Recent Developments D-J Basin Facts o The Denver-Julesburg Basin (D-J Basin) is a hydrocarbon-rich area centered in northeast Colorado that extends into southeast Wyoming, western Nebraska and Kansas. o The D-J Basin includes the Niobrara shale formation, which is showing promise to be the next prolific horizontal resource. o Relative to other producing regions, the D-J Basin is considered a "Legacy Top 10 U.S. Field" o The Wattenberg Field (in the D-J Basin) is the 7th largest field in the U.S. in terms of proved gas reserves and 9th in production. o It also ranks 18th in oil reserves and 26th in production with over 20,000 wells drilled. o In late 2005, a change to 20 acre spacing in this field is estimated to add an incremental 1.6 trillion cubic feet to the recoverable reserve base. Current Producers in the Wattenberg and D-J Basin Some of the large independents active in the region are giving further validity to the play: o Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) - Market Cap 21.21B - Recently sold part of their interest in the Niobrara for over $4,800 per acre total consideration o Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) - Market Cap $16.92B - Has 6 vertical rigs and 2-3 horizontal rigs in the region, expanding to 5 horizontal rigs in 2011 o EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) - Market Cap $29.34B - Has 3 rig drilling program in the region and plan on 40 new wells in 2011 o Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) - Market Cap $40.58B - Plans to drill 470-500 vertical wells, 20-30 horizontal wells, and refrac 500+ zones in 2011 o Petroleum Development Corporation (NasdaqGS: PETD) - Market Cap $1.10B o EnCana (NYSE: ECA) - Market Cap $25.66B o Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) - Market Cap $37.52B - Entered into a joint venture with Marubeni Corp, in which a subsidiary of Mauribeni will pay $270 million for a 30% working interest in MRO's 180,000 net acres in the Niobrara formation equating to roughly $5,000 per acre.

Northland Capital Markets Equity Research. February, 2011. Summary The management team has a very well-defined and clear plan for creating shareholder value which includes: - Continuing to expand our acreage footprint - Utilizing an aggressive program of drilling oil and gas wells in proven areas with a relatively predictable return and low-risk history leveraging the management teams experience and expertise in the Basin - Leave the Niobrara potential behind pipe until the best practices are vetted out by the larger players - Move forward to a listing on a national exchange
