Possible reservesThose additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.
Probable reservesThose additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.
Proved reservesThose quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geosciencesgeoscience 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 regulationregulations before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether the estimate is a deterministic estimate or probabilistic estimate.methods are used for the estimation.

Proved undeveloped reservesProved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. Undrilled locations are classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time. Estimates for proved undeveloped reserves are not attributable to any acreage for which application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same or analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Item 1Business
General
Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA), a Virginia corporation formed in 1882, is an independent oil and gas company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas in various domestic onshore regions of the United States, including Texas, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi. We operate in and report our financial results and disclosures as one segment. Each of our operating regions has similar economic characteristics and meets the criteria for aggregation.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Penn Virginia,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to Penn Virginia Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Description of Business
Penn Virginia Corporation is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas in various onshore regions of the United States. We were incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1882. Our common stock is publicly traded on the NYSE. Our headquarters and corporate office is located in Radnor, Pennsylvania, and our operations are primarily conducted from our office in Houston, Texas. We also have district operations facilities at various locations in Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi.
We operate in and report our financial results and disclosures as one segment which is the exploration, development and production of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. Each of our operating regions has similar economic characteristics and meets the criteria for aggregation as one reporting segment. Prior to June 2010, we indirectly owned partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P., or PVR, a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2001 that waswere also engaged in the coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream businesses. Our ownership interests in PVR were held principally through our general and limited partner interests in Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., or PVG, a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2006. In June 2010, weWe completely disposed of our remaining ownership interests in PVGthese businesses in 2010 and indirectly, our interests in PVR. Accordingly, PVG's results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been reported them as discontinued operations for allany applicable periods included herein.
In mid-2010, we made the decision to shift our investment and production focus away from natural gas and toward higher margin oil and NGLs. Over the course of three years, we have succeeded in transforming ourselves from a predominantly natural gas producer to a predominantly oil and NGL producer. Since 2010, we have increased our acreage position in the Eagle Ford Shale from approximately 7,500 net acres to approximately 78,000 net acres through the end of 2013 and, in 2013, crude oil and NGLs accounted for approximately 65 percent of total production and 88 percent of product revenues as compared to 15 percent of production and 26 percent of product revenues in 2009. Also in 2013, we spent $494 million, or 97 percent, of our capital program on Eagle Ford Shale operations. Our Eagle Ford Shale properties are located principally in the “volatile oil window” of the play, and we believe they provide us with an approximate ten-year drilling inventory based on our current pace of drilling and results.
DescriptionTo accomplish our natural gas-to-oil transformation, we made several significant oil and NGL acquisitions in the Eagle Ford Shale, and disposed of Businessa significant portion of our natural gas and other non-core assets. We completed our initial acquisition in 2010 when we acquired 6,800 net undeveloped Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales County, Texas. In 2013, we made a significant acquisition, or our 2013 EF Acquisition, of 40,600 gross (17,700 net) acres in Gonzales County and Lavaca County, Texas, including producing properties, primarily contiguous to our initial acreage. In addition, since 2010, we have acquired through a combination of leasing and earning through drilling approximately 67,800 gross (53,500 net) Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties contiguous to or near our previously acquired Eagle Ford Shale acreage.
Since 2010, we have disposed of an aggregate of approximately $161 million of natural gas assets located in Appalachia, the Arkoma Basin and the Gulf Coast regions of South Texas and Louisiana. In addition, in January 2014, we sold our South Texas natural gas gathering assets for $100 million, or approximately $94 million net to our working interest, and we recently initiated a process to sell our Granite Wash and Selma Chalk assets, which include proved reserves of approximately 26 MMBOE and production of approximately 4,200 BOEPD.
Business OverviewCurrent Operations
Our current operations consist of drilling unconventional horizontal development wells primarily concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also have operations in the Granite Wash in the Mid-Continent (primarily Oklahoma), the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley in East Texas and the Selma Chalk in Mississippi. We retain undeveloped acreage in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, but our Appalachian operations are limited to three operated wells.
In 2013, our production totaled 6.8 MMBOE. Our total production was comprised of crude oil (50 percent), NGLs (15 percent) and natural gas (35 percent). Our total product revenues of $430.7 million were derived from sales of crude oil (81 percent), NGLs (seven percent) and natural gas (12 percent). Sixty percent of our production was derived from South Texas, primarily the Eagle Ford Shale. The remaining production was derived from the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley in East Texas (15 percent), the Granite Wash in the Mid-Continent (14 percent), the Selma Chalk in Mississippi (11 percent) and the Marcellus Shale in Appalachia (less than one percent).
As of December 31, 2012,2013, our proved reserves were approximately 113136 MMBOE, of which 4140 percent were proved developed reserves and 4061 percent were oil and NGLs. Our proved reserves and primary development plays are located in South Texas, East Texas, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi, which comprised 7356 percent, 1126 percent, eight percent and 1610 percent of our total proved reserves, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. 2013.
In 2012, our production totaled 6.5 MMBOE. Texas, the Mid-Continent, Mississippi and Appalachia comprised 56 percent, 19 percent, 13 percent and 12 percent of total production volumes, respectively, during 2012. In the three years ended December 31, 2012,2013, we drilled 16659 gross (117.0(34.6 net) wells, of which 96 percent58 (34.1 net) were productive.productive and one (0.5 net) was under evaluation as of December 31, 2013. Included in the total were 57 gross (34.1 net) wells drilled in the Eagle Ford Shale. We

had 16 gross (11.5 net) wells in progress as of December 31, 2013 including three gross (2.8 net) wells completing, eight gross (5.0 net) wells waiting on completion and five gross (3.7 net) wells being drilled. As of December 31, 2012,2013, we had 1,1031,213 gross (910.8(969.2 net) productive wells, approximately 9796 percent of which we operate, and owned approximately 0.3 million280,400 gross (0.2 million(191,200 net) acres of leasehold and royalty interests, approximately 5342 percent of which were undeveloped. Our proved undeveloped locations and additional potential drilling locations are direct offsets or extensions from existing production. We believe we have multiple years of drilling opportunities on our existing undeveloped acreage based on our historical drilling rate. For a more detailed discussion of our production, reserves, production,drilling activities, wells and acreage, see Item 2, “Properties.”

In 2012,2013, our capital expenditures, excluding our 2013 EF Acquisition, were approximately $385$510 million, of which approximately $287$405 million, or 7480 percent, was related to development drilling, approximately $49$69 million, or 13 percent, was related to exploratory drillingleasehold acquisitions and related title work and approximately $28$13 million, or seventhree percent, was related to leasehold acquisitions.exploratory drilling. The remaining $21$23 million, or sixfour percent, was related to pipelines, gathering assets, facilities and corporate projects.

The past two years have been transformational for us as we have diversified our portfolio towards primarily oil and NGL investment opportunities. During 2012, we grew our oil and NGL production to 48 percent (56 percent for the 4th quarter of 2012) of our total production, an increase of approximately 43 percent over 2011, and we invested approximately $376 million in oil- and NGL-related capital projects. We expect our oil and NGL production to continue to grow as a percentage of our total production as we pursue higher rate-of-return projects in economically attractive oil- and NGL-rich areas. We have been very active in the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas, which provided approximately 36 percent of our 2012 production. In addition, we invested approximately $350 million, or 91 percent, of our 2012 capital program to projects in this play. We believe our project inventory in the Eagle Ford Shale provides us opportunities for continued oil- and NGL-focused investments over the next several years. Our current operations consist primarily of drilling unconventional horizontal development wells in shale formations.

In 2012, we sold our legacy natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia which comprised a significant portion of our operations in Appalachia. We have retained producing wells and significant undeveloped acreage in the Marcellus Shale area of the Appalachian region. For additional financial information, on this disposition, see Item 7, “Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Developments.Developments” and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Business Strategy
We intend to pursue the following business strategies:
Continue to expand oilExecuting our drilling program and NGL reserves and drilling inventoryfurther expanding in the Eagle Ford Shale. We anticipate spendingoperating up to six rigs for our 2014 drilling program, but will assess, on a regular basis, the opportunity to increase the rig count further and accelerate the value of our undrilled locations. We are continuing efforts to lower our completion costs and improve results through the increased use of multi-well pads and more effective fracturing techniques and stimulation referred to as “zipper fracs.” We currently own approximately $400 million for capital expenditures80,000 net acres in 2013. We plan to allocate up to $345 million, or approximately 86 percent, to drilling and completion projects, primarily on ourthe Eagle Ford Shale, acreage in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties in South Texas. Wewe plan to allocate upfurther increase our acreage position in proximity to $30 million,our existing holdings. As of February 19, 2014, our lease position provides us with a significant number of drilling locations, or approximately eight percent, to leasehold projects to further expand ourthe equivalent of an approximate ten-year inventory of drilling inventory. We anticipate allocating the remaining $25 million, or approximately six percent, to pipeline, gathering, seismic and and facilities projects.sites.
Grow our cash flows and margins. We expect our operating cash flows and margins will continue to grow on a pro forma basis taking into consideration recent asset sales as we increase our oil and NGL production through investment in higher rate-of-return development oil projects.
MaintainImproving our liquidity and financial position. We expectare pursuing a goal of continuing to continuestrengthen our balance sheet over the next three years. In furtherance of this goal, in January 2014, we sold our South Texas natural gas gathering assets. We have also initiated a process to usesell our operating cash flowsSelma Chalk and borrowings underGranite Wash assets, consisting of proved reserves of approximately 26 MMBOE and production of approximately 4,200 BOEPD. We anticipate these proceeds would substantially fund our projected capital program outspend for 2014. Through these actions, we anticipate lowering our debt to EBITDAX ratio, a non-GAAP measure defined in our revolving credit facility,agreement, or Revolver. Our goal is to maintain a level of financial liquidity (cash on hand plus availability under the Revolver, to fund our capital requirements in 2013. The Revolver limits our leverage to 4.5 times EBITDAX (as definedRevolver) of a minimum of $150 million, and in the Revolver) through December 31, 2013, 4.25 timeslonger term, maintain a debt to EBITDAX through June 30, 2014 and 4.0 times EBITDAX thereafter through its maturity in 2017. We have no material debt maturities until 2016.ratio of less than 3.0 times.
Retain long-term optionality of our core natural gas assets. We maintain substantial natural gas properties, particularly in the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley Sands in East Texas, which are largely held by production. At this time, we plan to retain these assets, which provide us with the option to increase development in these regions when natural gas prices improve.
Pursue selective divestitures of non-core assets to increase margins, operational focus and liquidity. From time to time, we may dispose of certain non-core assets and reinvest the proceeds into our oil- and NGL-focused projects.
ManageManaging risk exposure through an active hedging program. We actively manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by hedging the commodity price risk for our expected production. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the instruments employed depend upon our cash flows at risk, available hedge prices and our operating strategy. For 2013, weWe have hedged approximately 5870 percent of our estimated crude oil production for the first half of 2014 and approximately 65 percent for the second half of 2014 at average floor/swap and ceiling pricesa weighted-average floor price of $97.35 and $100.99$93.55 per barrel. In addition, we have hedged approximately 5540 percent of our estimated natural gas production through the third quarter of 2014 at a weighted-average floor/swapfloor price of $3.76$4.13 per MMBtu and ceilingapproximately 15 percent for the 2014 - 2015 winter at a weighted-average floor price of $4.19$4.50 per MMBtu.
Retain long-term optionality of our core natural gas assets. We maintain substantial natural gas properties in the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley in East Texas, which are largely HBP. At this time, we plan to retain these assets, which provide us with the option to increase development in these regions.
Generating new exploration opportunities. We are actively seeking new exploration opportunities with a goal of early entry into emerging plays at modest lease acquisition cost. Potential opportunities that we are considering include resource and unconventional play types with a horizontal drilling application.
Contractual Arrangements
In the ordinary course of operating our business, we enter into a number of contracts for goods and services. The following is a summary of our most significant contractual arrangements.
Marketing. We generally sell our crude oil, NGL and natural gas products using short-term floating price physical and spot market contracts. Our crude oil sales are generally committed at the wellhead and are priced based on the NYMEX quoted price for WTI crude oil plus any differential for LLS less deductions for transportation and quality. Our NGLs are sold to interstate and midstream pipelines with pricing based on the Mont Belvieu, Texas or Conway, Kansas indices less deductions for transportation and fractionation and a marketing fee. Our natural gas production is also sold to interstate and midstream

5



Contractspipelines with pricing based on the NYMEX quoted price for Henry Hub natural gas adjusted for any basis differential or as a percentage of certain regional reference prices.
Drilling and Completion. We have agreements to purchase oil and gas well drilling and well completion services, including hydraulic fracturing services. Generally, these agreements are on a month-to-month basis, but certain agreements extend for terms beyond one year. These agreements include early termination provisions that would require us to pay penalties if we terminate the agreements prior to the end of their original terms. We also purchase a substantial volume of well materials, including tubular products as well as proppant and other chemicals used in the well fracturing and stimulation process. Some of these products are provided for in our agreements for well completion services and in other cases we source such materials from different vendors.
TransportationGathering and Compression. Concurrent with the recent sale of our South Texas natural gas gathering assets, we entered into a an agreement that will provide gathering and compression services for our natural gas production in the South Texas region for a term of 25 years.
Transportation. We have entered into contracts that provide firm transportation capacity rights for specified volumes of natural gas per day on various pipeline systems for terms ranging from one to 15 years. The contracts require us to pay transportation demand charges regardless of the amount of pipeline capacity we use. We may sell excess capacity to third parties at our discretion.
Marketing
We generally sell our crude oil, NGL and natural gas products using short-term floating price physical and spot market contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 59 percent of our consolidated product revenues were attributable to four customers: Sunoco Refining and Marketing, Inc.; Shell Trading (US) Company; Gulfmark Energy Inc.; and Enterprise Crude Oil LLC.
Commodity Derivative Contracts
Derivatives. We generally utilize collar, swap and swaption derivative contracts, among others, to hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with anticipated sales of our future oil and gas production. While the use of derivative instruments limits the risk of adverse price movements, such use may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements.

The counterpartyWe sell a significant portion of our oil and gas production to a collar or swap contract is required to make a payment to us ifrelatively small number of customers. For the settlement price for any settlement period is below the floor or swap price for such contract. We are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price for any settlement period is above the ceiling or swap price for such contract. Neither party is required to make a payment to the other party if the settlement price for any settlement period is equal to or greater than the floor price and equal to or less than the ceiling price for such contract. A swaption contract gives our counterparties the option to enter into a fixed price swap with us at a future date. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is higher than or equal to the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the counterparty will exercise its option to enter into a fixed price swap at the swaption strike price for the term of the swaption, at which point the contract functions as a fixed price swap. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is lower than the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the option expires and no fixed price swap is in effect.

winter months.
Competition
The oil and natural gas industry is very competitive, and we compete with a substantial number of other companies that are large, well-established and have greater financial and operational resources than we do, which may adversely affect our ability to compete or grow our business. Many such companies not only engage in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves, but also carry on refining operations, electricity generation and the marketing of refined products. Competition is particularly intense in the acquisition of prospective oil and natural gas properties. We may incur higher costs or be unable to acquire and develop desirable properties at costs we consider reasonable because of this competition. We compete with other oil and natural gas companies to secure drilling rigs and other equipment necessary for the drilling and completion of wells and in the recruiting and retaining of qualified personnel. Such equipment and labor may be in short supply from time to time. Shortages of equipment, labor or materials may result in increased costs or the inability to obtain such resources as needed. We also compete with substantially larger oil and gas companies in the marketing and sale of oil and natural gas, and the oil and natural gas industry in general competes with other industries supplying energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual consumers.

Government Regulation and Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws that govern oil and regulations governinggas operations, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relatingrelate to the protection of the environment. FailureNumerous governmental departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws that are often difficult and costly to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment ofwhich carry substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties as well as the issuance of injunctions limiting or prohibiting our activities. Compliance with theseactivities for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations, such as plugging of abandoned wells. As of December 31, 2013, we have recorded asset retirement obligations of $6.4 million attributable to these activities. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases ourits cost of doing business. Also,business and consequently affects its profitability. These laws, rules and regulations affect our operations, as well as the oil and gas exploration and production industry in general. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance with existing

requirements will not have been subject to frequenta material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Nevertheless, changes overin existing environmental laws or regulations or the years and the impositionadoption of more stringent requirements,new environmental laws or regulations, including any significant limitation on the use of hydraulic fracturing, could have a material adverse effect onthe potential to adversely affect our financial condition, and results of operations.operations and cash flows.
The following is a summary of the significant environmental laws to which our business operations are subject.
CERCLA. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or CERCLA, is also known as the “Superfund” law. CERCLA and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on parties that are considered to have contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. Such “responsible parties” may be subject to joint and several liability under CERCLA for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. We currently own or lease properties that have been used for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas for a number of years. Many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes was not under our control. These properties, and any wastes that may have been released on them, may be subject to CERCLA, and we could potentially be required to investigate and remediate such properties, including soil or groundwater contamination by prior owners or operators, or to perform remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.
RCRA. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state statutes regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and clean up of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA. While there is currently an exclusion from RCRA for drilling fluids, produced waters and most of the other wastes

6



associated with the exploration and production of oil or natural gas, it is possible that some of these wastes could be classified as hazardous waste in the future, and therefore be subject to RCRA.
Oil Pollution Act. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or the OPA, contains numerous restrictions relating to the prevention of and response to oil spills into waters of the United States. The term “waters of the United States” has been interpreted broadly to include inland water bodies, including wetlands and intermittent streams. The OPA subjects owners of facilities to strict, joint and several liability for all containment and clean up costs, and certain other damages arising from a spill.
Clean Water Act. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act, governs the discharge of certain pollutants into waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters without a permit issued by the EPA or the state is prohibited. The Clean Water Act also requires the preparation and implementation of Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plans in connection with on-site storage of significant quantities of oil. Notably, in Pennsylvania, wastewater from the hydraulic fracturing process can no longer be sent to publicly owned treatment works directly. New wastewater discharges must be treated at a centralized waste treatment facility and comply with certain Total Dissolved Solids standards prior to being discharged to publicly owned treatment works. This restriction of disposal options for hydraulic fracturing waste may result in increased costs. The EPA is currently developing analogous pretreatment standards on the federal level.
Safe Drinking Water Act. The Safe Drinking Water Act, or the SDWA, and the Underground Injection Control Program promulgated under the SDWA, establish the requirements for salt water disposal well activities and prohibit the migration of fluid containing contaminants into underground sources of drinking water. We engage third parties to provide hydraulic fracturing or other well stimulation services to us in connection with the wells in which we act as operator. Hydraulic fracturing is an important and commonly used process in the completion of oil and gas wells, particularly in unconventional plays like the Eagle Ford Shale, Granite Wash, Haynesville Shale and the Marcellus Shale formations. The Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act that was introduced in both the 111th and 112th Congresses would subject hydraulic fracturing operations to federal regulation under the SDWA and require the disclosure of chemicals used by us and others in the oil and gas industry in the hydraulic fracturing process. Sponsors of these bills have asserted that chemicals used in the fracturing process could adversely affect drinking water supplies. Proposed legislation would require, among other things, the reporting and public disclosure of chemicals used in the fracturing process, which could make it easier for third parties opposing the hydraulic fracturing process to initiate legal proceedings against producers and service providers. In addition, these bills, if adopted, could establish an additional level of regulation and permitting of hydraulic fracturing operations at the federal level, which could lead to operational delays, increased operating and compliance costs and additional regulatory burdens that could make it more difficult or commercially impracticable for us to perform hydraulic fracturing. Such costs and burdens could delay the development of unconventional gas resources from shale formations, which are not commercial without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Additionally, the EPA has commenced a comprehensive research study to investigate the potential adverse impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water and ground water. The EPA released a progress report on its study on December 21, 2012 and expects to release a final draft for public comment and peer review in 2014.

Additionally, certain states in which we operate have adopted regulations requiring the disclosure of chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. For instance, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas have implemented chemical disclosure requirements for hydraulic fracturing operations. We currently disclose all hydraulic fracturing additives we use on www.FracFocus.org, a website created by the Ground Water Protection Council and Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
Prohibitions and Other Regulatory Limitations on Hydraulic Fracturing. There have been a variety of regulatory initiatives at the state level to restrict oil and gas drilling operations in certain locations. For example, Pennsylvania has instituted a moratorium on leasing state forest land for gas drilling, and municipalities in New York have banned or limited hydraulic fracturing within their borders. Additionally, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, or NYDEC, has ceased issuing drilling permits for horizontal drilling under the General Environmental Impact Statement, pending completion of the Supplemental General Environmental Impact Statement, or SGEIS, that takes into account the impacts of high volume hydraulic fracturing. However, the NYDEC has stated that it will consider individual, site-specific environmental reviews for any entity that wishes to proceed with a permit application as long as that review is of similar scope and depth as the SGEIS. The most recent draft of the SGEIS was released in September 2011 but final regulations have not yet been issued.
In addition to chemical disclosure rules, some states have implemented permitting, well construction or water withdrawal regulations that may increase the costs of hydraulic fracturing operations. Pennsylvania and West Virginia have issued setback regulations for wells. Colorado recently enacted new setback restrictions as well as requirements to conduct sampling on water wells before and after drilling. In addition, states such as Texas and Pennsylvania have water withdrawal restrictions allowing suspension of withdrawal rights in times of shortages while other states require reporting on the amount of water used and its source.

Increased regulation of and attention given by environmental interest groups, as well as state and federal regulatory authorities, to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater opposition to oil and gas production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. Additional legislation or regulation could also lead to operational delays or increased operating costs in the production of oil and natural gas, including from the developing shale plays, or could make it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing. These developments could also lead to litigation challenging proposed or operating wells. The adoption of federal, state or local laws or the implementation of regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing that are more stringent could cause a decrease in the completion of new oil and gas wells, as well as increased compliance costs and time, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We use hydraulic fracturing extensively and any increased federal, state, or local regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce the volumes of oil and natural gas that we can economically recover.
A recent decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court may empower local governments to limit and/or regulate hydraulic fracturing, which could complicate and delay hydraulic fracturing activity. In February 2012, Pennsylvania passed Act 13, which, among other things, provided for new well fees assessed and collected on unconventional wells, substantial revisions to environmental protections for both surface and subsurface activities, and prevented local zoning rules from imposing burdens on oil and gas activities beyond those required by the state. However, in December 2013, the court struck down portions of Act 13, including deeming the statewide preemption of local zoning rules and the setback requirement waiver provisions unconstitutional. The Commonwealth has sought reconsideration and a remand. If this decision is not modified by subsequent rulings and the statute is not amended to address the decision, the net affect may be to subject hydraulic fracturing activities to local limitations and potentially duplicative and inconsistent regulations.
Clean Air Act. Our operations are subject to the Clean Air Act, or the CAA, and comparable state and local requirements. In 1990, the U.S. Congress adopted amendments to the CAA containing provisions that have resulted in the gradual imposition of certain pollution control requirements with respect to air emissions from our operations. The EPA and states have developed, and continue to develop, regulations to implement these requirements. We may be required to incur certain capital expenditures in the next several years for air pollution control equipment in connection with maintaining or obtaining operating permits and approvals addressing other air emission-related issues. Further, stricter requirements could negatively impact our production and operations. For example, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Railroad Commission of Texas have been evaluating possible additional regulation of air emissions in response to concerns about allegedly high concentrations of benzene in the air near drilling sites and natural gas processing facilities. These initiatives could lead to more stringent air permitting, increased regulation and possible enforcement actions at the local, state and federal levels.
Additionally, on April 17, 2012, the EPA issued new rules subjecting all oil and gas operations (production, processing, transmission, storage and distribution) to regulation under the New Source Performance Standards, or NSPS, and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAPS, programs. The new rules regulate emissions from several types of emission sources that have never before been subject to federal standards, and also include NSPS standards for completion of hydraulically fractured gas wells. The standards apply to newly drilled and fractured wells, as well as existing wells that are refractured. The NESHAPS regulations apply to certain major sources of hazardous air pollutants not previously subject to Maximum Achievable Control Technology, or MACT, standards. In September 2013, the EPA published updates to

8



the 2012 performance standards, setting the compliance deadline for tanks based upon when they were put into use. These rules may require a number of modifications to our operations, including the installation of new equipment to control emissions from our compressors at initial startup or October 15, 2012, whichever is later.by the applicable compliance deadline. Compliance with such rules could result in significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, and could adversely impact our business. We are currently researching the effect these new rules will have on our business, but generally expect them to add to the cost and expense of our operations.
There have been recent claims asserted that individual wells and other facilities should be “aggregated” together and their collective emissions considered in determining whether major source permitting requirements apply under the CAA. If we were required to aggregate individual wells and other facilities, it could bring us within the ambit of the Title V permitting program, and we could be considered a major source for MACT applicability. For example, though the Sixth Circuit recently vacated an EPA determination to aggregate natural gas wells and a sweetening plant in Summit Petroleum Corp. v. EPA et al., the EPA released a December 21, 2012 memorandum stating that although the EPA will follow the court'scourt’s interpretation when considering aggregation in the Sixth Circuit, it will continue to follow its current practice of considering interrelatedness in other jurisdictions. In addition, in Citizens for Pennsylvania'sPennsylvanias Future v. Ultra Resources, Inc., a case challenging a decision not to aggregate certain facilities in Pennsylvania, the court allowed the case to move forward by denying defendant'sdefendant’s motion to dismiss, even though the plaintiff had not exhausted review procedures with the administrative agency.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Both in the United States and worldwide, there is increasing attention being paid to the issue of climate change and the contributing effect of greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions. On June 28, 2010, the EPA issued the “Final Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases” Rule, or the Reporting Rule, requiring all stationary sources that emit more than 25,000 tons of GHGs per year to collect and report to the EPA data regarding such emissions. The Reporting Rule establishes a new comprehensive scheme, which began in 2011, requiring operators of stationary sources emitting more than established annual thresholds of carbon dioxide-equivalent GHGs to inventory and report their GHG emissions occurring in the prior calendar year on a facility-by-facility basis. On November 9, 2010, the EPA issued final rules applying these regulations to the oil and gas source category, including oil and natural gas production, natural gas processing, transmission, distribution and storage facilities (Subpart W). This action does not require control of GHGs. However, the EPA has indicated that it will use data collected through the reporting rules to decide whether to promulgate future GHG limits.
In addition, in 2009, the EPA issued a final rule known as the EPA'sEPA’s Endangerment Finding finding that current and projected concentrations of six key GHGs in the atmosphere threaten public health and the environment, as well as the welfare of current and future generations. Legal challenges to these findings have been asserted, and the U.S. Congress is considering legislation to delay or repeal the EPA'sEPA’s actions, but we cannot predict the outcome of this litigation or these efforts. The EPA has begun adopting and implementing regulations to restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the CAA. These

8



rules were subject to judicial challenge, but on June 26, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected challenges to the tailoring rule and other EPA rules relating to the regulation of GHGs under the CAA.
Starting July 1, 2011, the EPA required facilities that must already obtain New Source Review permits for other pollutants to include GHGs in their permits for new construction projects that emit at least 100,000 tons per year of GHGs and existing facilities that increase their emissions by at least 75,000 tons per year. On March 27, 2012, the EPA issued its proposed NSPS for carbon dioxide emissions standard from new and modified power plants and held public hearings on the rule in May 2012 and accepted written comments until June 25, 2012. In its June 2013 Climate Action Plan, the Obama Administration announced its intent to issue regulations under Section 111(b) and Section 111(d) of the CAA to set NSPS for both new and existing power plants by June 2015. In January 2014, the EPA formally published re-proposed GHG NSPS for new and modified electric generating units (“EGUs”). The Climate Action Plan also directs federal agencies to develop a strategy for the reduction of methane emissions, including emissions from the oil and natural gas agency. In addition, in October 2013, the U.S. Congress has consideredSupreme Court granted certiorari to hear arguments related to a numbercombination of legislative proposalsseveral petitions challenging the EPA’s approach to restrictCO2 regulation. As a result of this continued regulatory focus, future federal GHG emissions.regulations of the oil and gas industry remain a possibility. Also, many states and regions have adopted GHG initiatives and certain governmental bodies have or are considering the imposition of fees or taxes based on the emission of GHGs by certain facilities. While it is not possible to predict how any regulations to restrict GHG emissions may come into force, these and other legislative and regulatory proposals for restricting GHG emissions or otherwise addressing climate change could require us to incur additional operating costs or curtail oil and gas operations in certain areas and could also adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas we sell.
Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth'sEarth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our operations.
OSHA. We are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA, and comparable state laws that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires maintenance of information about hazardous materials used or produced in operations, and the provision of such

9



information to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. Other OSHA standards regulate specific worker safety aspects of our operations.
Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act and analogous state laws regulate activities that could have an adverse effect on threatened or endangered species.
Employees and Labor Relations
We had a total of 130144 employees as of December 31, 2012.2013. We consider our current employee relations to be favorable. We and our employees are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements.

Item 1A    Risk Factors
Our business and operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as described below. However, the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we may currently deem immaterial, may become important factors that harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.operations and cash flows. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations and cash flows could suffer.
Crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices are volatile, and a substantial or extended decline in prices would hurt our profitability and financial condition.

Our revenues, operating results, cash flows, profitability, future rate of growth and the carrying value of our oil and gas properties depend heavily on prevailing market prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. Historically, crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Even relatively modest drops in prices can affect significantly our financial results and impede our growth. Wide fluctuations in crude oil, NGLs and natural gas prices may result from relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market demand and other factors that are beyond our control, including:
domestic and foreign supplies of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas;
domestic and foreign consumer demand for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas;
political and economic conditions in oil or gas producing regions;
overall domestic and foreign economic conditions;
prices and availability of, and demand for, alternative fuels;
the availability of gathering, processing and transportation facilities;
weather conditions; and
domestic and foreign governmental regulation.

Many of our projections and estimates are based on assumptions as to the future prices of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. These price assumptions are used for planning purposes. We expect our assumptions will change over time and that actual prices in the future will likely differ from our estimates. Any substantial or extended decline in the actual prices of crude oil, NGLs or natural gas would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations (including reducedand cash flows, borrowing capacity and possible asset impairment), the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce, the quantity of estimated proved reserves that may be attributed to our properties and our ability to fund our capital program.
Our future performance depends on our ability to find or acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
Unless we successfully replace the reserves that we produce, our reserves will decline, eventually resulting in a decrease in oil and gas production and lower revenues and cash flows from operations.operating activities. We have historically succeeded in substantially replacing reserves primarily through exploration and development and, to a lesser extent, acquisitions. We have conducted such activities on our existing oil and gas properties as well as on newly acquired properties. We may not be able to continue to replace reserves and production from such activities at acceptable costs. Currently depressed gas prices may further limit the types of reserves that can be developed economically. Lower prices also decrease our cash flows from operating activities and may cause us to reduce capital expenditures.

10



The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. We may not be able to make the necessary capital investments to maintain or expand our oil and gas reserves if cash flows from operationsoperating activities are reduced and external sources of capital are limited. In addition, exploration and development activities involve numerous risks that may result in dry holes, the failure to produce oil and gas in commercial quantities and the inability to fully produce discovered reserves.
We are continually identifying and evaluating acquisition opportunities. However, competition for oil and gas properties is intense and many of our competitors have financial and other resources substantially greater than those available to us. In the event we are successful in completing an acquisition, we cannot ensure that such acquisition will consist of properties that contain economically recoverable reserves or that such acquisition will be profitably integrated into our operations. 


10



We may not be able to fund our planned capital expenditures.
We make, and will continue to make, substantial capital expenditures to find, acquire, develop and produce oil and natural gas reserves. In 2013,2014, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of up to approximately $400$640 million.

If crude oil or NGL prices decrease, natural gas prices fail to recover or we encounter operating difficulties that result in our cash flow from operations being less than expected, we may have to reduce our capital expenditures unless we have sufficient borrowing capacity under the Revolver.

Future cash flows and the availability of financing will also be subject to a number of variables, such as our success in locating and producing new reserves, the level of production from existing wells and prices of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas.
If our revenues were to decrease due to lower crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices, decreased production or other reasons, and if we could not obtain capital through the Revolver, or otherwise on acceptable terms, our ability to execute our development plans, replace our reserves or maintain production levels could be greatly limited.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness and our ability to service our indebtedness depends on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

AtAs of December 31, 2012,2013, we had an aggregate of approximately $600 million$1.3 billion of debt outstanding and would have been able to incur an additional $297.9$257.3 million (net of $2.1$2.7 million of letters of credit) under the Revolver. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future. Subject to certain conditions, our existing debt instruments do not prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness. Any increase in our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation:

we will have additional cash requirements in order to support the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness;
increases in our outstanding indebtedness and leverage will increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure; and
depending on the levels of our outstanding debt, our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate and other purposes may be limited.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our future financial condition and operating performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operationsoperating activities in the future to service our debt, we may be forced, among other things, to:
seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets;
refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness;
sell selected assets;
reduce or delay planned capital expenditures; or
reduce or delay planned operating expenditures.

Such measures might not be successful and might not enable us to service our debt. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be available on economically favorable terms.

The borrowing base under the Revolver may be reduced in the future if commodity prices decline.

The borrowing base under the Revolver is $300$425 million as of December 31, 2012.2013. Our borrowing base is re-determinedredetermined twice aeach year and is scheduled to be redetermined during April 2013.2014. If crude oil, NGL or natural gas prices decline, the borrowing base under the Revolver may be reduced. As a result, we may be unable to obtain funding under the Revolver. If funding is not available when or in the amounts needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, it might adversely affect our development plan as currently anticipated and our ability to make new acquisitions, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our production, financial condition, and results of operations.
operations and cash flows.

11



The Revolver and our other debt instruments have restrictive covenants that could limit our financial flexibility.

The Revolver and the indentures related to our outstanding senior notes contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our ability to borrow under the Revolver is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Revolver includes other restrictions that, among other things, limit our ability to incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and liquidations; make asset dispositions, restricted payments and investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and amend, modify or prepay certain indebtedness. The indentures related to our outstanding senior notes contain limitations on our ability to effect mergers and change of control events, as well as other limitations, including:
limitations on the declaration and payment of dividends or other restricted payments;
limitations on incurring additional indebtedness or issuing preferred stock;
limitations on the creation or existence of certain liens;
limitations on incurring restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payments;
limitations on transactions with affiliates; and
limitations on the sale of assets.

Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts. We do not have sufficient working capital to satisfy our debt obligations in the event of an acceleration of all or a significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness.

Exploration and development drilling may not result in commercially productive reserves.
Oil and gas drilling and production activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reserves will be found. The costs of drilling, completing and operating wells are often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
unexpected drilling conditions;
elevated pressure or irregularities in geologic formations;
equipment failures or accidents;
costs, shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs, crews, equipment and materials;
shortages in experienced labor;
failure to or delays in securing necessary regulatory approvals and permits, including delays due to potential hydraulic fracturing regulations;
fires, explosions, blow-outs and surface cratering; and
adverse weather conditions.

The prevailing prices of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas also affect the cost of and the demand for drilling rigs, production equipment and related services. The availability of drilling rigs and equipment can vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. Although land drilling rigs can be moved from one region to another in response to changes in levels of demand, an undersupply of rigs in any region may result in drilling delays and higher drilling costs for the rigs that are available in that region.
 
The wells we drill may not be productive and we may not recover all or any portion of our investment in such wells. The seismic data and other technologies we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to drilling a well that oil or natural gas is present or may be produced economically. The cost of drilling, completing and operating a well is often uncertain, and cost factors can adversely affect the economics of a project. In addition, limitations on the use of hydraulic fracturing could have an adverse effect on our ability to develop and produce oil and natural gas from new wells, which would reduce our rate of return on these wells and our cash flows. Drilling activities can result in dry wells or wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues after operating and other costs to cover initial drilling costs.

Our future drilling activities may not be successful, nor can we be sure that our overall drilling success rate or our drilling success rate within a particular area will not decline. Unsuccessful drilling activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.operations and cash flows. Also, we may not be able to obtain any options or lease rights in potential drilling locations that we identify. Although we have identified numerous potential drilling locations, we may not be able to economically produce oil or natural gas from all of them.

We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers, and nonpayment or nonperformance by these parties would reduce our cash flows.
 
We are subject to risk from loss resulting from our customers'customers’ nonperformance or nonpayment. We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of revenues. In 2012, 592013, approximately 42 percent of our total consolidated product

12



revenues resulted from fourthree of our customers. Any nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers would reduce our cash flows.

We participate in oil and gas leases with third parties and these third parties may not be able to fulfill their commitments to our projects.
We frequently own less than 100% of the working interest in the oil and gas leases on which we conduct operations, and other parties own the remaining portion of the working interest. Financial risks are inherent in any operation where the cost of drilling, equipping, completing and operating wells is shared by more than one party. We could be held liable for joint activity obligations of other working interest owners, such as nonpayment of costs and liabilities arising from the actions of the other working interest owners. In addition, the possibility of an economic downturn and the volatility in commodity prices may increase the likelihood that some of these working interest owners, particularly those that are smaller and less established than we, are not able to fulfill their joint activity obligations. Some of our project partners have experienced liquidity and cash flow problems. These problems may lead our partners to attempt to delay the pace of drilling or project development in order to preserve cash. A partner may be unable or unwilling to pay its share of project costs. In some cases, a partner may declare bankruptcy. In the event any of our project partners do not pay their share of such costs, we would likely have to pay those costs, and we may be unsuccessful in any efforts to recover these costs from our partners, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition, and results of operations.

operations and cash flows.
Our business involves many operating risks, including hydraulic fracturing, that may result in substantial losses for which insurance may be unavailable or inadequate.
Our operations are subject to all of the risks and hazards typically associated with the exploitation, development and exploration for and the production and transportation of oil and natural gas, including well stimulation and completion activities such as hydraulic fracturing. These operating risks include:
fires, explosions, blowouts, cratering and casing collapses;
formations with abnormal pressures;
pipeline ruptures or spills;
uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids;
migration of fracturing fluids into surrounding groundwater;
spills or releases of fracturing fluids including from trucks sometimes used to deliver these materials;
spills or releases of brine or other produced water that may go off-site;
subsurface conditions that prevent us from (i) stimulating the planned number of stages, (ii) accessing the entirety of the wellbore with our tools during completion or (iii) removing all fracturing materials from the wellbore to allow production to begin;
environmental hazards such as natural gas leaks, oil spills and discharges of toxic gases;
personal injuries and death; and
natural disasters.

Any of these risks could result in substantial losses resulting from injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental damages, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigations and penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, under certain circumstances, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners or operators of properties that we own, lease or operate. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities, which could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or cause us to incur losses.
If we experience any of these problems with well stimulation and completion activities, such as hydraulic fracturing, our ability to explore for and produce oil or natural gas may be adversely affected. We could incur substantial losses or otherwise fail to realize reserves in particular formations as a result of:
the need to shut down, abandon and relocate drilling operations;
the need to sample, test and monitor drinking water in particular areas and to provide filtration or other drinking water supplies to users of water supplies that may have been impacted or threatened by potential contamination from fracturing fluids;

13



the need to modify drill sites to ensure there are no spills or releases off-site and to investigate and/or remediate any spills or releases that might have occurred; or
suspension of our operations.

In accordance with industry practice, we maintain insurance at a level that balances the cost of insurance with our assessment of the risk and our ability to achieve a reasonable rate of return on our investments. We cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities or that we can purchase insurance against all possible losses or

13



liabilities. Also, we cannot predict the continued availability of insurance at premium levels that justify its purchase. The occurrence of a significant event, not fully insured or indemnified against, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
operations and cash flows. 
Our business depends on gathering, processing and transportation facilities owned by others.
We deliver substantially all of our oil and natural gas production through pipelines that we do not own. The marketability of our production depends upon the availability, proximity and capacity of these pipelines, as well as gathering systems and processing facilities. The unavailability of or lack of available capacity on these systems and facilities could result in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties. Federal, state and local regulation of oil and natural gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand, pipeline pressures, damage to or destruction of pipelines and general economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to produce, gather, process and market our oil and natural gas.
 
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are not precise.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains estimates of our proved oil and natural gas reserves and the estimated future net cash flows from such reserves. These estimates are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC relating to crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. This process requires significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. These estimates are dependent on many variables and, therefore, changes often occur as these variables evolve and commodity prices fluctuate. Any material inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reserves.
 
Actual future production, crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves will most likely vary from those estimated. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of reserves disclosed by us. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
 
At December 31, 2012,2013, approximately 5960 percent of our estimated proved reserves were proved undeveloped. Estimation of proved undeveloped reserves and proved developed non-producing reserves is based on volumetric calculations and adjacent reserve performance data. Recovery of proved undeveloped reserves requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Production revenues from proved developed non-producing reserves will not be realized until some time in the future. The reserve data assumes that we will make significant capital expenditures to develop our reserves. Although we have prepared estimates of our reserves and the costs associated with these reserves in accordance with industry standards, these estimated costs may not be accurate, development may not occur as scheduled and actual results may not occur as estimated.

Moreover, the reserve estimation standards provide that, subject to limited exceptions, proved undeveloped reserves may only be booked if they relate to wells scheduled to be drilled within five years of the date of booking. These standards may limit our potential to book additional proved undeveloped reserves as we pursue our drilling program. Moreover, we may be required to write down our proved undeveloped reserves if we do not develop those reserves within the required five-year time frame or cannot demonstrate that we could do so. We removed approximately 8.720 MMBOE of proved undeveloped reserves in 20122013 as a result of the five-year limitation.
 
You should not assume that the present value of estimated future net cash flows (standardized measure) referred to herein is the current fair value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves. In accordance with SEC requirements, we base the estimated discounted future net cash flows from our proved reserves on prices and costs on the date of the estimate. Actual current and future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than the prices and costs as of the date of the estimate. As a result, net present value estimates using actual prices and costs may be significantly less than the SEC estimate that is

14



provided herein. In addition, the 10% discount factor, which is required by the SEC to be used in calculating discounted future net cash flows for reporting purposes, is not necessarily the most accurate discount factor for us.
We may record impairment losses on our oil and gas properties.
Quantities of proved reserves are estimated based on economic conditions in existence in the period of assessment. Lower crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices may have the impact of shortening the economic lives on certain fields because it becomes uneconomic to produce all recoverable reserves on such fields, thus reducing proved property reserve estimates. If such revisions in the estimated quantities of proved reserves occur, it will have the effect of increasing the rates of depreciation, depletion and amortization, or DD&A, on the affected properties, which would decrease earnings or result in losses through higher DD&A expense. The revisions may also be sufficient enough to cause impairment losses on certain properties that would result in a further non-cash charge to reported earnings.

14



GAAP requires that the carrying value of oil and gas properties be reviewed on a periodic basis for possible impairment. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value of oil and gas properties is greater than the undiscounted future net cash flows attributable to the property. In addition to revisions to reserves and the impact of lower commodity prices, impairments may occur due to increases in estimated operating and development costs and other factors. During the past several years, we have been required to impair certain of our oil and gas properties and related assets. If crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices decline or we drill uneconomic wells, it is reasonably possible that we will have to record a significant impairment in the future. While an impairment charge reflects our ability to recover the carrying value of our investments, it does not impact our cash flows from operating activities.
 
We have limited control over the activities on properties we do not operate.
In 2012,2013, other companies operated approximately 1711 percent of our net production. Our success in properties operated by others will depend upon a number of factors outside of our control, including timing and amount of capital expenditures, the operator'soperator’s expertise and financial resources, approval of other participants in drilling wells, selection of technology and maintenance of safety and environmental standards. We have limited ability to influence or control the operation or future development of these non-operated properties or the amount of capital expenditures that we are required to fund for their operation. Our dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for these projects and our limited ability to influence or control the operation and future development of these properties could have a material adverse effect on the realization of our targeted returns or lead to unexpected future costs.
Our property acquisitions carry significant risks.
Acquisition of oil and gas properties is a key element of maintaining and growing reserves and production. Competition for these assets has been and will continue to be intense. In the event we do complete an acquisition, its success will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the purchase price, future crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices, the ability to reasonably estimate or assess the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future production and future net revenues attainable from reserves, future operating and capital costs, results of future exploration, exploitation and development activities on the acquired properties and future abandonment and possible future environmental or other liabilities. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves, actual future production rates and associated costs and potential liabilities with respect to prospective acquisition targets. Actual results may vary substantially from those assumed in the estimates. A customary review of subject properties will not necessarily reveal all existing or potential problems.
 
Additionally, significant acquisitions can change the nature of our operations and business depending upon the character of the acquired properties if they have substantially different operating and geological characteristics or are in different geographic locations than our existing properties. To the extent that acquired properties are substantially different than our existing properties, our ability to efficiently realize the expected economic benefits of such transactions may be limited.
 
Integrating acquired businesses and properties involves a number of special risks. These risks include the possibility that management may be distracted from regular business concerns by the need to integrate operations and systems and that unforeseen difficulties can arise in integrating operations and systems and in retaining and assimilating employees. Any of these or other similar risks could lead to potential adverse short-term or long-term effects on our operating results, and may cause us to not be able to realize any or all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.

15



We are subject to complex laws and regulations that can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.
Exploration, development, production and sale of oil and natural gas are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including complex environmental laws. Future laws or regulations, any adverse changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or a failure to comply with existing legal requirements may harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties, environmental protection and taxation. Our operations create the risk of environmental liabilities to the government or third parties for any unlawful discharge of oil, gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water. In the event of environmental violations, we may be charged with remedial costs and land owners may file claims for alternative water supplies, property damage or bodily injury. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become more stringent in recent years, and may, in some circumstances, result in liability for environmental damage regardless of negligence or fault. In addition, pollution and similar environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. These liabilities and costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.operations and cash flows. See Item 1, “Business — Government Regulation and Environmental Matters.”

Federal and state legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.
The practice of hydraulic fracturing has come under increased scrutiny by the environmental community. Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into prospective rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production. We use this completion technique on all of our wells. The EPA has commenced a study ofis studying the potential environmental impactimpacts of hydraulic fracturing.fracturing and is expected to release a draft report in 2014. The EPA is also announced that one of its enforcement initiativesexpected to announce a proposed rulemaking regarding chemical substances and mixtures used in oil and gas exploration and production and propose new pretreatment standards for 2011 to 2013 is to focus on environmental compliance by the energy extraction sector.wastewater from hydraulically fractured wells in 2014. In addition, some states and local governments have enacted legislation or adopted regulations, and the U.S. Congress and other states are considering enacting legislation or adopting regulations, that could impose more stringent permitting, disclosure, and well construction and water use requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. Individually or collectively, such new legislation or regulation could result in increased compliance and operating costs, delays or additional operating restrictions. If the use of hydraulic fracturing is limited, prohibited or subjected to further regulation, these requirements could delay or effectively prevent the extraction of oil and gas from formations which would not be economically viable without the use of hydraulic fracturing. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.operations and cash flows.
Derivative transactions may limit our potential gains and involve other risks.
 
In order to manage our exposure to price risks in the sale of our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, we periodically enter into commodity price hedging arrangements with respect to a portion of our expected production. Our hedges are limited in duration, usually for periods of two years or less. While intended to reduce the effects of volatile crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices, such transactions may limit our potential gains if crude oil, NGL or natural gas prices were to rise over the price established by the hedging arrangements. In trying to maintain an appropriate balance, we may end up hedging too much or too little, depending upon how crude oil, NGL or natural gas prices fluctuate in the future.
 
In addition, derivative transactions may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:
 
our production is less than expected;
there is a widening of price basis differentials between delivery points for our production and the delivery point assumed in the hedge arrangement;
the counterparties to our futures contracts fail to perform under the contracts; or
a sudden, unexpected event materially impacts crude oil, NGL or natural gas prices.

In addition, derivative instruments involve basis risk. Basis risk in a derivative contract occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. For example, a NYMEX index used for hedging certain volumes of production may have more or less variability than the regional price index used for the sale of that production.

The enactment of derivatives legislation and regulation could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business.
On July 21, 2010, new comprehensive financial reform legislation, known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act, was enacted that establishes federal oversight regulation of over-the-counter derivatives market and entities, such as us, that participate in that market. The Act requires the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, the SEC and other regulators to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the new legislation. In its rulemaking under the Act, the CFTC has issued final regulations to set position limits for certain futures and option contracts in the major energy markets and for swaps that are their economic equivalents. Certain bona fide hedging transactions would be exempt from these position limits. The position limits rule was vacated by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in September 2012, although the CFTC has stated that it will appeal the District Court's decision. The CFTC also has finalized other regulations, including critical rulemakings on the definition of “swap,” “security-based swap,” “swap dealer” and “major swap participant.” The Act and CFTC rules also will require us in connection with certain derivatives activities to comply with clearing and trade-execution requirements (or take steps to qualify for an exemption to such requirements). In addition, new regulations may require us to comply with margin requirements, although these regulations are not finalized and their application to us is uncertain at this time. Other regulations also remain to be finalized, and the CFTC recently has delayed the compliance dates for various regulations already finalized. As a result, it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the full effects of the Act and CFTC rules on us or the timing of such effects. The Act may also require the counterparties to our derivative instruments to spin off some of their derivatives activities to separate entities, which may not be as creditworthy as the current counterparties. The Act and associated regulations could significantly increase the cost of derivative contracts (including from swap recordkeeping and reporting requirements and through requirements to post collateral which could adversely affect our available liquidity), materially alter the terms of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against risks that we encounter, reduce our ability to monetize or restructure our existing derivative contracts and increase our exposure to less creditworthy counterparties. If we reduce our use of derivatives as a result of the Act and associated regulations, our results of operations may become more volatile and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures. Finally, the Act was intended, in part, to reduce the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, which some legislators attributed to speculative trading in derivatives and commodity instruments related to oil and natural gas. Our revenues could therefore be adversely affected if a consequence of the Act is to lower commodity prices. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

 Our ability to utilize U.S. net operating loss. or NOL, carryforwards to reduce future taxable income is subject to various limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The utilization of such carryforwards may be limited upon the occurrence of certain ownership changes, including the purchase or sale of our stock by 5% shareholders and our offering of stock during any three-year period resulting in an aggregate change of more than 50% in our beneficial ownership. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 of the Code imposes an annual limitation on the amount of our taxable income that can be offset by these carryforwards. As of December 31, 2012,2013, we do not believe that an ownership change has occurred; however, to the extent an ownership change has occurred or were to occur in the future, it is possible that the limitations imposed on our ability to use pre-ownership change losses could cause a significant net increase in our U.S. federal income tax liability and could cause U.S. federal income taxes to be paid earlier than they otherwise would be paid if such limitations were not in effect.

Certain U.S. federal income tax deductions currently available with respect to oil and gas exploration and development may be eliminated as a result of proposed legislation.
President Obama'sObama’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2013 recommended the elimination of certain key U.S. federal income tax incentives currently available to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. These changes include, but are not limited to, the repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for oil and natural gas properties, the elimination of current deductions for intangible drilling and development costs, the elimination of the deduction for United States production activities for oil and gas production, and an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could become effective. The passage of this legislation or any other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could eliminate or postpone certain tax deductions that are currently available with respect to oil and natural gas exploration and development, and any such change could have a material adverse effect on us.

A cyber incident could result in theft of confidential information, data corruption or operational disruption.
The oil and gas industry is dependent on digital technologies to conduct certain exploration, development and production activities. Software programs are used for, among other things, reserve estimates, seismic interpretation, modeling and compliance reporting. In addition, the use of mobile communication is widespread. Increasingly, we must protect our business against potential cyber incidents including attacks.
If our systems for protecting against cyber incidents prove not to be sufficient, we could be adversely affected by unauthorized access to our digital systems which could result in theft of confidential information, data corruption or operational disruption. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify and enhance our protective systems or to investigate and remediate any vulnerabilities.

 Properties

The following map shows the general locations of our oil and gas production investmentsassets as of December 31, 2012:2013:
Facilities

Our headquarters and corporate office is located in Radnor, Pennsylvania and our primary operations are conducted from our office in Houston, Texas. We also have district operations facilities at various locations in Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. All of our office facilities are leased with the exception of our district operations facilities in Scottsville, Texas. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs.

Title to Oil and Gas Properties
Prior to completing an acquisition of producing oil and gas assets, we review title opinions on all material leases. However, as is customary in the oil and gas industry, we make only a cursory review of title to farmout acreage and when we acquire undeveloped oil and gas leases. Prior to the commencement of drilling operations, a thorough title examination is conducted. To the extent the title examination reflects defects, we cure such title defects. If we are unable to cure any title defect of a nature such that it would not be prudent to commence drilling operations on a property, we could suffer a loss of our investment in the property. Our oil and gas properties are subject to customary royalty interests, liens for debt obligations, current taxes and other burdens that we believe do not materially interfere with the use or materially affect the value of such properties. We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our properties and the associated oil and natural gas in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and gas industry.

In 2013, our proved undeveloped reserves increased by 14.8 MMBOE. We experienced negative revisions due to locations that are not expected to be drilled during a five-year period primarily in the Haynesville Shale (8.3 MMBOE), Cotton Valley (7.1 MMBOE), Selma Chalk (3.7 MMBOE) and all other locations combined, including the Granite Wash and Marcellus Shale (1.0 MMBOE). We also experienced downward revisions in the Eagle Ford Shale due primarily to the elimination of certain locations (2.2 MMBOE) and revisions to existing locations (2.5 MMBOE) attributable to changes in our development plans including the effects of reduced down-spacing. The balance of negative revisions (0.3 MMBOE) is attributable to non-participation and lease expirations partially offset by improved pricing. Extensions, discoveries and other additions were substantially attributable to our activities in the Eagle Ford Shale and our purchases of reserves were exclusively attributable to the 2013 EF Acquisition. In addition, we converted 3.6 MMBOE from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves, consisting of 11 gross (8.9 net) wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 2 gross (0.5 net) wells in the Granite Wash. During 2013, we incurred capital expenditures of approximately $80 million in connection with the conversion of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves.
Preparation of Reserves Estimates and Internal Controls
The proved reserve estimates were prepared by Wright & Company, Inc., our independent third party petroleum engineers. For additional information regarding estimates of proved reserves and other information about our oil and gas reserves, see the Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) in our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the report of Wright & Company, Inc., prepared for us and dated January 27, 2014, which is included as an Exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We did not file any reports during the year ended December 31, 2013 with any federal authority or agency with respect to our estimate of oil and gas reserves.
Our policies and practices regarding the recording of reserves are structured to objectively and accurately estimate our oil and gas reserve quantities and present values in compliance with the SEC’s regulations and GAAP. Our Manager ofVice President, Operations & Engineering is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserve estimate by our independent third party engineers, Wright & Company, Inc. Our Manager ofVice President, Operations & Engineering has over 2728 years of industry experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserve information, holds a B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University and is licensed by the State of Texas as a Professional Engineer. Our internal controls over reserve estimates include reconciliation and review controls, including an independent internal review of assumptions used in the estimation.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond our control. For additional information about the risks inherent in our estimates of proved reserves, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Qualifications of Third Party Petroleum Engineers
The technical person primarily responsible for review of our reserve estimates at Wright & Company, Inc. meets the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Wright & Company, Inc. is an independent firm of petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists and petro physicists; they do not own an interest in our properties and are not employed on a contingent fee basis.

For additional information about the risks inherent in our estimates of proved reserves, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Summary of Oil and Gas Reserves
Proved Reserves
The following tables present certain information regarding our proved reserves as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The proved reserve estimates presented below were prepared by Wright & Company, Inc., independent petroleum engineers. For additional information regarding estimates of proved reserves and other information about our oil and natural gas reserves, see the Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the report of Wright & Company, Inc., which is included as an Exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We did not file any reports during the year ended December 31, 2012 with any federal authority or agency with respect to our estimate of oil and natural gas reserves.

In 2012, our proved undeveloped reserves decreased by 9.1 MMBOE to 66.5 MMBOE as of December 31, 2012 from 75.6 MMBOE as of December 31, 2011. We experienced negative revisions of 19.6 MMBOE, consisting of 10.5 MMBOE due to lower natural gas pricing and 9.1 MMBOE due to locations that are not expected to be drilled during a five-year period (primarily in the Selma Chalk and Haynesville plays), non-participation and lease expirations. Extensions, discoveries and other additions of 14.6 MMBOE were attributable exclusively to our activities in the Eagle Ford Shale. We had a decrease of 0.6 MMBOE due to the sale of our properties, including proved undeveloped locations, in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. In addition, we converted 3.5 MMBOE from proved undeveloped to proved developed classification, consisting of 16 wells in the Eagle Ford Shale (2.4 MMBOE) and six wells in the Granite Wash (1.1 MMBOE).

During 2012, we incurred capital expenditures of approximately $116.9 million in connection with the conversion of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves.

Delivery Commitments
We generally sell our oil, NGL and natural gas products using short-term floating price physical and spot market contracts. Although it is not our general practice, from time to time we enter into certain transactions in which we provide production commitments extending beyond one month. As of December 31, 2012,2013, we did not have any material commitments to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of our products beyond the current month.

Our total net acreage decreased by approximately 80 percent in 2012 due to the sale of our legacy properties in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. The primary terms of our remaining leases generally range from three to five years and we do not have any concessions. As of December 31, 2012,2013, our net undeveloped acreage is scheduled to expire as shown in the table below, unless the primary lease terms are, where appropriate, extended, held by productionHBP or otherwise changed:

We do not believe that the scheduled expiration of our undeveloped acreage will substantially affect our ability or plans to conduct our exploration and development activities. The acreage expiring in 2013 is located primarily in the Anadarko Basin and the Marcellus Shale, areas that are not integral to our capital program.
 
Item 3Legal Proceedings
AlthoughSince December 2013, we may, from time to time, behave been involved in litigationan arbitration with Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“MHR”), the seller in our 2013 EF Acquisition. The arbitration relates to disputes we have with MHR regarding contractual adjustments to the purchase price for the 2013 EF Acquisition and claims arising outsuspense funds that we believe MHR is obligated to transfer to us. On February 3, 2014, both we and MHR submitted initial briefs describing our respective positions to the arbitrator. MHR has acknowledged that it owes us approximately $26.5 million; we believe the amount is higher. Both parties are scheduled to submit rebuttals to the initial briefs on March 3, 2014. We expect this matter to be resolved early during the second quarter of 2014.
See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8,“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” for a more detailed discussion of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. In addition, wecontingencies. We are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us, under the various environmental protection statutes to which we are subject.

In 2013, our crude oil and NGL production represented the majority of our total production consistent with our strategy to become a more liquids-focused oil and gas exploration and production company. As illustrated in the table above and as discussed further in the Key Developments and Results of Operations that follow, crude oil and NGL production was 65 percent of our total production for 2013 and the revenues generated from liquids production represented 88 percent of our total product revenues. Consistent with this strategic shift in investment and operational focus, we realized significantly higher cash operating margins. Our cash operating margin increased $20.84 per BOE, or 83 percent, to $46.06 per BOE in 2013 from $25.22 per BOE in 2011. Due primarily to the growth in cash operating margins, our cash provided by operating activities also increased significantly each successive year, despite higher interest payment requirements associated with our increased leverage. In 2013, cash from operating activities increased $116.8 million, or 81 percent, to $261.5 million from $144.7 million in 2011.
Our growth in crude oil and NGL production has been focused almost exclusively in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. Since our initial lease acquisition in this region in 2010, we have drilled or acquired and turned in line 179 gross (116.7 net) total wells (operated and non-operated) through February 19, 2014. Our growth plans accelerated in April 2013 with the 2013 EF Acquisition and additional leasehold acquisitions, both of which increased the scope and scale of our Eagle Ford Shale operations. Accordingly, our cash paid for capital expenditures grew to $504.2 million, excluding the 2013 EF Acquisition, in 2013 from $370.9 in 2012 and is projected to be up to approximately $640 million in 2014. This contemplates a total of up to six operated rigs in the Eagle Ford Shale for 2014 as compared to an average of two prior to the 2013 EF Acquisition.
Our expansion in the Eagle Ford Shale and our overall shift in investment to liquids-focused opportunities has been financed over the past several years by a combination of cash from operating activities, the sale of non-core assets, borrowings under the Revolver and a mix of debt and equity offerings. Our most recent financing transaction occurred in April 2013 with the private placement and subsequent registration of $775 million of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020, or 2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes were used to finance a portion of the 2013 EF Acquisition as well as adjust our total capitalization by retiring our high-cost $300 million of 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016, or 2016 Senior Notes resulting in an annual reduction of interest payments of $5.6 million. We also issued 10 million shares of common stock to the seller in connection with the 2013 EF Acquisition.
Key Developments

Currently, theThe following general business developments and corporate actions had or will have an importanta significant impact on the financial reporting and disclosure of our financial position, results of operations financial position and cash flows: (i) drilling results inand future development plans for the Eagle Ford Shale, (ii) the 2013 EF Acquisition, (iii) the amendment, or Amendment, of the Revolver, and other plays, (ii) continuing to shift the focusborrowing base redetermination thereunder, (iv) the sale of our production from natural gas to oil and NGLs, (iii) entering into a new five-year revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, (iv) completing an offering of common and preferred stock,gathering assets in South Texas, (v) selling our legacy West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia natural gas assets and related restructuring and exit activities and (vi) hedging a portion of our oil and natural gas production through calendar year 20142015 to the levels permitted by theour Revolver and our internal policies. We believe that these actions will provide sufficient liquidity inpolicies, (vi) the tender offer and the redemption, or the Tender Offer and the Redemption, of our 2016 Senior Notes and (vii) the private placement and subsequent registration of our 2020 Senior Notes to finance the 2013 so that we will be able to fund our capital program.
EF Acquisition, the Tender Offer and the Redemption.
Drilling Results and Future Development Plans
for the Eagle Ford Shale
During 2012,2013, we drilled a total of 32.7 net49 gross (30.8 net) successful wells, including 29.5 netand our joint venture partner drilled seven (2.8 net) successful non-operated wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 3.2 net wells in the Mid-Continent.Shale. We also drilled one (0.5 net) well that is currently under evaluation.
During 2012, we drilled 35 gross (29.5 net) operated wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, all of which were successful. Since December 2012, we have completed two gross (1.9 net) wells, bringing the total to 69 gross (56.2 net) producing wells, with three gross (2.7 net) wells being drilled. The initial 30-day average gross production rate for 59 of these wells with a 30-day production history was 651 BOEPD. Our Eagle Ford Shale production was approximately 6,37711,169 net BOEPD during 2012,2013 and 13,111 net BOEPD during the fourth quarter of 2013 with oil comprising approximately 8478 percent, NGLs approximately nine12 percent and natural gas approximately seven10 percent. In the Eagle Ford Shale, we have a total of 179 gross (116.7 net) producing wells, 13 gross (10.1 net) operated wells completing or waiting on completion, two gross (0.9 net) outside operated wells being completed, six gross (4.2 net) operated wells being drilled and no outside operated wells being drilled as of February 19, 2014. While our production during the fourth quarter was consistent with previous guidance, we had a number of wells brought on line later than anticipated and these wells did not contribute as much to the fourth quarter results as we had expected. In addition, our non-operated partner has suspended its drilling program. In response, we have increased our operated drilling rig count to six rigs where we intend to remain during 2014, subject to market conditions.
The average total drilling and completion cost per frac stage for our operated Eagle Ford Shale wells was approximately $380,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, as compared to $390,000 in the third quarter of 2013. In addition to the sequential decrease in costs per frac stage, our well productivity per stage increased as a result of pumping additional proppant and the continued use of multi-well pads and “zipper fracs.” A total of 22 of our recently drilled wells were drilled off of ten multi-well pads, with an average effective nominal spacing of approximately 60 acres.
We have allocated approximately 88118,000 gross (80,000 net) acres as of February 19, 2014, which to a large extent are contiguous and the majority of which are in the “volatile oil window” of the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 96,800 gross (70,300 net) acres are operated by us.

Acquisition and Integration of New Eagle Ford Shale Assets
We closed the 2013 EF Acquisition on April 24, 2013, or the Acquisition Date, and acquired approximately 40,600 gross (17,700 net) mineral acres, including producing and undeveloped property, located in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas most of which was adjacent to our existing Eagle Ford Shale position. The 2013 EF Acquisition was originally valued at $401 million with an effective date of January 1, 2013, or the Effective Date. On the Acquisition Date, we paid approximately $380 million in cash, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments related to the period from the Effective Date to the Acquisition Date utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes offering, and issued to the seller 10 million shares of our common stock, or Shares, with a fair value of $4.23 per Share. Shortly after the Acquisition Date, certain of our joint interest partners exercised preferential rights related to the 2013 EF Acquisition. We received approximately $21 million from the exercise of those rights, which was recorded as a decrease to the purchase price of the 2013 EF Acquisition. In September 2013, the seller divested all of the Shares. See Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” for information regarding an arbitration in which we are involved with the seller.
The 2013 EF Acquisition included working interests in 46 gross (22.1 net) producing wells. At the time of the 2013 EF Acquisition, the estimated net oil and gas production for the acquired assets was approximately 2,700 BOEPD. Based on the seller’s third-party reserve engineering firms year-end 2012 review of the acquired assets, proved reserves were approximately 12.0 MMBOE, 96 percent of which were oil and NGLs and 37 percent of which were proved developed.
Revolver Amendment and Borrowing Base Redetermination
The Revolver was amended in October 2013 to increase the revolving commitment from $350 million to $400 million. Concurrently, the borrowing base under the Revolver was increased from $350 million to $425 million. The Amendment also provides for an extension of the current maximum leverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 through June 30, 2014 and allows the Revolver’s administrative agent to replace any lender who fails to approve a borrowing base increase approved by lenders representing two thirds of the aggregate commitment.
Sale of South Texas Natural Gas Gathering Assets
In December 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our natural gas gathering assets in South Texas. The sale was completed in January 2014 and provided net proceeds of approximately $94 million, net to our working interest. Accordingly, the net carrying value of these assets is included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of current assets.
Commodity Hedging Activities
We have hedged approximately 70 percent of our anticipated capital expendituresestimated crude oil production for the first half of 2014 and approximately 65 percent for the second half of 2014 at a weighted-average floor price of $93.55 per barrel. In addition, we have hedged approximately 40 percent of our estimated natural gas production through the third quarter of 2014 at a weighted-average floor price of $4.13 per MMBtu and approximately 15 percent for the 2014 - 2015 winter at a weighted-average floor price of $4.50 per MMBtu.
Tender Offer and Redemption of the 2016 Senior Notes
In April 2013, we initiated the Tender Offer for any and all of the $300 million principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes. Holders of approximately 58% of the 2016 Senior Notes tendered their notes. The total consideration payable for each $1,000 principal amount of those 2016 Senior Notes tendered was $1,065.34, which included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount. In April 2013, we paid approximately $191 million, including accrued interest of $6.5 million, for the 2016 Senior Notes tendered. In May 2013, we made an irrevocable election in connection with the Redemption to redeem the remaining 42% of the 2016 Senior Notes outstanding in accordance with the 2016 Senior Notes indenture. We paid a total of $1,061.31 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes, or approximately $140 million, including accrued interest of $5.3 million, in connection with the Redemption. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the Tender Offer and the Redemption, including non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes.
Issuance of 2020 Senior Notes
On April 24, 2013, we completed a private placement of $775 million of 2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes were priced at par and interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our material subsidiaries, or Guarantor Subsidiaries. Approximately $380 million of the net proceeds from the private placement were used to finance the cash consideration for the 2013 EF Acquisition, including initial purchase price adjustments. The remaining net proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under the Revolver and to fund a portion of the Tender Offer and the Redemption. In July 2013, we completed an exchange offer to register of all of the 2020 Senior Notes.

______________________
1 Comprised primarily of production from our Eagle Ford Shale wells as well as our Pearsall Shale and Austin Chalk wells.
2 Subsequent to the sale of our Appalachian natural gas properties in July 2012, our remaining production from this region is provided by 3 gross (3.0 net) wells in the Marcellus Shale.
Total production increased during 2013 compared to 2012 due primarily to the 2013 EF Acquisition and the continued expansion of our development program in the Eagle Ford Shale. The increase was partially offset by the effect of the sale of our Appalachian natural gas properties in July 2012 along with natural production declines in our East Texas and Mid-Continent regions. The effect of the sale of the Appalachian properties was approximately 741 MBOE. Approximately 65% of total production during 2013 was attributable to oil and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 41% over the prior

30



year. During 2013, our Eagle Ford Shale production represented approximately 60% of our total production as compared to approximately 36% from this play during 2012.

Gain (Loss) on Sales of Property and Equipment
In 2013, we recognized losses related to certain properties in West Virginia associated with our 2012 sale of Appalachian natural gas assets as well as certain post-closing adjustments for other asset sales that occurred in prior years. In 2012, we recognized a gain attributable to the sale of substantially all of our Appalachian natural gas assets. In addition, we recognized several individually insignificant gains and losses on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well material during both periods.
Other Revenues
Other revenues, which includes gathering, transportation, compression and water disposal fees and other miscellaneous operating income, net of marketing and related expenses, decreased during 2013 due primarily to accretion expense attributable to our unused firm transportation obligation in the Appalachian region partially offset by a gain of $1.6 million on the sale of certain proprietary seismic data. Total accretion expense recognized during 2013 was $1.7 million representing a full year as compared to $0.6 million for one quarter in 2012.

to remove submersible pumps and replace them with rods and pumps. We also incurred higher water disposal and chemical costs associated with our increased oil production. These increases were partially offset by the effect of the sale of our higher-cost Appalachian natural gas properties in July 2012.

Production and nine gross (8.1 net) development wells in Lavaca County, Texas drilled under a joint exploration agreement with an industry partner that we entered into in December 2011ad valorem taxes increased during 2013 due primarily to jointly explore a 13,500 acre area of mutual interest, or AMI. Under the terms of the agreement, we were required to commenceour increased leasing and drilling on six wells by September 1, 2012, as well as carry our partner for its working interest share of the costs of the first three wells, to earn our entire interest in the acreage. We fulfilled this requirement during the third quarter of 2012 and as a result, earned an approximately 60 percent interest in the acreage.

In December 2012, our 40 percent industry partner in the Lavaca County Eagle Ford Shale acreage elected to not participate in the last 17 initial unit wells to be drilled on this acreage. Upon the drilling of each of the initial unit wells, our industry partner will have no participatory rights in any subsequent wells drilled in such unit. We are presently seeking a partner to acquire a 40 percent working interest in the acreage in which our industry partner has elected not to participate.

Our remaining Eagle Ford Shale wells are located in Gonzales County, Texas. We are the operator of all of our Gonzales County acreage with an average working interest of approximately 84 percent.

In addition to the acreage earned in Lavaca County, we acquired approximately 4,100 net acresactivities in the Eagle Ford Shale in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, TexasCounties. In addition, we recognized approximately $4 million of non-recurring credits in the 2012 period for approximately $10 million, increasingseverance tax rebates on certain horizontal and ultra-deep natural gas wells in Oklahoma and Texas.

Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to approximately 32,500 net acres.
Production Focus

Since 2011,stock options and restricted stock units, which represent non-cash expenses, decreased during 2013 due primarily to fewer employees receiving grants. We incurred transaction costs associated with the 2013 EF Acquisition including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees, as well as certain integration expenses including transition accounting services, settlement statement audit fees and costs to convert acquired land and related records for use in our systems. In 2013, we have allocated approximately 80 percentinitiated a project to replace certain of our capital expendituresprimary information technology platforms with an integrated ERP system that became operational during the first quarter of 2014. Accordingly, we incurred certain costs including those associated with the preliminary project analysis, data conversion from our legacy systems, backfill labor and end-user training that were not subject to explorecapitalization. Restructuring charges during the 2012 period include employee termination benefits and develop oil- and NGL-rich areasa provision for lease costs attributable to exit activities in connection with the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 56 percentsale of our total production during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was attributable to oil and NGLs, an increase of approximately 21 percent over the corresponding prior year period. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, approximately 83 percent of our product revenues were attributable to oil and NGLs, an increase of approximately 17 percent over the corresponding prior year period.Appalachian assets.

The following table sets forth the components of a New Credit Facility
In September 2012, we entered into the Revolver to replace our previous revolving credit facility that was entered into in August 2011. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving credit commitment and an accordion feature to expand commitment amounts by up to an aggregate of $300 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimitexploration expenses for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver has an initial borrowing base of $300 million, which is $70 million higher thanperiods presented:

Unproved leasehold amortization declined during 2013 as costs related to successful Eagle Ford Shale wells were transferred to proved properties. In addition, due to the borrowing base under our previous revolving credit facility at the time it was replaced by the Revolver. The applicable interest rate margin under the Revolver ranges from LIBOR plus 1.50 percent to LIBOR plus 2.50 percent, depending upon the amount drawn as a percentagesignificance of the commitment. This rate is unchanged from our previous credit facility. The maximum leverage ratio (net debt divided by EBITDAX, as definedunproved acreage acquired in the Revolver)2013 EF Acquisition, our unproved property in the Eagle Ford Shale is 4.50 through December 31,now considered a “significant leasehold” and is not subject to systematic amortization. For further discussion of this matter, see “Critical Accounting Estimates — Oil and Gas Properties.” Geological and geophysical costs increased during 2013 4.25 through June 30, 2014 and 4.00 through maturity in 2017. The borrowing base underdue primarily to the Revolver will be re-determined based on a semi-annual reviewpurchase of certain seismic data for the South Texas region. Delay rentals decreased during 2013 due primarily to the sale of our total proved crudeAppalachian natural gas properties.

The effect of higher overall production volumes and higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production were the primary factors attributable to the increase in DD&A. Our average DD&A rate increased due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our drilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale as well as lower natural gas reserves startingdue to revisions.

CommonGranite Wash in the Mid-Continent, $9.5 million in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and Preferred Stock Offering

$0.9 million in the Selma Chalk in Mississippi, in each case due primarily to market declines in current and expected future commodity prices. In OctoberJune 2012, we completedrecognized a registered offering of 9.2$28.4 million sharesimpairment of our common stock that provided approximately $44Appalachian assets triggered by the expected disposition of those properties and a $75.0 million of proceeds net of underwriting fees and issuance costs. Concurrently, we completed a registered offering of 1,150,000 depositary shares each representing 1/100th interest in a shareimpairment of our 6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the 6% Preferred Stock, that provided approximately $110 million of proceeds net of underwriting fees and issuance costs. The proceeds from the combined offerings were usedMarcellus Shale assets due primarily to fully repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and for general corporate purposes.

Disposition of Appalachian Assets

In July 2012, we sold our legacymarket declines in natural gas assetsprices and the resultant reduction in West Virginia, Kentuckyproved natural gas reserves. We also recognized impairments of certain tubular inventory and Virginia for approximately $100 million, excluding transaction costs and before customary purchase and sale adjustments. The assets sold included vertical and horizontal coalbed methane and vertical conventional properties, a gathering system and royalty interests. These assets had net production of approximately 20 MMcfe per day (3,333 BOEPD) and estimated proved reserves of approximately 106 Bcfe (17.7 MMBOE), of which 96 percent was proved developed and almost 100 percent was natural gas. An impairment charge of $28.6 million was recognizedwell materials in the second quarter of 2012 with respectdue primarily to these assets.declines in asset quality.

Loss on Firm Transportation Commitment
During 2012, we recorded certain restructuring and exit costs in connection with the sale, including those attributable to the closing of our office in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Furthermore, weWe have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result2022. Subsequent to the sale of the sale,our natural gas assets in that region in 2012, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. While we intend to sell our unused firm transportation in the future to the extent possible,As a result, we recorded a charge of $17.3 million during the third quarter ofin 2012 representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract.

Commodity Hedging Activities
For Accretion of this liability for 2013 we have approximately 58 percentand 2012 has been recorded as a component of our estimated oil production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $97.35 and $100.99 per barrel. For 2014, we have approximately 16 percent of our estimated oil production hedged at a weighted-average swap price of $100.33 per barrel.

For 2013, we have approximately 55 percent of our estimated natural gas production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of $3.76 and $4.19 per MMBtu. We have 5,000 MMBtu per day hedged in the first quarter of 2014 with a floor/swap and ceiling prices of $4.00 and $4.50 per MMBtu. We do not have any NGLs hedged.Other revenues.

 $(324,551)  
Weighted-average interest rate8.23% 8.62%    
Interest expense increased during 2013 due primarily to higher overall weighted-average debt outstanding and a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt with higher interest rates in the 2013 period as compared to a larger proportion of Revolver borrowings at lower variable interest rates in 2012. The increase was partially offset by higher capitalized interest resulting from the significant increase in the value of our proved undeveloped and unproved properties following the 2013 EF Acquisition. For further discussion of this matter, see “Critical Accounting Estimates — Oil and Gas Properties.”
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In May 2013, we completed the Tender Offer and the Redemption for all of our outstanding 2016 Senior Notes. We paid a total of $330.9 million including consent payments and accrued interest in connection with the Tender Offer and Redemption and recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt included non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes. When we entered into the Revolver in September 2012, we expensed issuance costs of $3.2 million attributable to our previous revolving credit facility.

We paid net cash settlements of $1.0 million, all of which were attributable to commodity derivatives, during 2013 and $29.7 million, including $1.2 million attributable to the termination of an interest rate swap agreement, during 2012. The loss in the 2013 period is due primarily to period-end oil prices exceeding hedged prices as well as a substantially lower volume of natural gas production being hedged during 2013 period as compared to 2012.

The decline in total production during 2012 compared to 2011 was due primarily to natural production declines as well as the effect of the sale of our Appalachian and Arkoma Basin natural gas properties in July 2012 and August 2011, respectively. The effect of the sale of the Appalachian properties was approximately 4.4 Bcfe (700 MBOE) and the Arkoma Basin properties was approximately 2.0 Bcfe (333 MBOE). The natural declines in production from our remaining natural gas properties were partially offset by an increase in oil, NGL and natural gas production attributable to our drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 48% of total production in 2012 was attributable to oil and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 43% over the previous year. During 2012, our Eagle Ford Shale production of 2,334 MBbl MBOE

36



represented approximately 36% of our total production. We hadproduction, which represents an increase of approximately 852 MBbls of production from this play during 2011.25% over the previous year.

As illustrated below, higher oil production volume coupled with improved oil prices were the significant factors for increasing revenues. The increase was partially offset by lower natural gas and NGL production volumes and prices. Included in the price variance for natural gas was approximately $0.7 million of unfavorable adjustments attributable to the change in prices associated with gas imbalances due to us from partners in the Mid-Continent region.

Effects of Derivatives
Our oil and gas revenues may change significantly from period to period as a result of changes in commodity prices. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge oil and gas prices. In 2012 and 2011, we received $28.3 million and $23.6 million, respectively, in cash settlements of oil and gas derivatives.
The following table reconciles crude oil and natural gas revenues to realized prices, as adjusted for derivative activities, for the periods presented:

Gain on Sales of Property and Equipment
In the third quarter of 2012, and as further adjusted in the fourth quarter, we recognized a gain of $3.3 million onattributable to the sale of certainsubstantially all of our Appalachian natural gas assets for proceeds of $95.7 million, net of transaction costs. In 2011, we sold approximately 2,700 net undeveloped acres in Butler and Armstrong counties in Pennsylvania for proceeds of $8.1 million, net of transaction costs, and recognized a gain of $3.3 million. We also recognized a gain of $0.6 million in 2012 attributable to the sale of our remaining undeveloped acreage in those counties. In addition, we recognized several individually insignificant gains on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well material during both 2012periods.
Production and 2011.
Other Income
Other income, which includes ancillary gathering, transportation, compression and water disposal fees and other miscellaneous operating income net of marketing and related expenses, was relatively unchanged during 2012 as compared to 2011.

Lease operating expense decreased on an absolute basis during 2012 due primarily to the effect of the sale of our higher-cost Appalachian and Arkoma Basin natural gas properties. In addition to the effect of property sales, we incurred lower repair and maintenance expenses and lower compression costs during 2012. Cost decreases were partially offset by higher environmental and regulatory compliance, chemical treatment, field contracting and well tending costs attributable to our significantly expanded oil drilling program.

Production and ad valorem taxes decreased during 2012 due primarily to the recognition of Oklahoma severance tax rebates of $2.8 million attributable to horizontal and ultra-deep wells for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011. Reductions were also recognized for production taxes on certain Texas wells in 2012 and for a property tax recovery onattributable to West Virginia wells in 2011. Production taxes also decreased due to the Appalachian asset saleand Arkoma Basin natural gas properties sales as well as lower overall natural gas volumes and prices in 2012 as compared to 2011. As a percentage of product revenues, production and ad valorem taxes decreased to 3.4% during 2012 from 4.6% during 2011.

Recurring general and administrative expenses decreased due to reduced headcount and lower support costs following the sale of our Appalachian and Arkoma Basin natural gas properties. Liability-classified share-based compensation is attributable to our performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs, which were issued for the first time in 2012. The 2012 whichgrant of PBRSUs are payable in cash in 2015 upon achievement of specified market-based performance metrics. Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to stock options and restricted stock units which represent non-cash expenses, decreased during 2012 due primarily to a lower number of awards granted. Restructuring expenses for both the 2012 and 2011 periods include employee termination benefits and office relocation costs. The 2012 charge includes a provision for lease costs associated with the closing of our Canonsburg, Pennsylvania office,

35



partially offset by a favorable adjustment to the lease obligation for our former Tulsa, Oklahoma office due to a change in estimated sub-lease rental income.

Unproved leasehold amortization declined during 2012 as costs related to successful Eagle Ford Shale wells were transferred to proved properties. Geological and geophysical costs decreased during 2012 because our efforts in 2012 were concentrated on development drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale whereas in 2011 we conducted exploratory prospect activities in multiple areas. Dry hole costs in 2011 related to several unsuccessful wells in the Mid-Continent region. We also recorded rig-relateddrilling rig standby charges in 2011 in connection with the suspension of our exploratory drilling program in the Marcellus Shale.

The effect of lower overall production volumes on DD&A was more than offset by higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production. Our average DD&A rate increased to $31.68 per BOE for 2012 from $20.95 per BOE for 2011 due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our oil wellsdrilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale as well as lower natural gas reserves due to revisions.

In 2012, we recognized a $28.4 million impairment of our legacyAppalachian natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia triggered by the expected disposition of thesethose properties, and a $75.0 million impairment of our Marcellus Shale assets due primarily to market declines in natural gas prices and the resultant reduction in proved natural gas reserves. In 2012, we also recognized an impairment of certain tubular inventory and well materials triggered primarily by declines in asset quality. In 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin natural gas assets for $71.1 million, which was triggered by the expected disposition of those properties. Also during 2011, we recognized impairments of our horizontal coal bed methane properties in the Appalachian region for $26.6 million and certain dry-gas properties in Mississippi for $6.8 million, in each case due primarily to market declines in natural gas prices.

Loss on Firm Transportation Commitment

We have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result of the recently completed sale of our West Virginia, Kentucky and VirginiaAppalachian natural gas assets in 2012, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. Accordingly, we recorded a charge of $17.3 million during the third quarter ofin 2012 representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract.

Operating Expense
During 2011, we recorded a reserve of $0.2 million for litigation attributable to properties that were previously sold. This matter was ultimately settled in January 2012 for the reserved amount. In addition, we wrote down certain gas imbalance assets in 2011 that originated in prior years due to lower settlement rates.

Weighted-average interest rate8.6% 9.9%    
The issuance of our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019, or the 2019 Senior Notes, and borrowings under the Revolver, partially offset by the repurchase of approximately 98% of our outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, or the Convertible Notes, with an effective interest rate of 8.5%, resulted in an approximate $107 million higher weighted-average balance of debt outstanding during 2012 compared to 2011. Accordingly, interest expense increased due to a higher average outstanding principal balance despite lower effective interest rates attributable to the 2019 Senior Notes and the Revolver. Capitalized interest was lower during 2012 due to lower carrying values on eligible capital projects.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
 
When we entered into the Revolver in September 2012, we expensed issuance costs of $3.2 million attributable to our previous revolving credit facility. During 2011, we expensed $1.2 million attributable to a change in the composition of the bank syndicate for our previous revolving credit facility. The repurchase in April 2011 of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.2 million. The loss was comprised of the excess of cash paid for the liability component over the carrying value, plus the write-off of a pro rata share of debt issuance costs and incremental fees paid in cash.

We received cash settlements of $29.7 million during 2012 and $27.4 million during 2011. The cash settlements in 2012 and 2011 included $1.2 million and $2.9 million attributable to the termination of our interest rate swap agreements during those periods. The increase in the unrealizedcommodity derivative gain on commodity derivatives was due primarily to oil and natural gas prices declining below our hedged prices.

Other
Other income decreased during 2012 due primarily to lower interest income earned on average cash balances.

Income Taxes
The effective tax benefit rate during 2012 was 39.6% compared to 39.9% for 2011.

Certain results in the tables above may not calculate due to rounding.      
The decline in production during 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to the lack of any significant natural gas drilling since mid-2010 and the subsequent natural production declinesproducts as well as the effect of selling our high-cost Arkoma Basin natural gas properties. The effect of the sale of the Arkoma Basin properties was approximately 2.0 Bcfe (333 MBOE). The natural gas production decline was substantially offset by an increase in oil and NGL production attributable to our drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 28% of total production in 2011 was attributable to oil and NGLs, an increase

40



over the previous year of approximately 59%. During 2011, our Eagle Ford Shale production of 852 MBbls represented approximately 11% of our total production. We had no production from this play in 2010.

Gain on Sales of Property and Equipment
In December 2011, we sold approximately 2,700 net undeveloped acres in Butler and Armstrong Counties in Pennsylvania for proceeds of $8.1 million, net of transaction costs, and recognizedthese commodities are driven by a gain of $3.3 million. In addition, we recognized several individually insignificant gains on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well materials during both 2011 and 2010.

Lease Operating
Lease operating expense increased during 2011 due primarily to higher employee-related and environmental compliance costs as well as higher work-over costs, particularly in the East Texas region. In addition, certain other costs, including water disposal, chemical treatment and general repairs and maintenance were generally higher commensurate with higher oil and NGL volume during 2011. These cost increases were partially offset by lower compression costs attributable to lower natural gas production in 2011 and our ongoing efforts to rationalize certain compression assets in our more mature producing regions in Appalachia and Mississippi.

Gathering, Processing and Transportation
Gathering, processing and transportation charges increased during 2011 due primarily to both higher processing costs and related volumes associated with NGL production. Due to lower overall natural gas volumes, particularly in the Appalachian region, we were unable to recover the cost of all of our unused firm transportation capacity.
Production and Ad Valorem Taxes
Production and ad valorem taxes decreased on an absolute basis due to marginally lower production in 2011 as well as a decrease in the severance tax rate imposed by the State of Oklahoma on certain wells during the second half of 2011. We also recorded a property tax recovery from prior periods of $1.2 million in 2011 attributable to wells located in West Virginia. In 2010, we recorded ad valorem tax settlements of $1.4 million with certain jurisdictions that were also attributable to prior periods. As a percentage of revenue, excluding the recovery and settlements, production and ad valorem taxes decreased to 5.0% in 2011 from 6.1% during 2010.
General and Administrative
The following table sets forth the components of general and administrative expenses for the periods presented:

Recurring general and administrative expenses decreased due to lower employee headcount and lower support costs from restructuring actions taken during 2011 and 2010. Share-based compensation charges decreased during 2011 due primarily to a smaller number of awards that vested upon grant due to retirement eligibility. Restructuring expenses during 2011 included termination benefits, officefactors beyond our control including global and employee relocationregional product supply and lease costs attributable to the restructuring following the sale of our Arkoma Basin properties. Restructuring expenses during 2010 included termination benefitsdemand, weather, product distribution, refining and officeprocessing capacity and employee relocation costs as well as a $3.5 million charge related to the assignment of the lease of our former Kingsport, Tennessee office.other supply chain dynamics, among others.

The increase in dry hole costs was attributable primarily to four gross (2.7 net) unsuccessful wells in the Mid-Continent region during 2011 as compared to three gross (1.2 net) during 2010 in the same region. Geological and geophysical costs reflected a larger exploration program in 2011. The increase in amortization of unproved leaseholds was due primarily to significant acquisitions during 2010. In addition, we incurred rig-related charges during the 2011 period in connection with the suspension of our drilling program in the Marcellus Shale.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
The following tables set forth the nature of the DD&A variances for the periods presented:

Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 2010$1,849
 $(29,683) $(27,834)
The effect of lower overall production volume on DD&A was more than offset by higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production. Our average depletion rate increased to $20.95 per BOE for 2011 from $17.12 per BOE for 2010 due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our oil wells in the Eagle Ford Shale.

During 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin assets for $71.1 million, which was triggered by the expected disposition of these high-cost gas properties. Also during 2011, we recognized impairments of our horizontal coal bed methane properties in the Appalachian region for $26.6 million and certain dry-gas properties in Mississippi for $6.8 million, in each case due primarily to market declines in gas prices. During 2010, we incurred impairment charges related to our Mid-Continent coal bed methane properties as a result of market declines in gas prices and to an area in the Anadarko Basin of the Mid-Continent region where we drilled an uneconomic well. In addition, we recorded impairment charges attributable to certain oil and gas inventory assets triggered primarily by declines in asset quality.
Other
During 2011, we recorded a reserve of $0.2 million for litigation attributable to properties that were previously sold. This matter was ultimately settled in January 2012 for the reserved amount. In addition, we wrote down certain gas imbalance assets that originated in prior years due to lower settlement rates. During 2010, we recorded a loss on the disposition of our Gulf Coast properties.

The issuance of the 2019 Senior Notes at 7.25% and borrowings under the Revolver, partially offset by the repurchase of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes with an effective interest rate of 8.5%, resulted in an approximate $88 million higher weighted-average balance of debt outstanding during 2011 compared to 2010. Accordingly, interest expense increased due to a higher average outstanding principal balance despite lower effective interest rates attributable to the 2019 Senior Notes and the Revolver. Capitalized interest was lower during 2011 due to lower carrying values on eligible capital projects.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
The repurchase in April 2011 of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.2 million. The loss was comprised of non-cash charges for the excess of cash paid for the liability component over the carrying value, plus the write-off of a pro rata share of debt issuance costs and incremental transaction fees paid in cash. In addition, we recognized a charge of $1.2 million in August 2011 attributable to a change in the composition of the bank syndicate for our previous revolving credit facility.

We received cash settlements of $27.4 million during 2011 and $32.8 million during 2010. The amount received in 2011 included $2.9 million attributable to the termination of our interest rate swap.

Other
Other income decreased due primarily to lower interest income earned on average cash balances during 2011 and gains on the sale of non-operating investments recognized during 2010.

Income Taxes
The effective tax benefit rate for continuing operations during 2011 was 39.9% compared to 39.6% for 2010. Due to the operating losses incurred, we recognized an income tax benefit during both periods. In addition, the effective tax rate for 2011 included a deferred tax asset valuation allowance due primarily to the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain state net operating losses.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have no debt maturities until 2016. Our business strategyplan contemplates capital expenditures in excess of our projected cash from operating cash flowsactivities for 2013.2014 and 2015. Subject to the variability of commodity prices and production that impact our cash from operating cash flows,activities, anticipated timing of our capital projects and unanticipated expenditures such as acquisitions, we plan to fund our 20132014 capital program with cash from operating cash flows andactivities, borrowings under the Revolver.

InRevolver, proceeds from the sales of non-core assets and supplemental issues of debt and equity, if appropriate. We have no debt maturities until September 2012, we entered into2017 when the Revolver which replacedmatures. We believe that our previous revolving credit facility. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving commitment, including a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional aggregate of $300 million upon receiving additional commitmentscash from one or more lenders. The Revolver is governed by aoperating activities, borrowing base calculation, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. The initial borrowing base under the Revolver is $300 million and will be re-determined based on a semi-annual review of our total proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves starting in the spring of 2013. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017.

As of February 15, 2013, we had $270.2 million of unused borrowing capacity available to us under the Revolver. The borrowing capacity is determined by reducing the revolving commitment of $300 million by outstanding borrowings of $28.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $1.8 million.

The following table summarizes our borrowing activity under the Revolver and the projected proceeds from the sales of non-core assets will be sufficient to meet our previous credit facility duringdebt service, preferred stock dividend and working capital requirements as well as our anticipated capital expenditures.
Capital Resources
In 2014, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding any acquisitions, of up to approximately $640 million. Based on expenditures to date and forecasted activity for the periods presentedremainder of 2014, we expect to allocate 98 percent of our capital expenditures to the Eagle Ford Shale. This allocation includes approximately 85 percent for drilling and completions, 11 percent for leasehold acquisition and four percent for pipeline, gathering, seismic, facilities and other projects. The total forecasted activity assumes a drilling program utilizing a total of up to six operated drilling rigs in the Eagle Ford Shale. For a detailed analysis of our historical capital expenditures, see the
Cash Flows discussion that follows. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend in any area based on available opportunities, industry conditions, cash from operating activities and the overall availability of capital.

Cash From Operating Activities. Our revenues arecash from operating activities is subject to significant volatility as a result ofdue primarily to changes in commodity prices.prices for our products and variations in our production. Accordingly, we actively manage the exposure of our operating cash flowsrevenues to commodity price fluctuations by hedging the commodity price risk for a portion of our expected production, typically through the use of collar, swap and swaption contracts. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the instruments employed depend on our cash flow at risk, available hedge prices and our operating strategy. During 2012,2013, our commodity derivatives portfolio provided $8.4resulted in $2.6 million of net cash inflowspayments related to lowerhigher than anticipated prices received for our oil production and $19.9provided $1.6 million of net cash inflowsreceipts attributable to lower than anticipated prices received for our natural gas production.
 
For 2013, weWe have hedged approximately 5870 percent of our estimated crude oil production for the first half of 2014 and approximately 65 percent for the second half of 2014 at weighted average floor/swap and ceiling pricesa weighted-average floor price of between $97.35 and $100.99$93.55 per barrel. In addition, we have hedged approximately 5540 percent of our estimated natural gas production for 2013,through the third quarter of 2014 at a weighted average floor/swapweighted-average floor price of $4.13 per MMBtu and ceiling pricesapproximately 15 percent for the 2014 - 2015 winter at a weighted-average floor price of $3.76 and $4.19$4.50 per MMBtu.

In addition to recurring payments for production and lifting costs, production and ad valorem taxes and general and administrative costs, our most significant operating cash outflows are attributable to debt service costs. Historically, we have also made operating cash payments with respect to restructuring programs and certain costs for other transactions, including the 2013 EF Acquisition. For a detailed analysis of our historical cash flows from operating activities, see the Cash Flows discussion that follows.

Revolver Borrowings. The Revolver provides for a $400 million revolving commitment and has a borrowing base of $425 million. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $200 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is redetermined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. The next semi-annual redetermination is scheduled for May 2014. The Revolver allows for the administrative agent to replace any lender who fails to approve a borrowing base increase approved by lenders representing two thirds of the aggregate commitment. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017.


We had letters of credit of $2.7 million outstanding as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $191.3 million. Excluding the impact of any potential asset sales, we anticipate our borrowing base to increase upon the next scheduled redetermination in May 2014 due to our expanded drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale.

Proceeds from Asset Sales. In January 2014, we sold our natural gas gathering assets in South Texas for proceeds of approximately $94 million, net to our working interest, and we recently began a process to sell our Granite Wash and Selma Chalk assets. For a detailed analysis of our historical proceeds from asset sales, see the Cash Flows discussion that follows.
Capital Market Transactions. From time-to-time and under market conditions that we believe are favorable to us, we will consider capital market transactions, including the offering of debt and equity securities. Historically, we have entered into such transactions generally to facilitate certain transactions, including the 2013 EF Acquisition, and to pursue opportunities to adjust our total capitalization. For a detailed analysis of our historical proceeds from capital market transactions, see the Cash Flows discussion that follows.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Due primarily to the realization ofActivities. Higher realized cash flows from higher net margins on our expanding crudeoperating margin oil production as well as the receipt of a federal tax refund of approximately $32 million,and NGL operations resulted in an increase in our cash flows from operating activities improved significantly during 20122013 as compared to 2011. During2012. When comparing 2013 and 2012, wethe higher realized cash flows were partially offset by (i) higher amounts paid for interest during the 2013 period due to higher average outstanding Revolver balances and a higher level of outstanding senior indebtedness, (ii) the receipt of a significant federal income tax refund during 2012, (iii) the realization of substantially lower net settlements from our commodity derivatives portfolio as compared to 2011during 2013 due primarily to realized crude oil prices exceeding hedged prices as well as a significantly lower volume of natural gas prices. We paid higher amounts for interest during 2012production subject to hedges, (iv) the payment of transaction costs, including advisory, legal, due to higher average outstanding debt balancesdiligence and higher average interest rates. During 2011, we paid incremental transaction costsother professional fees in connection with the extinguishment of the Convertible Notes, as well as costs attributable to the change in the composition of the bank syndicate in connection with our former credit facility. Restructuring2013 EF Acquisition during 2013 and (v) higher restructuring and exit costs paid were higher in 2012 as compared to 2011payments during 2013 due primarily to the larger scale of restructuring activities during 2012, which included, among other costs, ongoing contractual payments for firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region subsequent to our sale of assets in that region and payments to terminate the lease of our former office in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.region.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Activities.
We paid approximately $380 million for the 2013 EF Acquisition. This amount includes: (i) approximately $379 million, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments, paid to the seller at settlement, (ii) approximately $22 million, net paid subsequent to the Acquisition Date to settle obligations assumed in the 2013 EF Acquisition and (iii) the receipt of approximately $21 million of proceeds received from certain of our joint interest partners upon the exercise of their preferential rights with respect to the 2013 EF Acquisition.
Capital expenditures were lowersubstantially higher during 2013 as compared to 2012 due primarily to a higher level of drilling activity and facilities construction attributable to the expansion of our focus on Eagle Ford Shale drilling. During most of 2012 we operated only two rigs in this area while 2011 included up to four rigs operating in several regions. During 2011, we acquired significant acreageoperations in the Eagle Ford Shale and had a more extensive capital program in the Mid-Continent region in the first half of the year. During 2011, we also acquired approximately $12 million of proppant chemicals that were used in our well completion activities in the latter part of 2011 and the first half of 2012.

Proceeds from sales of non-core properties and other assets were received during 2012 and 2011. The amounts received during 2012 were attributable primarily to the sale of our West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia properties. The amounts received in 2011 were attributable primarily to the sale of our Arkoma Basin properties and a portion of our undeveloped acreage in Butler and Armstrong Counties.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Activities. In April 2013, we issued the the 2020 Senior Notes which were used to fund the 2013 EF Acquisition and a portion of the Tender Offer and the Redemption of our outstanding 2016 Senior Notes. We incurred and paid costs associated with the issuance of the 2020 Senior Notes as well as costs associated with an amendment to our Revolver. Cash flows from financing activities included the combined offering of preferred and common stock in 2012 which provided $153.8 million of proceeds,for 2013 include net of underwriting fees and issuance costs. These proceeds were used primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. During 2011, we issued $300 million of 2019 Senior Notes, offset substantiallyRevolver while the 2012 period includes net repayments under the Revolver which were funded by the repurchaseproceeds from the sale of approximately 98% ofour Appalachian natural gas assets and a federal income tax refund. Dividends paid in the Convertible Notes and related transaction costs. We retired the remaining Convertible Notes upon their maturity in November 2012. Both years included the payment of debt issuance costs2013 period were attributable to our credit facilities6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the 6% Preferred Stock, and dividend payments ondividends paid in 2012 were attributable to our common stock.

Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities, or Adjusted LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). In each case, the applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of December 31, 2013, the actual interest rate applicable to the Revolver was 2.1875% which is derived from an Adjusted LIBOR rate of 0.1875% plus an applicable margin of 2.0%. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of February 15,December 31, 2013, the actual interestcommitment fees are charged at a rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver was 1.75%of 0.500%.
The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2016 Senior Notes. The Senior Notes due 2016, or the 2016 Senior Notes, bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375% payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2016 Senior Notes were sold at 97% of par in June 2009, equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The 2016 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2016 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2019 Senior Notes. The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019, or the 2019 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

45



2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2013, bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
6% Preferred Stock. The annual dividend on each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2013.year. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.

Each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $6.00 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 1,666.67 shares of our common stock for each share of the 6% Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20 percent relative to the 2012 common stock offering price of $5.00 per share. The 6% Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after October 15, 2017, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the 6% Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder

49



elects to convert shares of the 6% Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value.

Asset Dispositions
As discussed previously, we completed a number of non-core asset dispositions in 2012Covenant Compliance. The Revolver and 2011the indentures associated with our senior notes require us to supplementmaintain certain financial and non-financial covenants. These covenants impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends as well as our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make certain loans, acquisitions and investments, make any material change to the fundingnature of our capital expenditures programs. The following table summarizesbusiness, or enter into a merger or sale of our assets, including the net cash realized from these dispositions during the years endedsale or transfer of interests in our subsidiaries, among other requirements. As of December 31, 20122013 and 2011:through the date upon which our Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Covenant Compliance

In the event that we would be in default of a covenant under the Revolver, we could request a waiver of the covenant from our bank group. Should the banks deny our request to waive the covenant requirement, the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver would become payable on demand and would be reclassified as a component of current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Revolver requires us to maintain certain financial covenants as follows:
 
Total debt to EBITDAX, each as defined in the Revolver, for any four consecutive quarters may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 for periods through December 31, 2013,June 30, 2014, 4.25 to 1.0 for periods through June 30,December 31, 2014 and 4.0 to 1.0 for periods through maturity in 2017. EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP measure, generally means net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, exploration expenses, impairments and other non-cash charges or losses.
The current ratio, as of the last day of any quarter, may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The current ratio is generally defined as current assets to current liabilities. Current assets and current liabilities attributable to derivative instruments are excluded. In addition, current assets include the amount of any unused commitment under the Revolver.

The indentures for our senior notes include an incurrence test which is determined by an interest coverage ratio, as defined in the indentures. The interest coverage ratio may not be less than 2.25 times consolidated EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure.
As of December 31, 2012 and through the date upon which the Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The following table summarizes the actual results of our financial covenant compliance under the Revolver and senior note indentures as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012:2013:
  Required Actual
Description of Covenant Covenant Results
Total debt to EBITDAX < 4.54.50 to 1 2.43.7 to 1
Current ratio > 1.01.00 to 1 3.41.7 to 1
Interest coverage> 2.25 to 13.5 to 1
In the event that we would be in default of a covenant under the Revolver, we could request a waiver of the covenant from our bank group. Should the banks deny our request to waive the covenant requirement, the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver would become payable on demand and would be reclassified as a component of current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Revolver imposes limitations on dividends as well as limits our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make certain loans, acquisitions and investments, make any material change to the nature of our business, or enter into a merger or sale of our assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in our subsidiaries.
 
Future Capital Needs and Commitments

In 2013, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding any additional acquisitions, of up to approximately $400 million. The capital expenditures for 2013 will be funded primarily by operating cash flows and borrowings under the Revolver. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend in any area based on available opportunities, industry conditions, cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of capital.
Based on expenditures to date and forecasted activity for the remainder of 2013, we expect to allocate capital expenditures as follows: Eagle Ford Shale (approximately 88 percent), Mid-Continent region (approximately four percent) and all other areas (approximately eight percent). This allocation includes approximately 86 percent for development and

5046



exploratory drilling, eight percent for leasehold acquisition and six percent for seismic and other projects. We anticipate that we will allocate substantially all of our capital expenditures to oil and NGL projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to material off-balance sheet obligations. As of December 31, 2012,2013, the material off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into included operating lease arrangements, well drilling commitments, hydraulic fracturing service commitments, firm transportation agreements and letters of credit, all of which are customary in our business. See Contractual Obligations summarized below for more details related to the value of our off-balance sheet arrangements. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Environmental Matters
Extensive federal, state and local laws govern oil and natural gas operations, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. Numerous governmental departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws that are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations, such as plugging of abandoned wells. As of December 31, 2012, we have recorded asset retirement obligations of $4.5 million attributable to these activities. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. These laws, rules and regulations affect our operations, as well as the oil and gas exploration and production industry in general. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless,

51



changes in existing environmental laws or regulations or the adoption of new environmental laws or regulations, including any significant limitation on the use of hydraulic fracturing, have the potential to adversely affect our operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if the actual results differ from these estimates and judgments. We consider the following to be the most critical accounting estimates requiring judgment of our management.
Oil and Gas Reserves
The estimatesEstimates of our oil and gas reserves are the single most critical estimate included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Reserve estimates become the basis for determining depletive write-off rates, recoverability of historical cost investments and the fair value of properties acquired as well as those subject to potential impairments. There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserve quantities, including projecting the total quantities in place, future production rates and the amount and timing of future development expenditures. In addition, reserve estimates of new discoveries are less precise than those of producing properties due to the lack of a production history. Accordingly, these estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
There are several factors which could change ourthe estimates of our oil and gas reserves. Significant rises or declines in commodity product prices could lead to changes in the amount of reserves as production activities become more or less economical. An additional factor that could result in a change of recorded reserves is the reservoir decline rates differing from

47



those assumed when the reserves were initially recorded. Estimation of future production and development costs is also subject to change partially due to factors beyond our control, such as energy costs and inflation or deflation of oil field service costs.
Oil and Gas Properties
We use the successful efforts method to account for our oil and gas properties. Under this method, costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells and development costs are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed as oil and gas exploration. We will carry the costs of an exploratory well as an asset if the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and as long as we are making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. For certain projects, it may take us more than one year to evaluate the future potential of the exploratory well and make a determination of its economic viability. Our ability to move forward on a project may be dependent on gaining access to transportation or processing facilities or obtaining permits and government or partner approval, the timing of which is beyond our control. In such cases, exploratory well costs remain suspended as long as we are actively pursuing access to the necessary facilities and accessor receiving to such permits and approvals and believe that they will be obtained. We assess the status of suspended exploratory well costs on a quarterly basis.
We assess our proved oil and gas properties for impairment on a geographic basis, generally at the field level, based upon a periodic review of commodity prices and, when available, updated oil and gas reserve data. Generally, we compile updated oil and gas reserve data once during the calendar year and again at year-end on a more formal basis. The assessment is performed by comparing the carrying value of proved properties for each field to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows. Undiscounted estimated future cash flows are based on updated oil and gas reserve data, when available, and include the impact of risk-adjusted probable and possible reserves, future commodity prices, anticipated production and forecasted operating and capital expenditures. Commodity prices are estimated based on five-year NYMEX strip prices, adjusted accordingly for basis differentials and other factors consistent with management’s assumptions utilized for internal planning and budgeting purposes. If, based on the assessment, the carrying value of the proved properties exceeds the undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the cost of the proved properties are written down to fair value. In certain circumstances, significant management judgment is applied to consideration of the results of such assessment described above. Accordingly, it is possible that impairment would not be appropriate for certain properties that failed the objective assessment based on consideration of other factors, including the timeliness of reserve assignment, among others. Likewise, impairment may be appropriate for other properties that otherwise passed the objective assessment based on the trending of prices, lease expirations and future development plans.
A portion of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties is attributable to unproved properties. AtAs of December 31, 2012,2013, the costs attributable to unproved properties, net of accumulated amortization, were $60.7$101.5 million. Unproved properties whose acquisition costs are insignificant to total oil and gas properties are amortized as a component of exploration expense in the aggregate over the lesser of five years or the average remaining lease term. We assess unproved properties whose acquisition costs are relatively significant, if any, for impairment on a property-by-propertystand-alone basis. As exploration work progresses and the reserves on properties are proven, capitalized costs of these properties are subject to depreciation and depletion. If the exploration work is unsuccessful, the capitalized costs of the properties related to the unsuccessful work is charged to exploration expense. The timing of any write-downs of any significant unproved properties depends upon the nature, timing and extent of future exploration and development activities and their results.
For the past several years, we have not had any unproved properties that were deemed significant as described above. Subsequent to the 2013 EF Acquisition our unproved properties in the Eagle Ford Shale are now considered significant and became subject to impairment on a stand-alone basis effective July 1, 2013. Furthermore, we anticipate transferring material amounts representing the cost of unproved leaseholds to proved properties in future periods as our activities in the Eagle Ford Shale continue to be successful. Accordingly, we anticipate that our future charges for unproved leasehold amortization will decline from historical levels.
Considering the magnitude of unproved and proved undeveloped properties acquired, the related indebtedness that we incurred to finance the 2013 EF Acquisition, and timing of the development plans that we have for the Eagle Ford Shale, we anticipate the capitalization of interest costs to increase substantially in future periods. In 2013, we capitalized $5.6 million of interest costs attributable to qualifying activities that are in process to bring our Eagle Ford Shale unproved and proved undeveloped properties into production.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
We determine depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the units-of-production method and these amounts could change with revisions to estimated proved recoverable reserves. We compute depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment using the straight-line balance method over the estimated useful life of each asset.

52



Derivative Activities
From time to time, we enter into derivative instruments to mitigate our exposure to crude oil and natural gas and crude oil price volatility and interest rate fluctuations. The derivative financial instruments, which are placed with financial institutions that we

48



believe are of acceptable credit risks,risk, take the form of collars, swaps and swaptions, among others. All derivative instruments are recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value with the changes recorded currently in earnings. The fair values of our derivative instruments are determined based on discounted cash flows derived from quoted forward prices and rates. All derivative transactions are subject to our risk management policy, which has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized after consideration of future taxable income and reasonable tax planning strategies. In the event that we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a part of our deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance had not been established, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will be reflected in income in the period such determination is made. The most significant matter applicable to the realization of our deferred tax assets is attributable to net operating losses in certain states. Estimates of future taxable income inherently reflect a significant degree of uncertainty. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we increased the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets due primarily to our inability to project sufficient future taxable income in certain states.

Share-Based Compensation
In May 2013 and February 2012, we granted PBRSUs to certain executive officers. Vested PBRSUs are payable in cash on the third anniversary of the date of grant based upon the achievement of specified market-based performance metrics with respect to each of a one-year, two-year and three-year performance period, in each case commencing on the date of grant. The number of PBRSUs vested can range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant. The PBRSUs do not have voting rights and do not participate in dividends.
Because the PBRSUs are payable solely in cash, they are considered liability-classified awards and are included in the Other liabilities caption on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation cost associated with the PBRSUs is measured at the end of each reporting period based on the fair value derived from a Monte Carlo model and recognized based on the period of time that has elapsed during each of the individual performance periods. The Monte Carlo model is a binomial valuation model that requires significant judgment with respect to certain assumptions, including volatility, dividends and other factors. Due primarily to the sensitivity of certain model assumptions, as well as the inherent variability of modeling market-based performance over future periods, our compensation expense with respect to the PBRSUs can be volatile.

 New Accounting Standards
During 2012, no new accounting standards wereEffective January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or were pendingASU 2013-02. The disclosures required by ASU 2013-02 are included in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption that wouldof ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or theand Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7A        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
Interest Rate Risk
All of our long-term debt instruments, with the exception of the Revolver, have fixed interest rates. Accordingly, changes in interest rates do not affect the amount of interest we pay on our fixed-rate debt instruments. However, changes in interest rates will affect the fair value of our long-term debt instruments. Our interest rate risk is attributable to our borrowings under the Revolver, which is subject to variable interest rates. As of December 31, 2012,2013, we had no borrowings of $206 million under the Revolver.
Revolver at an interest rate of 2.1875%. Assuming a constant borrowing level of $206 million under the Revolver, an increase (decrease) in the interest rate of one percent would result in an increase (decrease) in interest expense of approximately $2.1 million on an annual basis.
Commodity Price Risk

We produce and sell crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. As a result, our financial results are affected when prices for these commodities fluctuate. Our price risk management programs permit the utilization of derivative financial instruments (such as collars, swaps and swaptions) to seek to mitigate the price risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices as they relate to a portion of our anticipated production. The derivative instruments are placed with major financial institutions that we believe are of acceptable credit risk. The fair values of our derivative instruments are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. We have not typically entered into derivative instruments with respect to NGLs, although we may do so in the future.
 
As of December 31, 2012,2013, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $16.5$5.4 million. The contracts associated with this position are with six counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with three of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. We neither paid nor received

49



collateral with respect to our derivative positions. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts that may be owed to us by these counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk if counterparties to our derivative asset positions fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts would be equal to the fair value of the contracts as of December 31, 2012.2013.
In 2012,During the year ended December 31, 2013, we reported net commodity derivative gainslosses of $34.8$20.9 million. We have experienced and could continue to experience significant changes in the estimate of derivative gains or losses recognized due to fluctuations in the value of our derivative instruments. Our results of operations are affected by the volatility of unrealized gains and losses and changes in fair value, which fluctuate with changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. These fluctuations could be significant in a volatile pricing environment.  See Note 5 to theour Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of our price risk management activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Penn Virginia Corporation:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Penn Virginia Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012.2013. We also have audited Penn Virginia Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Commission. Penn Virginia Corporation's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Penn Virginia Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the results of itstheir operations and itstheir cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012,2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Penn Virginia Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. 
Nature of Operations
Penn Virginia Corporation (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs"(“NGLs”) and natural gas in various domestic onshore regions of the United States including Texas,States. Our current operations consist primarily of the drilling of unconventional horizontal development wells in shale formations and are currently concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also have operations in the Granite Wash in the Mid-Continent Mississippi(primarily Oklahoma), the Haynesville Shale and to a lesser extent,Cotton Valley in East Texas and the Marcellus ShaleSelma Chalk in Appalachia.Mississippi.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
 
Preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include certain asset and liability valuations as further described in these notes.Notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
 
From time to time, we utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to commodity price and interest rate volatility. The derivative instruments, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are of acceptable credit risks,risk, take the form of collars, swaps and swaptions. All derivative transactions are subject to our risk management policy, which has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors.
 
All derivative instruments are recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. The fair values of our derivative instruments are determined based on discounted cash flows derived from quoted forward prices. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges. We recognize changes in fair value in earnings currently as a component of the Derivatives caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have experienced and could continue to experience significant changes in the amount of unrealized derivative gains or losses recognized due to fluctuations in the value of these commodity derivative contracts, which fluctuate with changes in crude oil and natural gas prices.prices and interest rates. 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
We use the successful efforts method to account for our oil and gas properties. Under this method, costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells and development costs are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed as oil and gas exploration. We will carry the costs of an exploratory well as an asset if the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and as long as we are making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. For certain projects, it may take us more than one year to evaluate the future potential of the exploratory well and make a determination of its economic viability. Our ability to move forward on a project may be dependent on gaining access to transportation or processing facilities or obtaining permits and government or partner approval, the timing of which is beyond our control. In such cases, exploratory well costs remain suspended as long as we are actively

63



pursuing access to the necessary facilities and access toor receiving such permits and approvals and believe that they will be obtained. We assess the status of suspended exploratory well costs on a quarterly basis.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of proved producing properties is computed using the units-of-production method. Natural gas is converted to a liquids equivalent on the basis that six thousand cubic feet of natural gas is equivalent to one barrel of liquids. Historically, we have adjusted our depletion rate throughout the year as new data becomes available and in the fourth quarter based on our year-end reserve report.

58



Other Property and Equipment 
Other property and equipment consists primarily of gathering systems and related support equipment. Property and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures for additions and improvements, such as roads and land improvements, which increase the productive lives of existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments, which extend the useful life of the properties, are capitalized. 
We compute depreciation and amortization of property and equipment using the straight-line balance method over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Gathering systems - fifteen to twenty years and Other property and equipment - three to twenty years.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Assets
 
We review assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such property. If the carrying value of the asset is determined to be impaired, we reduce the asset to its fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and could include estimates of future production, commodity prices based on published forward commodity price curves as of the date of the estimate, operating and development costs, intent to develop properties and a risk-adjusted discount rate.
We review oil and gas properties for impairment periodically when events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties, such as a downward revision of the reserve estimates or lower commodity prices. We estimate the future cash flows expected in connection with the properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amounts of the properties to determine if the carrying amounts are recoverable. Performing the impairment evaluations requires use of judgments and estimates since the results are dependent on future events. Such events include estimates of proved and unproved reserves, future commodity prices, and the timing of future production, and capital expenditures and intent to develop properties, among others. We have recognized impairments of our properties in 2012, 2011 and 2010, as described in Note 16. We cannot predict whether impairment charges will be required in the future.
The costs of unproved leaseholds, including associated interest costs for the period activities were in progress to bring projects to their intended use, are capitalized pending the results of exploration efforts. Unproved properties whose acquisition costs are insignificant to total oil and gas properties are amortized in the aggregate over the lesser of five years or the average remaining lease term and the amortization is charged to exploration expense. We assess unproved properties whose acquisition costs are relatively significant, if any, for impairment on a property-by-propertystand-alone basis. As exploration work progresses and the reserves on properties are proven, capitalized costs of these properties are subject to depreciation and depletion. If the exploration work is unsuccessful, the capitalized costs of the properties related to the unsuccessful work is charged to exploration expense. The timing of any write-downs of any significant unproved properties depends upon the nature, timing and extent of future exploration and development activities and their results.
Other Property and Equipment
Other property and equipment consists primarily of gathering systems and related support equipment. Property and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures for additions and improvements, such as roads and land improvements, which increase the productive lives of existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments, which extend the useful life of the properties, are capitalized.
We compute depreciation and amortization of property and equipment using the straight-line balance method over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:
Useful Life
Gathering systems15-20 years
Other property and equipment3-20 years
Asset Retirement Obligations
We recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the period in which it is incurred. Associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the asset. Our AROs relate to the plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas wells and the associated asset is recorded as a component of oil and gas properties. After recording these amounts, the ARO is accreted to its future estimated value, and the additional capitalized costs are depreciated over the productive life of the assets. Both the accretion of the ARO and the depreciation of the related long-lived assets are included in the DD&A expense caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes
 
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Using this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. In assessing our deferred tax assets, we consider whether a valuation allowance should be recorded for some or all of the deferred tax assets which may not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period and is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and our ability to utilize tax credits and operating loss carryforwards during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. We also consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies. We recognize interest attributable to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of income tax expense.
 
Due to the geographicalgeographic scope of our operations, we are subject to ongoing tax examinations in numerous domestic jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may record incremental tax expense based upon the more-likely-than-not outcomes of uncertain tax positions. In addition, when applicable, we adjust the previously recorded tax expense to reflect examination results when the position is effectively settled. Our ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of the examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well as impact our operating results. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain.

Revenue Recognition
 
We record revenues associated with sales of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas when title passes to the customer. We recognize natural gas sales revenues from properties in which we have an interest with other producers on the basis of our net revenue interest (“entitlement” method of accounting). Natural gas imbalances occur when we sell more or less than our entitled ownership percentage of natural gas production. We treat any amount received in excess of our share as a liability. If we take less than we are entitled to take, we record the under-delivery as a receivable. As a result of the numerous requirements necessary to gather information from purchasers or various measurement locations, calculate volumes produced, perform field and wellhead allocations and distribute and disburse funds to various working interest partners and royalty owners, the collection of revenues from oil and gas production may take up to 60 days following the month of production. Therefore, we make accruals for revenues and accounts receivable based on estimates of our share of production, particularly from properties that are operated by our partners. We record any differences, which historically have not been significant, between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized.
Share-Based Compensation
 
Our stock compensation plans permit the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, common stock, deferred common stock units, restricted stock and restricted stock units to our employees and directors. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity-classified instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost associated with the liability-classified awards is measured at the end of each reporting period and recognized based on the period of time that has elapsed during the applicable performance period.
Recent Accounting Standards
 
DuringEffective January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, 2012Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, no new accounting standards were adopted or were pending (“ASU 2013-02”). The disclosures required by ASU 2013-02 are included in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption that wouldof ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or theand Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the 2011 and 2010 periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated all activities of the Company, through the date upon which our Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, and concluded that, except for recent developments regarding an arbitration process with respect to our Eagle Ford Shale acquisition in 2013 (the “2013 EF Acquisition”) and the completion of the sale of our natural gas gathering assets in South Texas as discussed in Note 3, no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions 
On April 24, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired producing properties and undeveloped leasehold interests in the Eagle Ford Shale play in connection with the 2013 EF Acquisition. The 2013 EF Acquisition was originally valued at $401 million with an effective date of January 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). On the Acquisition Date, we paid approximately $380 million in cash, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments related to the period from the Effective Date to the Acquisition Date utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the private placement of $775 million of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Notes”), and issued to the seller 10 million shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $4.23 per Share. Shortly after the Acquisition Date, certain of our joint interest partners exercised preferential rights related to the 2013 EF Acquisition. We received approximately $21 million from the exercise of these rights, which was recorded as a decrease to our purchase price for the 2013 EF Acquisition.
We incurred $2.6 million of transaction costs associated with the 2013 EF Acquisition, including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees. These costs, as well as fees that we paid to the seller for certain transition services, have been included in the General and administrative caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Since 2013, we have been involved in an arbitration with Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“MHR”), the seller in our 2013 EF Acquisition. The arbitration relates to disputes we have with MHR regarding contractual adjustments to the purchase price for the 2013 EF Acquisition and suspense funds that we believe MHR is obligated to transfer to us. On February 3, 2014, both we and MHR submitted initial briefs describing our respective positions to the arbitrator. MHR has acknowledged that it owes us approximately $26.5 million; we believe the amount is higher. Both parties are scheduled to submit rebuttals to the initial briefs on March 3, 2014. We expect this matter to be resolved early during the second quarter of 2014.
We accounted for the 2013 EF Acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting as of the Acquisition Date. The initial accounting for the 2013 EF Acquisition as presented below is based upon preliminary information and was not complete, due primarily to the aforementioned arbitration, as of the date our Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.

In the following paragraphs, all references to crudethree months ended December 31, 2013, we recorded certain measurement period adjustments based on the receipt of additional information which had the effect of decreasing the fair value of our oil and natural gas reservesproperties by $14 million offset by increases to accounts receivable of $46 million and acreageaccounts payable and accrued expenses of $32 million. Accordingly, we have updated the preliminary fair values of net assets acquired or sold are unaudited.from those that were disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013. The factors we used to determinefollowing table represents the fair market valuevalues assigned to the net assets acquired as of acquisitionsthe Acquisition Date and the consideration transferred:

Cash, net of amounts received for preferential rights $358,239
Fair value of the Shares issued to seller 42,300
Consideration transferred $400,539
The fair values of the acquired net assets were measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to valuation of oil and gas properties include butestimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future cash flows and (v) a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. Because many of these inputs are not limitedobservable, we have classified the initial fair value estimates as Level 3 inputs as that term is defined in U.S. GAAP.
The results of operations attributable to discountedthe 2013 EF Acquisition have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the Acquisition Date. The following table presents unaudited summary pro forma financial information for the periods presented assuming the 2013 EF Acquisition and the related financing occurred as of January 1, 2012.

Divestitures
In December 2011,2013, we entered into an agreement with an industry partner to jointly explore a 13,500 acre area of mutual interest (“AMI”)sell our natural gas gathering assets in Lavaca County,South Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, we were required to commence drilling on six wells by September 1, 2012, as well as carry our partner for its working interest share of the costs of the first three wells, to earn our entire interestThe transaction closed in January 2014 and resulted in the acreage. We fulfilled this requirement during the third quarterreceipt of 2012 and, as a result, earned an approximately 60 percent interest in this acreage.

In December 2012, this industry partner in the Lavaca County Eagle Ford Shale acreage elected to not participate in the last 17 initial unit wells to be drilled on this acreage. Upon the drilling of each of the initial unit wells, our industry partner will have no participatory rights in any subsequent wells drilled in such unit. We are presently seeking a partner to acquire a 40 percent working interest in this acreage in which our industry partner has elected not to participate.

In addition to the acreage earned in Lavaca County, as discussed above, we acquired approximately 4,100 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas in 2012 for approximately $10 million increasing our net Eagle Ford Shale acreage position to approximately 32,500 net acres. During 2011 and 2010, we acquired acreage in Gonzales County for approximately $27 million and $31 million, respectively. We are the operator of all of our Gonzales County acreage with an average working interestproceeds of approximately 84 percent.

Oil and Gas Properties
$94 million, net to our working interest.
In July 2012, we sold substantially all of our legacy natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia, which comprised a significant portion of our operations in Appalachia, for approximately $100 million, excluding transaction costs and before customary purchase and sale adjustments. Through December 31, 2012, weWe received proceeds of $95.7 million, net of transaction costs and customary closing adjustments, and recognized a gain of $3.3 million in connection with the transaction. The assets sold included vertical and horizontal coalbed methane and vertical conventional properties, a gathering system and royalty interests. These assets had net production of approximately 20 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (3,333 barrels of oil equivalent) and estimated proved reserves of approximately 106 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (17.7 million barrels of oil equivalent), of which 96 percent was proved developed and almost 100 percent was natural gas. An impairment charge of $28.6 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2012 with respect to these assets.

In December 2011, we sold approximately 2,700 net undeveloped acres in Butler and Armstrong Counties in Pennsylvania for proceeds of $8.1 million, net of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $3.3 million in connection with this transaction.

In August 2011, we sold a substantial portion of our Arkoma Basin assets, including primarily natural gas and coal bed methane properties in Oklahoma and Texas, for approximately $30 million, excluding transaction costs and customary purchase and sale adjustments. Upon the final settlement, we recognized an insignificant loss in connection with the transaction, following an impairment of approximately $71 million in the second quarter of 2011. The sale included primarily natural gas and coal bed methane

During 2013, the payment of post-closing adjustments attributable to sales of properties comprising approximately 73,000from prior years were partially offset by net acres in Oklahoma and Texas with proved reserves of approximately 37.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.

In January 2010, we completedproceeds from the sale of all of our assets in the Gulf Coast region (southern Texas and Louisiana) for cash proceeds of $23.4 million, net of transaction costs and certain purchase and sale adjustments, and the receipt of certainindividually insignificant oil and gas properties locatedand tubular inventory and well materials resulting in net payments of $0.1 million and a recognized loss on the Gwinville field in northern Mississippi valued at $8.2 million.

Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (“PVG”) Unit Offerings
In a series of transactions that occurred during 2009tubular inventory and 2010, we sold common units of PVG (“PVG Common Units”) owned by us resulting in a reduction of our limited partner interest in PVG to 22.6 percent. Because we maintained a controlling financial interest in PVG, the proceeds received from these transactions were reported as cash flows from financing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In June 2010, we completed the sale of our remaining PVG Common Units for $139.1 million, net of offering costs. Immediately prior to the closing, we contributed our membership interests in PVG’s general partner to PVG, thereby relinquishing control of PVG. As a result of this divestiture, we recognized a gain of $51.5 million, net of income tax effects of $35.1 million, which is reported in the “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax” caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because we no longer held any interests in PVG, the proceeds received from this transaction were reported as cash flows from investing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and we deconsolidated PVG from our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have reported PVG’s results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations for the 2010 period. Additional information with respect to discontinued operations is provided in Note 19.well materials.

5.Derivative Instruments
We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to crude oil and natural gas price volatility as well as the volatility in interest rates attributable to our debt instruments. TheOur derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges. The disclosures included herein incorporate the requirements of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities as amended by Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.
Commodity Derivatives
We utilize collars, swaps and swaptions, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are acceptable credit risks, generally take the form of collars, swaps and swaptions. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges.
Commodity Derivatives
We utilize collars, swaps and swaptions to hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with anticipated sales of our future oil and gas production. While the use of derivative instruments limits the risk of adverse price movements, such use may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements.
 
The counterparty to a collar or swap contract is required to make a payment to us if the settlement price for any settlement period is below the floor or swap price for such contract. We are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price for any settlement period is above the ceiling or swap price for such contract. Neither party is required to make a payment to the other party if the settlement price for any settlement period is equal to or greater than the floor price and equal to or less than the ceiling price for such contract. A swaption contract gives our counterparties the option to enter into a fixed price swap with us at a future date. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is higher than or equal to the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the counterparty will exercise its option to enter into a fixed pricefixed-price swap at the

67



swaption strike price for the term of the swaption, at which point the contract functions as a fixed pricefixed-price swap. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is lower than the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the option expires and no fixed pricefixed-price swap is in effect.

We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil closing prices as of the end of the reporting period. The discounted cash flows utilize discount rates adjusted for the credit risk of our counterparties if the derivative is in an asset position, and our own credit risk if the derivative is in a liability position.

Interest Rate Swaps
In February 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to establish variable interest rates on approximately one-third of the outstanding obligation under our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”). In May 2012, we terminated this agreement and received $1.2 million in cash proceeds.

In December 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to establish variable rates on approximately one-third of the face amount of the outstanding obligation under our 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Senior Notes”). In August 2011, we terminated this agreement and received $2.9 million in cash proceeds.

Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2012, we entered into the Revolver, which replaced our previousThe revolving credit facility that was entered into in August 2011. The Revolver(the “Revolver”) provides for a $300400 million revolving commitment and has a borrowing base of $425 million. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an aggregate of $300additional $200 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is redetermined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. The initialnext semi-annual redetermination is scheduled for May 2014. The Revolver allows for the administrative agent to replace any lender who fails to approve a borrowing base underincrease approved by lenders representing two thirds of the Revolver is $300 million and will be redetermined based on a semi-annual review of our total proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves starting in the spring of 2013.aggregate commitment. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017. We had letters of credit of $2.12.7 million outstanding as of December 31, 20122013. As of December 31, 2012,2013, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver as reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was $297.9191.3 million.

In September 2012, we capitalized $2.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolver, which will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the five year term. Capitalized debt issuance costs attributable to the previous revolving credit facility of $3.2 million were expensed as a loss on the extinguishment of debt.
Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity.
As of December 31, 2013, the actual interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver was 2.1875% which is derived from an Adjusted LIBOR rate of 0.1875% plus an applicable margin of 2.00%. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of December 31, 2013, commitment fees were charged at a rate of 0.500%.

The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The guarantees provided by the parent company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Revolver as well as those provided for the senior indebtedness described below are full and unconditional and joint and several. Substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The parent company and its non-guarantor subsidiaries have no material independent assets or operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company or any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to obtain funds through dividends or other means, including advances and intercompany notes, among others.

The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio is defined in the Revolver to include, among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability and may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Revolver, may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2013,June 30, 2014, 4.25 to 1.0 through June 30,December 31, 2014 and then 4.0 to 1.0 through maturity.

We paid a total of par$330.9 million including consent payments and accrued interest in June 2009, equatingconnection with the Tender Offer and the Redemption and recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt included non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to an effective yield to maturitythe write-off of approximately 11%. The 2016 Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375% payable on June 15unamortized debt issuance costs and December 15 of each year. Beginning in June 2013, we may redeem all or part ofthe remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes at a redemption price starting at 105.188% of the principal amount and reducing to 100% in June 2015 and thereafter. The 2016 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

11.Fair Value Measurements
We apply the authoritative accounting provisions for measuring fair value of both our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is an exit price representing the expected amount we would receive upon the sale of an asset or that we would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.
We use a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs we use to measure fair value into three distinct categories based upon whether such inputs are observable in active markets or unobservable. We classify assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our methodology for categorizing assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value pursuant to this hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest level to unobservable inputs as outlined below:below.

74



Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 1 inputs generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs, which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Our financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivatives and long-term debt. As of December 31, 20122013, the carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except the portion of long-term debt with fixed interest rates, approximated fair value.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our long-term debt with fixed interest rates, which is estimated based on the published market prices for these debt obligations as of the dates presented:

Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one level of the fair value hierarchy to another level. In such instances, the transfer is deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the quarterly period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010.

2011.
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values for the financial assets and liabilities described below:
Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and NYMEX Henry Hub gas closing prices as of the end of the reporting periods. We generally use the income approach, using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted value. Each of these is a level 2 input.
Interest rate swaps: We determine the fair values of our interest rate swaps using an income approach valuation technique that connects future cash flows to a single discounted value. We estimate the fair value of the swaps based on published interest rate yield curves as of the date of the estimate. Each of these is a level 2 input.
Assets of SERP: We hold various publicly traded equity securities in a Rabbi Trust as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.
Deferred compensation - SERP obligations and other: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain assets, including those held in the Rabbi Trust. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements includeutilized in the fair valuepreparation of proved properties, tubular inventoryour Consolidated Financial Statements are those attributable to the recognition and well materials for purposesmeasurement of impairment testingnet assets acquired, the recognition and measurement of asset impairments and the initial determination of AROs. The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of impairment testingrecognizing and measuring net assets acquired and asset impairments include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, indicative sales prices for properties, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the amounts as level 3 inputs.

70



The determination of the fair value of AROs is based upon regional market and facility specific information. The amount of an ARO and the costs capitalized represent the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor after discounting the future cost back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using a rate commensurate with the risk, which approximates our cost of funds. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the initial fair value estimates as level 3 inputs.
In addition to these non-recurring fair value measurements, we utilized fair value measurements in the determination of the loss on the extinguishment of approximately 98% of the Convertible Notes. In connection with that determination, we were required to allocate the cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes to its liability and equity components. The allocation to the liability component was based on the fair value of a comparable debt instrument that has no conversion feature. The residual amount of cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes was allocated to the equity component.

Rental Commitments
Operating lease rental expense in the years ended December 31, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 was $11.09.4 million, $11.411.0 million and $14.811.4 million, respectively, related primarily to field equipment, office equipment and office leases.
Drilling and Completion Commitments
We have agreements to purchase oil and gas well drilling and well completion services from third parties with original terms of up to 3two years. As of December 31, 2012,2013, there were no well drilling or well completion agreements with terms that extended beyond June 30, 2013.December 31, 2014. The well drilling agreements include early termination provisions that would require us to pay penalties if we terminate the agreements prior to the end of their original terms. The amount of penalty is based on the number of days remaining in the contractual term and declines as time passes.term. As of December 31, 20122013, the penalty amount would have been $2.019.0 million if we had terminated our agreements on that date.
Firm Transportation Commitments
We have entered into contracts that provide firm transportation capacity rights for specified volumes per day on various pipeline systems with terms that range from 1 to 15 years. The contracts require us to pay transportation demand charges regardless of the amount of pipeline capacity we use. We may sell excess capacity to third parties at our discretion.
Other Commitments
We have entered into certain contractual arrangements for other products and services. We have purchase commitments for certain bulk equipment and materials utilized in the construction of our production facilities, minimum commitments under a natural gas gathering and compression service agreement for a portion of our natural gas and NGL production, information technology licensing and service agreements and certain consulting agreements, among others.
Legal
We are involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that these claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. During 2011, we recorded a $0.2 million reserve for litigation attributable to certain properties that were previously sold. This litigation was settled in January 2012 for the recorded amount. During 2010, we established a $0.9 million reserve for a litigation matter pertaining to certain properties that remains outstanding as of December 31, 20122013. During 2010, we also established a $0.5 millionIn addition to the reserve for litigation, we maintain a sales tax audit contingency,suspense account which was ultimately resolved during 2011 for includes approximately $1.9 million representing the excess of revenues received over costs incurred attributable to these properties. As discussed in Note 3, we are involved in an arbitration with the seller in connection with our 2013 EF Acquisition.$0.3 million.
Environmental Compliance
Extensive federal, state and local laws govern oil and natural gas operations, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. Numerous governmental departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws that are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination, rendering a person

71



liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations, such as plugging of abandoned wells. As of December 31, 20122013, we have recorded AROs of $4.56.4 million attributable to these activities. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. These laws, rules and regulations affect our operations, as well as the oil and gas exploration and production industry in general. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws or the adoption of new environmental laws, including any significant limitation on the use of hydraulic fracturing, have the potential to adversely affect our operations. 

13.Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock

In October 2012, we completed a registered offering of 11,500 shares of our 6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “6% Preferred Stock”) that provided $110.3 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees and issuance costs.

The annual dividend on each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year,

77



commencing on January 15, 2013. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof. OnOur board of directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $150 per share for each of the quarterly periods in the year ended December 20,31, 2013. In December 2012, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $146.67$146.67 per share which reflects the pro rata portion of the regular quarterly cash dividend representingfor the period from the original issue date of October 17, 2012 through January 14, 2013. An obligation for $1.7 million representing this declared dividend is included in the Accounts payable and accrued liabilities caption on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012.

Each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $6.00 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 1,666.67 shares of our common stock for each share of the 6% Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20 percent relative to the 2012 common stock offering price of $5.00 per share. The 6% Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after October 15, 2017, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the 6% Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder elects to convert shares of the 6% Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value.

Common Stock
As discussed in Note 3, we issued the Shares to the seller in April 2013 as part of the consideration paid in connection with the 2013 EF Acquisition. In connection with the Shares issued to the seller, we entered into a Registration Rights, Lock-Up and Buy-Back Agreement and a Standstill Agreement (collectively, the “Share Agreements”) which provided for certain rights and obligations. In September 2013, the seller sold the Shares to institutional investors in a series of private transactions. Accordingly, the Share Agreements no longer have effect.
Concurrent with the 6% Preferred Stock offering in October 2012, we completed a registered offering of 9.2 million shares of our common stock that provided $43.5 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees and issuance costs. The proceeds from the combined offerings were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and for general corporate purposes.

In May 2010,July 2012, we discontinued the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the authorized number of shares ofquarterly dividend on our common stock from 64 million to 128 million shares.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Income (Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income and losses are entirely attributable to our pension and postretirement benefit obligations. The accumulated losses,income (losses), net of tax, were $1.00.3 million, $1.1(1.0) million and $0.9(1.1) million as of December 31, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, respectively.

Shares of our common stock purchased underheld by the non-qualifiedSERP and deferred compensation planscommon stock units that have not been converted into common stock are held in the Rabbi Trust and are presented for financial reporting purposes as treasury stock carried at cost. A total of 218,320233,063 and 223,886218,320 shares have been recorded as treasury stock as of December 31, 20122013 and 20112012, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interests
In connection with the sale of our remaining PVG Common Units (Note 3), we deconsolidated PVG from our Consolidated Financial Statements resulting in the elimination of PVG’s assets and liabilities as well as the related noncontrolling interests from our Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.

14.Share-Based Compensation
Our stock compensation plans (collectively, the “Stock Compensation Plans”The Penn Virginia Corporation 2013 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) permitpermits the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, common stock, deferred common stock units, restricted stock and restricted stock units to our employees and directors. As of December 31, 20122013, there were approximately 2,317,176 and 88,1193,364,758 shares available for issuance to employees and directors respectively, pursuant to the Stock Compensation Plans.LTI Plan.

With the exception of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), all of the awards issued under our Stock Compensation PlansLTI Plan are classified as equity instruments because they result in the issuance of common stock on the date of grant, upon exercise or are otherwise payable in common stock upon vesting, as applicable. The compensation cost attributable

78



to these awards is measured at the grant date and recognized over the applicable vesting period as a non-cash item of expense. Because the PBRSUs are payable in cash, they are considered liability-classified awards and are included in the Other liabilities caption on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation cost associated with the PBRSUs is measured at the end of each reporting period and recognized based on the period of time that has elapsed during each of the individual performance periods.

Stock Options
The exercise price of all stock options granted under the Stock Compensation PlansLTI Plan is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Options may be exercised at any time after vesting and prior to ten years following the date of grant. Options vest upon terms established by the compensation and benefits committee of our board of directors (the “Committee”). Generally, options vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year. In addition, all options will vest upon a change of control of us, as defined in the Stock Compensation Plans.LTI Plan. In the case of employees, if a grantee’s employment terminates (i) for cause, all of the grantee’s options, whether vested or unvested, will be automatically forfeited, (ii) by reason of death disability or retirement after becoming retirement eligible (age 62 and providing 10 consecutive years of service)disability, the grantee’s options will automatically vest and remain exercisable for one year and (iii) for any other reason, the grantee’s unvested options will be automatically forfeited. In the case of directors, if a grantee’s membership on our board of directors terminates for any reason,forfeited and the grantee’s unvestedvested options will be automatically forfeited.remain exercisable for 90 days. If a grantee is or becomes retirement eligible (age 62 and providing 10 consecutive years of service), all of the grantee’s options will vest. We have historically issued new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical changes in the market value of our stock. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately to estimate expected lives. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. We base the risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury rate for the week of the grant having a term equal to the expected life of the option.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 was $2.542.35, $7.302.54 and $10.137.30 per option. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011 was less than $0.1 million and 2010 was $0.4 million and $1.2 million. There were no options exercised during 2012.

As of December 31, 20122013, we had $2.61.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. We expect that cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.50.8 years. The total grant-date fair values of stock options that vested in 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 were $4.72.7 million, $3.74.7 million and $4.63.7 million, respectively.
Common Stock

A portion of the compensation paid to certain non-employee members of our board of directors is paid in common stock. Each share of common stock granted as compensation vests immediately upon issuance. In 2013 and 2012, we granted 77,598 and 79,700 shares of common stock to our non-employee directors at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $5.39 and $5.33 per share.

Deferred Common Stock Units
A portion of the compensation paid to certain non-employee members of our board of directors is paid in deferred common stock units. Each deferred common stock unit represents one share of common stock, vests immediately upon issuance, and is available to the holder upon termination or retirement from our board of directors. Deferred common stock units awarded to directors receive all cash or other dividends we pay on shares of our common stock.

Restricted stock vests upon terms established by the Committee and as specified in the award agreement. In addition, all restricted stock will vest upon a change of control of us. If a grantee’s employment terminates for any reason other than death or disability, the grantee’s restricted stock will be automatically forfeited unless otherwise determined by the Committee and specified in the award agreement. If a grantee’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, or if a grantee becomes retirement eligible, the grantee’s restricted stock will automatically vest. Except as specifieddisallowed by the Committee, a grantee shall be entitled to receive any dividends declared on our common stock. Restricted stock vests generally over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The total grant-date fair valuesvalue of restricted stock that vested in 2011 and 2010 were $0.3 million andwas $0.5 million. There were no unvested restricted stock awards outstanding during 2013 and 2012, and no restricted stock awards vested during 2013 and 2012.

Restricted Stock Units
 
A restricted stock unit entitles the grantee to receive a share of common stock upon the vesting of the restricted stock unit or, at the discretion of the Committee, the cash equivalent of the fair market value of a share of common stock. The Committee determines the time period over which restricted stock units granted to employees and directors will vest. In addition, all restricted stock units will vest upon a change of control of us. Unless and to the extent the Committee determines otherwise, (i) If an employee’s employment with us or our affiliates terminates for any reason other than death, disability or retirement after becoming retirement eligible, the grantee’s restricted stock units will be automatically forfeited unless, and to(ii) if a grantee dies, becomes disabled or becomes retirement eligible, the extent,grantee’s restricted stock units will vest. If restricted stock units vest early on account of retirement eligibility, payment on the Committee provides otherwise.restricted stock units will be made when the restricted stock units would have originally vested, even if that is after retirement. Restricted stock units generally vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year. ThePrior to 2013, the Committee, in its discretion, maycould grant tandem dividend equivalent rights with respect to restricted stock units. Beginning in 2013, the Committee may not grant dividend equivalent rights. A dividend equivalent right is a right to receive an amount in cash equal

80



to, and 30 days after, the cash dividends made with respect to a share of common stock during the period such restricted stock unit is outstanding. Payments of dividend equivalent rights associated with restricted stock units that are expected to vest are recorded as dividends; payments associated with restricted stock units that are not expected to vest are recorded as compensation expense.

The following table summarizes activity for our most recent fiscal year with respect to awarded restricted stock units:

As of December 31, 20122013, we had $0.61.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost attributable to unvested restricted stock units. We expect that cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.81.1 years. The total grant-date fair values of restricted stock units that vested in 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011 were $1.41.7 million, $0.91.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
In May 2013 and February 2012, we granted PBRSUs to certain executive officers. Vested PBRSUs are payable solely in cash on the third anniversary of the date of grant based upon the achievement of specified market-based performance metrics with respect to each of a one-year, two-year and three-year performance period, in each case commencing on the date of grant. The number of PBRSUs vested can range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant. The PBRSUs do not have voting rights and do not participate in dividends.

IfExcept as noted below, if the grantee'sgrantee’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, then the grantee'sgrantee’s PBRSUs will be forfeited and no cash will be payable with respect to any PBRSUs. If the grantee is or becomes retirement eligible which is defined as reaching age 62 and completing 10 years of consecutive service with us or our affiliate, and his or her employment terminates for any reason other than cause prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, then all of the grantee'sgrantee’s PBRSUs will vest and become payable in the amount and at the time the PBRSUs would have otherwise vested and been payable. If the grantee dies or becomes disabled prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, a pro-rated share (based on the number of days employed during the three-year vesting period) of the PBRSUs will vest and the grantee will be paid for such PBRSUs at the target percentage at the end of the end of the original three-year vesting period. In the event of a change in control of us, all of the grantee'sgrantee’s PBRSUs will immediately vest and the grantee will be paid for such PBRSUs following the change in control at the target percentage (regardless of our actual market-based performance) and using the value of our common stock on the effective date of the change in control (calculated as the closing price of our common stock on the effective date of the change in control).

The compensation cost of the PBRSUs is based on the fair value derived from a Monte Carlo model. The Monte Carlo model is a binomial valuation model that utilizes certain assumptions, including expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rates and a measure of total shareholder return.

75



The ranges for the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for the PBRSUs granted in 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
Expected volatility29.3% to 78.0%
Dividend yield0.00% to 5.30%
Risk-free interest rate0.02% to 0.43%

15.Restructuring Activities
DuringIn 2012, we completed an organizational restructuring in conjunction with the sale of our legacy natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. We terminated approximately 30 employees and closed our regional office in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. We recorded a charge in connection with the early termination of the lease of that office. In addition, we have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result of the recently completed sale, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. While we intend to sell our unused firm transportation in the future to the extent possible, we recorded a charge of $17.3 millionrecognized an obligation representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract. The undiscounted amount payable on an annual basis for the each of the next five years is $2.82.7 million and a combined amount of $13.010.3 million will be payable for 20182019 through expiration in 2022.

During 2011, we completed an organizational restructuring due primarily to our sale of Arkoma Basin properties and consolidation of certain operations functions in our Houston, Texas location. We terminated approximately 40 employees and closed our regional office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Accordingly, we recorded a charge and recognized an obligation in connection with the long-term lease of that office. In addition to the accrual of these costs, we adjusted the lease obligation associated with the Tulsa office as a result of a change in estimated sub-lease rental income.
During 2010, we incurred special termination benefit costs in connection with the termination of approximately 30 employees and the transfer of certain corporate and division operations functions from our former Kingsport, Tennessee location. We also incurred a charge for the assignment of the lease of that office and relocation costs and other incremental costs associated with staffing and expanding our other office locations.
The following table summarizes our restructuring-relatedrestructuring and exit activity-related obligations as of and the changes therein for the years ended December 31:

Restructuring charges are included in the General and administrative expenses caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial charge for the firm transportation commitment iswas presented as a separate caption on our Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations andfor the year ended December 31, 2012. The accretion of the relatedthis obligation, net of any recoveries from the periodic sale of our contractual capacity, is charged as an offset to Other revenue.
The current portion of these restructuring and exit cost obligations is included in the Accounts payable and accrued expenses caption and the noncurrent portion is included in the Other liabilities caption on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 2012,31, 2013, $2.7 million of the total obligations are classified as current while the remaining $14.513.4 million are classified as noncurrent.

In 2013, we recognized oil and gas impairments of $121.8 million in the Granite Wash in the Mid-Continent, $9.5 million in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and $0.9 million in the Selma Chalk in Mississippi, in each case due primarily to market declines in current and expected future commodity prices. In 2012, we recognized a $28.4 million impairment of our legacy assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia triggered by the expected disposition of these properties, and a $75.0 million impairment of our Marcellus Shale assets due primarily to market declines in natural gas prices and the resultant reduction in proved natural gas reserves. In 2012, we also recognized an impairment of certain tubular inventory and well materials triggereddue primarily byto declines in asset quality. In 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin assets for $71.1 million, which was triggered by the expected disposition of these properties. Also during 2011, we recognized impairments of our horizontal coal bed methane properties in the Appalachian region for $26.6 million and certain dry-gas properties in Mississippi for $6.8 million, in each case due primarily to market declines in gas prices. In 2010, we recognized an impairment of our Mid-Continent coal bed methane properties as a result of market declines in gas prices and to an area in the Anadarko Basin of the Mid-Continent region where we drilled an uneconomic well. In addition, we recorded impairment charges attributable to certain tubular inventory and well materials triggered primarily by declines in asset quality.

1For purposes of determining earnings per share, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is applied against income from discontinued operations as both are attributable to PVG's operations.
2 Preferred stock dividends were excluded for diluted earnings per share as the assumed conversion of the 6% Preferred Stock would have been anti-dilutive.
32 For 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, approximately 19.219.8 million, 0.119.2 million and 0.20.1 million potentially dilutive securities, including the 6% Preferred Stock, Convertible Notes, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units had the effect of being anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

19.Discontinued Operations
Prior to June 2010, we indirectly owned partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (“PVR”), a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2001. Our ownership interests in PVR were held principally through our general and limited partner interests in PVG. During June 2010, we disposed of our remaining ownership interests in PVG and, indirectly, our interests in PVR and recognized a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $51.5 million, net of income taxes of $35.1 million.
Income from discontinued operations represents the results of operations of PVG, which include the results of operations of PVR. The disclosures for the 2010 period provided in the table below reflect the results of operations of PVG through the date of the disposition of our entire remaining interest in PVG in June 2010.

During 2011, we terminated certain agreements under which PVR provided marketing and gas gathering and processing services to us. In connection with the disposition in 2010, we and PVG entered into transition service agreements attributable primarily to corporate and information technology functions. We billed PVG for transition services in the amount of $0.7 million, net of amounts charged to us by PVG, for the year ended December 31, 2010. This amount is included in the General and administrative caption on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction to expenses.

Oil and Gas Reserves
All of our proved oil and gas reserves are located in the continental United States. The estimates of our proved oil and gas reserves were prepared by our independent third party engineers, Wright & Company, Inc. utilizing data compiled by us. Wright & Company, Inc. is an independent firm of petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists and petro physicists. Our Vice President, Operations & Engineering is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserve estimate by Wright & Company, Inc.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. The quantities of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas that are ultimately recovered, production and operating costs, the amount and timing of future development expenditures and future prices for these commodities may all differ from those assumed. In addition, reserve estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of properties with a production history. Accordingly, these estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Our Manager of Engineering is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the reserve estimate by our independent third party engineers, Wright & Company, Inc. Our Manager of Engineering has over 27 years of industry experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserve information, holds a B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University and is licensed by the State of Texas as a Professional Engineer. Our internal controls over reserve estimates include reconciliation and review controls, including an independent internal review of assumptions used in the estimation.
The technical person primarily responsible for review of our reserve estimates at Wright & Company, Inc. meets the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Wright & Company, Inc. is an independent firm of petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists and petro physicists; they do not own an interest in our properties and are not employed on a contingent fee basis.

Thefollowing table on the following page sets forth our estimate of net quantities of proved reserves, including changes therein and proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves for the periods presented. This information includes our royalty and net working interest share of the reserves in oil and gas properties. All reserves are located in the United States. Net proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves for the three years ended December 31, 2012 were estimated by Wright & Company, Inc. utilizing data compiled by us.presented:

1
We had downward revisions of 6.7 MMBOE primarily as a result of the following: 1) downward revisions of 7.5 MMBOE due to the removal of 200 proved undeveloped locations that would not be developed within five years, 2) upward revisions of 5.7 MMBOE as a result of processing the gas in the Mid-Continent Granite Wash for NGLs, 3) upward revisions of 2.0 MMBOE due to higher prices and 4) various downward revisions for 6.5 MMBOE across our assets as a result of well performance, lease expirations and interest changes.
2
We added 19.1 MMBOE due to the drilling of 16 wells on locations not classified as proved undeveloped locations in our 2010 year-end reserve report and the addition of 51 new proved undeveloped locations, primarily in East Texas, as a result of our 2011 drilling activities .
3
We had downward revisions of 15.6 MMBOE primarily as a result of the following: 1) downward revisions of 12.0 MMBOE due to well performance issues, interest changes and economic limits attributable to operating conditions particularly in the Granite Wash, Cotton Valley and Selma Chalk, 2) downward revisions of 1.7 MMBOE due to lower condensate yield in the Granite Wash, 3) downward revisions  of 1.5 MMBOE attributable to the elimination of proved undeveloped locations particularly in the Haynesville Shale in East Texas, 4) downward revisions of 0.8 MMBOE due to lower natural gas prices and 5) upward revisions of 0.5 MMBOE due to higher gas processing yields in the Haynesville Shale and Granite Wash .
4
We added 19.8 MMBOE due primarily to an increase of 9.0 MMBOE due to the drilling of three Marcellus Shale wells and two Granite Wash wells as well as the addition of 25 proved undeveloped locations in the Marcellus Shale and Selma Chalk. We also drilled 28 Eagle Ford Shale wells and added 26 proved undeveloped locations which resulted in an increase of 10.8 MMBOE .
5
We had downward revisions of 28.7 MMBOE primarily as a result of the following: 1) downward revisions of 5.0 MMBOE due to well performance issues, interest changes and economic limits due to operating conditions, including lease operating expense and basis differentials, primarily in the Selma Chalk, the Granite Wash, the Cotton Valley, and the Haynesville and Marcellus Shales, 2) downward revisions of 15.0 MMBOE due to lower natural gas prices which significantly reduced the number of proved undeveloped locations in the Marcellus Shale and Selma Chalk and 3) downward revisions of 8.7 MMBOE due to the removal of 38 proved undeveloped locations that would not be developed within five years primarily in the Selma Chalk, the Cotton Valley and the Haynesville Shale.
6
We added 18.3 MMBOE due primarily to the drilling of 18 wells and the addition of 48 proved undeveloped locations in the Eagle Ford Shale.

We had downward revisions of 28.4 MMBOE primarily as a result of the following: (i) downward revisions of 20.1 MMBOE due to the removal of proved undeveloped locations that would not be developed within five years primarily in the Haynesville Shale (8.3 MMBOE), Cotton Valley (7.1 MMBOE), Selma Chalk (3.7 MMBOE) and all other locations combined, including the Granite Wash and Marcellus Shale (1.0 MMBOE), (ii) downward revisions in the Eagle Ford Shale due primarily to the elimination of certain locations (2.2 MMBOE) and revisions to existing locations (2.5 MMBOE) attributable to changes in our development plans including the effects of reduced down-spacing, (iii) downward revisions of 5.8 MMBOE due to well performance issues, primarily in the Haynesville Shale, the Cotton Valley and the Selma Chalk and (iv) the effects of non-participation and lease expirations (0.3 MMBOE) partially offset by (v) favorable price revisions (2.5 MMBOE) for oil and natural gas. We added 46.6 MMBOE due primarily to the drilling of 59 gross (34.6 net) wells and the addition of proved undeveloped locations as well as 11.4 MMBOE from the 2013 EF Acquisition in the Eagle Ford Shale.
Year Ended December 31, 2012
We had downward revisions of 28.7 MMBOE primarily as a result of the following: (i) downward revisions of 5.0 MMBOE due to well performance issues, interest changes and economic limits due to operating conditions, including lease operating expense and basis differentials, primarily in the Selma Chalk, the Granite Wash, the Cotton Valley, and the Haynesville and Marcellus Shales, (ii) downward revisions of 15.0 MMBOE due to lower natural gas prices which significantly reduced the number of proved undeveloped locations in the Marcellus Shale and Selma Chalk and (iii) downward revisions of 8.7 MMBOE due to the removal of 38 proved undeveloped locations that would not be developed within five years primarily in the Selma Chalk, the Cotton Valley and the Haynesville Shale.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves 
The following table sets forth the standardized measure of the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved reserves. Future cash inflows were computed by applying the average prices of oil and gas during the 12-month12-month period prior to the period end, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the period and estimated costs as of that fiscal year end, to the estimated future production of proved reserves. Natural gas prices were escalated only where existing contracts contained fixed and determinable escalation clauses. Contractually provided natural gas prices in excess of estimated market clearing prices were used in computing the future cash inflows only if we expect to continue to receive higher prices under legally enforceable contract terms. Future prices actually received may materially differ from current prices or the prices used in the standardized measure.
Future production and development costs represent the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pre-tax net cash flows relating to our proved reserves and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties. In addition, the effects of statutory depletion in excess of tax basis, available net operating lossNOL carryforwards and alternative minimum tax credits were used in computing future income tax expense. The resulting annual net cash inflows were then discounted using a 10% annual rate.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended, and should not be interpreted, to represent the fair value of our oil and gas reserves. An estimate of the fair value would also consider, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and cost, and a discount factor more representative of economic conditions and risks inherent in reserve estimates. Accordingly, the changes in standardized measure reflected above do not necessarily represent the economic reality of such transactions. See “Costs Incurred
Crude oil and natural gas prices were based on average (beginning of month basis) sales prices per Bbl and MMBtu with the representative price of natural gas adjusted for basis premium and energy content to arrive at the appropriate net price. NGL prices were estimated as a percentage of the base crude oil price. The following table summarizes the price measurements utilized, by product, with respect to our estimates of proved reserves as well as in Certainthe determination of the standardized measure of the discounted future net cash flows for the periods presented:
