  Notes
1 We internally evaluate all of our reserves and have at least 80% of our proved reserves assessed by independent qualified consultants each year; 98% were assessed this year. Our reserves are also reviewed and approved by our Reserves Committee and our Board of Directors. Reserves represent our working interest before royalties at year-end constant pricing using Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Gas is converted to equivalent oil at a 6:1 ratio.
2 Probable reserves are determined according to SPE/WPC definitions. US investors should read the Cautionary Note to US Investors.
3 US investors should read the Cautionary Note to US Investors.
