Comment: the numbers speak for themselves. One interesting line item: in 2010, CLR reported a one-time gain of $26 million on mark-to-market derivative instruments; one year ago, no gain was reported. CLR set aside $44 million for income taxes (against $217 million in crude oil and natural gas sales + $26 million for gain from derivative instruments = 18%.
