves - Total Proved Reserves. See Appendix "US Reserves and Resources" on slide 22
4: 2P reserves - Total Proved plus Probable Reserves. See Appendix "US Reserves and Resources" on slide 22
5: NY Shale acreage currently subject to NY State regulations which do not allow high volume hydraulic fracturing of shale reservoirs
