Midstates Petroleum Company, Inc. MPO (the “Company” or “Midstates”)
today announced that it grew its year-end 2012 estimated proved reserves to
75.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”), up 188% from 26.2 MMboe at
year-end 2011. Midstates' reserves were fully engineered by its third-party
reserve engineers, Netherland Sewell and Associates (“NSAI”). See notes below
for additional disclosures regarding definitions of terms used in this
release.
Year-end 2012 reserves were comprised of 50% oil, 19% natural gas liquids
(“NGLs”) and 31% natural gas. Of the total reserves, 37% are proved developed.
Geographically, 36.8 MMBoe are in Louisiana, a 40% increase over 2011 year-end
reserves, and 38.7 MMBoe are in Oklahoma. Midstates operates 94% of its
reserves and improved its reserve life at year-end 2012 to 13.3 years using
year-end 2012 proved reserves divided by annualized fourth quarter 2012
production rates.

During 2012, extensions, discoveries, and other additions added 20.9 MMBoe
reflecting organic reserve replacement of 572% of 2012 production. The organic
growth in Louisiana reserves was primarily from successful drilling activity
during 2012 in the Pine Prairie and North Cowards Gully fields while fourth
quarter drilling activity in the Mississippian Lime play in Woods and Alfalfa
Counties added to Oklahoma reserves. Total Company production in 2012 was 3.6
MMBoe.
Acquisitions in 2012 added 35.0 MMBoe, all of which related to the purchase of
reserves from Eagle Energy Production, LLC (“Eagle”) that was effective
October 1, 2012. At year-end 2012, the Oklahoma reserves totaled 38.7 MMBoe,
comprised of 38% crude oil, 22% NGLs, and 40% natural gas. All in, including
acquisitions, drill bit additions, and revisions, Midstates replaced 1,446% of
total 2012 production. Revisions to previous reserve estimates totaled 3.0
MMBoe. While West Gordon accounted for 1.6 MMBoe of those revisions, net
reserves at West Gordon remained largely unchanged due to reserve additions
from drilling activities in the north fault block.
