Forward Looking Statements Statements in this presentation including forecasts or projections that are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words anticipate, assume, believe, budget, estimate, expect, forecast, initial, plan, project, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. These statements about Magellan Petroleum Corporation and Magellan Petroleum Australia (collectively the Company ) may relate to their businesses and prospects, planned capital expenditures, increases or decreases in oil and gas production, revenues, expenses, operating cash flows and borrowings, and other matters that involve a number of uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Among these risks and uncertainties are the following: the timeliness of our acquisition of drilling permits related to our CO 2 -EOR project at Poplar; our ability to acquire short and long term CO 2 supply for our Poplar CO 2 -EOR project; our ability to enter into satisfactory agreements for the sale of natural gas from our Dingo field in Australia; the likelihood of success of a water shut-off program at Poplar Field; government regulation and oversight of drilling and completion activity in the United Kingdom; the uncertain nature of oil and gas prices in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom; uncertainties inherent in projecting future rates of production from drilling activities; the uncertainty of drilling and completion conditions and results; the availability of drilling, completion, and operating equipment and services; the results of 2D and 3D seismic related to the NT-P82 interest offshore Australia; and other matters discussed in the Risk Factors section of The Company s most recent Annual Report on Form 10K. Any forward-looking information provided in this report should be considered with these factors in mind. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. In this presentation, the Company uses the terms probable, possible, 3P, and resources. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations (subject to other conditions). Resources are quantities of oil and gas and related substances estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. The Company also uses the term EUR (estimated ultimate recovery), which is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date. Estimates of probable and possible reserves included in 3P reserves and resources which may potentially be recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques are by their nature more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized by the Company. 1
