Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") regarding the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in and incorporated by reference into this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States ("U.S.") Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, guidance, vision and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements herein. These statements relate to, among other things: the recent Delaware Basin acquisitions; estimated future production (including the components of such production), sales, expenses, cash flows, liquidity and balance sheet attributes (including leverage ratios); estimated crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) reserves; the impact of prolonged depressed commodity prices, including potentially reduced production and associated cash flow; anticipated capital projects, expenditures and opportunities; expected capital budget allocations; operational flexibility and ability to revise development plans, either upward or downward; availability of sufficient funding and liquidity for the capital program and sources of that funding; expected net settlements on derivatives for 2017; future exploration, drilling and development activities, including non-operated activity, the number of drilling rigs expected to run and lateral lengths of wells; expected 2017 production and timing of turn-in-lines; potential for future impairments; expected expansion of gas processing systems and expected line pressure; compliance with debt covenants; impact of litigation on the results of operations and financial position and future strategies, plans and objectives, including all multi-year forecasts and activity projections through 2019.

The above statements are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements herein. Although forward-looking statements made in this presentation reflect PDC’s good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to PDC. Forward-looking statements are always subject to risks and uncertainties, and become subject to greater levels of risk and uncertainty as they address matters further into the future. Throughout this presentation, the Company uses the terms “outlook,” “projection”, “vision” or similar terms or expressions, to indicate that it has “modeled” certain future scenarios. PDC typically uses these terms to indicate its current thoughts on possible outcomes relating to its business or the industry in periods beyond the current fiscal year. In addition to being subject to additional levels of uncertainty generally, forward-looking statements regarding such prospective matters do not necessarily reflect the outcomes the Company views as the most likely to occur, but instead are shown to illustrate aspects of its business in the context of a variety of scenarios it believes to be plausible.

PDC urges you to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and disclosures, specifically those under Item 1A, Risk Factors, made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and PDC’s other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (”SEC”), which are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein, for further information on risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. PDC undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance occurring after the date of this presentation or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events. All forward looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of each such measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is presented in the Appendix hereto. We use "adjusted cash flows from operations," "adjusted net income (loss)," "adjusted EBITDA“, and “adjusted EBITDAX” and "PV-10," non-GAAP financial measures, for internal reporting and providing guidance on future results. These measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We strongly advise investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP. Rate of return estimates do not reflect lease acquisition costs or corporate general and administrative expenses. Non-proved estimates of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons and EURs may not correspond to estimates of reserves as defined under SEC rules. Resource estimates and estimates of non-proved reserves include potentially recoverable quantities that are subject to substantially greater risk than proved reserves.

8/14/2017 21

• Integration initiatives and facility upgrades/investments since time of acquisition have led to increased PDP in Central area

• February: Gas line upgrade

─ Replaced ~12 miles of poly gas lines with steel lines

─ Increased operational pressure capabilities

• April: Second Westeros compression upgrade

─ Increased capacity from ~10 MMcf/d to ~20 MMcf/d

─ Enable production optimization projects (lower LOE)

• June: Additional compression added

─ Increased capacity from ~20 MMcf/d to ~40 MMcf/d

─ Ample capacity for near-term development plan

Includes seven legacy wells: Jaymac, Ron, Tisdale, Helbing (2), Winchester and Atlantis

Long-Term Delaware Midstream Vision – Roadmap to Incremental Value Creation

Long-Term: Evaluate midstream ownership options – 100% ownership, Joint Venture, potential full or partial monetization

Create separate fee structures for in-field midstream services

Crude oil gathering systems with initial focus on Eastern area

Long-Term: Evaluate potential 3rd party volumes and options to operate and/or participate in gas processing plants and related infrastructure

Fresh water supply distribution options and potential produced water recycling systems

Build out PDC midstream assets & infrastructure to support development plans – 100% PDC owned

Kersey Area – Growing Oil Volumes

• Oil volumes per well continue to grow

• GOR typically stabilizes after 18-36 months

• MRL and XRL wells represent recent completion design improvements

─ SRL 490 MBoe EUR still based on 2015 completion design

─ SRL upside projects 600 MBoe EUR (based on % improvement similar to MRL and XRL type curves)

• SRL, MRL and XRLs represent 36%, 29% and 35% of 2017 planned Wattenberg development (TILs)

Based on Previous Analyst Day Type Curves
