NEWS RELEASE
Exhibit 99.1
Abraxas Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results

SAN ANTONIO (November 6, 2013) – Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ:AXAS) today reported financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Financial and Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
The three months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in:
Production of 440 MBoe (4,781 Boepd)
Revenue of $29.1 million
Adjusted EBITDA(a) of $18.1 million inclusive of Raven Drilling
Adjusted discretionary cash flow(a) of $17.1 million inclusive of Raven Drilling
Net income of $3.2 million, or $0.03 per share
Adjusted net income(a), excluding certain non-cash items and inclusive of Raven Drilling of $8.4 million, or $0.09 per share

(a) 
See reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures below.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $3.2 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.6 million, or $(0.20) per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Adjusted net income, excluding certain non-cash items, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $8.4 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss, excluding certain non-cash items, of $0.5 million or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, adjusted net income (loss) excludes the unrealized loss on derivative contracts of $4.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Also excluded is a full cost impairment on Canadian assets of $0.2 million and $11.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Included in adjusted net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 is the net income from our subsidiary, Raven Drilling, LLC of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Pursuant to SEC regulation S-X, no income is recognized for Raven Drilling, LLC. Contractual drilling services performed in connection with properties in which Abraxas holds an ownership interest cannot be recognized as income, rather it is credited to the full cost pool and recognized through lower amortization as reserves are produced.

Unrealized gains or losses on derivative contracts are based on mark-to-market valuations which are non-cash in nature and may fluctuate drastically from period to period. As commodity prices fluctuate, these derivative contracts are valued against current market prices at the end of each reporting period in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” as amended and interpreted, and require Abraxas to either record an unrealized gain or loss based on the calculated value difference from the previous period-end valuation. For example, NYMEX oil prices on September 30, 2012 were $92.19 per barrel compared to $102.33 on September 30, 2013; therefore, the mark-to-market valuation changed considerably period to period.

Comments
Bob Watson, Abraxas’ President and CEO commented, “Evidence of Abraxas’ transformation into a focused high rate of return E&P is clearly evident in our third quarter numbers, which more than doubled street expectations.   Notably, the company showed a marked improvement in LOE driven by the divestiture of high LOE properties and production from new wells. Heading forward, we expect this expense trend to continue. With our balance sheet in order, we will continue to focus on adding to our already high quality inventory in the Eagle Ford and Bakken while using the drill bit to turn these acreage positions into cash flow."

ABRAXAS PETROLEUM CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To fully assess Abraxas’ operating results, management believes that, although not prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), discretionary cash flow and EBITDA are appropriate measures of Abraxas' ability to satisfy capital expenditure obligations and working capital requirements. Discretionary cash flow and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. Abraxas' discretionary cash flow and EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. As discretionary cash flow and EBITDA exclude some, but not all items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the discretionary cash flow and EBITDA presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP is the most directly comparable measure to discretionary cash flow; therefore, operating income (loss) is utilized as the starting point for the discretionary cash flow reconciliation.
Discretionary cash flow is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, non-cash expenses and impairments, cash portion of other income (expense) less cash interest. Adjusted discretionary cash flow is defined as discretionary cash flow, plus gas derivative monetization and cash flow from Raven Drilling’s operations. Accounting rules do not permit the inclusion of the net income (loss) and other components of Raven Drilling’s operations to be included in our consolidated results of operations and cash flow, instead, the results of Raven Drilling’s operations are credited to the full cost pool. Accordingly, for purposes of Adjusted Discretionary cash flow, Raven Drilling’s cash flow is added back. The following table provides a reconciliation of discretionary cash flow and adjusted discretionary cash flow to operating income (loss) for the periods presented.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, deferred income taxes and other non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA includes all of the components of EBITDA plus Raven Drilling’s EBITDA. Accounting rules do not permit the inclusion of the net income (loss) and other components of Raven Drilling’s operations to be included in our consolidated results of operations, instead, the results of Raven Drilling’s operations are credited to the full cost pool. Accordingly, for purposes of Adjusted EBITDA, Raven Drilling’s EBITDA is added back. Adjusted EBITDA does not include approximately $12.4 million from the monetization of our gas hedges settled in the first quarter 2012, which is allowed in EBITDA for purposes of our credit facility covenants. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss), excluding ceiling test impairment and unrealized changes in derivative contracts and net income (loss) related to Raven Drilling, LLC capitalized to the full cost pool, to net income (loss) for the periods presented. Management believes that net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP is the most directly comparable measure to adjusted net income (loss), excluding certain non-cash items.

NEWS RELEASE
Abraxas Provides Third Quarter 2013 Production, Guidance, Operational and A&D Update

SAN ANTONIO (November 6, 2013) – Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ:AXAS) is pleased to provide a third quarter 2013 production, operational, guidance and divestiture update.

Third Quarter 2013 Production
Abraxas’ production for the third quarter of 2013 averaged 4,781 boepd (2,733 barrels of oil per day, 9,457 mcf of natural gas per day and 472 barrels of NGLs per day) a 16% and 19% increase in production over the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012, respectively. Oil volumes grew 32% and 54% over the second quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2012, respectively.

2013 Guidance
Abraxas recently made several changes to its capital budget announced August 13, 2013.

In the Eagle Ford the company elected to mobilize back to WyCross following the drilling of the Blue Eyes 1H in Atascosa County versus the originally planned mobilization to the Cave Prospect in McMullen County. Abraxas will now drill two wells at WyCross, the Camaro A 2H and Camaro A 5H, before mobilizing the rig at year end to the Cave prospect. The two WyCross wells carry a lower working interest of 25% versus the originally planned 100% working interest well at Cave.

In the Williston Basin, Abraxas elected not to drill the Crusch 2-33 due to overly onerous lease renegotiation terms. The drilling on the Christensen 12-2 was postponed until the second quarter of 2014. Also in the Williston Basin, drilling on the Lillibridge West pad was completed a month ahead of schedule bringing forward originally planned 2014 CAPEX on the company’s 76% working interest Jore Federal East pad into 2013. Furthermore, in order to ensure a safe operating environment, Abraxas elected to shut in the Jore 3H well during the drilling process of the Jore 1H, 2H and 4H. The Jore 3H well produced approximately 123 boepd net to Abraxas before being shut in.

Reflecting these adjustments, Abraxas expects 2014 production to average 4,400-4,500 boepd and is maintaining its previously announced targeted exit rate of 5,300 boepd. Abraxas is also maintaining its previously announced $85 million capital budget.

Abraxas anticipates providing the company’s 2014 production and capital spending budget in early December.

Williston Basin
In McKenzie County, North Dakota, the Lillibridge 5H, 6H, 7H and 8H are currently being fracture stimulated. During the fracture stimulation of the Lillibridge West pad, the Lillibridge East pad wells have been shut in. Post completion, the wells will be immediately turned to sales. On the Jore Federal East pad, surface casing has been set on the Jore 1H, 2H and 4H. The company is currently drilling the intermediate section of the Jore 1H after which the rig will mobilize to drill the intermediate sections of the Jore 2H and 4H. Abraxas owns a working interest of approximately 34% and 76% in the Lillibridge and Jore pads, respectively.

Eagle Ford Shale
In McMullen County, Texas, the Sting Ray A 8H averaged 1,381 boepd (1,281 barrels of oil per day, 604 mcf of natural gas per day) over the well’s first 30 full days of production. The production rates for the well do not include the impact of natural gas liquids or shrinkage at the processing plant and include flared gas. The company is currently rigging up on the 300 foot (40 acre) spaced twin to the Camaro A 1H, the Camaro A 2H. Post the drilling of the Camaro A 2H the company plans to zipper frac the Camaro A 1H

and Camaro A 2H simultaneously. Abraxas owns an 18.75% working interest in the Sting Ray A 8H and a 25% working interest in the Camaro A 1H and Camaro A 2H.

In Atascosa County, Texas, Abraxas recently drilled and cased the Blue Eyes A 1H to 13,285 feet including a 5,000 foot lateral section. The well is currently scheduled to be completed in late November. Abraxas owns a 100% working interest in the Blue Eyes A 1H.

Permian Basin
In Nolan County, Texas, Abraxas successfully completed the Spires Ranch 129 2H. The well has taken longer than anticipated to recover the load water from its stimulation and a thirty day production rate will be provided when available. Abraxas owns a 100% working interest in the Spires Ranch 129 2H.

A&D Update
Abraxas recently monetized the Bakken and Three Forks rights on the company’s Fairview Prospect in Richland County, Montana and McKenzie County, North Dakota for $10.6 million in cash and the reversal of $0.3 million in accrued payables for total proceeds of $10.9 million. The sale consists of approximately 2,563 net acres and does not have any associated production. Abraxas plans on redeploying these proceeds into more core acreage and development in the Bakken and Eagle Ford. 


Bob Watson, President and CEO of Abraxas commented, “The third quarter of 2014 proved exceptional for Abraxas as strong operational execution led to robust absolute production growth.   We look to continue that momentum into the fourth quarter as we bring on another four wells at our Lillibridge pad and additional Eagle Ford wells.   We are quite encouraged by the drilling of the Blue Eyes 1H and the Lillibridge West wells and look forward to announcing the results of these wells towards the end of the year.   Abraxas also continues to evaluate and high grade the company’s portfolio, evidenced by the recent sale of our Fairview Prospect.  We look forward to entering 2013 with an even stronger and more balanced asset base.”


Abraxas Petroleum Corporation is a San Antonio based crude oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations across the Rocky Mountain, Permian Basin and onshore Gulf Coast regions of the United States and in the province of Alberta, Canada.

Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements: Statements in this release looking forward in time involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause Abraxas’ actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance suggested in this release. Such factors may include, but may not be necessarily limited to, changes in the prices received by Abraxas for crude oil and natural gas. In addition, Abraxas’ future crude oil and natural gas production is highly dependent upon Abraxas’ level of success in acquiring or finding additional reserves. Further, Abraxas operates in an industry sector where the value of securities is highly volatile and may be influenced by economic and other factors beyond Abraxas’ control. In the context of forward-looking information provided for in this release, reference is made to the discussion of risk factors detailed in Abraxas’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the past 12 months.
