 Dear Ing. Hinojosa Puebla, 

At the request of Pemex Exploración y Producción (PEP), a wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex),
Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott) has conducted a reserves audit of the estimates of the proved reserves owned by the United Mexican States as of December 31, 2016. The properties reviewed by us are operated by Pemex. The estimates we
audited were prepared by PEP’s engineering and geological staff based on the definitions and disclosure guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission contained in Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Modernization of Oil
and Gas Reporting, Final Rule released January 14, 2009, in the Federal Register (SEC regulations). Our third party reserves audit, completed on February 27, 2017, and presented herein, was prepared for public disclosure by Pemex in
filings made with the SEC in accordance with the disclosure requirements set forth in the SEC regulations. The properties reviewed by Ryder Scott are comprised of those properties contractually awarded to PEP and located in seven areas of operations
known as Activos. The names of these Activos as well as their geographical locations are shown below: 
  

			
	Activo Abkatun-Pol-Chuc	  	Offshore Mexican territorial waters, Gulf of Mexico
	Activo Cantarell	  	Offshore Mexican territorial waters, Gulf of Mexico
	Activo Ku-Maloob-Zaap	  	Offshore Mexican territorial waters, Gulf of Mexico

 The proved net reserves attributable to the properties that we reviewed account for 100 percent of
the total proved net oil equivalent barrels (BOE) of PEP for the Activos listed above. 
 As prescribed by the Society of Petroleum
Engineers in Paragraph 2.2(f) of the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (SPE auditing standards), a reserves audit is defined as “the process of reviewing certain of the pertinent facts
interpreted and assumptions made that have resulted in an estimate of reserves prepared by others and the rendering of an opinion about (1) the appropriateness of the methodologies employed; (2) the adequacy and quality of the data relied
upon; (3) the depth and thoroughness of the reserves estimation process; (4) the classification of reserves appropriate to the relevant definitions used; and (5) the reasonableness of the estimated reserve quantities.” 

Based on our review, including the data, technical processes and interpretations presented by PEP, it is our opinion that the overall
procedures and methodologies utilized by PEP in preparing their estimates of the proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 comply with the current SEC regulations, and that the overall proved reserves for the reviewed properties as estimated by
PEP are, in the aggregate, reasonable within the established audit tolerance guidelines of 10 percent set forth in the SPE auditing standards.

 The estimated reserves presented in this report are related to hydrocarbon prices. PEP
has informed us that in the preparation of their reserve and income projections, as of December 31, 2016, they used average prices during the 12-month period prior to the “as of date” of this
report, determined as the unweighted arithmetic averages of the prices in effect on the
first-day-of-the-month for each month within such period, unless prices were defined by
contractual arrangements, as required by the SEC regulations. Actual future prices may vary significantly from the prices required by SEC regulations; therefore, volumes of reserves actually recovered may differ significantly from the estimated
quantities presented in this report. The net reserves as estimated by PEP attributable to the properties that we reviewed are summarized as follows:

 The various proved reserve status categories are defined under the attachment entitled
“Petroleum Reserves Status Definitions and Guidelines” in this report. The proved developed non-producing reserves included herein consist of the shut-in and
behind pipe categories. 
 Reserves are “estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be
economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations.” All reserve estimates involve an assessment of the uncertainty relating the likelihood that the actual remaining quantities recovered
will be greater or less than the estimated quantities determined as of the date the estimate is made. The uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available at the time of the estimate and the
interpretation of these data. The relative degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two principal categories, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves and may be
further sub-categorized as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their recoverability. At PEP’s request, this report addresses only the proved reserves
attributable to the properties reviewed herein. 
 Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis
of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward.” The proved reserves included herein were estimated using deterministic methods. If deterministic methods
are used, the SEC has defined reasonable certainty for proved reserves as a “high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.”  

Proved reserve estimates will generally be revised only as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic
conditions change. For proved reserves, the SEC states that “as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR)
with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.” Moreover, estimates of proved reserves may be revised as a result of future operations, effects of regulation by governmental agencies or
geopolitical or economic risks. Therefore, the proved reserves included in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as being exact quantities, and if recovered, could be more or less than the estimated amounts. 

Audit Data, Methodology, Procedure and Assumptions 

The estimation of reserves involves two distinct determinations. The first determination results in the estimation of the quantities of
recoverable oil and gas and the second determination results in the estimation of the uncertainty associated with those estimated quantities in accordance with the definitions set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulations
Part 210.4-10(a). The process of estimating the quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves relies on the use of certain generally accepted analytical procedures. These analytical procedures fall into three
broad categories or methods: (1) performance-based methods; (2) volumetric-based methods; and (3) analogy. These methods may be used individually or in combination by the reserve evaluator in the process of estimating the quantities
of reserves. Reserve evaluators must select the method or combination of methods that in their professional judgment is most appropriate given the nature and amount of reliable geoscience and engineering data available at the time of the estimate,
the established or anticipated performance characteristics of the reservoir being evaluated and the stage of development or producing maturity of the property. 

In many cases, the analysis of the available geoscience and engineering data and the subsequent interpretation of this data may indicate
a range of possible outcomes in an estimate, irrespective of the method selected by the evaluator. When a range in the quantity of reserves is

COMPANY    PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS 









 Pemex Exploración y Producción

identified, the evaluator must determine the uncertainty associated with the incremental quantities of the reserves. If the reserve quantities are estimated using the deterministic incremental
approach, the uncertainty for each discrete incremental quantity of the reserves is addressed by the reserve category assigned by the evaluator. Therefore, it is the categorization of reserve quantities as proved, probable and/or possible that
addresses the inherent uncertainty in the estimated quantities reported. For proved reserves, uncertainty is defined by the SEC as reasonable certainty wherein the “quantities actually recovered are much more likely than not to be
achieved.” The SEC states that “probable reserves are those 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.” The SEC states
that “possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves and the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus
possible reserves.” All quantities of reserves within the same reserve category must meet the SEC definitions as noted above. 

Estimates of reserves quantities and their associated reserve categories may be revised in the future as additional geoscience or
engineering data become available. Furthermore, estimates of reserves quantities and their associated reserve categories may also be revised due to other factors such as changes in economic conditions, results of future operations, effects of
regulation by governmental agencies or geopolitical or economic risks as previously noted herein. 
 The proved reserves prepared by
PEP for the properties that we reviewed were estimated by performance methods, the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. Approximately 45 percent of the proved producing reserves attributable to producing wells and/or
reservoirs that we reviewed were estimated by performance methods. These performance methods include, but may not be limited to, decline curve analysis, numerical simulation and material balance, which utilized extrapolations of historical
production and pressure data available through December 2016, in those cases where such data were considered to be definitive. The data utilized in these analyses were furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP and were considered sufficient for the purpose
thereof. The remaining 55 percent of the proved producing reserves that we reviewed were estimated by the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. These methods were used where there were inadequate historical performance data
to establish a definitive trend and where the use of production performance data as a basis for the reserve estimates was considered to be inappropriate. 

All of the proved developed non-producing and undeveloped reserves that we reviewed were
estimated by the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. Volume versus depth analytical volumetric models that considered historical production volumes as well as movements of oil-water
and gas-oil contacts with time were also utilized for certain major properties located offshore. The volumetric analysis utilized pertinent well and seismic data furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP for our review
that were available through December 2016. The data utilized from the analogues in conjunction with well and seismic data incorporated into the volumetric analysis were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof. 

To estimate economically recoverable proved oil and gas reserves many factors and assumptions are considered including, but not limited
to, the use of reservoir parameters derived from geological, geophysical and engineering data which cannot be measured directly, economic criteria based on current costs and SEC pricing requirements, and forecasts of future production rates. Under
the SEC regulations 210.4-10(a)(22)(v) and (26), proved reserves must be anticipated to be economically producible from a given date forward based on existing economic conditions including the prices and costs
at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. While it may reasonably be anticipated that the future prices received for the sale of production and the operating costs and other costs relating to such production may increase
or decrease from those under existing economic conditions, such changes were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in conducting this review.

 As stated previously, proved reserves must be anticipated to be economically producible
from a given date forward based on existing economic conditions including the prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. To confirm that the proved reserves reviewed by us meet the SEC requirements to be
economically producible, we have reviewed certain primary economic data utilized by PEP relating to hydrocarbon prices and costs as noted herein. 

The hydrocarbon prices furnished by PEP for the properties reviewed by us are based on SEC price parameters using the average prices
during the 12-month period prior to the “as of date” of this report, determined as the unweighted arithmetic averages of the prices in effect on the first-day-of-the-month for each month within such period, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements. For
hydrocarbon products sold under contract, the contract prices, including fixed and determinable escalations exclusive of inflation adjustments, were used until expiration of the contract. Upon contract expiration, the prices were adjusted to the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average as previously described. 
 The initial SEC hydrocarbon
prices in effect on December 31, 2016 for the properties reviewed by us were determined using the 12-month average first-day-of-the-month prices appropriate to the geographic areas where the hydrocarbons are sold. These prices are the actual prices received by PEP for the
sale of hydrocarbon products to its affiliates such as Pemex - Refinación. 
 The table below summarizes PEP’s net volume
weighted prices adjusted for differentials for the properties reviewed by us by geographic areas and referred to herein as PEP’s “average realized prices.” The average realized prices shown in the table below were determined from
PEP’s estimate of the total future gross revenue before production taxes for the properties reviewed by us and PEP’s estimate of the total net reserves for the properties reviewed by us for each of the areas referred to as Activos as
listed below. The data shown in the table below is presented in accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for each of the geographic areas shown and reviewed by us. 
  

					
	Geographic Area (Activo)	 	Product	 	Average

      Realized      

Prices

	 	 	 	 	 
	Abkatun-Pol-Chuc	 	Oil/Condensate	 	$47.30/Bbl
	 	Gas	 	$3.60/MCF
	Cantarell	 	Oil/Condensate    	 	$39.49/Bbl
	 	Gas	 	$2.93/MCF
	Ku-Maloob-Zaap	 	Oil/Condensate	 	$35.32/Bbl
	 	Gas	 	$3.31/MCF

 The effects of derivative instruments designated as price hedges of oil and gas quantities are not
reflected in PEP’s individual property evaluations. 
 Accumulated gas production imbalances, if any, were not taken into account
in the proved gas reserve estimates reviewed. The proved gas volumes included herein do not attribute gas consumed in operations as reserves.

 Operating costs furnished by PEP are based on the operating expense reports of PEP and
include only those costs directly applicable to the fields or wells for the properties reviewed by us. The operating costs include a portion of general and administrative costs allocated directly to the fields and wells. The operating costs
furnished by PEP were accepted as factual data and reviewed by us for their reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of the data used by PEP. No deduction was made for loan repayments, interest expenses, or
exploration and development prepayments that were not charged directly to the fields, wells or contract areas. 
 Development costs
furnished by PEP are based on authorizations for expenditure for the proposed work or actual costs for similar projects. The development costs furnished by PEP were accepted as factual data and reviewed by us for their reasonableness; however, we
have not conducted an independent verification of the data used by PEP. The estimated net cost of abandonment after salvage was included by Pemex for properties where abandonment costs net of salvage were significant. Pemex’s estimates of the
net abandonment costs were accepted without independent verification. 
 The proved developed
non-producing and undeveloped reserves for the properties reviewed by us have been incorporated herein in accordance with PEP’s plans to develop these reserves as of December 31, 2016. The
implementation of these development plans as presented to us is subject to the approval process adopted by PEP’s management. As the result of our inquiries during the course of our review, PEP has informed us that the development activities for
the properties reviewed by us have been subjected to and received the internal approvals required by PEP’s management at the appropriate local, regional and/or corporate level. Additionally, PEP has informed us that they are not aware of any
legal, regulatory or political obstacles that would significantly alter their plans. While these plans could change from those under existing economic conditions as of December 31, 2016, such changes were, in accordance with rules adopted by
the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this evaluation. 
 Current costs used by PEP were held constant throughout the life of
the properties. 
 PEP’s forecasts of future production rates are based on historical performance from wells currently on
production. If no production decline trend has been established, future production rates were held constant until a decline in ability to produce was anticipated. An estimated rate of decline was then applied to depletion of the reserves. If a
decline trend has been established, this trend was used as the basis for estimating future production rates. 
 Test data and other
related information were used by PEP to estimate the anticipated initial production rates for those wells or locations that are not currently producing. For reserves not yet on production, sales were estimated to commence at an anticipated date
furnished by PEP. Wells or locations that are not currently producing may start producing earlier or later than anticipated in PEP’s estimates due to unforeseen factors causing a change in the timing to initiate production. Such factors may
include delays due to weather, the availability of rigs, the sequence of drilling, completing and/or recompleting wells and/or constraints set by regulatory bodies. 

The future production rates from wells currently on production or wells or locations that are not currently producing may be more or
less than estimated because of changes including, but not limited to, reservoir performance, operating conditions related to surface facilities, compression and artificial lift, pipeline capacity and/or operating conditions, producing market demand
and/or allowables or other constraints set by regulatory bodies.

 Ryder Scott did not evaluate the country and geopolitical risks in the country of
Mexico where all of the subject properties are located. PEP’s operations may be subject to various levels of governmental controls and regulations. These controls and regulations may include, but may not be limited to, matters relating to land
tenure and use, drilling and production practices, environmental protection, marketing and pricing policies, various taxes and levies and are subject to change from time to time. Such changes in governmental regulations and policies may cause
volumes of proved reserves actually recovered and amounts of proved income actually received to differ significantly from the estimated quantities. 

The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States provides that the Mexican nation, not Pemex owns all petroleum and other
hydrocarbon reserves located in Mexico. Although Mexican law has previously given Pemex the exclusive right to exploit Mexico’s hydrocarbon reserves either as operator or under agreements with other operators, certain new laws were enacted in
December 2013 that in the future will permit foreign companies to operate under other types of contracts that would potentially enable such companies to report reserves based on SEC criteria. It is expected that such laws will result in the
participation of foreign companies in the upstream exploitation of certain oil and gas properties, which as of December 31, 2016 were under the operatorship of PEP and which reserves are included in this report. Such changes could cause volumes
of proved reserves actually recovered and amounts of proved income actually received to differ significantly from the estimated quantities presented herein. 

The estimates of proved reserves presented herein were based upon a review of the subject properties; however, we have not made any
field examination of the properties. No consideration was given in this report to potential environmental liabilities that may exist nor were any costs included by PEP for potential liabilities to restore and clean up damages, if any, caused by past
operating practices. 
 Certain technical personnel of PEP are responsible for the preparation of reserve estimates on new properties
and for the preparation of revised estimates, when necessary, on old properties. These personnel assembled the necessary data and maintained the data and workpapers in an orderly manner. We consulted with these technical personnel and had access to
their workpapers and supporting data in the course of our audit. 
 PEP has informed us that they have furnished us all of the
material accounts, records, geological and engineering data, and reports and other data required for this investigation. In performing our audit of PEP’s forecast of future proved production, we have relied upon data furnished by PEP with
respect to property interests, production and well tests from examined wells, normal direct costs of operating the properties, other costs such as transportation and/or processing fees, recompletion and development costs, development plans,
abandonment costs after salvage, product prices based on the SEC regulations, adjustments or differentials to product prices, geological structural and isochore maps, well logs, core analyses, and pressure measurements. Ryder Scott reviewed such
factual data for its reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of the data furnished by PEP. The data described herein were accepted as authentic and sufficient for determining the reserves unless, during the course
of our examination, a matter of question came to our attention in which case the data were not accepted until all questions were satisfactorily resolved. We consider the factual data furnished to us by PEP to be appropriate and sufficient for the
purpose of our review of PEP’s estimates of reserves. In summary, we consider the assumptions, data, methods and analytical procedures used by PEP and as reviewed by us appropriate for the purpose hereof, and we have used all such methods and
procedures that we consider necessary and appropriate under the circumstances to render the conclusions set forth herein.

 Audit Opinion 

Based on our review, including the data, technical processes and interpretations presented by PEP, it is our opinion that the overall
procedures and methodologies utilized by PEP in preparing their estimates of the proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 comply with the current SEC regulations and that the overall proved reserves in terms of barrels of oil equivalent (BOE)
for the reviewed properties as estimated by PEP are, in the aggregate, reasonable within the established audit tolerance guidelines of 10 percent as set forth in the SPE auditing standards. 

We were in reasonable agreement with PEP’s estimates of proved reserves for the properties which we reviewed; however, in certain
cases there was more than an acceptable variance between PEP’s estimates and our estimates due to a difference in interpretation of data or due to our having access to data which were not available to PEP when its reserve estimates were
prepared. In these cases, PEP revised its estimates to better conform to our estimates. As a consequence, it is our opinion that on an aggregate basis the data presented herein for the properties that we reviewed fairly reflects the estimated
net reserves for those properties owned by the United Mexican States. 
 The same technical personnel of PEP were responsible for the
preparation of the reserve estimates for the properties that we reviewed as well as for the properties not reviewed by Ryder Scott.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES DEFINITIONS 

As Adapted From: 
 RULE 4-10(a) of REGULATION S-X PART 210 
 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) 
 PREAMBLE 

On January 14, 2009, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published the “Modernization of Oil and Gas
Reporting; Final Rule” in the Federal Register of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule” includes revisions and additions to the definition section in Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X, revisions and additions to the oil and gas reporting requirements in Regulation S-K, and amends and codifies
Industry Guide 2 in Regulation S-K. The “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule”, including all references to Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, shall be referred to herein collectively as the “SEC regulations”. The SEC regulations take effect for all filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as of
December 31, 2009, or after January 1, 2010. Reference should be made to the full text under Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X Part 210, Rule
4-10(a) for the complete definitions (direct passages excerpted in part or wholly from the aforementioned SEC document are denoted in italics herein). 

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a
given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. All reserve estimates involve an assessment of the uncertainty relating the likelihood that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the
estimated quantities determined as of the date the estimate is made. The uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available at the time of the estimate and the interpretation of these data. The relative
degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two principal classifications, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves and may be further
sub-classified as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their recoverability. Under the SEC regulations as of December 31, 2009, or after January 1, 2010, a
company may optionally disclose estimated quantities of probable or possible oil and gas reserves in documents publicly filed with the SEC. The SEC regulations continue to prohibit disclosure of estimates of oil and gas resources other than reserves
and any estimated values of such resources in any document publicly filed with the SEC unless such information is required to be disclosed in the document by foreign or state law as noted in §229.1202 Instruction to Item 1202. 

Reserves estimates will generally be revised only as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic conditions
change. 
 Reserves may be attributed to either natural energy or improved recovery methods. Improved recovery methods include all
methods for supplementing natural energy or altering natural forces in the reservoir to increase ultimate recovery. Examples of such methods are pressure maintenance, natural gas cycling, waterflooding, thermal methods, chemical flooding, and the
use of miscible and immiscible displacement fluids. Other improved recovery methods may be developed in the future as petroleum technology continues to evolve. 

Reserves may be attributed to either conventional or unconventional petroleum accumulations. Petroleum accumulations are considered as
either conventional or unconventional based on the nature of their in-place characteristics, extraction method applied, or degree of processing prior to sale.

Examples of unconventional petroleum accumulations include coalbed or coalseam methane (CBM/CSM), basin-centered gas, shale gas, gas hydrates, natural bitumen and oil shale deposits. These
unconventional accumulations may require specialized extraction technology and/or significant processing prior to sale. 
 Reserves do
not include quantities of petroleum being held in inventory. 
 Because of the differences in uncertainty, caution should be exercised
when aggregating quantities of petroleum from different reserves categories. 
 RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(26) defines reserves as follows: 

Reserves.    Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated
to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue
interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. 

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those
reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e.,
absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations). 

PROVED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(22) defines proved oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Proved oil and gas
reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward,
from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably
certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a
reasonable time. 
 (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: 

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and 

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to
contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

 PROVED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) CONTINUED 

 

 (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are
limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. 

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an
associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

 (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not
limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: 
 (A) Successful testing by a pilot project
in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable
certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and 
 (B) The project has been approved for
development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. 
 (v) Existing economic conditions include
prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the
report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month
price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Reserves status categories define the development and producing status of wells and reservoirs. Reference should be made to Title 17,
Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X Part 210, Rule 4-10(a) and the SPE-PRMS as the following reserves status definitions
are based on excerpts from the original documents (direct passages excerpted from the aforementioned SEC and SPE-PRMS documents are denoted in italics herein). 

DEVELOPED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(6) defines developed oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Developed oil
and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: 
 (i)  Through existing wells
with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and 

(ii)  Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the
extraction is by means not involving a well. 
 Developed Producing (SPE-PRMS Definitions) 

While not a requirement for disclosure under the SEC regulations, developed oil and gas reserves may be further sub-classified according to the guidance contained in the SPE-PRMS as Producing or Non-Producing.  

Developed Producing Reserves 

Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the time of the estimate. 

Improved recovery reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES STATUS DEFINITIONS AND GUIDELINES 

Page 2 
  

 Developed Non-Producing 

Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and
behind-pipe reserves. 
 Shut-In 

Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from: 

	 	(1)	completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate, but which have not started producing; 


	 	(2)	wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections; or 


	 	(3)	wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. 

 Behind-Pipe 

Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells, which will require additional completion work or
future re-completion prior to start of production. 
 In all cases, production can be
initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well. 
 UNDEVELOPED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(31) defines undeveloped oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Undeveloped
oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category 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. 

(i)   Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be 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. 

(ii)   Undrilled locations can be 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. 

(iii)   Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Dear Ing. Hinojosa: 
 At the request of Pemex
Exploración y Producción (PEP), a wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott) has conducted a reserves audit of the estimates of the proved reserves owned by the United Mexican
States as of December 31, 2016. In most cases the properties reviewed by us are operated by Pemex; however, certain contract areas are operated by other companies. The estimates we audited were prepared by PEP’s engineering and geological
staff based on the definitions and disclosure guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission contained in Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, Final Rule released January 14, 2009,
in the Federal Register (SEC regulations). Our third party reserves audit, completed on February 27, 2017, and presented herein, was prepared for public disclosure by Pemex in filings made with the SEC in accordance with the disclosure
requirements set forth in the SEC regulations. The properties reviewed by Ryder Scott are comprised of those properties contractually awarded to PEP and located in four areas of operations known as Activos. The names of these Activos as well as
their geographical locations are shown below: 
  

			
	 Activo Bellota-Jujo
	  	 Onshore Mexican state of Tabasco

	 Activo Cinco Presidentes
	  	 Onshore Mexican states of Tabasco and Veracruz

	 Activo Macuspana-Muspac
	  	 Onshore Mexican states of Chiapas and Tabasco

	 Activo Samaria-Luna
	  	 Onshore Mexican state of Tabasco


 The proved net reserves attributable to the properties that we reviewed account for 100 percent of
the total proved net oil equivalent barrels (BOE) of PEP for the Activos listed above. 
 As prescribed by the Society of Petroleum
Engineers in Paragraph 2.2(f) of the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information (SPE auditing standards), a reserves audit is defined as “the process of reviewing certain of the pertinent facts
interpreted and assumptions made that have resulted in an estimate of reserves prepared by others and the rendering of an opinion about (1) the appropriateness of the methodologies employed; (2) the adequacy and quality of the data relied
upon; (3) the depth and thoroughness of the reserves estimation process; (4) the classification of reserves appropriate to the relevant definitions used; and (5) the reasonableness of the estimated reserve quantities.”

 Based on our review, including the data, technical processes and interpretations
presented by PEP, it is our opinion that the overall procedures and methodologies utilized by PEP in preparing their estimates of the proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 comply with the current SEC regulations, and that the overall proved
reserves for the reviewed properties as estimated by PEP are, in the aggregate, reasonable within the established audit tolerance guidelines of 10 percent set forth in the SPE auditing standards. 

The estimated reserves presented in this report are related to hydrocarbon prices. PEP has informed us that in the preparation of their
reserve and income projections, as of December 31, 2016, they used average prices during the 12-month period prior to the “as of date” of this report, determined as the unweighted arithmetic
averages of the prices in effect on the first-day-of-the-month for each month within such
period, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements, as required by the SEC regulations. Actual future prices may vary significantly from the prices required by SEC regulations; therefore, volumes of reserves actually recovered may differ
significantly from the estimated quantities presented in this report. The net reserves as estimated by PEP attributable to the properties that we reviewed are summarized below:

 Reserves Included in This Report 

In our opinion, the proved reserves reviewed by us and presented in this report conform to the definition as set forth in the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s Regulations Part 210.4-10(a). An abridged version of the SEC reserves definitions from 210.4-10(a) entitled “Petroleum Reserves
Definitions” is included as an attachment to this report. 
 The various proved reserve status categories are defined under the
attachment entitled “Petroleum Reserves Status Definitions and Guidelines” in this report. The proved developed non-producing reserves included herein consist of the
shut-in and behind pipe categories. 
 Reserves are “estimated remaining quantities of
oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations.” All reserve estimates involve an assessment of the uncertainty relating the
likelihood that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the estimated quantities determined as of the date the estimate is made. The uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data
available at the time of the estimate and the interpretation of these data. The relative degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two principal categories, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to
be recovered than proved reserves and may be further sub-categorized as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their recoverability. At PEP’s request, this report
addresses only the proved reserves attributable to the properties reviewed herein. 
 Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities
of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward.” The proved reserves included herein were estimated using deterministic
methods. If deterministic methods are used, the SEC has defined reasonable certainty for proved reserves as a “high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.”  

Proved reserve estimates will generally be revised only as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic
conditions change. For proved reserves, the SEC states that “as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR)
with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.” Moreover, estimates of proved reserves may be revised as a result of future operations, effects of regulation by governmental agencies or
geopolitical or economic risks. Therefore, the proved reserves included in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as being exact quantities, and if recovered, could be more or less than the estimated amounts. 

Audit Data, Methodology, Procedure and Assumptions 

The estimation of reserves involves two distinct determinations. The first determination results in the estimation of the quantities of
recoverable oil and gas and the second determination results in the estimation of the uncertainty associated with those estimated quantities in accordance with the definitions set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulations
Part 210.4-10(a). The process of estimating the quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves relies on the use of certain generally accepted analytical procedures. These analytical procedures fall into three
broad categories or methods: (1) performance-based methods; (2) volumetric-based methods; and (3) analogy. These methods may be used individually or in combination by the reserve evaluator in the process of estimating the quantities
of reserves. Reserve evaluators must select the method or combination of methods that in their professional judgment is most appropriate given the nature and amount of reliable

 Page 4 

 

 
geoscience and engineering data available at the time of the estimate, the established or anticipated performance characteristics of the reservoir being evaluated and the stage of development or
producing maturity of the property. 
 In many cases, the analysis of the available geoscience and engineering data and the subsequent
interpretation of this data may indicate a range of possible outcomes in an estimate, irrespective of the method selected by the evaluator. When a range in the quantity of reserves is identified, the evaluator must determine the uncertainty
associated with the incremental quantities of the reserves. If the reserve quantities are estimated using the deterministic incremental approach, the uncertainty for each discrete incremental quantity of the reserves is addressed by the reserve
category assigned by the evaluator. Therefore, it is the categorization of reserve quantities as proved, probable and/or possible that addresses the inherent uncertainty in the estimated quantities reported. For proved reserves, uncertainty is
defined by the SEC as reasonable certainty wherein the “quantities actually recovered are much more likely than not to be achieved.” The SEC states that “probable reserves are those 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.” The SEC states that “possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable
reserves and the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves.” All quantities of reserves within the same reserve category must meet the SEC definitions as
noted above. 
 Estimates of reserves quantities and their associated reserve categories may be revised in the future as additional
geoscience or engineering data become available. Furthermore, estimates of reserves quantities and their associated reserve categories may also be revised due to other factors such as changes in economic conditions, results of future operations,
effects of regulation by governmental agencies or geopolitical or economic risks as previously noted herein. 
 The proved reserves
prepared by PEP for the properties that we reviewed were estimated by performance methods, the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. Approximately 92 percent of the proved producing reserves attributable to producing wells
and/or reservoirs that we reviewed were estimated by performance methods. These performance methods include, but may not be limited to, decline curve analysis, numerical simulation and material balance calculations, which utilized extrapolations of
historical production and pressure data available through December 2016, in those cases where such data were considered to be definitive. The data utilized in these analyses were furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP and were considered sufficient for the
purpose thereof. The remaining 8 percent of the proved producing reserves that we reviewed were estimated by the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. These methods were used where there were inadequate historical performance
data to establish a definitive trend and where the use of production performance data as a basis for the reserve estimates was considered to be inappropriate. 

All of the proved developed non-producing and undeveloped reserves that we reviewed were
estimated by the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. The volumetric analyses utilized pertinent well and seismic data furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP for our review that were available through December 2016. The data utilized
from the analogues in conjunction with well and seismic data incorporated into the volumetric analysis were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof. 

To estimate economically recoverable proved oil and gas reserves many factors and assumptions are considered including, but not limited
to, the use of reservoir parameters derived from geological, geophysical and engineering data which cannot be measured directly, economic criteria based on current costs and SEC pricing requirements, and forecasts of future production rates. Under

the SEC regulations 210.4-10(a)(22)(v) and (26), proved reserves must be anticipated to be economically producible from a given date forward based on
existing economic conditions including the prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. While it may reasonably be anticipated that the future prices received for the sale of production and the operating
costs and other costs relating to such production may increase or decrease from those under existing economic conditions, such changes were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in conducting this review. 

As stated previously, proved reserves must be anticipated to be economically producible from a given date forward based on existing
economic conditions including the prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. To confirm that the proved reserves reviewed by us meet the SEC requirements to be economically producible, we have reviewed
certain primary economic data utilized by PEP relating to hydrocarbon prices and costs as noted herein. 
 The hydrocarbon prices
furnished by PEP for the properties reviewed by us are based on SEC price parameters using the average prices during the 12-month period prior to the “as of date” of this report, determined as the
unweighted arithmetic averages of the prices in effect on the first-day-of-the-month for
each month within such period, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements. For hydrocarbon products sold under contract, the contract prices, including fixed and determinable escalations exclusive of inflation adjustments, were used
until expiration of the contract. Upon contract expiration, the prices were adjusted to the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average as previously described. 

The initial SEC hydrocarbon prices in effect on December 31, 2016 for the properties reviewed by us were determined using the 12-month average first-day-of-the-month prices
appropriate to the geographic areas where the hydrocarbons are sold. These prices are the actual prices received by PEP for the sale of hydrocarbon products to its affiliates such as Pemex - Refinación. 

The table below summarizes PEP’s net volume weighted prices adjusted for differentials for the properties reviewed by us by
geographic areas and referred to herein as PEP’s “average realized prices.” The average realized prices shown in the table below were determined from PEP’s estimate of the total future gross revenue before production taxes for
the properties reviewed by us and PEP’s estimate of the total net reserves for the properties reviewed by us for each of the areas referred to as Activos as listed below. The data shown in the table below is presented in accordance with SEC
disclosure requirements for each of the geographic areas shown and reviewed by us.

quantities are not reflected in PEP’s individual property evaluations. 
 Accumulated gas production imbalances, if any, were not
taken into account in the proved gas reserve estimates reviewed. The proved gas volumes included herein do not attribute gas consumed in operations as reserves. 

Operating costs furnished by PEP are based on the operating expense reports of PEP and include only those costs directly applicable to
the fields or wells for the properties reviewed by us. The operating costs include a portion of general and administrative costs allocated directly to the fields and wells. The operating costs furnished by PEP were accepted as factual data and
reviewed by us for their reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of the data used by PEP. No deduction was made for loan repayments, interest expenses, or exploration and development prepayments that were not
charged directly to the fields, wells or contract areas. 
 Development costs furnished by PEP are based on authorizations for
expenditure for the proposed work or actual costs for similar projects. The development costs furnished by PEP were accepted as factual data and reviewed by us for their reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of
the data used by PEP. The estimated net cost of abandonment after salvage was included by Pemex for properties where abandonment costs net of salvage were significant. Pemex’s estimates of the net abandonment costs were accepted without
independent verification.  
 The proved developed non-producing and undeveloped
reserves for the operated and non-operated properties reviewed by us have been incorporated herein in accordance with PEP’s and the other operator’s plans to develop these reserves as of
December 31, 2016. The implementation of these development plans as presented to us is subject to the approval process adopted by PEP’s management. As the result of our inquiries during the course of our review, PEP has informed us that
the development activities for the properties reviewed by us have been subjected to and received the internal approvals required by PEP’s management at the appropriate local, regional and/or corporate level. PEP has also informed us that the
same type of approval process has been conducted by the other operators for those properties that such companies operate. Additionally, PEP has informed us that they are not aware of any legal, regulatory or political obstacles that would
significantly alter their plans. While these plans could change from those under existing economic conditions as of December 31, 2016, such changes were, in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this
evaluation. 
 Current costs used by PEP were held constant throughout the life of the properties. 

As previously stated, certain properties that we reviewed are situated in contract areas that are not operated by PEP. According to the
new Mexican hydrocarbon law, these companies have the option to convert the contractual terms currently in place to other types of contractual arrangements such as Concession Licenses, Production Sharing Contracts or Profit Sharing Contracts. While
current negotiations are or will soon be in progress, there are no new contractual arrangements for such areas in effect as of the date of this report. Therefore, the reserves reported herein for these areas are based on the existing contractual
terms that were effective as of December 31, 2016. Furthermore, PEP has informed us that the final development plans for such contractual areas not operated by PEP are dictated by PEP and any differences in plans between the operator and PEP,
should they occur, are ultimately decided by PEP.

 PEP’s forecasts of future production rates are based on historical performance
from wells currently on production. If no production decline trend has been established, future production rates were held constant until a decline in ability to produce was anticipated. An estimated rate of decline was then applied to depletion of
the reserves. If a decline trend has been established, this trend was used as the basis for estimating future production rates. 

Test data and other related information were used by PEP to estimate the anticipated initial production rates for those wells or
locations that are not currently producing. For reserves not yet on production, sales were estimated to commence at an anticipated date furnished by PEP. Wells or locations that are not currently producing may start producing earlier or later than
anticipated in PEP’s estimates due to unforeseen factors causing a change in the timing to initiate production. Such factors may include delays due to weather, the availability of rigs, the sequence of drilling, completing and/or recompleting
wells and/or constraints set by regulatory bodies. 
 The future production rates from wells currently on production or wells or
locations that are not currently producing may be more or less than estimated because of changes including, but not limited to, reservoir performance, operating conditions related to surface facilities, compression and artificial lift, pipeline
capacity and/or operating conditions, producing market demand and/or allowables or other constraints set by regulatory bodies. 

Ryder Scott did not evaluate the country and geopolitical risks in the country of Mexico where all of the subject properties are
located. PEP’s operations and the operations of the other companies may be subject to various levels of governmental controls and regulations. These controls and regulations may include, but may not be limited to, matters relating to land
tenure and use, drilling and production practices, environmental protection, marketing and pricing policies, various taxes and levies and are subject to change from time to time. Such changes in governmental regulations and policies may cause
volumes of proved reserves actually recovered and amounts of proved income actually received to differ significantly from the estimated quantities. 

Certain properties included herein are operated by other operators under specified operating contracts. Under the terms of these
contracts, the other operators have the right to operate and produce hydrocarbons; however, the produced volumes are ultimately delivered to PEP for marketing. Such contracts signed between PEP and the other operators also dictate that the reserves
associated with the contract areas are the property of the United Mexican States. The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States provides that the Mexican nation, not Pemex or the other operators, owns all petroleum and other hydrocarbon
reserves located in Mexico. 
 Although Mexican law has previously given Pemex the exclusive right to exploit Mexico’s
hydrocarbon reserves either as operator or under agreements with other operators, certain new laws were enacted in December 2013 that in the future will permit foreign companies to operate under other types of contracts that would potentially enable
such companies to report reserves based on SEC criteria. It is expected that such laws will result in the participation of foreign companies in the upstream exploitation of certain oil and gas properties, which as of December 31, 2016 were
under the operatorship of PEP and which reserves are included in this report. Such changes as well as potential changes to the contractual terms of the areas that are currently operated by others and also included in this report could cause volumes
of proved reserves actually recovered and amounts of proved income actually received to differ significantly from the estimated quantities presented herein. 

The estimates of proved reserves presented herein were based upon a review of the subject properties; however, we have not made any
field examination of the properties. No consideration was given in this report to potential environmental liabilities that may exist nor were any costs included by PEP for potential liabilities to restore and clean up damages, if any, caused by past
operating practices.

 Certain technical personnel of PEP are responsible for the preparation of reserve
estimates on new properties and for the preparation of revised estimates, when necessary, on old properties. These personnel assembled the necessary data and maintained the data and workpapers in an orderly manner. We consulted with these technical
personnel and had access to their workpapers and supporting data in the course of our audit. 
 PEP has informed us that for both the
operated and non-operated properties they have furnished us all of the material accounts, records, geological and engineering data, and reports and other data required for this investigation. In performing our
audit of PEP’s forecast of future proved production, we have relied upon data furnished by PEP with respect to property interests, production and well tests from examined wells, normal direct costs of operating the properties, other costs such
as transportation and/or processing fees, recompletion and development costs, development plans, abandonment costs after salvage, product prices based on the SEC regulations, adjustments or differentials to product prices, geological structural and
isochore maps, well logs, core analyses, and pressure measurements. For non-operated properties, the costs provided by Pemex include all charges related to the expense of such contractual obligations. Ryder
Scott reviewed such factual data for its reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of the data furnished by PEP. The data described herein were accepted as authentic and sufficient for determining the reserves
unless, during the course of our examination, a matter of question came to our attention in which case the data were not accepted until all questions were satisfactorily resolved. We consider the factual data furnished to us by PEP to be appropriate
and sufficient for the purpose of our review of PEP’s estimates of reserves. In summary, we consider the assumptions, data, methods and analytical procedures used by PEP and as reviewed by us appropriate for the purpose hereof, and we have used
all such methods and procedures that we consider necessary and appropriate under the circumstances to render the conclusions set forth herein. 
 Audit Opinion

 Based on our review, including the data, technical processes and interpretations presented by PEP, it is our opinion that
the overall procedures and methodologies utilized by PEP in preparing their estimates of the proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 comply with the current SEC regulations and that the overall proved reserves in terms of barrels of oil
equivalent (BOE) for the reviewed properties as estimated by PEP are, in the aggregate, reasonable within the established audit tolerance guidelines of 10 percent as set forth in the SPE auditing standards. 

We were in reasonable agreement with PEP’s estimates of proved reserves for the properties which we reviewed; however, in certain
cases there was more than an acceptable variance between PEP’s estimates and our estimates due to a difference in interpretation of data or due to our having access to data which were not available to PEP when its reserve estimates were
prepared. In these cases, PEP revised its estimates to better conform to our estimates. As a consequence, it is our opinion that on an aggregate basis the data presented herein for the properties that we reviewed fairly reflects the estimated
net reserves for those properties, both operated and non-operated, and owned by the United Mexican States. 

The same technical personnel of PEP were responsible for the preparation of the reserve estimates for the properties that we reviewed as
well as for the properties not reviewed by Ryder Scott.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES DEFINITIONS 

As Adapted From: 
 RULE 4-10(a) of REGULATION S-X PART 210 
 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) 
 PREAMBLE 

On January 14, 2009, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published the “Modernization of Oil and Gas
Reporting; Final Rule” in the Federal Register of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule” includes revisions and additions to the definition section in Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X, revisions and additions to the oil and gas reporting requirements in Regulation S-K, and amends and
codifies Industry Guide 2 in Regulation S-K. The “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule”, including all references to Regulation S-X and
Regulation S-K, shall be referred to herein collectively as the “SEC regulations”. The SEC regulations take effect for all filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as of
December 31, 2009, or after January 1, 2010. Reference should be made to the full text under Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X Part 210, Rule
4-10(a) for the complete definitions (direct passages excerpted in part or wholly from the aforementioned SEC document are denoted in italics herein). 

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a
given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. All reserve estimates involve an assessment of the uncertainty relating the likelihood that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the
estimated quantities determined as of the date the estimate is made. The uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available at the time of the estimate and the interpretation of these data. The relative
degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two principal classifications, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves and may be further
sub-classified as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their recoverability. Under the SEC regulations as of December 31, 2009, or after January 1, 2010, a
company may optionally disclose estimated quantities of probable or possible oil and gas reserves in documents publicly filed with the SEC. The SEC regulations continue to prohibit disclosure of estimates of oil and gas resources other than reserves
and any estimated values of such resources in any document publicly filed with the SEC unless such information is required to be disclosed in the document by foreign or state law as noted in §229.1202 Instruction to Item 1202. 

Reserves estimates will generally be revised only as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic conditions
change. 
 Reserves may be attributed to either natural energy or improved recovery methods. Improved recovery methods include all
methods for supplementing natural energy or altering natural forces in the reservoir to increase ultimate recovery. Examples of such methods are pressure maintenance, natural gas cycling, waterflooding, thermal methods, chemical flooding, and the
use of miscible and immiscible displacement fluids. Other improved recovery methods may be developed in the future as petroleum technology continues to evolve. 

Reserves may be attributed to either conventional or unconventional petroleum accumulations. Petroleum accumulations are considered as
either conventional or unconventional based on the nature of their in-place characteristics, extraction method applied, or degree of processing prior to sale.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES DEFINITIONS

Examples of unconventional petroleum accumulations include coalbed or coalseam methane (CBM/CSM), basin-centered gas, shale gas, gas hydrates, natural bitumen and oil shale deposits. These
unconventional accumulations may require specialized extraction technology and/or significant processing prior to sale. 
 Reserves do
not include quantities of petroleum being held in inventory. 
 Because of the differences in uncertainty, caution should be exercised
when aggregating quantities of petroleum from different reserves categories. 
 RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(26) defines reserves as follows: 

Reserves.    Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated
to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue
interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. 

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those
reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e.,
absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations). 

PROVED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(22) defines proved oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Proved oil and gas
reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward,
from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably
certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a
reasonable time. 
 (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: 

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and 

(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to
contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

 PROVED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) CONTINUED 

 

 (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are
limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. 

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an
associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

 (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not
limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: 
 (A) Successful testing by a pilot project
in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable
certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and 
 (B) The project has been approved for
development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. 
 (v) Existing economic conditions include
prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the
report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month
price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Reserves status categories define the development and producing status of wells and reservoirs. Reference should be made to Title 17,
Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X Part 210, Rule 4-10(a) and the SPE-PRMS as the following reserves status definitions
are based on excerpts from the original documents (direct passages excerpted from the aforementioned SEC and SPE-PRMS documents are denoted in italics herein). 

DEVELOPED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(6) defines developed oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Developed oil
and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: 
 (i) Through existing wells with
existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and 

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is
by means not involving a well. 
 Developed Producing (SPE-PRMS Definitions) 

While not a requirement for disclosure under the SEC regulations, developed oil and gas reserves may be further sub-classified according to the guidance contained in the SPE-PRMS as Producing or Non-Producing.  

Developed Producing Reserves 

Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the time of the
estimate. 
 Improved recovery reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES STATUS DEFINITIONS AND GUIDELINES 

Page 2 
  

 Developed Non-Producing 

Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and
behind-pipe reserves. 
 Shut-In 

Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from: 

	 	(1)	completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate, but which have not started producing; 


	 	(2)	wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections; or 


	 	(3)	wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. 

 Behind-Pipe 

Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells, which will require additional completion work or
future re-completion prior to start of production. 
 In all cases, production can be
initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well. 
 UNDEVELOPED RESERVES (SEC DEFINITIONS) 

Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X
§210.4-10(a)(31) defines undeveloped oil and gas reserves as follows: 
 Undeveloped
oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category 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. 

(i)    Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be 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. 

(ii)   Undrilled locations can be 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. 

(iii)  Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
