We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The SEC permits oil and natural gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves, as each is defined by the SEC. At times we use the term "EUR" (estimated ultimate recovery) to provide estimates that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. In addition, this presentation includes a table demonstrating the sensitivity of proved oil and natural gas reserves to price fluctuations by comparing the reserves calculated under the price assumptions required by current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules to (1) spot prices at December 31, 2009, and (2) the 10-year average NYMEX strip prices as of December 31, 2009. The reserves presented under these alternative price assumptions are not calculated in accordance with current SEC rules, and they have not been reviewed by independent petroleum engineers. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable or possible reserves and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company. For a discussion of the company’s proved reserves, as calculated under current SEC rules, we refer you to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K referenced above, which is available on our website at www.sandridgeenergy.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. |
