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, the need to develop and replace reserves, the impact of inclement weather conditions including hurricanes, drilling and operating risks, uncertainties about the estimates of reserves, competition, environmental risks, government regulation and the ability of the company to meet its stated business goals.
