Encore in a Nutshell Domestic onshore oil and gas producer with properties located in the Rockies, the Mid-Continent, and the Permian Basin Create value through three competitive advantages Strategic acquisitions Focused reservoir management Creative deal structures that enhance inventory Also create value through a prudent hedge policy


 

Encore Overview Note: Represents approximate unrisked gross drilling locations by area as of 12/31/05. Also reflects approximate unrisked gross drilling locations provided by the West Texas joint development agreement announced 03/28/06. Location totals are estimates and subject to adjustment. (1) See appendix for R/P calculation Over 1200 unrisked locations - 274 gross wells expected in 2006 31,450 BOEPD average production (1H06) 196 MMBOE of proved reserves Reserves / production 17 years Oil about two-thirds of total production 2006 budget - $353 million Permian Basin Region - $57 million Mid-Continent Region - $158 million Northern Region - $112 million Other capital - $26 million (1)


 

CCA Crude Oil ~ A Diamond in the Rockies Cedar Creek Anticline oil represents nearly 60% of Encore's total proved reserves of oil and gas Increased competition from Canadian and other Rockies production and limited markets for Rockies crude have recently widened differentials versus oil at Cushing However, it is important to remember two things about Encore's crude oil reserves in the CCA Location: CCA crude oil is well placed 100% domestic and not subject to geopolitical risk Far away from the ravages of summer hurricanes Squarely in the path of major pipeline trade routes between Canada and the U.S. Resides in the belly of the hungriest crude oil consumer in the world Quality: CCA crude oil is well composed CCA crude is low in sulfur, which makes it cheaper for refiners to treat and meet environmental quality standards CCA oil is a high API gravity crude, which yields refiners a higher proportion of valuable products (e.g., gasoline and diesel) Source: Deutsche Bank, EIA, and Encore Cedar Creek Anticline (US)


 

Oil Hedge Program Via put options, Encore retains upside but limits downside Two-thirds of our production is oil (1) Hedge percentages use 1H06 oil production in the denominator. Hedge prices are NYMEX equivalent. In 2008 and 2009, 4,000 and 5,000 BOPD of puts with $50 strikes are sold. Encore has 25% of oil production floored at $70 in 2009 Oil Puts While the average put strike price is $65, almost half of these puts have a strike price of $70 Oil hedging


 

Results of Strategy


 

Reservoir Management Results ~ Proved Reserves Proved Reserves at Acquisition Encore's acquisition program and reservoir management adds reserves and creates value 1.9x 1.4x 1.6x 1.3x 1.7x Current proved developed producing reserves are 1.3x the estimate of total proved reserves at the time of acquisition Current total proved reserves are 1.7x the estimate of total proved reserves at the time of the acquisition Proved + Production


 

Proved Reserves at Acquisition We add value - time and time again 2.8x 2.0x 3.3x 2.0x 2.7x Including unrisked identified potential, the in-house value is 2.7x the estimate of total proved reserves at the time of acquisition Proved + Production + Upsides Reservoir Management Results ~ Proved Reserves Plus Upsides

Inventory Management That Fits the Current Market Environment Majors are looking for competent partners to develop legacy fields Joint development agreements enhance Encore's inventory without acquiring the existing production Skips single digit returns associated with acquisition of the PDP portion of old fields Adds low risk drilling opportunities The technical work is the same as always - exploiting quality vintage fields Establishes Encore as a preferred joint development partner Successfully negotiated deals in 2006 that Encore has inked so far West Texas joint venture - 20 MMBOE potential New Mexico farm-outs - 4 MMBOE potential Brown Bassett Wolfcamp farm-out - 5 MMBOE potential Total 29 MMBOE potential
