(a) Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) based on energy content of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas to one barrel of oil. Barrels of oil equivalence does not
necessarily result in price equivalence. The price of natural gas on a barrel of oil equivalent basis is currently substantially lower than the corresponding price for oil and has been similarly lower for a
number of years. For example, in 2015, the average prices of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil and New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas were $48.80 per barrel and $2.75 per Mcf,
respectively, resulting in an oil to gas ratio of 18 to 1.
(b) Includes proved reserves related to PSCs and other similar economic arrangements of 0.5 billion BOE, 0.7 billion BOE, 0.8 billion BOE and 0.8 billion BOE, at December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, and
2012, respectively.
(c) Revisions of previous estimates were primarily price and price-related.
(d) Approximately 11 percent of the proved developed reserves at December 31, 2015 are nonproducing, primarily associated with Permian EOR.
(e) A portion of the proved undeveloped reserves associated with the Al Hosn gas project is expected to be developed beyond five years and is tied to an approved long term development project.
