29. MAINTENANCE CAPITAL METHODOLOGY
⢠Maintenance Capital Calculation Methodology
â Estimate the number of new well connections needed during the forecast period in order to offset the natural
production decline and maintain the average throughput volume on our system over the LTM period
â (1) Compare this number of well connections to the total number of well connections estimated to be made during
such period and
â (2) Designate an equal percentage of our estimated gathering capital expenditures as maintenance capital
expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the
construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion
of existing capital assets) made to maintain, over the long term, our operating capacity or revenue

37. CAUTIONARY NOTE
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates
(collectively, â3Pâ). Antero has provided internally generated estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation in
accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions, which have been audited by Anteroâs third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted,
reserve estimates as of June 30, 2014 assume ethane rejection and strip pricing.
Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Anteroâs interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation.
Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Anteroâs ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity
prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease
expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological and
mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.
In this presentation:
⢠â3P reservesâ refer to Anteroâs estimated aggregate proved, probable and possible reserves as of June 30, 2014. The SEC prohibits
companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty
associated with each reserve category.
⢠âEUR,â or âEstimated Ultimate Recovery,â refers to Anteroâs internal estimates of per well hydrocarbon quantities that may be
potentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities do not necessarily
constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineerâs Petroleum Resource Management
System or the SECâs oil and natural gas disclosure rules.
⢠âCondensateâ refers to gas having a heat content between 1250 BTU and 1300 BTU in the Utica Shale.
⢠âHighly-rich gas/condensateâ refers to gas having a heat content between 1275 BTU and 1350 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1225
BTU and 1250 BTU in the Utica Shale.
⢠âHighly-rich gasâ refers to gas having a heat content between 1200 BTU and 1275 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1200 BTU and
1225 BTU in the Utica Shale.
⢠âRich gasâ refers to gas having a heat content of between 1100 BTU and 1200 BTU.
⢠âDry gasâ refers to gas containing insufficient quantities of hydrocarbons heavier than methane to allow their commercial extraction or
to require their removal in order to render the gas suitable for fuel use.
