Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 12, 2013, we issued a press release announcing the results of updated reserve reports prepared by Ryder Scott Company for our reserves in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska as well as the reserves we expect to acquire upon the closing of our planned acquisition of the North Fork Unit in that region. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is our press release relating to the update referred to in Item 8.01 below.
Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is it incorporated by reference into any filing of Miller Energy Resources, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 9, 2013, we received a new reserve report (the “CIE Report”) from the Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (“RSC”) estimating the value and amounts of the hydrocarbon reserves held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Cook Inlet Energy, LLC, in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska. On December 10, 2013, we received a second reserve report (the “NFU Report”) from RSC estimating the value and amounts of the hydrocarbon reserves attributable to the North Fork Unit in the Cook Inlet region. As previously reported by us on November 25, 2013, we have entered into a binding agreement for the acquisition of the North Fork Unit.
The CIE Report and NFU Report give the following estimates of our proved developed reserves, rounded off:
