NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Operations. W&T Offshore, Inc. and subsidiaries, referred to herein as “W&T” or the “Company,” is an independent oil and natural gas producer focused primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Texas. The Company is active in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. Our interest in fields, leases, structures and equipment are primarily owned by W&T Offshore, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, W&T Energy VI, LLC (“Energy VI”).

Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim periods and the appropriate rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements for annual periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation. The change in Insurance receivables was combined with the change in Joint interest and other receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Transactions between Entities Under Common Control. The prior period financial information presented in Note 13, Supplemental Guarantor Information, has been retrospectively adjusted due to transactions between entities under common control, as required under authoritative guidance.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. Historically, we have had only minor issues collecting our receivables. For situations where collectability is uncertain, and for joint-interest arrangements where the ability to recover receivables from future net revenues is uncertain, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2014, we had an immaterial amount recorded in the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded at December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adjustment related to additional volumes. In January 2014, we identified that we had been receiving an erroneous conversion factor from a third party that had the effect of understating natural gas production at our Viosca Knoll 783 field (Tahoe). The incorrect conversion factor had been used on all natural gas production from the field since we acquired it in 2011. The effect of using this incorrect conversion factor did not affect revenues, operating cash flows or royalty payments to the federal government but did impact reported natural gas production and the calculation of depletion expense. We performed an analysis of the information, assessing both quantitative and qualitative factors, and determined that the impact on our net income reported for quarters in 2013, as well as the impact to our earnings trend, was not material to the previously reported results, thus the adjustment was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013. The amounts included in the adjustment recognized in the fourth quarter 2013 period which relate to the second quarter of 2013 were: an increase in natural gas production volumes of 254 million cubic feet (“MMcf”) (with no corresponding increase in revenue); an increase to depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense (“DD&A”) of $0.7 million; and a decrease to net income of $0.5 million. The amounts included in the adjustment recognized in the fourth quarter 2013 period which relate to the first half of 2013 were: an increase in natural gas production volumes of 518 MMcf (with no corresponding increase in revenue); an increase to DD&A of $1.5 million; and a decrease to net income of $1.0 million.

Recent Accounting Developments. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts and Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 amends and replaces current revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The revised guidance establishes a five step approach to be utilized in determining when, and if, revenue should be recognized. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Upon application, an entity may elect one of two methods, either restatement of prior periods presented or recording a cumulative adjustment in the initial period of application. We have not determined the effect ASU 2014-09 will have on the recognition of our revenue, if any, nor have we determined the method we will utilize upon adoption, which would be in the first quarter of 2017.

On May 20, 2014, Energy VI entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain oil and natural gas property interests from Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. (“Woodside”). The properties acquired from Woodside (the “Woodside Properties”) consisted of a 20% non-operated working interest in the producing Neptune field (deepwater Atwater Valley blocks 574, 575 and 618), along with an interest in associated production facilities and various interests in 24 other non-operated fields. All of the Woodside Properties are located in the Gulf of Mexico. The effective date of the transaction was November 1, 2013. The transaction included customary adjustments for the effective date, certain closing adjustments and our assumption of the related asset retirement obligations (“ARO”). The purchase price is expected to be finalized during 2014. The acquisition was funded from borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility and cash on hand.

The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation, including estimated adjustments, for the acquisition of the Woodside Properties (in thousands):

The acquisition was recorded at fair value, which was determined by applying the market and income approaches using Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 inputs were: (i) analysis of comparable transactions obtained from various third-parties, (ii) estimates of ultimate recoveries of reserves and (iii) estimates of discounted cash flows based on estimated reserve quantities, reserve categories, timing of production, costs to produce and develop reserves, future prices, ARO and discount rates. The estimates and assumptions were determined by management and third-parties. The fair value is based on subjective estimates and assumptions, which are inherently imprecise, and the actual realized values could vary significantly from these estimates. No goodwill was recorded in connection with the Woodside Properties acquisition.

The Woodside Properties were not included in our consolidated results until the property transfer date, which occurred in May 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Woodside Properties accounted for $6.9 million of revenues, $0.7 million of direct operating expenses, $2.2 million of DD&A and $1.4 million of income taxes, resulting in $2.6 million of net income. Also, we incurred $0.1 million of expenses associated with acquisition and transition activities related to the acquisition of the Woodside Properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The net income attributable to the Woodside Properties does not reflect certain expenses, such as general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) and interest expense; therefore, this information is not intended to report results as if these operations were managed on a stand-alone basis. In addition, the Woodside Properties are not recorded in a separate entity for tax purposes; therefore, income tax was estimated using the federal statutory tax rate.

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the unaudited pro forma financial information was computed as if the acquisition of the Woodside Properties had been completed on January 1, 2013. The financial information was derived from W&T’s audited historical consolidated financial statements for annual periods, W&T’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods, and the Woodside Properties’ unaudited historical financial statements for the annual and interim periods.

The pro forma adjustments were based on estimates by management and information believed to be directly related to the purchase of the Woodside Properties. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the purchase occurred on January 1, 2013. Had we owned the Woodside Properties during the periods indicated, the results may have been substantially different. For example, we may have operated the assets differently than Woodside; the realized sales prices for oil, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and natural gas may have been different; and the costs of operating the Woodside Properties may have been different.

The following table presents a summary of our pro forma financial information (in thousands, except earnings per share):

For the pro forma financial information, certain information was derived from our financial records, Woodside’s financial records and certain information was estimated.

The following table presents incremental items included in the pro forma information reported above for the Woodside Properties (in thousands):

The pro forma adjustments do not include adjustments related to any other acquisitions or divestitures.

On October 17, 2013, W&T Offshore, Inc. entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain oil and natural gas property interests from Callon Petroleum Operating Company (“Callon”). Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, transfers of certain properties that had no preferential rights were consummated on November 5, 2013 and transfers of certain properties subject to preferential rights, of which third-parties declined to exercise their preferential rights, were consummated on December 4, 2013. The properties acquired from Callon (the “Callon Properties”) consist of a 15% working interest in the Medusa field (deepwater Mississippi Canyon blocks 582 and 583), interest in associated production facilities and various interests in other non-operated fields. All of the Callon Properties are located in the Gulf of Mexico. The effective date of the transaction was July 1, 2013. The transaction included customary adjustments for the effective date, certain closing adjustments and we assumed the related ARO. An upward net purchase price adjustment of $0.6 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the purchase price was finalized in the second quarter of 2014. The acquisition was funded from borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility and cash on hand.

The following table presents the purchase price allocation, including adjustments, for the acquisition of the Callon Properties (in thousands):

The Callon Properties were not included in our consolidated results until the respective property transfer dates, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Callon Properties accounted for $8.7 million of revenues, $1.0 million of direct operating expenses, $1.6 million of DD&A and $2.1 million of income taxes, resulting in $4.0 million of net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Callon Properties accounted for $17.4 million of revenues, $2.0 million of direct operating expenses, $7.0 million of DD&A and $2.9 million of income taxes, resulting in $5.5 million of net income. The net income attributable to the Callon Properties does not reflect certain expenses, such as G&A and interest expense; therefore, this information is not intended to report results as if these operations were managed on a stand-alone basis. In addition, the Callon Properties are not recorded in a separate entity for tax purposes; therefore, income tax was estimated using the federal statutory tax rate. There were no expenses associated with acquisition activities and transition activities related to the acquisition of the Callon Properties for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013.

Consistent with the computation of pro forma financial information presented in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2013, the unaudited pro forma financial information was computed as if the acquisition of the Callon Properties had been completed on January 1, 2012. The financial information was derived from W&T’s audited historical consolidated financial statements for annual periods, W&T’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods, the Callon Properties’ audited historical financial statement for 2012 and the Callon Properties’ unaudited historical financial statements for interim periods.

2013 Divestitures. On July 11, 2013, we sold our non-operated working interest in two offshore fields located in the Gulf of Mexico; the Green Canyon 60 field and the Green Canyon 19 field. The effective date was October 1, 2011 and we retained the deep rights in both fields. Due to the length of time from the effective date, we paid $4.3 million to sell the properties as revenues exceeded operating expenses and the purchase price for the period between the effective date and the close date. In connection with the sale, we reversed $15.6 million of our ARO.

On September 26, 2013, we sold our working interests in the West Delta area block 29 with an effective date of January 1, 2013. The property is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Including adjustments for the effective date, the net proceeds were $14.7 million, which includes a $1.7 million post-effective-date repayment that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 1031 and other applicable regulations, with funds held by a qualified intermediary until replacement purchases are made. Replacement purchases were made in 2013, which were within the replacement periods as defined under the IRC. In connection with this sale, we reversed $3.9 million of ARO.

Our ARO primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives in accordance with applicable laws.

Our market risk exposure relates primarily to commodity prices and interest rates. From time to time, we use various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk from sales of our oil and natural gas and interest rate risk from floating interest rates on our revolving bank credit facility. All of the derivative counterparties are also lenders or affiliates of lenders participating in our revolving bank credit facility. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the derivative counterparties; however, we currently anticipate that each of our derivative counterparties will be able to fulfill their contractual obligations. Additional collateral is not required by us due to the derivative counterparties’ collateral rights as lenders and we do not require collateral from our derivative counterparties.

In accordance with GAAP, we record each derivative contract on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability at its fair value. For additional information about fair value measurements, refer to Note 6. We have elected not to designate our commodity derivative contracts as hedging instruments; therefore, all changes in the fair value of derivative contracts are recognized currently in earnings. The cash flows of all of our commodity derivative contracts are included in Net cash provided by operating activities on the statements of cash flows.

Commodity Derivatives. We have entered into commodity swap contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to commodity price risk from sales of oil through December 2014. While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of price volatility, they may also limit future income from favorable price movements. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and during 2013, our derivative contracts consisted entirely of crude oil swap contracts. The crude oil swap contracts are comprised of a portion based on Brent crude oil prices, a portion based on West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices and a portion based on Light Louisiana Sweet (“LLS”) crude oil prices. The Brent based swap contracts are priced off the Brent crude oil price quoted on the IntercontinentalExchange, known as ICE. The WTI based swap contracts are priced off the New York Mercantile Exchange, known as NYMEX. The LLS based swap contracts are priced from data provided by Argus, an independent media organization. Although our Gulf of Mexico crude oil is based off the WTI crude oil price plus or minus a differential, the realized prices received for our Gulf of Mexico crude oil, up until October 2013, have been closer to the Brent crude oil price because of competition with foreign supplied crude oil, which is based off the Brent crude oil price. Therefore, a portion of the oil swap contracts are priced off the Brent crude oil price to mitigate a portion of the price risk associated with our Gulf of Mexico crude oil production.

The following balance sheet line items include amounts related to the estimated fair value of our open derivative contracts as indicated in the following table (in thousands):

Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts are recognized currently in earnings and were as follows (in thousands):

Offsetting Commodity Derivatives. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of our derivative agreements allowed for netting of derivative gains and losses upon settlement. In general, the terms of the agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between us and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. If an event of default were to occur causing an acceleration of payment under our revolving bank credit facility, that event may also trigger an acceleration of settlement of our derivative instruments. If we were required to settle all of our open derivative instruments, we would be able to net payments and receipts per counterparty pursuant to the derivative agreements. Although our derivative agreements allow for netting, which would allow for recording assets and liabilities per counterparty on a net basis, we account for our derivative contracts on a gross basis per contract as either an asset or liability.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding of our senior notes, which bear an annual interest rate of 8.50% and mature on June 15, 2019 (the “8.50% Senior Notes”), was classified as long-term at their carrying value. Interest on the 8.50% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15. The estimated annual effective interest rate on the 8.50% Senior Notes is 8.4%, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs and premiums. We are subject to various financial and other covenants under the indenture governing the 8.50% Senior Notes and we were in compliance with those covenants as of June 30, 2014.

The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) governs our revolving bank credit facility and terminates on November 8, 2018. Borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility are secured by our oil and natural gas properties. Availability under such facility is subject to a semi-annual redetermination of our borrowing base that occurs in the spring and fall of each year and is calculated by our lenders based on their evaluation of our proved reserves and their own internal criteria.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving bank credit facility. The estimated annual effective interest rate was 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 for borrowings under the revolving bank credit facility. The estimated annual effective interest rate includes amortization of debt issuance costs and excludes commitment fees and other costs. As of June 30, 2014, our borrowing base was $750.0 million and our borrowing availability was $439.4 million.

Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, including a minimum current ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants of the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2014.

For information about fair value measurements for our 8.50% Senior Notes and revolving bank credit facility, refer to Note 6.

We measure the fair value of our derivative financial instruments by applying the income approach, using models with inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The inputs used for the fair value measurement of our derivative financial instruments are the exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, notional quantities, the implied volatility, the discount curve with spreads and published commodity futures prices. The fair value of our 8.50% Senior Notes is based on quoted prices, although the market is not an active market; therefore, the fair value is classified within Level 2. The carrying amount of debt under our revolving bank credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

The following table presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, 8.50% Senior Notes and revolving bank credit facility (in thousands):

As described in Note 4, our derivative financial instruments are reported in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. The 8.50% Senior Notes and revolving bank credit facility are reported in the balance sheet at their carrying value as described in Note 5.

In 2010, the W&T Offshore, Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by our shareholders, and amendments to the Plan were approved by our shareholders in May 2013. As allowed by the Plan, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and in 2013 and 2012, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain of its employees. RSUs are a long-term compensation component of the Plan, which are granted to only certain employees, and are subject to adjustments at the end of the applicable performance period based on the achievement of certain predetermined criteria. In addition to share-based compensation, the Company may grant to its employees cash-based incentive awards, which are a short-term component of the Plan and are based on the Company and the employee achieving certain pre-defined performance criteria.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, RSUs granted were subject to a combination of performance criteria, which was comprised of: (i) net income before income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion and certain other items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for 2014 and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin”) for 2014. Adjustments range from 0% to 100% dependent upon actual results compared against pre-defined performance levels.

During 2013, RSUs granted were subject to a combination of performance criteria, which was comprised of: (i) Adjusted EBITDA for 2013; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2013; and (iii) the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) ranking against peer companies’ TSR for 2013, 2014 and January 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015. TSR is determined based upon the change in the entity’s stock price plus dividends for the applicable performance period. For 2013, the Company exceeded the target for Adjusted EBITDA, was approximately at target for 2013 Adjusted EBITDA Margin and was below target for TSR ranking.

During 2012, RSUs granted were subject to a combination of performance criteria, which was comprised of: (i) earnings per share for 2012; and (ii) the Company’s TSR ranking against peer companies’ TSR for 2012, 2013 and January 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Plan, discretionary authority was exercised for certain non-executive employees, which reduced the forfeitures that would have occurred through application of the pre-defined performance measurement.

All RSUs granted to date are subject to employment-based criteria and vesting occurs in December of the second year after the grant. For example, the RSUs granted during 2012 will vest in December 2014 to eligible employees.

The 2014 annual incentive plan award for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be settled in shares of common stock based on a price of $14.66 per share, subject to pre-defined performance measures and approval of the Compensation Committee. As the number of shares cannot be determined and a grant has not yet been made, the CEO’s 2014 award is accounted for as a liability award and adjusted to fair value using the Company’s closing price at the end of each reporting period. The compensation related to the 2013 annual incentive plan for the CEO was determined based on pre-defined company and individual performance measures pursuant to the terms of his award and was settled in shares of common stock in March 2014. The performance measures for the CEO’s award were the same as the performance measures established for the other eligible Company employees for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Under the Director Compensation Plan, shares of restricted stock (“Restricted Shares”) were granted to the Company’s non-employee directors during 2014 and prior years. The Restricted Shares are subject to service conditions and vesting occurs at the end of specified service periods.

W&T OFFSHORE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Unaudited)

At June 30, 2014, there were 5,032,939 shares of common stock available for issuance in satisfaction of awards under the Plan and 500,564 shares of common stock available for issuance in satisfaction of awards under the Director Compensation Plan. The shares available for both plans are reduced when Restricted Shares or shares of common stock are granted. RSUs will reduce the shares available in the Plan only when RSUs are settled in shares of common stock. Although the Company has the option to settle RSUs in stock or cash at vesting, only common stock has been used to settle vested RSUs to date.

We recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors over the period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award, based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the date of grant. We are also required to estimate forfeitures, resulting in the recognition of compensation cost only for those awards that are expected to actually vest.

Awards Based on Restricted Stock to Non-Employee Directors. As of June 30, 2014, all of the unvested shares of Restricted Shares outstanding were issued to the non-employee directors. Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture until vested and cannot be sold, transferred or disposed of during the restricted period. The holders of Restricted Shares generally have the same rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to such Restricted Shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the Restricted Shares. The fair value of Restricted Shares was estimated by using the Company’s closing price on the grant date.

A summary of activity in 2014 related to Restricted Shares awarded to non-employee directors is as follows:

Subject to the satisfaction of service conditions, the outstanding Restricted Shares issued to the non-employee directors as of June 30, 2014 are expected to vest as follows:

The grant date fair value of Restricted Shares granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The fair value of Restricted Shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Awards Based on Restricted Stock Units. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding RSUs issued to certain employees. As described above, the RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 are subject to pre-defined performance measures which cannot be determined at this time; therefore, no portion has been determined to be eligible for vesting as of June 30, 2014. A portion of the RSUs granted during 2013 and 2012 remains subject to certain pre-defined performance measures of TSR for the defined periods in 2014 and 2015; therefore, the number of RSUs may be adjusted upon determination of the respective performance. These RSU adjustments related to TSR performance will not affect unrecognized expense, as the fair value of the portion related to market-based awards was established at the date of grant (described below) and actual performance does not affect expense recognition for this portion. The portion of RSUs subject to performance measurement and adjustment ranges are disclosed in the second table below.

The fair value for the RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was determined using the Company’s closing price on the grant date. The fair value for the 2013 RSUs was determined separately for the component related to the Company specific performance measures (Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin) and the component related to TSR targets. The fair value of the 2013 RSUs component related to the Company specific performance measures was determined using the Company’s closing price on the grant date. The fair value for the 2013 RSUs component related to TSR targets was determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation probabilistic model. The inputs used in the probabilistic model for the Company and the peer companies were: average closing stock prices during January 2013; risk-free interest rates using the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) ranging from 0.27% to 0.91% over the service period; expected volatilities ranging from 30% to 63%; expected dividend yields ranging from 0.0% to 3.1%; and correlation factors ranging from (84%) to 95%. The expected volatilities, expected dividends and correlation factors were developed using historical data.

A methodology similar to that employed for the 2013 RSUs was used to determine the fair value for the 2012 RSUs. The inputs used in the probabilistic model for the Company and the peer companies were: average closing stock prices during January 2012; risk-free interest rates using the LIBOR ranging from 0.15% to 0.72% over the service period; expected volatilities ranging from 33% to 74%; expected dividend yields ranging from 0.0% to 2.5%; and correlation factors ranging from (67%) to 94%. The expected volatilities, expected dividends and correlation factors were developed using historical data.

All RSUs awarded are subject to forfeiture until vested and cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the restricted period. Dividend equivalents are earned at the same rate as dividends paid on our common stock after achieving the specified performance requirement for that component of the RSUs.

All of the outstanding RSUs are subject to the satisfaction of service conditions and a portion of the outstanding RSUs are also subject to pre-defined performance measurements. The RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2014 potentially eligible to vest are listed in the table below:

The grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $19.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The fair value of RSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there was no vesting of RSUs.

Awards Based on Common Stock. A grant and issuance of 42,547 shares of common stock was made in March 2014 to the CEO pursuant to the terms of his 2013 annual incentive compensation award. The number of shares was determined after deductions for withholding and payroll taxes and the shares were valued at the Company’s closing price as of the date of grant.

Share-Based Compensation. A summary of incentive compensation expense under share-based payment arrangements and the related tax benefit is as follows (in thousands):

Unrecognized Share-Based Compensation. As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to our awards of Restricted Shares, RSUs and common stock was $0.7 million, $23.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense will be recognized through April 2017 for Restricted Shares, November 2016 for RSUs and February 2015 for awards based on common shares.

Cash-Based Incentive Compensation. As defined by the Plan, annual incentive awards may be granted to eligible employees and payable in cash. (In the case of the award to the CEO, the awards for 2014 and 2013 are paid in shares of common stock as described above.) These awards are performance-based awards consisting of one or more business criteria or individual performance criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria. Generally, the performance period is the calendar year and determination and payment is made in cash in the first quarter of the following year.

Income tax expense of $5.3 million and $11.9 million was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 34.9% and 36.2%, respectively. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of adjustments to a revised full-year forecasted rate. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state income taxes and other permanent items. Income tax expense of $12.4 million and $27.3 million was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 35.7% and 35.8%, respectively, and differed from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state income taxes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $3.0 million of refunds. During 2013, we received refunds of $59.1 million, of which $9.5 million of these refunds have been accounted for as unrecognized tax benefits. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest expense related to our unrecognized tax benefit. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a valuation allowance related to state net operating losses. The realization of these assets depends on recognition of sufficient future taxable income in specific tax jurisdictions in which those temporary differences or net operating losses are deductible. The tax years from 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by the tax jurisdictions to which we are subject.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid regular cash dividends per common share of $0.20 and $0.17, respectively. On August 6, 2014, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on September 12, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 22, 2014.

Notice of Suspension and Debarment. In November 2013, W&T Offshore, Inc., the Parent Company, received a Notice of Suspension and Proposed Debarment and a Notice of Clean Water Act Listing from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”). The Notices were directed to only the Parent Company and do not name or apply to our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The first Notice suspended the Parent Company and proposed a three year debarment from participation in future federal contracts, including future federal oil and gas leases, and assistance activities and renders the Parent Company ineligible to receive any federal contracts or approved subcontracts or to act as an agent or representative on behalf of another in such transaction, or receive certain federal benefits. The second Notice provided a narrower prohibition on federal contracts or benefits for the Parent Company. The Notices stemmed from the Parent Company’s previously disclosed plea agreement and corporate conviction on two criminal counts as described in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2013.

W&T OFFSHORE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Unaudited)

The Notices prevented the Parent Company from obtaining federal oil and gas leases, whether at a future lease sale or an existing lease by assignment. The Notices did not affect current or future drilling or production operations of the existing lease ownership of the Parent Company.

During the third quarter of 2014, the EPA Suspension and Debarment Official removed the suspension and proposed debarment and reinstated the Parent Company from the prohibition in the second Notice after the Parent Company filed submissions to contest the limitations in both Notices and to demonstrate that it corrected the violations and is a responsible operator. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, regarding the lifting the suspension and proposed debarment received from the EPA on August 5, 2014.

Waiver concerning certain supplement bonding requirements from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”). In November and December 2013, W&T Offshore, Inc. received letters from the BOEM claiming that it no longer qualified for a waiver of certain supplemental bonding requirements for potential offshore decommissioning, plugging, and abandonment liabilities. These letters pertain to the Parent Company’s prior supplemental bonding waiver. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy VI, is not exempt from supplemental bonding under BOEM’s procedures and therefore such wholly-owned subsidiary provides supplemental bonding for its plugging and abandonment liabilities. The supplemental bonding requirements are separate and distinct from the suspension and debarment issue described above. The letters notified the Parent Company that it must provide supplemental bonding on certain of its offshore leases, rights of way and rights of use and easement in the Gulf of Mexico.

In response, in January 2014, the Company filed a Petition for Stay Pending Appeal and Request for Interim Relief with the U.S. Department of Interior's Board of Land Appeals ("IBLA"). In addition, we provided additional information to the BOEM and had numerous discussions with the BOEM staff. On May 8, 2014, an order was issued by the IBLA in which it set aside the November 2013 BOEM order and remanded the case to the BOEM for its consideration. On May 16, 2014, the Parent Company was informed by the BOEM that under applicable federal regulations it now qualifies for a waiver of certain supplemental bonding requirements for potential offshore decommissioning liabilities (including plugging and abandonment).

Notification by ONRR of fine for non-compliance. In December 2013 and January 2014, we were notified by the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (“ONRR”) of an underpayment of royalties on certain Federal offshore oil and gas leases that cumulatively approximated $30,000 over several years, which represents 0.0045% of royalty payments paid by us during the same period of the underpayment. In March 2014, we received notice from the ONRR of a statutory fine of $2.3 million relative to such underpayment. We believe the fine is excessive and extreme considering the circumstances and in relation to the amount of underpayment. On April 23, 2014, we filed a request for a hearing on the record and a general denial of ONRR’s allegations contained in the notice. We intend to contest the fine to the fullest extent possible. The ultimate resolution may result in a waiver of the fine, a reduction of the fine, or payment of the full amount plus interest covering several years. As no amount has been determined as more likely than any other within the range of possible resolutions, no amount has been accrued as of June 30, 2014 per authoritative guidance. However, we cannot state with certainty that our estimate of the exposure is accurate concerning this matter.

Insurance Claims. During the fourth quarter of 2012, underwriters of W&T’s excess liability policies (“Excess Policies”) (Indemnity Insurance Company of North America, New York Marine & General Insurance Company, Navigators Insurance Company, XL Specialty Insurance Company and Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.) filed declaratory judgment actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a determination that our Excess Policies do not cover removal-of-wreck and debris claims arising from Hurricane Ike to the extent we have first exhausted the limits of our Energy Package (defined as certain insurance policies relating to our oil and gas properties which includes named windstorm coverage) with only removal-of-wreck and debris claims. The court consolidated the various suits filed by the underwriters. In January 2013, we filed a motion for summary judgment seeking the court’s determination that such Excess Policies do not require us to exhaust the limits of our Energy Package policies with only removal-of-wreck and debris claims. In July 2013, the District Court ruled in favor of the underwriters, adopting their position that the Excess Policies cover removal-of-wreck and debris claims only to the extent the limits of our Energy Package policies have been exhausted with removal-of-wreck and debris claims. We appealed the decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and, in June 2014, the Court reversed the District Court’s ruling and ruled in our favor. The underwriters filed three separate briefs requesting a rehearing or a certification to the Texas Supreme Court, all of which the Court denied. As the limits of the Energy Package have been exhausted, we have filed and anticipate filing claims of up to approximately $46.3 million under the Excess Policies and ultimately expect to receive recovery of claims. Removal-of-wreck costs are recorded in Oil and natural gas properties and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recoveries from claims made on these Excess Policies will be recorded as reductions in this line item, which will reduce our future DD&A rate.

Royalties. In 2009, the Company recognized $5.3 million in allowable reductions of cash payments for royalties owed to the ONRR for transportation of their deepwater production through our subsea pipeline systems. In 2010, the ONRR audited the calculations and support related to this usage fee, and in the third quarter of 2010, we were notified that the ONRR had disallowed approximately $4.7 million of the reductions taken. We recorded a reduction to other revenue of $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 to reflect this disallowance; however, we disagree with the position taken by the ONRR and we are pursuing our claim to resolve the matter.

Other Claims. We are a party to various pending or threatened claims and complaints seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations and other matters in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, claims or contingencies may arise related to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of properties or related to matters occurring subsequent to our sale of properties. In certain cases, we have indemnified the sellers of properties we have acquired, and in other cases, we have indemnified the buyers of properties we have sold. We are also subject to federal and state administrative proceedings conducted in the ordinary course of business. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and federal or state administrative proceedings and the effect such an outcome may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Contingent Liability Recorded. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, $0.4 million and $0.3 million of expenses recognized related to claims, complaints and fines. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, expenses related to claims, complaints and fines were less than $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have recorded $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which are included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the loss contingencies matters in the normal course of business.

On August 5, 2014, the Parent Company received notice that the EPA lifted the suspension and proposed debarment, and removed the statutory disqualification, previously imposed by the EPA. This action is subject to the condition that the Parent Company continue to comply with the conditions of its existing probation resulting from environmental violations relating to our Ewing Banks 910 platform in the Gulf of Mexico, as described in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2013. The EPA’s action allows full participation by the Parent Company in future federal contracts, including future federal oil and gas leases, assistance activities and federal oil and gas leasing activities.

Our payment obligations under the 8.50% Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement (see Note 5) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including W&T Energy VI, LLC and W&T Energy VII, LLC (together, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). W&T Energy VII, LLC does not currently have any active operations or contain any assets. Guarantees of the 8.50% Senior Notes will be released under certain circumstances, including:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor Subsidiary (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (as such term is defined in the indenture governing the 8.50% Senior Notes) of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of the capital stock of such Guarantor Subsidiary to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture and the Guarantor Subsidiary ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company as a result of such sales or disposition;

(3) if such Guarantor Subsidiary is a Restricted Subsidiary and the Company designates such Guarantor Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

(4) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance (as such terms are defined in the indenture) or upon satisfaction and discharge of the indenture;

(5) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor Subsidiary, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing; or

(6) at such time as such Guarantor Subsidiary is no longer required to be a Guarantor Subsidiary of the 8.50% Senior Notes as described in the indenture, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing.

The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, together with consolidating adjustments necessary to present the Company’s results on a consolidated basis. Transfers of property, including related ARO, were made from the Parent Company to the Guarantor Subsidiaries to assist the Parent Company to continue to qualify for a waiver of certain supplemental bonding requirements from the BOEM. See Note 11 for additional information. As these transfers were transactions between entities under common control, the prior period financial information has been retrospectively adjusted for comparability purposes, as prescribed under authoritative guidance. These adjustments had no impact on the consolidated results for the current or prior periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the “Exchange Act”), which involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, such as those statements that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Known material risks that may affect our financial condition and results of operations are discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, and market risks are discussed in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and may be discussed or updated from time to time in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation, nor do we intend, to update these forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “W&T,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to W&T Offshore, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and references to “Parent Company” are solely to W&T Offshore, Inc.

We are an independent oil and natural gas producer with operations offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the Permian Basin of West Texas. We have grown through acquisitions, exploration and development and currently hold working interests in approximately 66 producing offshore fields in federal and state waters (62 producing and four fields capable of producing). We currently have under lease approximately 1.2 million gross acres, including approximately 0.6 million gross acres on the Gulf of Mexico Shelf, approximately 0.6 million gross acres in the deepwater and approximately 50,000 gross acres onshore in Texas. A substantial majority of our daily production is derived from wells we operate offshore. Our interest in fields, leases, structures and equipment are primarily owned by the Parent Company, W&T Offshore, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, W&T Energy VI, LLC. In managing our business, we are concerned primarily with maximizing return on shareholders’ equity. To accomplish this primary goal, we focus on profitably increasing production and finding oil and gas reserves at a favorable cost. We strive to grow our reserves and production through acquisitions and our drilling programs. We have focused on acquiring properties where we can develop an inventory of drilling prospects that will enable us to continue to add reserves post-acquisition.

Our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations are significantly affected by the volume of our oil, NGLs and natural gas production and the prices that we receive for such production. Our production volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were comprised of 41.0% oil and condensate, 11.8% NGLs and 47.2% natural gas, determined using the energy equivalency ratio of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas to one barrel (“Bbl”) of crude oil, condensate or NGLs. The conversion ratio does not assume price equivalency, and the price per one barrel oil equivalent (“Boe”) for oil, NGLs and natural gas may differ significantly. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues from the sale of oil and NGLs made up 76.7% of our total revenues compared to 80.9% in the same period of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our combined total production of oil, condensate, NGLs and natural gas was 1.5% higher on a Boe basis than during the same period in 2013. Over that same time frame, our total revenues were 4.6% higher, driven primarily by higher oil production and higher natural gas prices, partially offset by lower oil prices. See sections Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013; and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 for additional information on our revenues and production.

In May 2014, we acquired from Woodside certain oil and natural gas property interests in the Gulf of Mexico. The Woodside Properties consisted of a 20% non-operated working interest in the producing Neptune field (deepwater Atwater Valley blocks 574, 575 and 618), along with an interest in associated production facilities and various interests in 24 other deepwater blocks in the Gulf of Mexico. Operating results for the Woodside Properties are included in our results since the closing date of May 20, 2014. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 do not include the Woodside Properties’ operations as this period precedes the acquisition date. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

In November and December 2013, we acquired from Callon certain oil and gas leasehold interests in the Gulf of Mexico. The Callon Properties consist of a 15% working interest in the Medusa field (deepwater Mississippi Canyon blocks 582 and 583), interest in associated production facilities and various interests in other non-operated fields. The operating results of the Callon Properties are included in our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 do not include the Callon Properties’ operations as this period precedes the acquisition date. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

Our operating results are strongly influenced by the price of the commodities that we produce and sell. The price of those commodities is affected by both domestic and international factors, including domestic production, and the ability of the industry to get production to market. The infrastructure to transport crude oil within the United States has seen a major change over the past few years. A number of pipelines have been built and completed, reversed flowed, or expanded to move crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma (a major crude oil storage hub) primarily to the U.S. Gulf Coast but also to the Midwest as well. Transportation capacity has also been added in major producing regions like the Permian Basin to move crude oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast rather than to Cushing. Both of these events have helped relieve the excess crude oil that built up in Cushing (inventories have decreased from a high of over 50 million barrels to a low of 20 million barrels over the last year), which in turn allowed WTI pricing to increase relative to Brent up to the fourth quarter of 2013. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and continuing during the first half of 2014, the premiums for the Gulf of Mexico crude oil have declined as the crude being moved to the U.S. Gulf Coast increased and imports continued. The structural changes that have occurred as a result of new pipeline and rail infrastructure are expected to impact U.S. Gulf Coast crude oil pricing going forward. During the second quarter of 2014, premiums for Light Louisiana Sweet (“LLS”) and Heavy Louisiana Sweet (“HLS”) relative to WTI reverted to more historical levels and some Gulf Coast crudes traded at a discount to WTI as a result of the pricing competition that is now present on the Gulf Coast. Rail receiving capacity has also been expanding rapidly on the East Coast and to some extent on the U.S. Gulf Coast with more capacity being announced. The average spread between Brent and WTI was approximately 40% lower during the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013 as a result of the increased domestic production and structural changes outlined above.

During the first half of 2014, our average realized oil sales price was very strong by historical standards but was 5.1% lower than that realized in the same period of 2013 even though both benchmark crudes discussed below were higher priced in the 2014 period compared to the 2013 period. WTI increased to $101.05 per barrel from $94.18 per barrel between the first half of 2014 and the first half of 2013. In addition, Brent prices increased to $108.93 per barrel from $107.27 per barrel for this same time frame, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). WTI is frequently used to value domestically produced crude oil, and the majority of our oil production is priced using the spot price for WTI as a base price, then adjusted for the type and quality of crude oil and other factors. Over 85% of our oil is produced from offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and is characterized as LLS, HLS, Poseidon and others. Over the past several years, we had been realizing very strong premiums on our Gulf Coast crudes, but these premiums decreased significantly beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 and continued at lower levels during the first half of 2014. For example, the premiums for LLS and HLS for the first half of 2014 ranged from $4.00 to $10.00 per barrel above WTI compared to $10.00 to $22.00 per barrel for the first half of 2013. More impactful was the change in the pricing of Poseidon crude which traded at a discount to WTI in the first half of 2014 compared to a significant premium in the 2013 period. Permian crudes also have been trading at a discount to WTI and likely will continue to do so until the pipeline and rail capacity that has been announced is constructed and put in to service. In addition, our oil production in West Texas incurs discounts for transportation costs incurred by the purchaser, with larger discounts applied where the oil is trucked due to lack of pipeline access. The above factors caused the decrease of our average realized oil sales price in the first half of 2014 when compared to the first half of 2013.

Oil prices are heavily influenced by world economic and political events, such as political unrest in the Middle East and Ukraine, the threat of hostilities around the world, demand changes in various countries and world economic growth. Thus, crude oil prices will likely continue to be volatile. For the first half of 2014, WTI crude oil prices ranged from $91.00 to $108.00 per barrel and Brent crude oil prices ranged from $103.00 to $115.00 per barrel. The EIA estimates that the average WTI crude spot price was $101.00 per barrel during the first half of 2014 and will be $101.00 per barrel for all of 2014 and $95.00 per barrel in 2015. EIA estimates the average Brent crude oil spot price was $109.00 per barrel during the first half of 2014 and projects the average price to be $109.00 for all of 2014 and $105.00 per barrel in 2015. The EIA projected 2014-2015 prices for both WTI and Brent have been increased from their projections made in April 2014. EIA expects world-wide supply and consumption for oil and other types of liquid fuels to be fairly equal for 2014 and 2015, resulting in minor inventory withdrawals or builds. Production is expected to increase in the 2014-2015 timeframe primarily from the United States and Canada. Consumption is expected to increase in 2014 and 2015 primarily in China and other Asian countries.

Our average realized NGLs sales prices increased 17.6% during the first half of 2014 versus the comparable 2013 period. The two major components of our NGLs are ethane and propane, which typically make up over 70% of a NGL barrel. During the first half of 2014, prices for domestic ethane increased 24% and domestic propane prices increased 33% from the comparable 2013 period. Price changes for other domestic NGLs ranged from a decrease of 7% to an increase of 1%. Colder weather was a major factor in the increase of the price of propane. Other market factors influenced the temporary increase in the price of ethane, as it is not used directly as a heating fuel. However, cold weather drove up the price of natural gas, helping to increase the price of ethane, which is extracted from natural gas. Once the cold weather passed, ethane prices declined to pre-winter pricing but are still above the second quarter of 2013. As long as the price ratio of crude oil to natural gas remains wide (as measured on a six to one energy equivalency), the production of NGLs may continue to be high relative to historical norms and would, in turn, suggest downward price pressure on the price of ethane. Many natural gas processing facilities are re-injecting ethane back into the natural gas stream after processing due to insufficient ethane demand. The re-injection of ethane into the natural gas stream increases natural gas supplies and prevents natural gas prices from rising.

Prices for natural gas in the U.S. improved during the first half of 2014 versus the comparable 2013 period largely due to above-average storage withdrawals in response to the colder winter weather in 2014 and higher industrial demand. The amount of heating degree days for the winter was 13% higher than last year, which was a primary causal factor for the increased demand. Natural gas prices are more affected by domestic issues (as compared to crude oil prices), such as weather (particularly extreme heat or cold), supply, local demand issues, other fuel competition (coal) and domestic economic conditions, and they have historically been subject to substantial fluctuation. During the first half of 2014, the average realized sales price for our natural gas production increased 27.5% from the comparable 2013 period to $4.82 per Mcf. A comparable benchmark is the Henry Hub unweighted average daily posted spot price, which increased 30.1% from the comparable period. Average realized prices decreased in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2014, but were still higher than the second quarter of 2013.

Although the price of natural gas has increased significantly on a percentage basis, it is still weak from an overall economic standpoint and we expect continued weakness in natural gas prices for a number of reasons, including (i) producers continuing to drill in order to secure and to hold large lease positions before expiration, particularly in shale and similar resource plays, (ii) natural gas continuing to be produced as a by-product in conjunction with the high level of oil drilling (as evidenced by the year over year increase in natural gas production despite the decline in the number of rigs drilling for natural gas as explained below), (iii) production efficiency gains being achieved in the shale gas areas resulting from better hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling and production techniques and (iv) re-injecting ethane into the natural gas stream as indicated above, which increases the natural gas supply.

Per EIA, natural gas working inventories at the end of the first half of 2014 were estimated at 1,985 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”), which is 25% below the comparable 2013 period. EIA estimates the Henry Hub natural gas spot price was $4.91 per million British thermal unit (“MMBtu”) in the first half of 2014 and forecasts $4.77 per MMBtu for all of 2014 and $4.50 per MMBtu in 2015. Even with the colder winter, EIA projects U.S. supply to be higher than consumption for both 2014 and 2015.

According to Baker Hughes, the U.S. natural gas rig count was 439 at the beginning of 2013. The natural gas rig count decreased during 2013 to 372 rigs at the end of 2013 and decreased further to 311 at the end of June 2014, which is a 21 year low. Despite the decline in rigs drilling specifically for natural gas, the U.S. has experienced a year over year increase in natural gas production due to the many factors previously enumerated. Oil wells have increased natural gas production as a by-product, with the number of rigs searching for oil increasing from 1,318 at the beginning of 2013 to 1,378 at the end of 2013, and further increasing to 1,562 as of the end of June 2014. In the Gulf of Mexico, there were 48 rigs (29 oil, 19 natural gas) at the beginning of 2013, 59 rigs (39 oil, 20 natural gas) at the end of 2013 and 53 rigs (41 oil and 12 natural gas) as of the end of June 2014. EIA estimates the percentage of electricity fueled by natural gas to be 25% in the first half of 2014 compared to 26% in the first half of 2013, and forecasts the percentage at 27% for all of 2014 and 28% in 2015, influenced largely by the expected price of natural gas compared to the expected price of coal. Industry sources have indicated that a natural gas price above $4.50 per Mcf for some period of time will probably cause even more power producers to switch back to coal from natural gas, which in effect creates limits to how far natural gas prices can rise until such time as demand for natural gas increases from other sources. The demand for natural gas is expected to continue to increase as the announced petrochemical facilities are constructed and power producers convert to consuming natural gas to reduce emissions to ever tighter emission regulations and standards. Several companies are planning to build liquefaction capacity to export liquefied natural gas due to significantly higher natural gas prices in Europe and Asia with one such plant having been announced to come online in 2015.

Should prices decline for oil, NGLs and natural gas in the future, it would negatively impact our future revenues, earnings and liquidity, and could result in ceiling test write-downs of the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties, reductions in proved reserves, issues with financial ratio compliance, and a reduction of the borrowing base associated with our Credit Agreement, depending on the severity of such declines. If any of these events were to occur and were significant, it may limit the willingness of financial institutions and investors to provide capital to us and others in the oil and natural gas industry.

As reported and discussed in more detail in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q, W&T Offshore, Inc., the Parent Company, received a Notice of Suspension and Proposed Debarment and a Notice of Clean Water Act Listing from the EPA. The Notices applied to the Parent Company but were not directed to our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, under the current scope of the Notices, the drilling and leasing operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy VI, had not been materially impacted by the debarment and suspension, nor was the Parent Company’s drilling, exploration and production operations impacted on its existing Federal leases. On August 5, 2014, the EPA lifted the suspension and proposed debarment, which is discussed in more detail in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 12 – Subsequent Events, of this Form 10-Q.

Also as reported and discussed in more detail in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q, we received notice in May 2014 from the BOEM that reinstitutes the Parent Company’s eligibility for a waiver of certain supplemental bonding for potential offshore decommissioning, plugging and abandonment liabilities. The notice applies to the Parent Company only. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy VI, continues to require supplemental bonding for potential offshore decommissioning, plugging and abandonment liabilities.

As described in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, of this Form 10-Q, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we identified that we had been receiving an erroneous conversion factor from a third party that had the effect of understating natural gas production in prior periods. The amounts included in the adjustment recognized in the fourth quarter 2013 period which relate to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were: an increase in natural gas production volumes of 254 MMcf and 518 MMcf, respectively (with no corresponding increase in revenue); an increase in DD&A expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively; and a decrease in net income of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The additional volumes would have revised average realized prices to $56.64 per Boe from the reported $57.22 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Many changes in laws, regulations, guidance, interpretations and policy continue to be proposed and issued in our industry. The process for obtaining offshore drilling permits, especially deepwater drilling permits, has expanded and lengthened in the past few years. The most significant regulation changes in recent years are regulations related to potential environmental impacts, spill response documentation, compliance reviews, operator practices related to safety and implementing a safety and environmental management system. The new regulations and increased review process increases the time to obtain drilling permits and increases the cost of operations. Also, the regulations have changed related to plugging and abandonment of offshore wells and related infrastructure considerably, driving up both the time and cost to perform the work. As these new regulations and guidance continue to evolve, we cannot estimate the cost and impact to our business at this time.

The Fifth Circuit reversed a lower court’s ruling that the insurance underwriters did not have to reimburse us our costs for removal of wreck related to damages we incurred during Hurricane Ike. As the limits of the Energy Package have been exhausted, we have filed or anticipate filing claims of up to approximately $46.3 million under the Excess Policies and ultimately expect to receive recovery of claims. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenues. Total revenues increased $27.6 million to $263.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. Oil revenues increased $16.7 million, or 9.9%, NGLs revenues increased $4.8 million, or 30.2%, natural gas revenues increased $6.1 million, or 12.2%, and other revenues were flat. The oil revenue increase was attributable to a 12.0% increase in sales volumes, partially offset by a 1.8% decrease in the average realized sales price to $99.92 per barrel for the second quarter of 2014 from $101.78 per barrel for the prior year period. The NGLs revenue increase was attributable to a 24.3% increase in the average realized sales price to $39.98 per barrel for the second quarter of 2014 from $32.17 per barrel for the prior year period and from an increase of 4.7% in sales volumes from the comparable period. The increase in natural gas revenue resulted from a 9.5% increase in the average realized natural gas sales price to $4.62 per Mcf in the second quarter of 2014 from $4.22 per Mcf for the prior year period and from an increase of 2.6% in sales volumes from the comparable period. We experienced increases in production from the new A-5 well at Mississippi Canyon 243 (Matterhorn), the A-14 well at Ship Shoal 349 (Mahogany), the acquisition of the Callon Properties and the acquisition of the Woodside Properties. Production was negatively impacted for all commodities from natural production declines, production deferrals affecting various fields and the divestitures of certain fields in 2013. Production deferrals were attributable to third-party pipeline outages, platform maintenance, and various operational issues. We estimate production deferrals were 0.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”) during the second quarter of 2014. Specifically, production at Mississippi Canyon 506 (Wrigley) continues to be deferred as a result of maintenance at Shell’s Cognac platform and comprised approximately 30% of the deferred production. Production from selected wells at Ship Shoal 349 (Mahogany) was deferred primarily due to rig moves and well work. The balance of the deferred production occurred at multiple locations. During the second quarter of 2013, we experienced production deferrals of 0.5 MMBoe, which included the continued pipeline outage at Mississippi Canyon 506 (Wrigley).

Revenues from oil and liquids as a percent of our total revenues were 78.3% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 78.4% for the comparable 2013 period. Our average realized NGLs sales price as a percent of our average realized oil sales price increased to 40.0% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 31.6% for the comparable 2013 period.

Lease operating expenses. Lease operating expenses, which includes base lease operating expenses, insurance premiums, workovers and maintenance on our facilities, and hurricane related expenses and insurance reimbursements, decreased $6.5 million to $61.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expenses decreased to $14.05 per Boe during the second quarter of 2014 compared to $16.56 per Boe during the comparable 2013 period. On a component basis, workovers decreased $16.2 million and insurance premiums decreased $1.2 million. The decrease in workover costs was primarily due to a rig workover at Main Pass 69 in the second quarter of 2013. There were no costs incurred of this nature during the second quarter of 2014. Partially offsetting the decrease in workover costs were increases in base lease operating expenses of $9.7 million and facilities maintenance of $1.2 million. Base lease operating expenses were higher due to more downhole well work in our West Texas onshore operations, higher expenses offshore and increased contract labor.

Production taxes. Production taxes increased $0.1 million to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period primarily due to onshore activities and are currently not a large component of our operating costs. Most of our production is from federal waters where no production taxes are imposed, whereas onshore operations are subject to production taxes.

Gathering and transportation costs. Gathering and transportation costs decreased $0.6 million to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. DD&A, including accretion for ARO, increased to $29.18 per Boe for the second quarter of 2014 from $24.23 per Boe in the prior year period. On a nominal basis, DD&A increased to $128.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $99.9 million in the prior year period. DD&A on a per Boe basis and nominal basis increased in part due to increases in the full cost pool from capital expenditures and estimated future development costs. The focus on expanding our deepwater exploration and development necessarily increases costs before increasing proved reserves, leading to an increase in the rate.

General and administrative expenses. G&A decreased to $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $19.9 million for the prior year period primarily due to decreases in surety bond fees from timing of payments and partially offset by increases in share-based compensation. G&A on a per Boe basis was $4.48 per Boe for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.82 per Boe for the prior year period.

Derivative (gain) loss. For the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, our derivative positions resulted in a net loss of $13.1 million and a net gain of $12.8 million, respectively, and relate to the change in the fair value of our crude oil commodity derivatives as a result of changes in crude oil prices. Although the open contracts relate to production for future periods, changes in the fair value for all open contracts are recorded at the end of the respective reporting period. For the second quarter of 2014, the net loss was comprised of a $9.7 million realized loss and a $3.4 million unrealized loss. For the second quarter of 2013, the net gain consisted of a realized gain of $1.9 million and an unrealized gain of $10.9 million. For additional information about our derivatives, refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 4 – Derivative Financial Instruments, of this Form 10-Q.

Interest expense. Interest expense incurred was essentially flat at $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013. The aggregate principal amount of our 8.50% Senior Notes outstanding was $900.0 million in both the second quarter of 2014 and 2013. During the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of interest was capitalized to unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. The decrease is primarily attributable to reclassifying certain unevaluated properties to the full cost pool during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $12.4 million for the same period of 2013 with the decrease primarily attributable to lower pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 34.9% and differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of adjustments to a revised full-year forecasted rate. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 35.7% and differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of state income taxes.

Revenues. Total revenues increased $22.9 million to $517.5 million for the first half of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. Oil revenues decreased $10.1 million, or 2.8%, NGLs revenues increased $6.5 million, or 18.9%, natural gas revenues increased $26.5 million, or 28.5%, and other revenues were flat. The oil revenue decrease was attributable to a 5.1% decrease in the average realized sales price to $99.26 per barrel for the first half of 2014 from $104.61 per barrel for the prior year period, partially offset by a 2.5% increase in sales volumes. The NGLs revenue increase was attributable to a 17.6% increase in the average realized sales price to $39.11 per barrel for the first half of 2014 from $33.26 per barrel for the prior year period and from an increase of 1.2% in sales volumes from the comparable period. The increase in natural gas revenue resulted from a 27.5% increase in the average realized natural gas sales price to $4.82 per Mcf in the first half of 2014 from $3.78 per Mcf for the prior year period and from an increase of 0.8% in sales volumes from the comparable period. We experienced increases in production from the new A-5 well at Mississippi Canyon 243 (Matterhorn), the A-14 well at Ship Shoal 349 (Mahogany) and the acquisition of the Callon Properties and the acquisition of the Woodside Properties. Production was negatively impacted for all commodities from natural production declines, production deferrals affecting various fields and the divestitures of certain fields in 2013. The production deferrals were attributable to third-party pipeline outages, platform maintenance, and various operational issues. We estimate production deferrals were 1.2 MMBoe during the first half of 2014. Specifically, production at Mississippi Canyon 506 (Wrigley) continues to be deferred as a result of maintenance at Shell’s Cognac platform and comprised approximately 28% of the deferred production. Production from selected wells at Ship Shoal 349 (Mahogany) was deferred due to closure of a pipeline, a rig move and well work. In addition, weather was a contributing factor in the first quarter of 2014 for production declines at West Texas and at selected offshore fields. The balance of the deferred production occurred at multiple locations. During the first half of 2013, we experienced production deferrals of 0.8 MMBoe, which included the continued pipeline outage at Mississippi Canyon 506 (Wrigley).

Revenues from oil and liquids as a percent of our total revenues were 76.7% for the first half of 2014 compared to 80.9% for the comparable 2013 period. Our average realized NGLs sales price as a percent of our average realized oil sales price increased to 39.4% for the first half of 2014 compared to 31.8% for the comparable 2013 period.

Lease operating expenses. Lease operating expenses, which includes base lease operating expenses, insurance premiums, workovers and maintenance on our facilities, and hurricane related expenses and insurance reimbursements, decreased $10.2 million to $117.4 million in the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year period. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expenses decreased to $13.41 per Boe during the first half of 2014 compared to $14.80 per Boe during the comparable 2013 period. On a component basis, workovers decreased $15.9 million, insurance premiums decreased $3.3 million and hurricane related expenses and insurance reimbursements decreased by $0.8 million. The decrease in workover costs was primarily due to a rig workover at Main Pass 69 in the first half of 2013. There were no costs incurred of this nature during the first half of 2014. Partially offsetting the decrease in workover costs were increases in base lease operating expenses of $9.3 million and facilities maintenance of $0.5 million. Base lease operating expenses were higher due to more downhole well work in our West Texas onshore operations, higher expenses offshore and increased contract labor.

Production taxes. Production taxes increased $0.3 million to $3.8 million in the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year period primarily due to onshore activities and are currently not a large component of our operating costs. Most of our production is from federal waters where no production taxes are imposed, whereas onshore operations are subject to production taxes.

Gathering and transportation costs. Gathering and transportation costs increased $0.3 million to $9.3 million for the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year period primarily due to escalation in third-party transportation fees.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. DD&A, including accretion for ARO, increased to $28.73 per Boe for the first half of 2014 from $24.22 per Boe in the prior year period. On a nominal basis, DD&A increased to $251.5 million for the first half of 2014 from $208.8 million in the prior year period. DD&A on a per Boe basis and nominal basis increased in part due to increases in the full cost pool from capital expenditures and estimated future development costs. The focus on expanding our deepwater exploration and development necessarily increases costs before increasing proved reserves, leading to an increase in the rate.

General and administrative expenses. G&A increased to $43.3 million for the first half of 2014 from $41.0 million for the prior year period primarily due to increases in surety bond fees, contract labor and professional fees and compensation costs. G&A on a per Boe basis was $4.94 per Boe for the first half of 2014, compared to $4.75 per Boe for the prior year period.

Derivative (gain) loss. For the first half of 2014 and 2013, our derivative positions resulted in a net loss of $20.6 million and a net gain of $9.5 million, respectively, and relate to the change in the fair value of our crude oil commodity derivatives as a result of changes in crude oil prices. Although the open contracts relate to production for future periods, changes in the fair value for all open contracts are recorded at the end of the respective reporting period. For the first half of 2014, the net loss was comprised of a $14.3 million realized loss and a $6.3 million unrealized loss. For the first half of 2013, the net gain consisted of a realized loss of $2.3 million and an unrealized gain of $11.8 million. For additional information about our derivatives, refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 4 – Derivative Financial Instruments, of this Form 10-Q.

Interest expense. Interest expense incurred increased slightly by $0.1 million to $42.9 million for the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year period. The aggregate principal amount of our 8.50% Senior Notes outstanding was $900.0 million in both the first half of 2014 and 2013. During the first half of 2014 and 2013, $4.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of interest was capitalized to unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. The decrease is primarily attributable to reclassifying certain unevaluated properties to the full cost pool during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $11.9 million for the first half of 2014 compared to $27.3 million for the same period of 2013 with the decrease primarily attributable to lower pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate for the first half of 2014 was 36.2% and differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of state income taxes and other permanent items. Our effective tax rate for the first half of 2013 was 35.8% and differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily as a result of state income taxes.

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures and strategic property acquisitions to allow us to replace our oil and natural gas reserves, repay outstanding borrowings and make related interest payments and pay dividends. We have funded such activities with cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities, sales of property, securities offerings and bank borrowings. These sources of liquidity have historically been sufficient to fund our ongoing cash requirements.

Cash flow and working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $271.1 million compared to $297.4 million for the comparable 2013 period. Cash flows from operating activities, before changes in working capital and ARO settlements, were $298.8 million in the first six months of 2014, an increase of $23.2 million compared to the $275.6 million generated over the same time period in 2013 driven by higher revenues and lower operating expenses. Our combined average realized sales price per Boe was 3.1% higher than in the comparable 2013 period due to higher average realized natural gas and NGL’s sales prices. Our combined production of oil, NGLs and natural gas on a Boe basis during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 1.5% from the comparable 2013 period. The change in working capital and ARO settlements between periods was a usage of $49.5 million. The change in working capital was primarily due to changes in receivables, where at the beginning of 2013, receivable balances were higher than historical trends and led to higher than normal collections in the first half of 2013. For 2014, receivable balances from the beginning of the year through the first half of 2014 have been fairly constant. An additional item for working capital changes was the receipt of funds in the first half of 2014 related to an arrangement involving escrowed deposits. Escrowed deposits are included within Prepaid and Other Assets on the statement of cash flows.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $267.8 million and $300.2 million, respectively, which represents our investments in both offshore and onshore oil and gas properties. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in both onshore and offshore drilling and development activities, partially offset by the purchase of the Woodside Properties in 2014. There were no acquisitions or divestitures of significance completed in the comparable 2013 period.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The net cash provided during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to net borrowings on our revolving bank credit facility of $20.0 million and partially offset by dividend payments of $15.1 million. The purchase of the Woodside properties was partially funded through borrowings on the revolving bank credit facility. The net cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was essentially flat with dividend payments offset by $13.0 million of net borrowings on our revolving bank credit facility.

At June 30, 2014, we had a cash balance of $23.8 million and $439.4 million of undrawn capacity available under the revolving bank credit facility, which had a borrowing base of $750.0 million.

Credit Agreement and long-term debt. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $310.0 million and $290.0 million, respectively, were outstanding under our revolving bank credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the outstanding borrowings on our revolving bank credit facility ranged from $242.0 million to $334.0 million. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $900.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 8.50% Senior Notes was outstanding. We believe that cash provided by operations, borrowings available under our revolving bank credit facility and other external sources of liquidity should be sufficient to fund our ongoing cash requirements, but additional financing could be required if we are successful in finding suitable acquisitions and for future development activities. For additional information about our long-term debt, refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 5 – Long-Term Debt, of this Form 10-Q.

Availability under our revolving bank credit facility is subject to a semi-annual redetermination of our borrowing base that occurs in the spring and fall of each year and is calculated by our lenders based on their evaluation of our proved reserves and their own internal criteria. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, including a minimum current ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants of the Credit Agreement and all applicable covenants related to the 8.50% Senior Notes as of June 30, 2014.

Derivatives. From time to time, we use various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk from sales of our oil and natural gas and interest rate risk from floating interest rates on our revolving bank credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, our derivative instruments outstanding consisted of oil contracts relating to approximately 1.7 million barrels (“MMBbls”) of our anticipated production for the balance of 2014. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 4 – Derivative Financial Instruments, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Insurance Claims and Insurance Coverage. During 2008, Hurricane Ike caused substantial property damage. Substantially all the costs related to Hurricane Ike have been incurred and we submitted claims under our insurance policies effective at that time, of which $151.2 million has been collected through June 30, 2014. We received a ruling in our favor from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit concerning the underwriters’ interpretation of our Excess Policies related to the coverage of removal-of-wreck costs incurred due to Hurricane Ike. The underwriters filed three separate briefs requesting a rehearing or a certification to the Texas Supreme Court, all of which the Court denied. As the limits of the Energy Package have been exhausted, we have filed and anticipate filing claims of up to approximately $46.3 million under the Excess Policies and ultimately expect to receive recovery of claims. Removal-of-wreck costs and insurance recoveries related to removal-of-wreck costs are recorded in Oil and natural gas properties and equipment on the Balance Sheets. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

We currently carry multiple layers of insurance coverage in our Energy Package covering our operating activities, with higher limits of coverage for higher valued properties and wells. The current policy limits for well control range from $30.0 million to $500.0 million depending on the risk profile and contractual requirements. We have $75.0 million of named windstorm (hurricane and tropical storm) coverage for certain of our offshore properties and wells and an additional $75.0 million for certain properties and wells at our higher value fields. We have $50.0 million of named windstorm coverage for our lower value offshore properties for the cost of removal in excess of scheduled ARO amounts. The well control, named windstorm and physical damage coverage is effective until June 1, 2015. A per-occurrence retention amount of $30.0 million for named windstorm events must be satisfied by us before our insurers will indemnify us for losses and we co-insure 15% of our named windstorm coverage. We also have other smaller per-occurrence retention amounts for various other events. Coverage for pollution causing a negative environmental impact is provided under the well control and named windstorm sections of the policy.

We estimate that a substantial majority of our estimated future net revenues attributable to our Gulf of Mexico properties are covered under our current insurance policies for named windstorm damage. There are certain other properties we have decided not to have full coverage for named windstorm damage as part of our risk assessment process.

Our general and excess liability policies, which were renewed and are effective until May 1, 2015, provide for $300.0 million of coverage for bodily injury and property damage liability, including coverage for liability claims resulting from seepage, pollution or contamination. With respect to the Oil Spill Financial Responsibility requirement under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, we are required to evidence $150.0 million of financial responsibility to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”). We qualify to self-insure for $54.0 million of this amount and the remaining $96.0 million is covered by insurance.

Although we were able to renew our Energy Package and our general and excess liability policies in the second quarter of 2014 and have not been informed otherwise, in the future, our insurers may not continue to offer this type and level of coverage to us, or our costs may increase substantially as a result of increased premiums and there could be an increased risk of uninsured losses that may have been previously insured, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are also exposed to the possibility that in the future we will be unable to buy insurance at any price or that if we do have claims, the insurers will not pay our claims. However, we are not aware of any financial issues related to any of our insurance underwriters that would affect their ability to pay claims. We do not carry business interruption insurance.

See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q for information related to notifications from the BOEM concerning supplemental bonding requirements

Capital expenditures. The level of our investment in oil and natural gas properties changes from time to time depending on numerous factors, including the prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas, acquisition opportunities, and the results of our exploration and development activities. The following table presents our capital expenditures for exploration, development and other leasehold costs and acquisitions:

The following table presents our exploration and development capital expenditures geographically:

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were financed by cash flow from operating activities, borrowings on our revolving bank credit facility and cash on hand.

Exploration activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, three offshore exploration wells were completed. The Mississippi Canyon 243 (Matterhorn) A-5 side-track well was brought online during the first quarter and averaged over 800 Boe per day net since coming online. The Ship Shoal 349 (Mahogany) A-15 well was brought online during the second quarter and averaged over 900 Boe per day net since coming online. During the first quarter, the completion operations on the Mississippi Canyon 698 (Big Bend) well were finalized with first production expected in the second half of 2015 and is dependent on connection to a host platform. During the first six months of 2014, we completed nine exploration onshore wells, eight of which were vertical wells and one of which was a horizontal well.

Acquisitions and funding. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions and joint venture opportunities during 2014 and beyond should we identify attractive opportunities. For example, in the second quarter, we completed the acquisition of the Woodside Properties and in the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Callon Properties as described in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures, of this Form 10-Q. We are actively evaluating opportunities and seek to complement our drilling and development projects with acquisitions providing acceptable rates of return.

Divestitures. Periodically, we sell properties as part of the management of our property portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, in East Texas at our Star Project, we reassigned approximately 160,000 gross acres back to our original assignor. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we did not have any divestitures. During 2013, we sold our interests in various fields. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Capital Expenditure Budget for 2014. Our total capital expenditure budget for 2014 was increased by $185.0 million to $635.0 million. The increase will be devoted primarily to three additional deepwater wells, one shallow water well, three additional horizontal wells in the Permian Basin and acquisitions completed so far this year. The budget includes 50% for exploration, 37% for development and 13% for other items. Geographically, the budget is split 66% for offshore, 9% for completed offshore acquisitions and 25% for onshore. The budget does not include any potential acquisitions. We will continue to evaluate and bid on acquisition opportunities as they arise. We anticipate funding our 2014 capital budget, any potential acquisitions and other expenditures with cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving bank credit facility, proceeds from divestitures, if any, and by accessing the capital markets to the extent necessary. Our 2014 capital budget is subject to change as conditions warrant.

Income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made no income tax payments and received $3.0 million in refunds. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we made no income tax payments and received $4.9 million of refunds. For the remainder of 2014, we expect a substantial amount of our income tax will be deferred and expect payments, if any, to be primarily related to alternative minimum tax. We have $263.4 million of net operating loss carryforward (tax basis) available to offset future federal taxable income in 2014 and forward. We also have $12.1 million of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards available to be utilized in 2014 and forward.

Dividends. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 10 – Dividends, of this Form 10-Q.

Contractual obligations. Updated information on certain contractual obligations is provided in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 3 – Asset Retirement Obligations and Note 5 – Long-Term Debt, of this Form 10-Q. As of June 30, 2014, drilling rig commitments were approximately $13.4 million compared to $21.5 million as of December 31, 2013. The current drilling rig commitments expire within one year from June 30, 2014. Except for scheduled utilization, other contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014 did not change materially from the disclosures in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Also refer to Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, of this Form 10-Q.

See Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, of this Form 10-Q.

Information about market risks for the six months ended June 30, 2014 did not change materially from the disclosures in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As such, the information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the related disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Commodity Price Risk. Our revenues, profitability and future rate of growth substantially depend upon market prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas, which fluctuate widely. Oil, NGLs and natural gas price declines and volatility could adversely affect our revenues, net cash provided by operating activities and profitability. We currently have open crude oil derivative contracts to manage a portion of our exposure to commodity price risk from sales of oil for the balance of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, these derivative contracts had a notional quantity of 1.7 MMBbls. We do not designate our commodity derivatives as hedging instruments. While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of volatile oil prices, they may also limit future income from favorable price movements. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 4 – Derivative Financial Instruments, of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk. As of June 30, 2014, we had $310.0 million outstanding on our revolving bank credit facility. The revolving bank credit facility has a variable interest rate, which is primarily impacted by the rates for the LIBOR and the margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the amount outstanding. We currently do not have any derivative instruments related to interest rates.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that any material information relating to us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of June 30, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements – Note 11 – Contingencies, of this Form 10-Q for information on various legal matters.

Investors should carefully consider the risk factors included under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, together with all of the other information included in this document, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other public filings, press releases and discussions with our management. Notwithstanding the matters discussed herein, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, on August 7, 2014.
