Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited)
—Oil and Gas Reserve Information—Unaudited
The Company’s net proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2012 have been estimated by independent petroleum engineers in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC using a historical 12-month average pricing assumption.
The estimates of proved oil and gas reserves constitute those quantities of oil, gas,and natural gas liquids, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. However, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in providing the future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The following reserve data represents estimates only and should not be construed as being exact. In addition, the present values should not be construed as the current market value of the Company’s oil and gas properties or the cost that would be incurred to obtain equivalent reserves.
During 2012, the Company’s estimated proved reserves decreased by 14%. This decrease was primarily due to production, the sale of the Company's non-operated Arkansas assets and the significant decrease in the historical 12-month average price per Mcf of natural gas used to calculate estimated proved reserves which was $2.20 per Mcf at December 31, 2012 as compared to $3.34 per Mcf at December 31, 2011. This decrease was partially offset by the success of our Oklahoma,Texas and Gulf Coast drilling programs. In total, the Company added approximately 27 Bcfe of proved reserves in Oklahoma, 9 Bcfe from the La Cantera discovery and 28 Bcfe in the Carthage Field from horizontal drilling in the Cotton Valley during 2012. Overall, the Company had a 98% drilling success rate during 2012 on 107 gross wells drilled.

    
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company’s estimated quantities of net proved and proved developed oil (including condensate), gas and natural gas liquid reserves, all located onshore and offshore the continental United States:

The following tables (amounts in thousands) present the standardized measure of future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves together with changes therein, as defined by ASC Topic 932. Future production and development costs are based on current costs with no escalations. Estimated future cash flows have been discounted to their present values based on a 10% annual discount rate.
