Evolution of The Williston Basin www.blackridgeoil.com 4  Phase 1: Land Grab, 2007 - 2009  Leases in heart of play acquired for < $500/acre, 3 - 5 year terms, 81.25% NRI  Prolific Estimated Ultimate Recoveries (EUR’s) in Parshall and Sanish fields resulted in high returns that overshadowed mediocre performance outside of core areas  Phase 2: HBP (Held By Production) Drilling, 2010 - 2013  Scramble to get first well drilled to avoid lease expiration  Drilling / Completion capex and lease costs increase  Result: basin - wide IRR% reduction  Phase 3: Infill Drilling, Stacked Pay Zones, Present Day  Majority of leases are now Held By Production  Operators begin to develop remaining inventory and test spacing between adjacent wells  Pad drilling and supply / demand reducing capex costs  Improved completion designs are increasing EUR’s  IRR% increasing across the basin  Non - operators need capital to participate in drilling

Why The Non - Operator Business Model? www.blackridgeoil.com 5  Ability to selectively invest in the highest return projects, without the need to control a drilling unit  Knowledge and data from over 300 gross wells to make capital allocation decisions  Low cost structure  Fragmented nature of non - operator leaseholds will continue to provide growth opportunity as the play matures  Increased capex visibility due to downspacing /pad drilling
