1 LOUISIANA ENERGY CONFERENCE Tuscaloosa Marine Shale An Emerging Oil Play June 27,

2 TUSCALOOSA MARINE SHALE Emerging Shale Oil Play Emerging shale oil play 132,000 net acres leased Net cost $30 million or ~ $225 / acre Average depth 11,000 13,000 TVD Thickness High quality crude (38 44 degrees API) LLS pricing and lower royalty burdens provide 15-25% uplift in economics 2

3 EIE CAA AIE HAE An unconventional oil resource play over approximately 2.5 million acres covering portions of four counties in MS and seven parishes in LA Silica rich shale with 90% oil and 10% high BTU gas (NGLs) A mature source rock of oil and gas for the lower Tuscaloosa sandstone (3.5 Tcfe produced to date), and the Austin Chalk formations in Mississippi and Louisiana Proven ability of matrix flow over long period of time from old, under-stimulated completions. In addition to matrix flow, significant vertical and horizontal fracture system will improve permeability and meaningfully contribute to production and EUR Resistivity profile of the TMS is the most diagnostic, log-based feature that can be mapped (4-9 ohms). Elevated resistivity in the TMS increases more as a function of burial depth than formation gross thickness, which is consistent with an interpretation of increased thermal maturity and hydrocarbons with depth Over-pressured formation will allow for high oil saturations and assist in liquids lifting 3
