MANAGEMENT COMMENT
James C. Flores, Chairman, President and CEO of PXP commented, "The fourth-quarter and full-year financial and operational results highlight the sound execution of our strategic plan and high-quality asset base. We navigated a challenging business environment by, once again, applying experience and innovation and remaining focused on our long-term goal of value creation. We safely grew production and reserves, increased operating cash flow, strengthened our financial position, lowered portfolio geologic risk and aggressively expanded our onshore oil resource potential.
"In response to market conditions related to the Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium and as part of our ongoing portfolio optimization, we initiated a rigorous strategic evaluation of our Gulf of Mexico operations and determined the greatest benefit to our shareholders was to adjust our long-term operational plan to an onshore versus offshore oil growth strategy. We followed through and successfully acquired a significant position in the prolific South Texas Eagle Ford Shale play and reduced our Gulf of Mexico expenses and long lead-time capital requirements, yet retained upside exposure, by divesting our shelf assets in exchange for a combination of cash and a significant equity position in the well-capitalized McMoRan Exploration Co. The transaction was valued at over $900 million, based on December 30, 2010 closing stock price. Our previously announced deepwater portfolio divestment aimed at optimizing the value of those assets remains in process.
"With continued crude oil price strength, countered by slowly improving economic sentiment and persistently, low natural gas prices, we remain mindful of the importance to stay balanced between oil and natural gas, to protect our balance sheet and to continuously improve operating efficiencies. For 2010, we maintained our production costs relative to 2009 on a per unit basis and opportunistically entered into 2011 and 2012 crude oil and natural gas derivatives to protect the Company's future cash flows. We ended the year with no near-term debt maturities and approximately $779 million available under our revolving credit facility.
"Our balanced, low-risk portfolio of assets, our increased exposure to onshore oil-liquids focused development, and our ongoing hedging program will serve us well in the volatile commodity price environment and allow future potential upside. These attributes, combined with our financial position and skilled and dedicated workforce, are the catalysts positioning our program to grow reserves 15% to 20% and production 10% to 15% per year on average over the next 5 years."
PROVED RESERVES
Year-end estimated proved reserves of 416.1 million BOE were 54% oil and 46% natural gas and 57% developed and 43% undeveloped. The estimated reserves are based on the twelve-month average West Texas Intermediate oil price of $79.43 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas price of $4.38 per million British thermal units.
In 2010, PXP added total proved reserves of 98.5 million BOE. These additions replaced 302% of 2010 production at a cost of $17.69 per BOE. Finding and development costs, excluding acquisition costs which primarily reflect the Eagle Ford property acquisition, were $11.15 per BOE.
In 2010, we had a total of 77 million BOE of extensions and discoveries, including 54 million BOE in the Haynesville Shale resulting from successful drilling during 2010 that extended and developed the proved acreage and 17 million BOE in the Panhandle resulting from successful horizontal development of the Granite/Atoka Wash area. Positive revisions of 20 million BOE were primarily related to higher realized oil and gas prices, and proved reserve additions related to interests acquired in the Eagle Ford Shale were approximately 1 million BOE.
A summary of the Company's proved reserve reconciliation and costs incurred for 2010 is included with the financial tables.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
In the Eagle Ford Shale asset area, PXP has 4 drilling rigs operating and expects to have 4 to 6 rigs drilling on its acreage during 2011. There are 10 wells waiting on completion or connection to pipelines. Sales volume exit rates for the first quarter are expected to be in excess of 2,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) net to PXP and 5,000 BOEPD net by year-end 2011. Two notable wells recently completed by PXP are as follows:
- The Julie 1H well has been completed with an initial production rate of approximately 990 barrels of oil per day and 826 thousand cubic feet per day.
- The Julie 2H well has been completed with an initial production rate of approximately 920 barrels of oil per day and 756 thousand cubic feet per day.
PXP has a 100% working interest and a 75% net revenue interest in these wells.
In our core California asset area, Platform Irene is shut-in for planned maintenance. The work began mid-January and is expected to be completed by the end of the first-quarter 2011. Onshore California, PXP continues its active development program in the Los Angeles and San Joaquin Basins. With a large resource inventory identified for this asset area, it will sustain multi-year drilling programs providing future reserves, production and free cash flow. California is PXP's largest asset area with approximately 211 million BOE of proved reserves at year-end 2010 of which over 95% is oil. PXP maintained average daily sales volumes of approximately 40,000 BOE per day throughout 2010 and expects a 3% to 5% sales volume increase during 2011.
In the Texas Panhandle asset area, PXP has 5 drilling rigs operating in the Granite Wash trend and expects to continue this level of activity through 2011. There are 7 wells waiting on completion or connection to pipelines. Fourth-quarter average daily sales volumes were approximately 8,000 BOE per day net to PXP. Average daily sales volumes are expected to increase to approximately 17,000 BOE net per day by year-end 2011.
In the Haynesville Shale asset area, PXP's primary operator is currently operating 31 rigs and expects to operate an average of 25 rigs in 2011, plus PXP expects 15 or more rigs by other operators on its acreage. Fourth-quarter average daily sales volumes were approximately 146 million cubic feet equivalent (MMcfe) net to PXP. A record daily sales volume of 155.6 MMcfe net to PXP was reached in February and average daily sales volumes are expected to increase to approximately 160 MMcfe net per day by year-end 2011.

Cash margin per BOE (a non-GAAP measure) is calculated by adjusting gross margin per BOE (a GAAP measure) to include realized gains and losses on derivative instruments and to exclude DD&A. Management believes this presentation may be helpful to investors as it represents the cash generated by our oil and gas production that is available for, among other things, capital expenditures and debt service. PXP management uses this information to analyze operating trends for comparative purposes within the industry. This measure is not intended to replace the GAAP statistic but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating trends and performance. |

The 2009 realized gain excludes all cash settlements for the $106 crude oil puts and the $54 crude oil swaps monetized in the first quarter of 2009. Cash receipts on these instruments were $121.4 million prior to the $1.1 billion monetization in the first quarter 2009. |

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure |
|||||
The following table reconciles net income (GAAP) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Adjusted net income excludes certain items affecting the comparability of operating results and the related tax effects. Management believes this presentation may be helpful to investors. PXP management uses this information to analyze operating trends and for comparative purposes within the industry. This measure is not intended to replace the GAAP statistic but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating the Company's operational trends and performance. |

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure |
|||||||||||
The following tables reconcile Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) to Operating Cash Flow (non-GAAP) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Management believes this presentation may be useful to investors. PXP management uses this information for comparative purposes within the industry and as a means of measuring the Company's ability to fund capital expenditures and service debt. This measure is not intended to replace the GAAP statistic but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating the Company's operational trends and performance. |
|||||||||||
Operating cash flow is calculated by adjusting net income to add back certain non-cash and non-operating items, including unrealized gains and losses on mark-to-market derivative contracts, to include derivative cash settlements for realized gains and losses on mark-to-market derivative contracts that are classified as either investing or financing activities for GAAP purposes and to exclude certain items. |

(1) |
The Reserve Replacement Ratio is an indicator of our ability to replace annual production volume and grow our reserves. It is important to economically find and develop new reserves that will offset produced volumes and provide for future production given the inherent decline of hydrocarbon reserves as they are produced. |
|
(2) |
The Reserve Replacement Ratio and Finding and Development Costs per BOE are statistical indicators that have limitations, including their predictive and comparative value. As such, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our performance as reported under GAAP. Furthermore, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements used by other companies. |
|
(3) |
Includes capitalized interest expense of $128.0 million and capitalized general and administrative expense of $68.0 million. |
|
(4) |
Finding and Development Costs per BOE is a non-GAAP metric commonly used in the exploration and production industry. The calculations presented are described above. This calculation does not include the future development costs required for the development of proved undeveloped reserves. |
