Glossary of Oil and Natural Gas Termsii
GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS
The following is a glossary of certain oil and natural gas terms that are used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) and our other periodic reports under the Exchange Act:
| Basin | A large depression on the earth’s surface in which sediments accumulate. |
|---|---|
| Bbl or barrel | One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in this report in reference to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons. |
| BO/d | One barrel of crude oil per day. |
| BOE | One barrel of crude oil equivalent, with six thousand cubic feet of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. |
| BOE/d | One BOE per day. |
| Completion | The process of treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil, or in the case of a dry hole, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency. |
| Crude oil | Liquid hydrocarbons retrieved from geological structures underground to be refined into fuel sources. |
| Development well | A well drilled within the proved area of a natural gas or oil reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive. |
| Differential | An adjustment to the price of oil or natural gas from an established spot market price to reflect differences in the quality and/or location of oil or natural gas. |
| Fracturing | The process of creating and preserving a fracture or system of fractures in a reservoir rock typically by injecting a fluid under pressure through a wellbore and into the targeted formation. |
| Gross wells | The total wells in which a mineral interest is owned. |
| Henry Hub | Natural gas gathering point that serves as a benchmark price for natural gas futures on the NYMEX. |
| Horizontal wells | Wells drilled directionally horizontal to allow for development of structures not reachable through traditional vertical drilling mechanisms. |
| MBbls | One thousand barrels of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons. |
| MBOE | One thousand BOE, determined using a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids. |
| MBOE/d | One thousand BOE per day. |
| Mcf | One thousand cubic feet of natural gas. |
| Mineral interests | The interests in ownership of the resource and mineral rights, giving an owner the right to profit from the extracted resources. |
| MMBtu | One million British Thermal Units. |
| MMcf | Million cubic feet of natural gas. |
| Net royalty acres | Net mineral acres multiplied by the average lease royalty interest and other burdens. |
| Oil and natural gas properties | Tracts of land consisting of properties to be developed for oil and natural gas resource extraction. |
| Operator | The individual or company responsible for the exploration and/or production of an oil or natural gas well or lease. |
| Proved reserves | The estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. |
ii
| Reserves | Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to the market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations). |
|---|---|
| Royalty interest | An interest that gives an owner the right to receive a portion of the resources or revenues without having to carry any costs of development, which may be subject to expiration. |
| Spud | Commencement of actual drilling operations. |
| Waha Hub | Natural gas gathering point that serves as a benchmark price for natural gas in western Texas and New Mexico. |
| WTI | West Texas Intermediate, a light sweet blend of oil produced from fields in western Texas and is a grade of oil that serves as a benchmark for oil on the NYMEX. |
| WTI Cushing | Grade of oil that serves as a benchmark price for oil at Cushing, Oklahoma. |
