Forward-Looking Statements, Oil and Gas Reserves and Definitions Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because such statements include risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following: the volatility of commodity prices for natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil; our ability to develop, explore for, acquire and replace oil and gas reserves and sustain production; any impairments, write downs orwrite offs of our reserves or assets; the projected demand for and supply of natural gas, NGLs and oil; reductions in the borrowing base under our revolving credit facility; our ability to contract for drilling rigs, supplies and services at reasonable costs; our ability to obtain adequate pipeline transportation capacity for our oil and gas production at reasonable cost and to sell the production at, or at reasonable discounts to, market prices; the uncertainties inherent in projecting future rates of production for our wells and the extent to which actual production differs from estimated proved oil and gas reserves; drilling and operating risks; our ability to compete effectively against other independent and major oil and natural gas companies; uncertainties related to expected benefits from acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties; environmental liabilities that are not covered by an effective indemnity or insurance; the timing of receipt of necessary regulatory permits; the effect of commodity and financial derivative arrangements; our ability to maintain adequate financial liquidity and to access adequate levels of capital on reasonable terms; the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions, including force majeure events; our ability to retain or attract senior management and key technical employees; counterparty risk related to their ability to meet their future obligations; changes in governmental regulation or enforcement practices, especially with respect to environmental, health and safety matters; uncertainties relating to general domestic and international economic and political conditions; and the other risks, uncertainties and contingencies set forth in PVA s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our press releases and public periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which reflect management s views only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward looking statements, or to make any other forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Oil and Gas Reserves Effective January 1, 2010, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only proved reserves, but also probable reserves and possible reserves. As noted above, statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC s latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in PVA s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, available from PVA at Four Radnor Corporate Center, Suite 200, Radnor, PA 19087 (Attn: Investor Relations). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC s website at www.sec.gov. Definitions Proved reserves are those estimated quantities of oil and gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and government regulation prior to the expiration of the contracts providing the right to operate, unless renewal of such contracts is reasonably certain. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves, but which are more likely than not to be recoverable (there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserve estimates). Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recoverable than probable reserves (there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserve estimates). 3P reserves refer to the sum of proved, probable and possible reserves. Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date. 2
Strategic Road Map Near-Term and Long-Term Strategies for Generating Value Maintain liquidity Completed $300 million senior note offering, netting over $50MM in cash Increase oil/ngl exposure Targeting high rate of return projects in low gas price environment Considering sale of non-core gas assets to fund growth in oilier plays Retain optionality of core gas assets Horizontal Cotton Valley, Haynesville Shale, Selma Chalk, etc. Explore and develop: Eagle Ford Shale - Continue to build acreage position; drill multi-year inventory Marcellus Shale - Continue to de-risk acreage and consider alternatives Mid-Continent - Upside associated with exploration program 3
