This presentation contains 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. The words will, believe, intend, plan, expect or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Other than historical facts included in this presentation, all information and statements, such as information regarding estimated reserves, production targets, drilling and development plans and the timing of production and other activities, planned capital expenditures, the availability of capital resources to fund capital expenditures and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Although as of the date of this presentation Newfield believes that these expectations are reasonable, this information is based upon assumptions and anticipated results that are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks. Actual results may vary significantly from those anticipated due to many factors, including drilling results, oil and gas prices, industry conditions, the prices of goods and services, the availability of drilling rigs and other support services, the availability of refining capacity for the crude oil Newfield produces in the Uinta Basin in Utah, the availability of capital resources, labor conditions, severe weather conditions, governmental regulations and other operating risks. Please see Newfield s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a discussion of other factors that may cause actual results to vary. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed herein or in Newfield s SEC filings could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undo reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Unless legally required, Newfield undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Cautionary Note to Investors Effective January 1, 2010, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC s definitions for such terms. Newfield may use terms in this presentation, such as resources, net resources, net discovered resources, net risked resources, net lower-risked captured resources, net risked captured resources, gross resources, gross resource potential, gross unrisked resource potential, gross unrisked resources, and similar terms that the SEC s guidelines strictly prohibit in SEC filings.
