Cash provided by operating activities was $1.234 billion in 2015 compared to $4.634 billion in 2014 and $4.614
billion in 2013. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from 2015 to 2014 is primarily the result of lower
realized prices for the oil, natural gas and NGL we sold, partially offset by realized gains on our derivative instruments
and decreases in certain of our operating expenses. Changes in cash flow from operations are largely due to the same
factors that affect our net income, excluding various non-cash items such as depreciation, depletion and amortization,
impairments, gains or losses on sales of fixed assets, deferred income taxes and mark-to-market changes in our
derivative instruments. See further discussion below under Results of Operations.
