22 WOODFORD HUNTON Anadarko Basin Logs leased from TGS thick Hot gamma throughout Higher and more variable porosity Lower and more uniform resistivity Underlain by Hunton and Sylvan Bounded by pressure Significant liquids-rich zone

23 Cherokee Platform Woodford Oil Play MISS LIME WOODFORD HUNTON SYLVAN VIOLA Logs leased from TGS Variable thickness ( ) Variable lithology Variable thickness of Miss above Unconformable base Structural complexity

26 2014: High Fluid Volume

27 Double Plays: Filling the Value Gap Piggyback conventional drilling on horizontal development in lease fairways HBP with profitable foundation production from vertical development Long term reserve growth from horizontal development

28 Oklahoma s Oil and Gas Landscape Horizontal drilling moves the needle and creates an opportunity in the vertical value gap High fluid volume plays elevate the importance of artificial lifting and surface operations Heterogeneous reservoirs require a renewed focus on trap configuration and geologic insight
