In accordance with SEC guidelines ("SEC Case"), for the year-end 2010, reserve calculations were based on the average first day of the month price for the prior 12 months. The prices utilized for Gulfport's year-end 2010 reserve report were $76.16 per barrel of crude oil and $4.38 per MMBTU of natural gas. Utilizing these prices, the present value of Gulfport's total proved reserves discounted at 10% (referred to as "PV-10") was $393 million at December 31, 2010, which represents a 49% increase from year-end 2009. The PV-10 value of our total proved and probable reserves was $679 million at December 31, 2010, which represents a 93% increase from year-end 2009. In addition to the SEC Case, Gulfport has also prepared estimates of its year-end PV-10 values using two alternate commodity price assumptions. The following table summarizes Gulfport's PV-10 values as of December 31, 2010 under each of the three cases.

1The Flat Price Case was based on the posted spot prices as of December 31, 2010 for both oil and natural gas. For oil and natural gas liquids, the West Texas Intermediate posted price of $91.38 per barrel was adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. For natural gas, the Henry Hub spot price of $4.41 per MMBTU was adjusted by lease for energy content, transportation fees, and regional price differentials. Such prices were held constant throughout the estimated lives of the reserves.
2The NYMEX Case was based on the forward closing prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for oil and natural gas as of March 1, 2011. For oil and natural gas liquids, the price was based on a crude oil price which increased from $99.63 per barrel to $105.01 per barrel during the life of the reserves and was adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. For natural gas, the price was based on a natural gas price which increased from $3.87 per MMBTU to $7.95 per MMBTU over the life of the properties and was adjusted by lease for energy content, transportation fees and regional price differentials.
Oil Sands Reserves and Resource
Effective October 1, 2010, third party engineers, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. ("GLJ"), provided an assessment report to Grizzly Oil Sands ULC ("Grizzly"), a company in which Gulfport holds an approximate 25% equity interest, estimating that Grizzly has 98 million barrels of Proved + Probable (2P) reserves attributable to the Algar Lake Project, 1.850 billion barrels of Best Estimate (P50) Contingent Resource and 202 million barrels of Best Estimate (P50) Prospective Resource. Mapping for the independent reserve and resource assessment identified that Grizzly had 14.2 billion barrels of discovered bitumen initially in place and 4.5 billion barrels of undiscovered bitumen initially in place. Grizzly's properties to be explored during the upcoming 2010/2011 winter drilling season were not included in GLJ's evaluation.
The following table summarizes GLJ's determination of Grizzly's reserves and resources effective October 1, 2010.

Operational Update
Thailand
Tatex III, a company in which Gulfport owns a 17.9% interest, recently concluded drilling operations on TEW-E, the second of two exploratory wells being drilled on an approximate one-million acre concession block in northeastern Thailand. TEW-E was drilled to a total depth of 15,026 feet and logged over 5,000 feet of apparent possible gas saturated column. TEW experienced gas shows and carried a flare measuring up to 25 feet throughout drilling below the intermediate casing point of 9,695 feet. Tatex III is currently in the process of completing the well and preparing it for flow testing. Tatex III's first exploratory well, TEW-B, was temporarily abandoned pending further scientific evaluation.
Canadian Oil Sands
In the Canadian Oil Sands, Grizzly is currently conducting an active winter drilling program. Grizzly has drilled a total of 68 core holes to-date and currently anticipates drilling a total of 71 core holes by the end of the 2010/2011 winter drilling season. Grizzly currently plans to issue an updated reserve and resource report integrating the results of its 2010/2011 winter drilling program in mid-2011.
Permian
In the Permian, 25 gross (11.2 net) wells were drilled and four gross (2 net) up-hole recompletions were performed on Gulfport's acreage during 2010. In addition, Gulfport continued to add to its acreage position in the Permian in 2010, most recently acquiring an additional 800 net acres in Andrews County during the fourth quarter of 2010, bringing Gulfport's total position in the play to 14,723 net acres. Subsequent to 2010, five gross (2.5 net) wells have been spud on Gulfport's acreage two of which are currently drilling ahead.
Hackberry
At East Hackberry, Gulfport drilled and completed eight productive wells and performed ten recompletions during 2010. At present, a barge rig is drilling ahead at a depth of approximately 6,604 feet on Gulfport's joint exploration lands at Central Hackberry. In addition, Gulfport also has a land rig active at East Hackberry and is currently drilling ahead at a depth of approximately 7,202 feet on the second well of 2011 at East Hackberry.
WCBB
At WCBB, Gulfport drilled and completed 23 productive wells and performed 72 recompletions during 2010. Subsequent to 2010, Gulfport has drilled and completed two productive wells at WCBB and performed twelve recompletions during 2011. The barge rig has since mobilized to East Hackberry and is currently drilling Gulfport's Central Hackberry prospect that was acquired through a joint exploration agreement in 2009.
Niobrara
In the Niobrara, permitting activity related to Gulfport's 60 square mile 3-D seismic survey over Gulfport's Craig Dome prospect is ongoing. Due to early season winter storms which deposited a thick layer of insulating snow, the land encompassed by Gulfport's planned 3-D seismic survey did not freeze adequately to facilitate seismic operations during the winter 2011 without damaging the surface. As such, Gulfport currently expects to begin shooting the 3-D seismic survey over its Craig Dome prospect in mid 2011. Gulfport currently plans to drill approximately four to five gross wells at its Craig Dome prospect during 2011.
Utica
In February 2011, Gulfport entered into an agreement to acquire certain leasehold interests located in the Utica Shale in Ohio. The agreement also grants Gulfport an exclusive right of first refusal for a period of six months on certain additional tracts leased by the seller. Windsor, an entity controlled by Wexford Capital and the operator of our acreage in the Permian, has agreed to participate on a 50/50 basis in the acquisition of all of the leases described above. Gulfport will be the operator on this acreage in the Utica Shale. The purchase price for Gulfport's 50% interest in the initial acreage is approximately $31,625,000, subject to certain closing adjustments. This transaction is expected to close in mid-May 2011. Gulfport currently estimates its proposed acreage position in the Utica Shale to be approximately 27,500 gross (13,750 net) acres.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that Gulfport expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strength, goals, expansion and growth of Gulfport's business and operations, plans, market conditions, references to future success, reference to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by Gulfport in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with Gulfport's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic, market, credit or business conditions; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by Gulfport; competitive actions by other oil and gas companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Gulfport. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by Gulfport will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on Gulfport, its business or operations. Gulfport has no intention, and disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax expense, accretion expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to cash provided by operating activity before changes in operating assets and liabilities. The Company has presented EBITDA because it uses EBITDA as an integral part of its internal reporting to measure its performance and to evaluate the performance of its senior management. EBITDA is considered an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company's business. EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depletion, depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company's business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets and the impact of related impairments through other financial measures, such as capital expenditures, investment spending and return on capital. Therefore, the Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to its investors regarding its performance and overall results of operations. EBITDA and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are not intended to represent funds available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The EBITDA and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in the Company's various agreements.
Oil Sands Reserves and Resource Notes:
(1) Probable reserves are defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") as those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
(2) Contingent Resources are defined in the COGE Handbook as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.
(3) Prospective Resources are defined in the COGE Handbook as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects.
(4) Best Estimate as defined in the COGE Handbook is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation. If probabilistic methods are used, this term is a measure of central tendency of the uncertainty distribution (P50).
(5) It should be noted that reserves, Contingent Resources and Prospective Resources involve different risks associated with achieving commerciality. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for Grizzly to produce any portion of the Contingent Resources. There is no certainty that any portion of Grizzly's Prospective Resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the Prospective Resources. Grizzly's Prospective Resource estimates discussed in this press release have been risked for the chance of discovery but not for the chance of development and hence are considered by Grizzly as partially risked estimates.
