Today’s Key Takeaways
Substantially all D&C capital allocated to the Anadarko Basin
NFX’s STACK is best positioned to deliver decades of high return drilling – “NEW” Burgess 1H-18 STACK XL well sets record 24-hour and 20-
day average oil production rates per 1,000’ GPI
NFX is a proven operator and has taken multiple plays from concept to development – Today’s learnings are being applied “real-time” to our
development plans
NFX’s plan is deliverable, even at today’s commodity prices – Driven by strong Anadarko Basin oil growth
NFX’s solid capital structure is differentiating

“Upsized” Completions Enhancing STACK Oil Production
STACK type curve Oil EUR is ~470 MBO with ~60% production in the first 5 years STACK type curve wells estimated to “payout” in ~1.75 years Upsized completions performing above 1.1 MMBOE EUR type curve3
Payout in ~ 1.75 years2

Such amounts do not meet SEC rules and guidelines, may not be reflective of SEC proved reserves and do not equate to or predict any level of reserves or production

Other than historical facts included inthis presentation, all information and statements, including but not limited to information regarding planned capital expenditures, estimated reserves, estimated production targets,drilling and development plans, the timing of production, planned capital expenditures, and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Although,as of the date of this presentation, Newfield believes that these expectations are reasonable, this information is based upon assumptions and anticipated results that are subject tonumerous uncertainties and risks. Actual results may vary significantly from those anticipated due to many factors, including but not limited to commodity prices, drilling results, ourliquidity and the availability of capital resources, operating risks, industry conditions, China and U.S. governmental regulations, financial counterparty risks, the prices of goods andservices, the availability of drilling rigs and other support services, our ability to monetize assets and repay or refinance our existing indebtedness, labor conditions, severe weatherconditions, new regulations or changes in tax legislation, environmental liabilities not covered by indemnity or insurance, legislation or regulatory initiatives intended to address seismicactivity, and other operating risks. Please see Newfield’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent public filings, all filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),for a discussion of other factors that may cause actual results to vary. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed herein or in Newfield’s SEC filings could also have material adverseeffects on actual results. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Unless legally required,Newfield undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This presentation has been prepared by Newfield and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Newfield to be reliable, including independentindustry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on Newfield’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its reviewof internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although Newfield believes these sources are reliable, it has not independently verified the information andcannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.
Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Newfield’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery includethe scope of Newfield’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drillingservices and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological andmechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Newfield may use terms in this presentation, such as “EURs”, “upside potential”, “net unrisked resource”, “gross EURs”, and similar termsthat the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit in SEC filings. These terms include reserves with substantially less certainty than proved reserves, and no discount or other adjustment isincluded in the presentation of such reserve numbers. Investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in Newfield’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequentpublic filings, available at www.newfield.com, www.sec.gov or by writing Newfield at 4 Waterway Square Place, Suite 100, The Woodlands, Texas 77380 Attn: Investor Relations.
In addition, this presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures, which include, but are not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA. Newfield defines EBITDA as net (loss) income before incometax (benefit) expense, interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA before ceiling test impairments, gains on assetsales, non-cash compensation expense and net unrealized (gains) / losses on commodity derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not represent netincome as defined under GAAP, and should not be considered an alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. AdjustedEBITDA is a supplemental financial measure used by Newfield’s management and by securities analysts, lenders, ratings agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator ofNewfield’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities.
