GOM Drilling Inventory
► Currently 52 ready to drill prospects– Depths range from 6,000'–23,000' TVD
► 22 prospects: 0'–12,000'► 19 prospects: 12,000'–18,000'► 11 prospects: 18,000'–23,000'
– Net risked mean reserve exposure: 452.2 Bcfe
► Fully evaluated from a technical, risk, andeconomic prospective
► Key to successful portfolio management is the CMS planning and tracking system

Capital Management System (CMS)
Managing Our Drilling Program
► Value creation through the drill bit
► Strive for balanced program
► Disciplined pre-drill evaluation (risk, reserves, cost)
► Monthly post-drill analysis (actual results)
► Continuously comparing post-drill evaluation topre-drill assumptions
► Adjust program based on monthly results

El Paso Shelf Technology
► 3D seismic– Extensive database (60,000 mi2)– In-house data processing—Prestack time and depth migration– Multi-attribute analyses including: Inversion, coherency, and fluid factor
analysis– Pore pressure modeling and prediction
► Drilling– Bi-center bits– Expandable casing/liners– Drilling with casing
► Completions– 4 ½" monobore for deep shelf wells– Reduced time through single/half trip completions– Rigless thru-tubing frac packs for recompletions

“Deep Shelf”Upper/Middle Miocene Activity
► EP ST204 initiated the play► Upper–middle Miocene at 18,000'–21,000'► Large 4-way closures► AVO has been successfully applied in the play as a DHI► High-rate reservoirs with significant liquids
14
Industry “Deep Shelf”Sub Glide Plane Activity (Eocene Play)
► Deep frontier exploration below the regional glide plane► Large 4-way closures with Eocene, Paleocene and Cretaceous objectives► Drill depths between 22,000'–38,000'► Leverages existing infrastructure and MMS royalty relief
