    Disciplined growth through the drillbit

    Exploit horizontal drilling potential of prospects

    Add acreage opportunistically

    Recent success into Weir Sand oil and gas formation increases oil exposure

    400 potential drilling locations on 70,000 acres

    Drilling program results in predictable production growth

    Drilling funded from cash flow

    Limited financial risk

    Drilling with partnerships and JV partners to prove up additional reserves

    Increased oil and gas production accelerates value creationNew technology drives cost of oil and gas finding costsdownUses existing pipeline infrastructure to move gasAdds to operational flexibility

    Reduces total wellsite footprint One horizontal location replaces three four vertical locations Pad drilling - multiple horizontal wells on single location

    Allows access to development of areas otherwiseinaccessible due to coal mining activities or difficult terrain
