- Total daily sales volumes averaged 170.4 thousand barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"), a 92% increase per diluted share compared to first-quarter 2012.
- Oil daily sales volumes averaged 129.2 thousand barrels, a 158% increase per diluted share compared to first-quarter 2012.
- Phobos discovery well announced, encountering approximately 250 net feet of high-quality lower Tertiary oil pay in the Gulf of Mexico.

- Operating cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $789.6 million compared to $329.2 million in the first-quarter of 2012.
- Long-term debt, including current maturities, was reduced by $420 million to approximately $9.7 billion at quarter-end 2013 compared to approximately $10.1 billion at year-end 2012.
- Income from operations was $397.3 million compared to $171.3 million in the first-quarter of 2012.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $22.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share compared to a first-quarter 2012 net loss attributable to common stockholders of $82.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share.
- Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders (a non-GAAP measure) was $139.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to first-quarter 2012 adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $77.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
PXP reported first-quarter revenues of $1.2 billion and net income attributable to common stockholders of $22.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to revenues of $524.3 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $82.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the first-quarter of 2012.
The first-quarter 2013 net income attributable to common stockholders includes certain items affecting the comparability of operating results. Those items consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses on our mark-to-market derivative contracts resulting in a net loss of $202.0 million due in large part to higher crude oil forward prices, a $15.5 million unrealized gain on investment in McMoRan Exploration Co. ("McMoRan") common stock, debt extinguishment costs of $18.1 million, and other items. When considering these items, PXP reports adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $139.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure), compared to $77.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial tables.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
PXP's 2013 first-quarter daily sales volumes averaged 170.4 thousand BOE per day compared to 87.9 thousand BOE in the first-quarter of 2012.
Crude oil sales volumes averaged 118.9 thousand barrels per day, compared to first-quarter 2012 average volumes of 47.8 thousand barrels per day. Volume growth is driven primarily by the addition of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets acquired in November 2012 and strong Eagle Ford Field performance.
Natural gas liquids sales volumes averaged 10.3 thousand barrels per day, compared to first-quarter 2012 average volumes of 1.8 thousand barrels per day. The increase reflects the addition of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets and strong Eagle Ford Field performance.
Natural gas sales volumes averaged 246.9 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day compared to 229.3 MMcf per day in the first-quarter 2012. The increase reflects the addition of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets and increased production from the Eagle Ford Field, partially offset by decreased production from the Haynesville Field.
In the Gulf of Mexico, first-quarter daily sales volumes averaged 60.7 thousand BOE per day net to PXP. The Company closed the acquisition of interests in certain deepwater Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties in late 2012. In early 2013, PXP acquired lease blocks near its newly acquired infrastructure and secured drilling rig capacity to accelerate its top-tier deepwater Gulf of Mexico program beginning in the second half of 2014. There have been additional producer wells drilled at Lucius and a significant discovery was announced at Phobos.
At the Lucius development in Keathley Canyon, four of the six planned producer wells have been drilled with two producer wells remaining to drill this year. In December 2011, the operator and its working interest partners sanctioned development of Lucius, a subsea development consisting of a truss spar hull located in 7,200 feet of water with a topside capacity of 80 thousand barrels of oil per day and 450 MMcf of gas per day. First production is anticipated in 2014. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is the operator. PXP has a 23.33% working interest.
At the Phobos prospect, located in Sigsbee Escarpment block 39, the operator and its partners recently announced a discovery at the Phobos-1 well which encountered approximately 250 net feet of high-quality oil pay in Lower Tertiary-aged reservoirs. The Phobos discovery was drilled to a total depth of 28,675 feet in approximately 8,500 feet of water, approximately 11 miles south of the Lucius development. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is the operator and is currently incorporating the data from the Phobos well to determine future activities. PXP has a 50% working interest.
In March 2013, PXP participated in the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf Lease Sale 227 and was the apparent high bidder on 11 deepwater blocks. Of the 11 blocks, 7 blocks are located near PXP's Holstein Hub and 3 blocks are located near PXP's Horn Mountain Hub. The sum of PXP's high bids was approximately $82.6 million. If all high bids are awarded, the Company's deepwater Gulf of Mexico portfolio will include interests in 152 blocks containing 60 prospects or leads in the Pliocene, Miocene, Tertiary and Cretaceous reservoirs. PXP has also contracted for two latest-generation, ultra-deep capable drill ships to accelerate the expansion of the Company's deepwater Gulf of Mexico program. The Noble Sam Croft drill ship and the Noble Tom Madden drill ship are currently under construction with delivery to PXP expected mid-year 2014 and early 2015, respectively.
PXP has been notified that the Pascagoula Gas Processing Plant, located in Pascagoula, Mississippi, operated by BP America Corporation and responsible for processing production from wells in the eastern corridor of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, will shut down for approximately 36 days starting on or about May 3, 2013 during which time required maintenance will be performed. This activity will disrupt processing system wide from several operators, including PXP. The PXP operated Horn Mountain platform and the PXP operated Marlin Hub will be impacted by the work at the gas processing plant. PXP holds a 100% working interest in the Horn Mountain and Marlin Fields. Oil and gas production could be shut-in while the gas processing plant undergoes its required maintenance. PXP's net average daily sales volumes from these facilities were 44.0 thousand BOE per day in the first quarter of 2013.
Despite the second-quarter impact on sales volumes from the required plant shut down, PXP maintains its total company full-year 2013 oil and natural gas sales volume mid-point guidance of 156.3 thousand BOE per day.
In the Eagle Ford Field, first-quarter daily sales volumes averaged 44.7 thousand BOE per day net to PXP compared to first-quarter 2012 average daily sales volumes of 13.9 thousand BOE per day net to PXP. At the end of March, PXP had 7 drilling rigs operating and 31 wells drilled but waiting on completion or connection to pipelines.
In California, first-quarter daily sales volumes averaged 37.2 thousand BOE per day net to PXP compared to the first-quarter 2012 daily sales volume average of 38.6 thousand BOE per day net to PXP. At the end of March, PXP had 4 drilling rigs operating onshore.
In the Haynesville Field, first-quarter daily sales volumes averaged 134.2 MMcf per day net to PXP compared to first-quarter 2012 average daily sales volumes of 173.5 MMcf per day net to PXP. The sales volume decline reflects significantly lower drilling activity. At the end of March, there were 4 drilling rigs operating in which PXP had a working interest.
CAPITAL SPENDING
For the first-quarter of 2013, PXP had cash expenditures of approximately $499.5 million for additions to oil and gas properties and leasehold acquisitions of which $106.1 million was funded by Plains Offshore Operations Inc., PXP's consolidated subsidiary.
COMMODITY PRICES

Including the impact of derivative transactions, the average realized price in the first-quarter 2013 was $97.10 per barrel, or 86% of Brent, compared to $102.01 per barrel in the first-quarter 2012, or 86% of Brent.
During the first-quarter of 2013, NYMEX gas price averaged $3.34 per million British thermal units ("MMBtu") compared to $2.73 per MMBtu in the first-quarter 2012. PXP's 2013 first-quarter natural gas average realized price before derivative transactions was $3.25 per MMBtu, or approximately 97% of NYMEX, compared to $2.56 per MMBtu in the first-quarter 2012, or 94% of NYMEX. Including the impact of derivative transactions, the average realized price in the first-quarter 2013 was $3.67 per MMBtu, or approximately 110% of NYMEX, compared to $3.29 per MMBtu in the first-quarter 2012, or 121% of NYMEX.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
James C. Flores, Chairman, President and CEO of PXP commented, "The first quarter results confirm the strong growth we have been projecting. Production, revenues, net cash provided by operating activities and earnings saw significant increases during the quarter led by the high rate-of-return crude oil production in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Eagle Ford Field, and California. Our diversified growth strategy, underpinned by a unique combination of oil and natural gas assets and our on-going risk management program, remains our competitive advantage. The Company is centered on executing its highly profitable, lower-risk, long-term, oil-focused growth plan which is complementary to the growth profile and cash margins of the large, low-cost, expandable asset base characteristics of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. with whom we have entered into a merger transaction."

Cash margin per BOE (a non-GAAP measure) is calculated by adjusting gross margin per BOE (a GAAP measure) to include the realized gain and loss 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. |

| Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure |
|||||
| The following table reconciles Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (GAAP) to Operating Cash Flow (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. 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 debt extinguishment costs, the unrealized gain and loss on mark-to-market derivative contracts, to include derivative cash settlements for the realized gain and loss on mark-to-market derivative contracts that are classified as investing activities for GAAP purposes, to exclude the unrealized gain and loss on the investment measured at fair value, to include distributions to holders of noncontrolling interest in the form of preferred stock of subsidiary that are classified as financing activities for GAAP purposes and to exclude certain other items. |
