2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation may contain forward-looking information and statements regarding EPL. Any statements included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that EPL expects, believes, plans, projects, estimates or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: stock market conditions; the trading price of EPL s common stock; cash demands caused by planned and unplanned capital expenditures; changes in general economic conditions; uncertainties in reserve and production estimates; unanticipated recovery or production problems; hurricane and other weather-related interference with business operations; the effects of delays in completion of, or shut-ins of, gas gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities; changes in legislative and regulatory requirements concerning safety and the environment as they relate to operations; oil and natural gas prices and competition; the impact of derivative positions; production expenses and expense estimates; cash flow and cash flow estimates; future financial performance; drilling and operating risks; our ability to replace oil and gas reserves; risks and liabilities associated with the properties to be acquired in the acquisition; volatility in the financial and credit markets or in oil and natural gas prices; and other matters that are discussed in EPL s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

26 Why Invest in EPL? Large, captured asset base of lowrisk, repeatable oily assets Self-funded growth plan Majority of 2013 Capex program allocated toward low-risk, oil development Strong balance sheet Unmatched technical expertise in both exploration and development, few companies our size have similar capabilities 26

27 Key Takeaways Value Oil Growth Compelling value proposition: current market valuation does not reflect the quality of our assets & organic inventory Captured a large, high-quality oily asset base with low decline curves Technical expertise to unlock our organic inventory & the financial framework to continue aggregating quality assets 27
