Forward-Looking Statements

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF
“SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This presentation of Gastar Exploration Ltd. contains forward-looking statements relating to Gastar’s operations that are based on management’s
current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words such as “anticipates,”
“expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates,” “budgets” and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and other factors, some of which are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil
and natural gas prices; changing refining, marketing and chemical margins; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses;
timing of crude oil liftings; the competitiveness of alternative-energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of
operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas
development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the
company’s net production or manufacturing facilities or delivery/transportation networks due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, sever
weather or crude oil production quotas that might be imposed; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future
environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and
litigation; the potential liability resulting from other pending or future litigation; the company’s future acquisition or disposition of assets and gains and
losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, industry-specific taxes, changes in fiscal
terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; the effects of changed accounting
rules under generally accepted accounting principals promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on
pages 23 through 35 of the company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic and
international economic and political conditions. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this presentation could also have material adverse
effects on forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as
required by law.
Estimates of Hydrocarbons. Certain terms, such as “resources,” “resource potential,” and “EUR,” or “estimated ultimate recovery,” and similar
terms, may be used in this presentation to describe certain oil and gas hydrocarbon quantities that are not permitted to be used in filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are
subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company. Estimates of EURs in this presentation were made internally by the
company after evaluation of limited production histories of wells drilled recently in the play by other operators. Horizontal drilling in the Hunton
formation in this area is a relatively new play with a limited production history and, as a result, such estimates may be subject to more uncertainties
than those in more established plays. Individual well reserves will vary and such estimates may prove to be incorrect.

Gastar Exploration Investor Presentation at Johnson Rice Energy Conference - Sept 30, 2013

  • 1. © 2013 Gastar Exploration Ltd. E X P A N D I N G O U R H O R I Z O N S J. Russell Porter Chief Executive Officer September 2013
  • 2. © 2013 Gastar Exploration Ltd. Forward-Looking Statements 2 CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This presentation of Gastar Exploration Ltd. contains forward-looking statements relating to Gastar’s operations that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates,” “budgets” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil and natural gas prices; changing refining, marketing and chemical margins; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; timing of crude oil liftings; the competitiveness of alternative-energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company’s net production or manufacturing facilities or delivery/transportation networks due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, sever weather or crude oil production quotas that might be imposed; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and litigation; the potential liability resulting from other pending or future litigation; the company’s future acquisition or disposition of assets and gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, industry-specific taxes, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principals promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on pages 23 through 35 of the company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic and political conditions. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this presentation could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Estimates of Hydrocarbons. Certain terms, such as “resources,” “resource potential,” and “EUR,” or “estimated ultimate recovery,” and similar terms, may be used in this presentation to describe certain oil and gas hydrocarbon quantities that are not permitted to be used in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company. Estimates of EURs in this presentation were made internally by the company after evaluation of limited production histories of wells drilled recently in the play by other operators. Horizontal drilling in the Hunton formation in this area is a relatively new play with a limited production history and, as a result, such estimates may be subject to more uncertainties than those in more established plays. Individual well reserves will vary and such estimates may prove to be incorrect.
