1 PD F&D and RODD 2011 PD F&D and RODD Increased; Data Suggest the Need for Higher Natural Gas Prices 2011 PD F&D increased versus 2010, but 2011 estimated returns still went up. Though PD F&D and RODD measure costs for all projects (oil, NGLs, and natural gas combined), the data suggest that the gassy companies (and gassy projects) generally need $5+ gas prices to achieve adequate rates of return. The group return for 2011 appears to be just above the cost of capital, and this return assumes ~$100/Bbl oil and $4.12/Mcfe gas for estimating future cash flows. This note summarizes our estimates for PD F&D and RODD. PD F&D higher on service costs. The median PD F&D (ex leasehold) was $3.15/Mcfe in 2011, up 18% from $2.68/Mcfe in Higher service costs and a greater focus on oily and liquids-rich gas plays, which tend to have higher F&D costs and generally are early stage, offset greater efficiencies from more mature, gas-weighted operations.

Morgan Securities LLC Higher RODD. The median return, as measured by RODD, increased to 12.5% in 2011 from 11.0% in The increase likely is due to more oil, NGL, and liquidsrich gas production which helped realize better average prices, thereby improving cash margins. PD F&D: A good measure of capital efficiency. PD F&D captures the cost to find and fully develop reserves. The main shortcoming of traditional F&D is that it includes PUDs, reserve volumes for which operators have not incurred drilling and completion costs. 13 companies of the 38 we follow include a PUD conversion table in their 10-Ks. This table has all the data we need to calculate the changes in PUDs and PD reserves. Other companies provide most of the data in text form or upon request. For companies that do not disclose the data, we need to make assumptions about the % of PD reserves acquired, sold and revised from the prior year. We encourage E&P companies to provide the data to more accurately calculate PD F&D (% revisions, acquisitions and divestitures that are PD; % PD by country; and other necessary items). RODD: The returns a company generates from the PD F&D investment. PD F&D is an important measure of capital efficiency, but we think investors should focus on rates of return. Our analysis indicates a good correlation between return measures (RODD and ROIC) and stock price performance. A company could have low F&D costs but relatively low returns or, conversely, high F&D costs and relatively high returns. Return on drilling dollars (RODD) is the expected IRR from a company s E&P (mainly exploration and development) capex. Besides PD F&D (capital investment), a company s operating cash margins and timing of cash flows (PD reserve life) affect the returns it achieves. Need for >$5/Mcf natural gas. In our RODD calculations, the average gas price we assumed to calculate a future cash margin is around $4.12/Mcf. Some gas-weighted companies achieve good returns using this price assumption, but many do not (Tables 8 and 9). The fact that many do not get double-digit rates of return on $4.12 Henry Hub gas, and the fact that these operators likely are some of the most efficient in the industry, suggests a need for a higher gas price for the industry.

As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision.
2 2011 PD F&D We calculate proved developed finding and development cost (PD F&D) in two ways: All-in PD F&D and Ex-leasehold PD F&D. The All-in measure includes all capital costs except proved property acquisition costs. One could think of All-in PD F&D as a full-cycle F&D calculation. The Ex-leasehold measure excludes acquisition of unproved property (i.e., leasehold acquisition costs). All-in PD F&D might be a better measure of full-cycle economics, whereas Ex-leasehold PD F&D could be a better metric for current economics. For All-in PD F&D, we use a five-year average for the costs associated with the acquisition of unproved properties. We average leasehold costs because, while the cost of leasehold can be significant, companies do not always add proved developed reserves in the same year that they incur the leasehold costs. To bring oil and natural gas to production, operators need to lease land, conduct predrill activities (prepare the drilling site and infrastructure and possibly shoot seismic) as well as drill and complete wells. The most significant E&P capital costs are the costs of drilling and completing wells. The PD F&D metric tries to incorporate all capital costs associated with bringing oil and gas reserves to production. PD F&D also tries to match the timing of PD reserve adds with the timing of capital costs. Since companies have incurred little or no cost in adding PUD reserves, we exclude PUD reserve adds in the PD F&D calculation. Only when companies convert those PUDs to PD reserves by drilling and completing the PUD wells do those reserves become a part of the PD F&D calculation. We estimate that 2011 Ex-leasehold PD F&D increased 18% yoy and is above the three-year average (see Table 1). 2

5 From 2003 to 2006, the group s Ex-leasehold PD F&D increased 2.0x (see Table 3). However, over the past five years the median Ex-leasehold PD F&D has been more variable, ranging between $2.68 and $3.25/Mcfe. 2011E median Ex-leasehold PD F&D increased 18% yoy to $3.15/Mcfe, likely due to increased service costs and a shift to earlier-stage liquids plays. Liquids plays tend to cost more, and the earlystage plays more than offset any greater operating efficiencies from more mature gasweighted plays.

These costs should decline meaningfully as the companies begin adding PD reserves. 6
7 RODD PD F&D is a useful measure by itself, but we view the metric as just the first step in determining which of the companies added value through their operations. Once we derive a company s PD F&D, we calculate the rate of return we expect the company to achieve on its drilling-related investment. We call this measure the return on drilling dollars, or RODD. A company s PD reserve life index (PD RLI) determines the timing of its future cash flow. Companies with shorter PD RLIs get cash from their capital investments quicker than those with longer PD RLIs. For this reason, companies with longer PD RLIs generally need lower PD F&D costs to get the same or better rates of return. 7

CIE excluded because it has no booked reserves. MMR excluded from RODD calculation. We estimate that the long-term cost of capital for the group is close to 10%. Therefore, a RODD of less than 10% usually means a company is destroying value. E&P companies, which typically focus on single-project rates of return, need to concentrate on total enterprise rates of return, in our view. A focus on total enterprise rates of return might lead companies to invest only in the highest-returning projects and distribute more cash back to shareholders. Table 6 shows our estimate of 2011E, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and three-year average returns generated from capital spent on developing reserves. 8

CIE excluded because it has no booked reserves. MMR excluded from RODD calculation. The shift away from dry gas drilling to more oil and liquids-rich gas drilling apparently has lead to improved returns for the group. The RODD calculation assumes a production profile that has all reserves produced in 3x the PD RLI. Additionally it assumes that half the reserves are produced in 1/2 the PD RLI. For instance, a company with a PD RLI of 10 will produce its 2011E PD reserve adds in 30 years (3x the 10-year PD RLI) and will produce half of those 9
10 reserves by the end of year 5 (1/2 the 10-year PD RLI). This production profile approximates a hyperbolic-type curve (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Assumed Production Profile (PD RLI = 10 years) A Source: J.P. Morgan estimates. Point A: Years = 50% of PD RLI Cumulative Production = 50% of PD Reserves Point B: Years = 3x PD RLI Cumulative Production = 100% of PD Reserves B The three-year forward cash margin is spread across the production profile and is used as the cash flow for the IRR (RODD) calculation. Our calculation of the 2011E group RODD at 12.5% suggests that RODD has increased and is above the 10% cost of capital.

12 Gas Conclusion Using Ex-leasehold PD F&D, the table below shows that the gassiest companies need an average gas price of around $4.81/Mcf to achieve a ~10% RODD and around $5.14/Mcf for a ~15% RODD.

Our coverage universe of 38 E&Ps produces around 43% of U.S. natural gas production, or around 29 Bcf/d (grossed up for royalties only) of the total estimated marketed production of ~67 Bcf/d. Using Ex-leasehold PD F&D, five companies achieved RODDs below 10%, and these five companies collectively produce around 5.2 Bcf/d net, or 6.5 Bcf/d (grossed up for royalties only). On a gross basis, these five companies produce ~10% of total U.S. gas production. 12
