Oil and Gas Reserves
Effective January 1, 2010, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only “proved” reserves, but also “probable” reserves and
“possible” reserves. As noted above, statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any
reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not
necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC’s latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in
PVA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which is available from PVA at Four Radnor Corporate Center, Suite 200, Radnor, PA
19087 (Attn: Investor Relations). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Definitions
Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geosciences 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 regulation
before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether the
estimate is a deterministic estimate or probabilistic estimate. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved
reserves, but which are as likely than not to be recoverable (there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the
proved plus probable reserve estimates). Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recoverable than probable reserves (there should be
at least a 10% probability that the total quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserve estimates). “3P” reserves refer
to the sum of proved, probable and possible reserves. Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production
as of that date.

3. PVA Overview
• Small-cap domestic onshore E&P company
• Very active in the Eagle Ford Shale oil play with excellent results to date
• HBP positions in East Texas, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi
• While transitioning to oil and liquids, we remain leveraged to an improvement in natural gas prices
• Executing a strategy of growth in oil and NGL rich plays
• The past two years have been transformational, as we have diversified our portfolio towards oil and liquids
• Successful drilling results in the Eagle Ford Shale – 57 wells on-line (50 in Gonzales Co. and 7 in Lavaca Co.)
• Adding to Eagle Ford drilling inventory
• AMI in Lavaca County with successful exploratory results to date
• Continued leasing and lease acquisition activity
• Strategy has resulted in significant growth in EBITDAX and cash operating margins
• Focused on improving liquidity
• Sold $155MM of common and preferred equity in October 2012
• Sold Appalachia (excluding the Marcellus Shale) for $100MM and eliminated $10MM per year dividend in 3Q12
• Received $32MM federal income tax refund in 3Q12
• Current borrowing base of $300MM, with >$350MM of pro forma liquidity and a zero revolver balance
• Oil production hedged from 4Q 2012 through 2014 at weighted average price of ~$100 per barrel
• Added in 2013 natural gas hedges
2
4. Business Strategy
• Continue our “Gas-to-Oil” transition
• Grew overall oil/NGL production 257% to 8,780 Bbls/day from 2Q10 to 2Q12
− Up ~70% from 5,165 Bbls/day in 2Q11
− Oil/NGLs contributed 55% of total pro forma production and 86% of product revenues in 2Q12
− Daily oil production alone grew 160% from 2Q11 to 2Q12
• Eagle Ford position built from initial 6,800 net acres a year and a half ago to ~30,000 net acres currently
− Up to 342 total well locations, with up to 285 remaining drilling locations
− Includes 117 down-spaced development and exploratory locations
• Continue to expand oil and liquids reserves and drilling inventory
• Continued leasing and expansion of Eagle Ford – recently acquired ~3,000 net acres plus ~2,000 net acres
associated with non-consents and miscellaneous leasing
• Exploration of other oil prospects
− Initial well in Viola Lime prospect in Oklahoma did not meet our expectations partially due to shorter-than-
planned lateral, but prospect is not condemned – additional drilling will be necessary
• Continue to grow oil and liquids production and cash flows
• Eagle Ford drilling emphasis in 2012 and 2013, recently increased from 2 to 3 rigs
• Continued focus on optimizing drilling and completion costs
• Continue to retain substantial gas assets for eventual price recovery
• Haynesville Shale, Cotton Valley and Mississippi Selma Chalk are primarily HBP
3
5. Value Has Shifted to Oil
• In mid-2010, PVA implemented a strategy to transition from dry gas to oil
• Since then, the decrease in gas prices and increase in oil & liquids prices has shifted the
market from a “6:1” to a “20:1” liquids-to-gas price environment (25:1 for oil)
• Examining revenue growth by commodity type reveals PVA’s true growth in value
Perception: “6-to-1” Equivalent Environment Reality: “20-to-1” Price Environment

6. Strong Margins vs. Peers
• EBITDAX has increased significantly since mid-2010 when we shifted our strategy to oil and NGLs
• Cash margin per Mcfe has also improved significantly due to the increase in oil prices and
declining operating costs per unit
• Eagle Ford cash margin was ~$14 per Mcfe (~$84 per Boe) in 2Q12(1)

8. Rationale for Recent Equity Offerings
• Prefunds capital expenditures in high-return Eagle Ford Shale
• Provides capital to continue momentum of increased oil production, oil reserves, operating
margins and cash flows
• Current liquidity of >$350 million and zero revolver balance with use of proceeds
• Repay outstanding balances on the revolving credit facility
• Cash of ~$55 million, undrawn revolver of $300 million and ~$2 million of letters of credit
• Offerings expected to “plug” funding gap through year end 2013, with revolver to cover future outspends
• Enhances flexibility to expand acreage in and maintain pace of development of the Eagle Ford
Shale
• Ongoing growth of cash flows and production
• Continued expansion of drilling inventory
• Improves positioning to explore or acquire additional oil prospects
