Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures-unaudited |
21. Supplemental Oil and
Gas Disclosures – UNAUDITED
Geographic Area of Operation
All of our
proved reserves are located within the United States, with a
majority of those reserves located in the Gulf of Mexico and a
minority located in Texas. Therefore, the following disclosures
about our costs incurred, results of operations and proved reserves
are on a total-company basis.

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, 2012, by the year in which
the costs were incurred (in millions):

Oil and
Natural Gas Reserve Information
There are
numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves
and in providing the future rates of production and timing of
development expenditures. The following reserve information
represent estimates only and are inherently imprecise and may be
subject to substantial revisions as additional information such as
reservoir performance, additional drilling, technological
advancements and other factors become available. Decreases in the
prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas could have an adverse effect on
the carrying value of our proved reserves, reserve volumes and our
revenues, profitability and cash flow. We are not the operator with
respect to approximately 14% of our proved developed non-producing
reserves, so we may not be in a position to control the timing of
all development activities.
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 and the majority of
the reserves are located in the Gulf of Mexico. These reserve
estimates exclude insignificant royalties and interests owned by
the Company due to the unavailability of such
information.

Estimated reserves as of
December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are based on the
unweighted average of first-day-of-the-month commodity prices over
the period January through December for those years in accordance
with current definitions and guidelines set forth by the SEC and
the FASB. |
(2) |
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. |
(3) |
Includes revisions due to
price of 17.5 Bcfe. |
(4) |
Includes discoveries of
21.9 Bcfe primarily in the Main Pass 108, Main Pass 98 and Main
Pass 283 fields and extensions of 7.2 Bcfe primarily in the Main
Pass 283 field. |
(5) |
Primarily due to the
acquisition of the Total Properties and the Tahoe
Properties. |
(6) |
Includes revision of 6.3
Bcfe due to an increase in average prices; 16.5 Bcfe for a change
in NGLs marketing arrangements; 11.3 Bcfe increase due to
additional compression at our Tahoe field that increases production
and ultimate recoveries; and 10.6 Bcfe at our Fairway field for
revisions to reserve estimates from the acquisition date to year
end. |
(7) |
Includes discoveries of
13.9 Bcfe at our Main Pass 98 field and 8.0 Bcfe at our Ship Shoal
349/359 field and extensions of 3.7 Bcfe at our Main Pass 108
field. |
(8) |
Primarily due to the
acquisition of the Yellow Rose Properties and the Fairway
Properties. |
(9) |
Includes downward revisions
due to price of 8.0 Bcfe and negative performance revisions of 17.9
Bcfe at our Yellow Rose Properties. |
(10) |
Includes extensions and
discoveries of 69.5 Bcfe at our Yellow Rose Properties and
extensions and discoveries of 16.2 Bcfe at our High Island 22
field. |
(11) |
Due to the acquisition of
the Newfield Properties. |
(12) |
Due to the sale of our
interest in the South Timbalier 41 field. |

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash
Flows
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, as defined by the FASB. 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 December 31, 2012,
2011, 2010 and 2009. All prices are adjusted by lease 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:

Future
production, development costs and ARO are based on costs in effect
at the end of each of the respective years with no escalations.
Estimated future net cash flows, net of future income taxes, have
been discounted to their present values based on a 10% annual
discount rate.
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 2013 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
