Forward looking statements and related matters 18 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 “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “expect”, “guidance”, “potential” 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 planned capital expenditures, estimated reserves, estimated production targets, drilling and development plans, the timing of production, planned 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, commodity prices, industry conditions, the prices of goods and services, the availability of drilling rigs and other support services, our liquidity and the availability of capital resources, labor conditions, severe weather conditions, China and U.S. governmental regulations and other operating risks. Please see Newfield’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly and current reports 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 actual results. 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. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Newfield’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Newfield’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, 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. Newfield may use terms in this presentation, such as “resources”, “net resources”, “net discovered resources”, “net unrisked drilling resource”, “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. These terms include reserves with substantially less certainty than proved reserves, and no discount or other adjustment is included in the presentation of such reserve numbers. Investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in Newfield’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, available at www.newfield.com, www.sec.gov or by writing Newfield at 4 Waterway Square Place, Suite 100, The Woodlands, Texas 77380 Attn: Investor Relations.
