CORPORATE PRESENTATION September 2011

 
 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT This presentation includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect the current views of our management with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,”“will,”“expect,” “anticipate,”“believe,”“estimate”and “continue,”or similar words. Those statements include statements regardingour and members of our management team’s intent, belief or current expectations as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in these materials and our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These presentation materials should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and with our “Consolidated Financial Statements”and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011. Important factors currently known to our management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that these assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from these assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, history of losses, uncertainty of drilling results, inability toacquire additional leasehold interests or other oil and naturalgas properties, inability to manage growth in our business, inability to controlproperties we do not operate, inability to protect against certain liabilities associated with our properties, lack of diversification, substantial capital requirements and limited access to additional capital, competition in the oil and natural gas industry, global financial conditions, oil and natural gas realized prices, seasonal weather conditions, marketing and distribution of oil and natural gas, the influence of our significant stockholders, government regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, potential regulation affecting hydraulic fracturing, environmental regulations, including climate change regulations, uninsured or underinsured risks, aboriginal claims relating to our Canadian properties, defects in title to our oiland natural gas interests, material weakness in our internal accounting controls, and foreign currency exchange risks. Prior to 2010, the SEC generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Beginning with year-end reserves for 2009, the SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves. We use the terms “estimated ultimately recoverable,”or EUR, “resource potential,”“recoverable reserves”or other descriptions of volumes of hydrocarbons to describe volumes of resources potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques thatthe SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. Estimates of resource potential, recoverable reserves or estimated ultimately recoverable amounts do not reflect volumes that are demonstratedas being commercially or technically recoverable. Even if commercially or technically recoverable, a significant recovery factor would be applied to these volumes to determine estimates of volumes ofproved reserves. Accordingly, these estimates are by their nature morespeculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by us. The methodology for resource potential, recoverable reserves or estimated ultimately recoverable amounts may also be different than the methodology and guidelines used by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and is different from the SEC’sguidelines for estimating probable and possible reserves. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as ofthe date hereof, and we undertake no obligation, except as required by applicable securities legislation, to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

OPERATIONS PATH TO OPERATORSHIP –CONVERTING NON-OPERATED TO OPERATED Goal of 70% operated / 30% non-operated position ▪ Controls pace of development ▪ Maximize operational efficiency and reserve capture ▪ Control cost base ▪ Creates new business opportunities via vertical integration and joint ventures ▪ Increases universe of potential buyers Targeting >50% control of a unit, or >35% working interest without any other dominant operator in unit TRADITIONAL APPROACH ▪ Acquisition of smaller non-operated interests ▪ Letters of support from non-operators ▪ Acreage trades and swaps ▪ Acquisition of dominant position from other operators ▪ Top leasing ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AS OPERATOR ▪ Farm-ins ▪ Continued emphasis on top leasing ▪ Acquisition of distressed leases near expiration ▪ Use rig as leverage 19 To Date, Have Secured 24 Months of Operated Inventory in De-risked Core Area

 
 

Strategy ▪ Safety, environment and efficiency are paramount ▪ Capitalize on Bakkenknowledge and technology ▪ Plan for success; utilize flexibility in design ▪ Draw from integration of team’s experience in the Williston Basin Execution ▪ Focusoperations in de-risked Core Area; capitalize on the proximity of planned well pads and operations ▪ Limitexposure to conditions beyond Triangle’s control ― Minimize exposure to weather-related down time ― Decrease dependency on stressed, sensitive roads ▪ Maximizeefficiencies by reducing dependence on services that are in short supply ― Mitigate impacts from the stressed labor and supply market in the Williston Basin ▪ Utilizetrusted, long-standing relationships to secure the desired services DRILLING –XTREME RIG 7 Contract and Execution ▪ Two-year term, renewable ▪ Spud of first well early October 2011 ▪ “Sister rig”currently working in the basin Inventory ▪ 1,000 HP Draw-works ▪ 1,600 HP pumps ▪ Top drive ▪ Self skidding pad design ▪ Compact, small footprint –fewer truck loads OPERATIONS 20 OPERATIONAL STRATEGY AND EXECUTION

 
 

DRILLING UNIT LAYOUT OPERATIONS 1,280 Acre Drilling Unit ▪ 2 well pads per 1,280 unit ▪ Plan up to 4 wells per well pad ― Up to 2 Middle Bakkenlaterals (~9,800’ length in zone) ― Up to 2 Three Forks laterals (~9,800’ length in zone) ▪ Total of up to 8 wells per 1,280 Maximize Efficiencies ▪ Maximize oil recovery ▪ Condense drilling, completion, production operations ― Drilling: • Utilize rig’s skid system to move between wells on a pad ― Completions: • Batch complete multiple wells at a time ― Production: • Condense production equipment to a central location ▪ Minimizes site cost, truck movements ▪ Maximizes efficiencies of winter operations 21 Section Lines Well Pads
