==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Good acreage position in Oklahoma 2P reserves of 5.1mmboe is meaningful if commercial

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Continue to review acquisition opportunities Primary driver is shareholder wealth creation

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [17 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Project needs several wells to determine commerciality but needs oil price to recover

Look at adding local infrastructure if available that would enhance value of project

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [17 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Looking at both upstream and downstream opportunities as well as new energy technologies and forms
