Forward-Looking Statements

All statements, other than historical financial information, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements that address activities, outcomes and other matters that should or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, production and reserve growth and other plans and objectives for the company’s future operations, are forward-looking statements. Although the company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The company has no obligation and makes no undertaking to publicly updat e or revise any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect the company’s operations, markets, products, services and prices and cause its actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with forward-looking statements, risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to: the timing and extent of changes in market conditions and prices for natural gas and oil (including regional basis differentials); the timing and extent of the company’s success in discovering, developing, producing and estimating reserv es; the economic viability of, and the company’s success in drilling, the company’s large acreage position in the Fayetteville Shale play, overall as well as relative to other productive shale gas plays; the company’s ability to fund the company’s planned capital investments; the company’s ability to determine the most effective and economic fracture stimulation for the Fayetteville Shale formation; the costs and availability of oil field personnel services and drilling supplies, raw materials, and equipment and services, including pressure pumping equipment and crews in the Arkoma Basin; the company’s future property acquisition or divestiture activities; the effects of weather; increased competition; the impact of federal, state and local government regulation; the financial impact of accounting regulations and critical accounting policies; the comparative cost of alternative fuels; conditions in capital markets and changes in interest rates, and any other factors listed in th e reports the company has filed and may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For additional information with respect to certain of these and other factors, see reports filed by the company with the SEC. The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise


The Securities and Exchange Commission has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use the terms “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR,” “probable,” “possible,” and “non-proven” reserves, reserve “potential” or “upside” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s guidelines may prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company.

Fayetteville Shale Play

 

This slide contains a map of Oklahoma, Arkansas and portions of Louisiana and Texas.  A box denotes SWN's Fayetteville Shale position in the Arkoma Basin. The Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth Basin, the Wedington Incongruity as well as the Llano Uplift and Sabine Uplift are also denoted. The Arbuckle and Ouachita mountains are shown as reference points.

 

* Mississippian-age shale, geological equivalent of the Barnett Shale in north Texas.

 

* Within the SWN play area, the shale appears to be laterally extensive across several counties in Arkansas, ranging in thickness from 50 to 550 feet and depths from 1,500 to 6,500 feet.

 

* SWN currently holds approximately 902,000 net acres in the Fayetteville Shale play area (equivalent to approximately 1,400 square miles).

Note that the information contained on this slide constitutes a "Forward-Looking Statement".

(Slide 12)
Fayetteville Shale Focus Area

This slide contains a map of the Fayetteville Shale Focus Area in Arkansas.  Existing pilot areas and portions of the conventional fairway are indicated. 777,000 net acres and 125,000 net acres HBP are outlined on the map. A box denotes Conventional Production (16 MMcf/d). The Scotland Field, Gravel Hill Field, Griffin Mountain Field, Cove Creek Field, New Quitman Field, Chattanooga Test, Ranger Anticline and Moorefield Test are also designated.  The Moorefield Prospective Area is outlined.

* As of September 30, 2007, SWN has drilled and completed 392 wells, of which 290 are horizontal SW/XL wells, in 35 separate pilot areas in 8 counties. We have also produced gas from the deeper Moorefield and Chattanooga Shales and from conventional production in six pilot areas.

 

* We anticipate participating in 400 horizontal wells in 2007, approximately 70% of which we would operate.

 

* Assuming development of 50% of the acreage within the shaded areas at 80-acre spacing and average ultimate production of 1.4 Bcf gross per well, the potential exists for 8,000 horizontal wells and approximately 11 Tcf gross ultimate recovery.

Note: Data as of September 30, 2007.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Net Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities is presented because of its acceptance as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The company has also included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Forecasting changes in operating assets and liabilities would require unreasonable effort, would not be reliable and could be misl eading. Therefore, the reconciliation of the company’s forecasted net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities has assumed no changes in assets and liabilities. The first table below reconciles actual net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities with net cash provided by operating activities as derived from the company's financial information.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Southwestern has included information concerning EBITDA because it is used by certain investors as a measure of the ability of a company to service or incur indebtedness and because it is a financial measure commonly used in the energy industry.  EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of the company's profitability or liquidity. EBITDA as defined above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Net income is a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The table below reconciles historical EBITDA with historical net income.
