Abraxas Petroleum Corporation
The Bakken Conference & Expo
July 2017
Exhibit 99.1
The information presented herein may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on
reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements include the timing and extent
of changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, availability of capital, the need to develop and replace reserves, environmental risks, competition,
government regulation and the ability of the Company to meet its stated business goals.
Oil and Gas Reserves. The SEC permits oil and natural gas companies, in their SEC filings, to disclose only reserves anticipated to be economically
producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as total
potential, de-risked, and EUR (expected ultimate recovery), that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from using in our SEC filings. These terms
represent our internal estimates of volumes of oil and natural gas that are not proved reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory
drilling or additional drilling or recovery techniques and are not intended to correspond to probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC regulations. By
their nature these estimates are more speculative than proved, probable or possible reserves and subject to greater risk they will not be realized.
Non-GAAP Measures. Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC Regulation G. Investors are urged to
consider closely the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and its subsequently filed
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and the reconciliation to GAAP measures provided in this presentation.
Initial production, or IP, rates, for both our wells and for those wells that are located near our properties, are limited data points in each well’s
productive history. These rates are sometimes actual rates and sometimes extrapolated or normalized rates. As such, the rates for a particular well may
change as additional data becomes available. Peak production rates are not necessarily indicative or predictive of future production rates, expected
ultimate recovery, or EUR, or economic rates of return from such wells and should not be relied upon for such purpose. Equally, the way we calculate and
report peak IP rates and the methodologies employed by others may not be consistent, and thus the values reported may not be directly and
meaningfully comparable. Lateral lengths described are indicative only. Actual completed lateral lengths depend on various considerations such as lease-
line offsets. Standard length laterals, sometimes referred to as 5,000 foot laterals, are laterals with completed length generally between 4,000 feet and
5,500 feet. Mid-length laterals, sometimes referred to as 7,500 foot laterals, are laterals with completed length generally between 6,500 feet and 8,000
feet. Long laterals, sometimes referred to as 10,000 foot laterals, are laterals with completed length generally longer than 8,000 feet.
