Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking information regarding Halcón Resources that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on Halcón Resources’ current expectations beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and strategies. Forward-looking statements often, but not always, can be identified by using words such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "estimates", "potential", "possible", "probable", or "intends", or where Halcón Resources states that certain actions, events or results "may", "will", "should", or "could" be taken, occur or be achieved. Statements concerning oil, natural gas liquids and gas reserves also may be deemed to be forward-looking in that they reflect estimates based on certain assumptions including that the resources involved can be economically exploited. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; uncertainties involving geology of oil and natural gas deposits; the timing of and potential proceeds from planned divestitures; uncertainty of reserve estimates; uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; health, safety and environmental risks and risks related to weather such as hurricanes and other natural disasters; uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing; fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices; risks associated with derivative positions; inability to realize expected value from acquisitions, inability of our management team to execute plans to meet our goals; shortages of drilling equipment, oil field personnel and services; unavailability of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities; and the possibility that laws, regulations or government policies may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect Halcón Resources' pro forma operations or financial results are included in Halcón Resources’ reports on file with the SEC. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the projections in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Halcón Resources does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or such estimates or opinions change. 2
Cautionary Statements
The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible— from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions (using unweighted average 12-month first day of the month prices), operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The SEC also permits the disclosure of separate estimates of probable or possible reserves that meet SEC definitions for such reserves, however, we currently do not disclose probable or possible reserves in our SEC filings. We 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 are based on the Company’s internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. 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. For areas where the Company has no or very limited operating history, EURs are based on publicly available information relating to operations of producers operating in such areas. For areas where the company has sufficient operating data to make its own estimates, EURs are based on internal estimates by the Company’s management and reserve engineers. “Drilling locations” represent the number of locations that we currently estimate could potentially be drilled in a particular area estimated by well spacing assumptions applicable to that area. The actual number of locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interests will differ substantially. There is no commitment by the Company to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed these quantities. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include: (1) the scope of our on-going drilling program, which will be directly affected by factors that include 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 (2) actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. 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. 3
