2. Forward‐Looking Statements, Oil and Gas Reserves and Definitions
Forward‐Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are “forward‐looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because such statements include risks, uncertainties and contingencies,
actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward‐looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are
not limited to, the following: the volatility of commodity prices for natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil; our ability to develop, explore for, acquire and replace
oil and gas reserves and sustain production; any impairments, write‐downs or write‐offs of our reserves or assets; the projected demand for and supply of natural gas,
NGLs and oil; reductions in the borrowing base under our revolving credit facility; our ability to contract for drilling rigs, supplies and services at reasonable costs; our
ability to obtain adequate pipeline transportation capacity for our oil and gas production at reasonable cost and to sell the production at, or at reasonable discounts to,
market prices; the uncertainties inherent in projecting future rates of production for our wells and the extent to which actual production differs from estimated proved
oil and gas reserves; drilling and operating risks; our ability to compete effectively against other independent and major oil and natural gas companies; uncertainties
related to expected benefits from acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties; environmental liabilities that are not covered by an effective indemnity or insurance;
the timing of receipt of necessary regulatory permits; the effect of commodity and financial derivative arrangements; our ability to maintain adequate financial
liquidity and to access adequate levels of capital on reasonable terms; the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions, including force majeure events; our
ability to retain or attract senior management and key technical employees; counterparty risk related to their ability to meet their future obligations; changes in
governmental regulation or enforcement practices, especially with respect to environmental, health and safety matters; uncertainties relating to general domestic and
international economic and political conditions; and the other risks, uncertainties and contingencies set forth in PVA’s Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010.
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our press releases and public periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward‐looking
statements, which reflect management’s views only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward‐looking statements, or to make
any other forward‐looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
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, 2010, 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 estimated quantities of oil and gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically
producible in future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and government regulation prior to the expiration of the
contracts providing the right to operate, unless renewal of such contracts is reasonably certain. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to
be recovered than proved reserves, but which are more 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 Situation Overview
What We’re Focused on Currently
 Increase oil and liquids exposure
• 40‐45% of 4Q11 production vs. 18% in 2010; cash flows expected to accelerate
• Eagle Ford driven through 2013, with goal to add more Eagle Ford and other oily inventory
 Retain long‐term optionality of core gas assets
• E. Texas, Mississippi and Appalachia – largely HBP; wait on gas prices
• Continue testing of Marcellus Shale position
 Build liquidity and maintain solid financial position
• Recent notes offering, tender for converts due in 2012 and accommodating new revolver
• Pending sale of non‐core Mid‐Continent (mostly Arkoma) gas properties adds to liquidity
• No maturities for 5 years and ample liquidity to fund CAPEX until free cash flow positive
 Explore and develop:
• Eagle Ford Shale
 Excellent early results
 Continue to build acreage position without overpaying or sacrificing quality
• “Everything Else”
 $777MM of YE10 PDP PV‐10 value at recent strip pricing (i.e., it has value)
 Granite Wash non‐operated drilling – economic oil/NGL play
 Operated gas drilling deferred in favor of oil/NGL drilling 3

5. Track Record of Growth
Quality Assets are the Foundation for Growth in All Cycles
• Solid growth over the past five years
• Increasing proportion of growth from oil and NGLs
– Trend should accelerate as a majority of future drilling activity is for oil and NGLs
• Retention of “gas option,” allowing for flexibility as gas prices improve

6. Solid Financial Position
Financial Flexibility to Execute Growth Plan
• Over the past few years, we have prudently managed our balance sheet
• Management has taken steps to maintain strong liquidity over the past few years
• PVA remains well‐positioned to fund its capital spending plans through 2012

7. Track Record of Value Creation
Lower Drill‐Bit F&D and Higher Rates of Return on Drilling Relative to Peers in 2010
• Historical statistics place PVA among the “best in class” ‐ 2010 was no exception
– Ranked 3rd in drill‐bit F&D and 6th in return on drilling dollars out of 38 top E&P firms1
– 2010 results driven by the Granite Wash; 2011 and 2012 results will be driven by the Eagle

9. Oil & Gas Price Sensitivities
Plenty to Do Despite Uncertain / Weak Commodity Price Environment
• All core plays are economic at 2012‐2013 futures strip pricing
• Our drilling is rate‐of‐return driven, opting to preserve and not destroy capital for the
sake of showing production growth, which is often sub‐economic
• We’re well above peers in return on drilling dollars – these charts show how we do that

10. Spending Less, But More in Oil & Liquids
2007 ‐ 2011 Capital Spending Increasingly Allocated to Oil & NGLs
• In 2010 we focused CAPEX on drilling in the Granite Wash
• For 2011 and beyond, we’ll be focused on drilling and expanding our position in the
Eagle Ford Shale and, potentially, other oily or liquids‐rich play types

18. Value Proposition
PVA Appears to be Significantly Undervalued on a Reasonable “Sum‐of‐the‐Parts” Basis
1 ‐ SEC pricing of $4.38 per MMBtu (natural gas) and $79.43 per barrel (crude oil)
2 ‐ Natural gas price varies between $5 and $6 per MMBtu, while assuming an $85 per barrel WTI price and $42 per barrel NGL price
3 ‐ Third‐party 3P reserve report as of 12/31/10; pretax PV‐10% values
4 ‐ Approximately 14,000 net Eagle Ford acres, using midpoint of estimated value range between $10K and $20K per net acre. 18
5 ‐ Approximately 55,000 net Marcellus acres, using midpoint of estimated value range between $500 and $4K per net acre.

19. PVA: Wall Street Myths vs. Realities
Apparent “Disconnect” Exists Between PVA Story and Wall Street Research
• “There’s the Eagle Ford and Everything Else”
• “Everything Else” is worth at least $777MM1, or $17.00 per share, providing a solid underpinning given PVA’s recent stock
price of $10.01, equity market cap. of $457MM and 6/30/11 net debt of $574MM – covers net debt, provides >$4 / share
• Upside includes undeveloped Eagle Ford, liquids‐rich Granite Wash / Cotton Valley, Haynesville Shale, Selma Chalk and
Marcellus Shale potential
• “Production Guidance for 2011 Was Cut, While CAPEX Guidance Went Up”
• Gas production guidance in 2H11 was indeed down, but oil and liquids production (i.e., revenue, EBITDAX and cash flow)
guidance was up2
• CAPEX guidance in 2H11 actually went down, not up, to $75‐85MM per quarter vs. $105MM per quarter in 1H112
• “PVA Has Unimpressive Production Growth, Given its Outspend of Cash Flow”
• Transition from natural gas to oil has slowed production growth in 1H11, but solid growth is expected to resume in 2H11
• Growing oil/NGL production & cash flows, while declining gas production, is an economic tradeoff
• Outspend will decrease and likely end in late 2012 / early 2013 with oil production growth and free cash flow thereafter
• “PVA Has Financial and/or Liquidity Problems”
• PVA has enough liquidity today to fund itself to the point at which it becomes free cash flow positive, while having no debt
maturities for five years
• Recent notes offering (7.25% offer yield), tender for converts due in 2012, new credit facility and leverage covenant (≤4.0x
to 4.5x future EBITDAX), together with the pending Arkoma asset sale, equals progress made on the liquidity front
• PVA’s borrowing base and cash flows are expected to increase as oily proved developed reserves are booked
1 – Pretax PV‐10 of YE10 proved developed producing reserves (i.e., no Eagle Ford Shale, no Marcellus Shale, no upside value) at futures strip pricing at close on 8/11/11

2 – Please see Appendix for latest guidance on FY11 and 2H11 as announced on 8/3/11

20. Why PVA?
A Track Record of Growth and Value Generation
• Diversified and valuable portfolio of high‐quality assets
• Track record of low‐cost, high‐return operations
• Allocating capital to build oil and liquids production
• Plenty of economic drilling locations, most of which are HBP
• Drilling and acquisitions focused on high return play types
• Retained option on natural gas assets
• Financial condition and liquidity is solid
• Significant production and cash flow growth expected
• Compelling value proposition
