| This presentation by Newfield Exploration Company includes forward-looking information. All information other than historical facts included in this presentation, including information regarding estimated proved reserves, production targets, anticipated production rates, planned capital expenditures, the number of wells planned to be drilled in the future, the relative risks and potential of planned exploratory wells, the availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures and business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, is forward-looking information. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such expectations are based upon assumptions and anticipated results that are subject to numerous uncertainties. Actual results may vary significantly from those anticipated due to many factors, including drilling results, oil and gas prices, industry conditions, the prices of goods and services, the availability of drilling rigs and other support services and the availability of capital resources. In addition, the drilling of oil and gas wells and the production of hydrocarbons are subject to governmental regulations and operating risks. There are numerous additional uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves, including many factors beyond the control of the Company. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, estimates made by different engineers often vary from one another. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may necessitate revisions of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from quantities of oil and natural gas that are recovered. |
