settlement includes the purchase of the Altamont assets, is net of
preliminary and customary purchase price adjustments and remains
subject to post-closing settlements between the parties. More

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and

from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including
the following: changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, the

other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical
factors affecting NOG’s operations, products and prices.
NOG has based any forward-looking statements on its current
expectations and assumptions about future events. While management
considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they
are inherently subject to significant business, economic,
competitive, regulatory, and other risks, contingencies and
uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond NOG's control. Accordingly, results actually
achieved may differ materially from expected results described in
