PER DEBT ADJ. SHARE SINCE 2016

1. Net debt/trailing 12-month EBITDAX. 2. 2016 free cash flow is based on cash flow from operating activities of $268 million plus net working capital changes of $82 million less capital expenditures incurred of $500 million. The capital expenditures incurred exclude $84 million of land acquisitions.3. 2019 FCST free cash flow is based on estimated CFFO less forecasted capital expenditures including operated and non-operated drilling and completions, facilities and midstream opportunities. Estimated CFFO is based on forecasted adjusted EBITDAX further adjusted for other items such as interest and stock-based compensation.4. Annual production growth that is normalized for any changes in debt or equity. This metric monitors a company’s ability to grow production responsibly in a shareholder friendly manner. Share price based on YE 2016 and held constant.

Applied learnings to first Williston pads

Project description

Applied learnings to first Delaware pad (CBR 41-44) Coring additional 1,240 ft in

Stateline from 2nd Bone Spring to

3rd Bone Spring bench for CBR 10

• Contiguous 806 ft core running from bottom of 3rd Bone Spring through Wolfcamp B • Equipped with microseismic geophones and external pressure & temperature

gauges • Strategically placed to monitor fracs during completion, overall well performance &

drainage through life of the well• Permanent DAS-DTS fiberoptic installation

• Lower well costs• Improved early production

2 0 1 9

• Improved completion/cluster design• Fine tuned well spacing, landing targets, and artificial lift

numerical specificity, certain forward-looking statements or information are based (1) upon assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, environmental, seasonal,

competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks including, without limitation, the ability to obtain debt and equity financings, capital costs, construction costs, well production performance, operating

costs, commodity pricing, differentials, royalty structures, field upgrading technology, and other known and unknown risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the

Company's control, and (2) upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change.

There can be no assurance that the results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements or information or the underlying assumptions will be realized and that actual results of operations or

The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be

estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and governmental

regulations. The SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves. We have elected to use in this presentation “probable” reserves and “possible” reserves, excluding their valuation.

The SEC defines “probable” reserves as “those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.”

The SEC defines “possible” reserves as “those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.” The Company has applied these definitions in estimating probable and

possible reserves. Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not

specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC’s reserves reporting guidelines.

Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure regarding our business that may be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The SEC’s rules prohibit us from filing resource estimates. Our resource estimations include estimates of hydrocarbon quantities for (i) new areas for which we do not have sufficient information to date to

classify as proved, probable or even possible reserves, (ii) other areas to take into account the low level of certainty of recovery of the resources and (iii) uneconomic proved, probable or possible reserves.

Resource estimates do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery and are therefore not indicative of the expected future recovery and should not be relied upon. Resource estimates might

never be recovered and are contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors.

This presentation may include certain financial measures, including adjusted EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses), that are non-

GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they

are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare a company’s performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the

operating performance of the company and aid investor understanding. Management also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information regarding our ability to meet future

debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance

prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
