NOTE 4 — CONCENTRATIONS:

Sales to Major Customers

Our production is sold on month-to-month contracts at prevailing prices. We obtain credit protections such as parental guarantees from certain of our purchasers. The following table identifies customers from whom we derived 10% or more of our total oil and gas revenue during the years ended:

 

     December 31,  
     2013     2012     2011  

Conoco, Inc.

     (a     13     28

Phillips 66 Company

     35     18     (a

Shell Trading (US) Company

     33     41     46

 

(a) Less than 10 percent.

The maximum amount of credit risk exposure at December 31, 2013 relating to these customers amounted to $74,273.

We believe that the loss of any of these purchasers would not result in a material adverse effect on our ability to market future oil and gas production.

Production and Reserve Volumes- Unaudited

Approximately 16% of our estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 and 49% of our production during 2013 were associated with our Gulf Coast Basin conventional shelf and deep gas properties. Approximately 29% of our estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 and 25% of our production during 2013 were associated with our deep water properties. Approximately 55% of our estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2013 and 26% of our production during 2013 were associated with our Appalachian properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

A substantial portion of our cash balances are not federally insured.
