Q1 2014 Conference Call May 19, 2014
Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements Forward-Looking Statements All statements included in this presentation by Samson Resources Corporation (the Company or we ), other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements or information regarding our future capital expenditures, production, growth, results of operations, reserves, operational and financial performance, business prospects and opportunities and other future events. Words such as, but not limited to, potential, goal, foresee, anticipate, continue, estimate, expect, may, might, will, project, should, believe, intend, continue, could, plan, predict, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend on many events and assumptions, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results include, but are not limited to: (i) fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices; (ii) the uncertainty inherent in estimating our reserves, future net revenues and PV-10; (iii) the timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas; (iv) cash flow and changes in the availability and cost of capital; (v) environmental, drilling and other operating risks, including liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations; (vi) proved and unproved drilling locations and future drilling plans; (vii) the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including environmental, hydraulic fracturing and climate change regulation; and (viii) any of the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in the 2013 Annual Report of Samson Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries and in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 13, 2014.. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties referred to in this presentation occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Further, new factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such factors, or to the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Reserves Disclaimer The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or through reliable technology to be economically and legally producible at specific prices and existing economic and operating conditions. The Company may use the terms resource potential and EUR in this presentation to describe estimates of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons that the SEC rules prohibit from being included in filings with the SEC. These quantities do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer s Petroleum Resource Management System or SEC rules. EUR, or estimated ultimate recovery, refers to our management s internal estimates based on per well hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area. Estimates of resource potential and EUR are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves, and, accordingly, are subject to substantially more risk of actually being realized. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered may differ materially from the estimates contained in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include our ability to acquire the acreage we are targeting and the scope of our on-going drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of resource potential, per well EUR and drilling locations may change significantly as the Company pursues acquisitions. In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. 2
