Forward Looking Statements
NYSE: HNR

Cautionary
Statements:
Certain
statements
in
this
presentation
are
forward-looking
and
are
based
upon
Harvest’s
current belief as to the outcome and timing of future events. All statements
other than statements of historical facts including
planned
capital
expenditures,
increases
in
oil
and
gas
production,
Harvest’s
outlook
on
oil
and
gas
prices,
estimates of oil and gas reserves, business strategy and other plans, estimates,
projections, and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements herein include Harvest’s concentration of
assets in Venezuela; timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for
oil and gas; political and economic risks associated with international operations; and other risk
factors as described in Harvest’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other
public filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Harvest’s actual results and plans could
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Harvest undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements. Harvest may use certain terms such as
resource base, contingent resources, prospective resources, probable reserves,
possible reserves, non-proved reserves or other descriptions of volumes of
reserves. 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. Investors are urged to consider
closely the disclosure in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other
public filings available from Harvest at 1177 Enclave Parkway, Houston, Texas, 77077
or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Contingent resources are resources that are potentially recoverable but not yet
considered mature enough for commercial
development
due
to
technological
or
business
hurdles.
Prospective
resources
are
those
quantities
of
hydrocarbons which are estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable
from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development
projects. They indicate exploration opportunities and development potential in the
event a discovery is made and should not be construed as contingent resources or
reserves. The contingent and prospective resources included in this
presentation were internally developed by Harvest Natural Resources. |

Exploration EMV
(Based on Mean Resources, $96/BBL WTI and 37 MM shares)
The Expected Monetary Value (EMV) is a function of the dry hole cost of the well, the NPV of
the prospect/lead in the event of discovery and the chance of making a discovery. The value of the assets
presented in this chart is estimated by arithmetically adding the EMV10 of each of the
prospects and leads for which a chance of success is available. Only prospects and leads with positive EMV are
included. The NPV of a discovery has been estimated using the mean prospective resources of
the prospect/lead. When applicable, the estimated value of the contingent resources is also included.
There can be no assurance that the estimates presented or the underlying assumptions will be
realized and that actual results of operations or future events will not be materially different from the
estimates presented. These estimates have been internally developed by Harvest Natural
Resources.
