Gentlemen:

 

At your request, Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott) has prepared an estimate of the proved reserves, future production, and income attributable to certain royalty interests of Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP, (KRP) as of December 31, 2016.  The diverse inventory of royalty interests are located primarily in the state of Texas, but with other interests in 20 other states.  The reserves and income data were estimated based on the definitions and disclosure guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 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 study, completed on March 23, 2017 and presented herein, was prepared for public disclosure by KRP in filings made with the SEC in accordance with the disclosure requirements set forth in the SEC regulations.

 

The properties evaluated by Ryder Scott represent 100 percent of the total net proved liquid hydrocarbon reserves and 100 percent of the total net proved gas reserves of KRP as of December 31, 2016.

 

The estimated reserves and future net income amounts presented in this report, as of December 31, 2016, are related to hydrocarbon prices.  The hydrocarbon prices used in the preparation of this report are based on 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, 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 and the amounts of income actually received may differ significantly from the estimated quantities presented in this report.  The results of this study are summarized as follows.

Liquid hydrocarbons are expressed in standard 42 gallon barrels and shown herein as thousands of barrels (MBarrels).  All gas volumes are reported on an “as sold” basis expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at the official temperature and pressure bases of the areas in which the gas reserves are located.  In this report, the revenues, deductions, and income data are expressed as thousands of U.S. dollars (M$).

 

The estimates of the reserves, future production, and income attributable to properties in this report were prepared using the economic software package ARIESTM Petroleum Economics and Reserves Software, a copyrighted program of Halliburton.  Ryder Scott has found this program to be generally acceptable, but notes that certain summaries and calculations may vary due to rounding and may not exactly match the sum of the properties being summarized.  Furthermore, one line economic summaries may vary slightly from the more detailed cash flow projections of the same properties, also due to rounding.  The rounding differences are not material.

 

The future gross revenue is after the deduction of production taxes.  Since the evaluation includes only royalty interests there are only deductions for ad valorem taxes, while the normal direct costs of operating the wells, recompletion costs, and development costs are used only to estimate economic lives.  The future net income is before the deduction of general administrative overhead, and has not been adjusted for outstanding loans that may exist nor does it include any adjustment for cash on hand or undistributed income.

 

Liquid hydrocarbon reserves account for approximately 75 percent and gas reserves account for the remaining 25 percent of total future gross revenue from proved reserves.

 

The discounted future net income shown above was calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent per annum compounded monthly.  Future net income was discounted at four other discount rates which were also compounded monthly.  These results are shown in summary form as follows.

***Reserves Included in This Report***

 

The proved reserves included herein conform to the definitions 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 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.

 

No attempt was made to quantify or otherwise account for any accumulated gas production imbalances that may exist.  The proved gas volumes presented herein do not include volumes of gas consumed in operations as 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.”  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.  At KRP’s request, this report addresses only the proved reserves attributable to the properties evaluated 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.  The SEC has defined reasonable certainty for proved reserves, when based on deterministic methods, as a “high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.”

 

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, the revenues therefrom, and the actual costs related thereto, could be more or less than the estimated amounts.

 

KRP’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 leasing, the legal rights to produce, drilling and production practices, environmental protection, marketing and pricing policies, royalties, various taxes and levies including income tax, 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 estimates of proved reserves presented herein were based upon a detailed study of the properties in which KRP owns a royalty interest; 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 for potential liabilities to restore and clean up damages, if any, caused by past operating practices.

 

 

***Estimates of Reserves***

 

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 which 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 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 for the properties included herein were estimated by performance methods or analogy.  One hundred percent of the proved producing reserves attributable to producing wells and/or reservoirs were estimated by performance methods.  These performance methods include decline curve analysis which utilized extrapolations of historical production and pressure data available through December 2016 in those cases where such data were and considered to be definitive.  The data utilized in this analysis were furnished to Ryder Scott by KRP and were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof.

 

One hundred percent of the proved developed non-producing and undeveloped reserves included herein were estimated by analogy.  The data utilized from the analogues were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof.

 

To estimate economically recoverable proved oil and gas reserves and related future net cash flows, we consider many factors and assumptions 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 making this evaluation.

 

KRP 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 preparing our forecast of future proved production and income, we have relied upon data furnished by KRP with respect to property interests owned, production and well tests from examined wells, normal direct costs of operating the wells or leases, other costs such as transportation and/or processing fees, ad valorem and production taxes, 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 KRP.  We consider the factual data used in this report appropriate and sufficient for the purpose of preparing the estimates of reserves and future net revenues herein.

 

In summary, we consider the assumptions, data, methods and analytical procedures used in this report appropriate for the purpose hereof, and we have used all such methods and procedures that we consider necessary and appropriate to prepare the estimates of reserves herein.  The proved reserves included herein were determined in conformance with the United States Securities and

Exchange Commission (SEC) Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule, including all references to Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, referred to herein collectively as the “SEC Regulations.”  In our opinion, the proved reserves presented in this report comply with the definitions, guidelines and disclosure requirements as required by the SEC regulations.

 

 

***Future Production Rates***

 

For wells currently on production, our forecasts of future production rates are based on historical performance data.  If no production decline trend has been established, future production rates were held constant, or adjusted for the effects of curtailment where appropriate, 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 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 KRP.  Wells or locations that are not currently producing may start producing earlier or later than anticipated in our 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.

 

 

***Hydrocarbon Prices***

 

The hydrocarbon prices used herein 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.

 

KRP furnished us with the above mentioned average prices in effect on December 31, 2016.  These initial SEC hydrocarbon prices were determined using the 12-month average first-day-of-the-month benchmark prices appropriate to the geographic area where the hydrocarbons are sold.  These benchmark prices are prior to the adjustments for differentials as described herein.  The table below summarizes the “benchmark prices” and “price reference” used for the geographic area included in the report.  In certain geographic areas, the price reference and benchmark prices may be defined by contractual arrangements

 

The product prices which were actually used to determine the future gross revenue for each property reflect adjustments to the benchmark prices for gravity, quality, local conditions, and/or distance from market, referred to herein as “differentials.”  The differentials used in the preparation of

this report were furnished to us by KRP.  The differentials furnished to us 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 KRP to determine these differentials.

 

In addition, the table below summarizes the net volume weighted benchmark prices adjusted for differentials and referred to herein as the “average realized prices.” The average realized prices shown in the table below were determined from the total future gross revenue before production taxes and the total net reserves for the geographic area and presented in accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for each of the geographic areas included in the report.

***Costs***

 

Estimated operating costs for the leases and wells in this report were furnished by KRP and are based on the operating expense reports of the operators of the properties and include only those costs directly applicable to the leases or wells.  Because these are not working interests, no operating costs are included for KRP’s interests, but are considered in estimates to accurately reflect economic lives of each entity.  The operating costs furnished to us were accepted as factual data and reviewed by us for their reasonableness; however, we have not conducted an independent verification of the operating cost data used by KRP.  No deduction was made for loan repayments, interest expenses, or exploration and development prepayments that were not charged directly to the leases or wells.

 

Development costs were not incorporated into these cash flows since KRP does not own working interests.  Typical development costs were considered when reviewing the estimates of undeveloped inventory which includes new development in basins with a historical record of continuous development and used similarly as the operating costs in determining these are economically recoverable reserves.

 

The proved developed non-producing and undeveloped reserves in this report have been incorporated herein in accordance with KRP’s estimates of the operator’s expectations to develop these reserves as of December 31, 2016.  Development activities are subject to specific operator and partner AFE processes, Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) requirements or other administrative approvals external to KRP.  Additionally, KRP has informed us that they are not aware of any legal, regulatory, or political obstacles that would significantly alter their estimates of development 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.

 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, water flooding, 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. RYDER SCOTT COMPANY  PETR OLEUM CONSULTANTS 

 

 PETROLEUM RESERVES DEFINITIONS Page Examples   of unconventional petroleum accumulations include coalbed or coal seam   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. RYDER SCOTT   COMPANY  PETR OLEUM CONSULTANTS 

 

 PETROLEUM RESERVES DEFINITIONS Page 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 reducibility   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.

 PETROLEUM RESERVES STATUS DEFINITIONS AND   GUIDELINES As Adapted From: RULE 4-10(a) of REGULATION S-X PART 210   UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) and PETROLEUM   RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SPE-PRMS) Sponsored and Approved by: SOCIETY OF   PETROLEUM ENGINEERS (SPE) WORLD PETROLEUM COUNCIL (WPC) AMERICAN ASSOCIATION   OF PETROLEUM GEOLOGISTS (AAPG) SOCIETY OF PETROLEUM EVALUATION ENGINEERS   (SPEE) 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. RYDER SCOTT COMPANY  PETR   OLEUM CONSULTANTS 

 

 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 reducibility 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.
