numerical specificity, certain forward-looking statements or information are based (1) upon assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, environmental, seasonal,
competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks including, without limitation, the ability to obtain debt and equity financings, capital costs, construction costs, well production performance, operating
costs, commodity pricing, differentials, royalty structures, field upgrading technology, and other known and unknown risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the
Company's control, and (2) upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change.

There can be no assurance that the results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements or information or the underlying assumptions will be realized and that actual results of operations or

Reserves Disclaimer
The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be
estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and governmental
regulations. The SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves. We have elected to use in this presentation “probable” reserves and “possible” reserves, excluding their valuation. The
SEC defines “probable” reserves as “those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.” The
SEC defines “possible” reserves as “those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.” The Company has applied these definitions in estimating probable and possible
reserves. 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 reserves reporting guidelines. Investors are
urged to consider closely the disclosure regarding our business that may be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The SEC’s rules prohibit us from filing resource estimates. Our resource estimations include estimates of hydrocarbon quantities for (i) new areas for which we do not have sufficient information to date to
classify as proved, probable or even possible reserves, (ii) other areas to take into account the low level of certainty of recovery of the resources and (iii) uneconomic proved, probable or possible reserves.
Resource estimates do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery and are therefore not indicative of the expected future recovery and should not be relied upon. Resource estimates might
never be recovered and are contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors.

WPX Non-GAAP Disclaimer


This presentation may include certain financial measures, including adjusted EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and exploration expenses), that are non-
GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This presentation is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they
are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare a company’s performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the
operating performance of the company and aid investor understanding. Management also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information regarding our ability to meet future
debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclaimers
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that the
company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a
number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the company. Statements regarding future drilling
and production are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and development and production of
oil and gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; uncertainties inherent in estimating oil,
natural gas and NGL reserves; drilling risks; environmental risks; political or regulatory changes; and disruptions to general economic
conditions, including disruptions attributable to pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Investors are cautioned that any such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date of this presentation, even if
subsequently made available by WPX Energy on its website or otherwise. WPX Energy does not undertake and expressly disclaims any
obligation to update the forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are urged to
consider carefully the disclosure in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available from us at WPX Energy, Attn: Investor
Relations, P.O. Box 21810, Tulsa, Okla., 74102, or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
