Dear Ing. Morales: 
 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, 2012 and operated by PEP. 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 26, 2013, 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 located in PEP’s Northern Region. The subject properties are located in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas and
Veracruz. Certain properties are located in territorial waters, offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. There are other properties located in the Northern Region that are not operated by PEP and were not reviewed by Ryder Scott. The proved net reserves
attributable to the properties that we reviewed account for 91.0 percent of the total proved net oil equivalent barrels (BOE) for the Northern Region. 
 The properties reviewed by Ryder Scott account for a portion of Pemex’s total net proved reserves as of December 31, 2012. Based on the estimates of total net proved reserves prepared by Pemex,
the reserves audit conducted by Ryder Scott addresses 5.3 percent of the total proved developed net liquid hydrocarbon reserves and 17.3 percent of the total proved developed net gas reserves or 7.8 percent of the total proved developed net reserves
on a barrel of oil equivalent, BOE basis and 18.0 percent of the total proved undeveloped net liquid hydrocarbon reserves and 18.7 percent of the total proved undeveloped net gas reserves or 17.8 percent of the total proved undeveloped net reserves
on a barrel of oil equivalent, BOE basis of Pemex. 
 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, 2012 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 and 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, 2012, they used average prices during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered in 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 Pemex’s operated properties that we
reviewed and the reserves of properties that we did not review are summarized as follows:

 Liquid hydrocarbons are expressed in standard 42 gallon barrels. 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. The net remaining reserves are also shown herein on an
equivalent unit (BOE) basis wherein natural gas is converted to oil equivalent barrels using a factor of 5,200.9 cubic feet of natural gas per one barrel of oil equivalent. MMBOE represents million barrels of oil equivalent. 

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
Definitions” 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 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 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 singularly 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 that we reviewed were estimated by
performance methods, the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. Approximately 95 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 and material balance which utilized extrapolations of historical production and pressure data available through December, 2012, in those cases where such data were
considered to be definitive. The data utilized in this analysis were furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP and were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof. The remaining 5 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 analysis utilized pertinent well and seismic data furnished to Ryder Scott by PEP for our review that were available through December, 2012.
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 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 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 ending date of the period covered in 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, 2012 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 Pemex’s net volume weighted benchmark prices adjusted for
differentials for the properties reviewed by us by geographic areas and referred to herein as Pemex’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 in the Northern Region. The data
shown in the table below is presented in accordance with SEC disclosure requirements for each of the geographic areas within the Northern Region reviewed by us.

 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 or wells. 
 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. At PEP’s request, abandonment costs were not considered in our economic evaluation. 
 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, 2012. The implementation of PEP’s 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, political or economic obstacles that would significantly alter their plans. 
 The project known as Aceite Terciario del Golfo (ATG), and also known as Chicontepec, is authorized by the government of the United Mexican States having Authorization Number 00102001, which was granted
by the Secretaria de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP) to invest in the subject project starting in fiscal year 2007. PEP’s current investment portfolio includes the continued development and progression of the ATG project,
encompassing the required capital investments that are necessary to develop a major part of the proven plus probable reserves. As such, there exists a high degree of certainty or reasonable expectation that the investments required to develop the
proven undeveloped reserves will be expended. Nevertheless, due to the characteristics of the reservoirs that comprise the 29 fields in the ATG project and the delineation strategies for the non-proven reserves, a large number of the wells to be
drilled in the next five years are in the non-proven areas of the project thus resulting in a time period greater than five years in order to drill all of the 5,558 proven undeveloped locations in ATG assigned by PEP. As of January 1, 2013
there were also 2,644 active producers in the ATG project.

 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 PEP’s operated 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. 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 gives Pemex the exclusive right to exploit Mexico’s
hydrocarbon reserves, it does not preclude the Mexican Congress from changing current law and assigning some or all of these rights to another company. 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 operated by PEP; 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, 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, 2012 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 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 operated by PEP and owned by the United Mexican States. 
 Other Properties 
 Other properties, as used herein,
are those properties operated by PEP or by other operating companies, which we did not review, both within the Northern Region and in other regions. The proved net reserves attributable to the other properties account for 88.9 percent of the total
proved net equivalent barrels of reserves based on estimates prepared by PEP as of December 31, 2012. 

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.

 Standards of Independence and Professional Qualification 

Ryder Scott is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm that has been providing petroleum consulting services
throughout the world for over seventy-five years. Ryder Scott is employee-owned and maintains offices in Houston, Texas; Denver, Colorado; and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We have over eighty engineers and geoscientists on our permanent staff. By
virtue of the size of our firm and the large number of clients for which we provide services, no single client or job represents a material portion of our annual revenue. We do not serve as officers or directors of any privately-owned or
publicly-traded oil and gas company and are separate and independent from the operating and investment decision-making process of our clients. This allows us to bring the highest level of independence and objectivity to each engagement for our
services. 
 Ryder Scott actively participates in industry-related professional societies and organizes an
annual public forum focused on the subject of reserves evaluations and SEC regulations. Many of our staff have authored or co-authored technical papers on the subject of reserves related topics. We encourage our staff to maintain and enhance their
professional skills by actively participating in ongoing continuing education. 
 Prior to becoming an officer
of the Company, Ryder Scott requires that staff engineers and geoscientists have received professional accreditation in the form of a registered or certified professional engineer’s license or a registered or certified professional
geoscientist’s license, or the equivalent thereof, from an appropriate governmental authority or a recognized self-regulating professional organization. 
 We are independent petroleum engineers with respect to PEP. Neither we nor any of our employees have any interest in the subject properties, and neither the employment to do this work nor the compensation

 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.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) 
 and 
 PETROLEUM RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SPE-PRMS) 
 Sponsored and Approved

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.

 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.
