These are statements, other than statements of historical fact, that give current expectations or forecasts of future events, including without limitation: drilling plans; planned wells; rig count; our 2021 capital budget and the planned allocation thereof; reserve estimates; expectations regarding future economic and market conditions and their effects on us (including the economic impact of global pandemics); our financial and operational outlook and ability to fulfill that outlook; our financial position, balance sheet, liquidity and capital resources and the benefits thereof. These statements typically contain words such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;predicts,&#8221; &#8220;targets,&#8221; &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;would&#8221; or similar words, indicating that future outcomes are uncertain. In accordance with &#8220;safe harbor&#8221; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. </p>
