Business Plan - 2013
§ FOCUS + DELEVER + GROW
§ ReFOCUS Portfolio and CAPEX on Highest Returning Basins
§ Currently: Williston, Eagle Ford, PRB, Permian
§ DELEVER: Actively Pursue Divestitures
§ Properties trading above internal assessment of fair value
§ Lack of scale/high margin production
§ Exemplified by recent transactions for ~$22mm
§ Reduce leverage and maintain that profile
§ Target Debt/EBITDA < 2.0x by YE13 (1)
§ GROW: The Outcome of Sound Investment Decisions
§ Bakken/TFS:
§ Accelerate with company owned drilling rig
§ Eagle Ford:
§ Continuous drilling program
(1) Excluding building mortgage and rig loan which are secured by the building and rig, respectively. EBITDA definition per bank loan agreement (excludes Rig EBITDA)

Low Risk Development
Focus On Four Core Positions in Premier Oil Resource Plays Predominately HBP
§ Williston: 23,000+ net acres; Bakken, Three Forks
§ Eagle Ford: 7,300+ net acres: Eagle Ford, Buda
§ PRB: 17,000+ net acres; stacked potential
§ Permian: 40,000+ net acres: conventional & stacked pay opportunities
Premier Positions in Emerging Oil Resource Plays
§ Permian: 40,000+ net acres; exposure to numerous emerging plays
§ Canada: 45,000+ net acres Duvernay/Pekisko
Low Risk Conventional Development
§ Williston Basin: Red River/Duperow
§ Permian Basin: Spires Ranch - hz Strawn
§ Permian Basin: Delaware Basin - dry gas
