Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK)
announced today that its proved oil and natural gas reserves as of
December 31, 2021 were estimated at 6.1 trillion cubic feet
equivalent ("Tcfe") as compared to total proved oil and gas
reserves of 5.6 Tcfe as of December 31, 2020.

future net cash flows before income taxes of the proved reserves
(the "PV-10 Value"), was approximately $6.8 billion, using the
Company's average first of month 2021 prices of $3.33 per Mcf of
natural gas and $62.38 per barrel of oil.

Comstock produced 1.2 million barrels of oil and
489.3 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") or 496.5 billion cubic feet
equivalent ("Bcfe") in 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2021,
Comstock's production averaged 1.3 Bcfe of natural gas per day,
which was an increase of 12% over the fourth quarter of 2020. Total
reserve additions replaced 199% of the Company's 2021 production
with drilling activities providing 161% of the reserve replacement
in 2021.
The Company spent $628.2 million on drilling and other
development activities in 2021 to drill 100 (54.1 net) new
horizontal Haynesville and Bossier shale wells and to put 95 (56.4
net) wells on production during 2021. Comstock also spent $21.8
million to acquire proved oil and gas properties and $35.9 million
to acquire unproved oil and natural gas leases in 2021. Based on
the 2021 proved reserve additions, Comstock's "all-in" finding
costs were approximately 60¢ per Mcfe. Excluding acquisitions,
Comstock's drill bit finding costs were 71¢ per Mcfe in 2021.
