Estimated Reserves and Revenues | ||||
SEC Pricing | ||||
As of December 31, 2007 |
Dear Mr. Reid:
Oasis has requested that we prepare an alternative price case for the original report dated January
15,
2008. This alternative case represents the SEC Pricing on December 31, 2007. Using this alternate
case
pricing, we have prepared estimates of future reserves and projected net revenues for interests in
certain
oil and gas properties under contract to purchase by Oasis Petroleum (Oasis), with an effective
date As
of December 31, 2007. The properties of interest are located in the Williston Basin in North
Dakota and
Montana. All net revenue projections were prepared utilizing the SEC Pricing model.
Our conclusions, as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Report Qualifications
Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide Oasis and its financial advisors with
a
projection of future reserves and revenues associated with certain oil and gas interests currently
owned by Oasis.
Scope of Work W.D. Von Gonten & Co. was engaged by Oasis to independently estimate and
project the future reserves and revenues associated with interests in certain oil and gas
properties.
Reporting Requirements Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-K, Item 102
and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10, and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 69
require oil and gas reserve information to be reported by publicly held companies as supplemental
financial data. These regulations and standards provide for estimates of Proved reserves and
revenues discounted at 10% and based on unexcavated prices and costs. Revenues based on
escalated product prices may be reported in addition to the current pricing case. Probable reserves
are prohibited from use for SEC reporting purposes and should be excluded from such filings.
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) requires Proved reserves to be economically recoverable
with prices and costs in effect on the as of date of the report. In conjunction with the World
Petroleum Council (WPC), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of
Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE), the SPE has issued Petroleum Resources Management
System (2007 ed.), which sets forth the definitions and requirements associated with the
classification
of both reserves and resources. In addition, the SPE has issued Standards Pertaining to the
Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserve Information, which sets requirements for the
qualifications and independence of reserve estimators and auditors.
The estimated Proved reserves herein have been prepared in conformance with all SEC, SPE, WPC,
AAPG and SPEE definitions and requirements.
Projections The attached reserve and revenue projections are on a calendar year basis, with the
first time period being January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
Reserve Discussion
Reserve estimates for the Producing properties were based on a combination of 1) Extrapolation of
Production History and 2) Volumetric Calculations. The remaining Nonproducing and Undeveloped
reserves were necessarily estimated using volumetric calculations and/or analogy to nearby
production. The top three valued fields of the proved producing value are discussed below.
Target Field The Target Field represents the highest valued field and includes ten producing
wells
with one salt water disposal well. The field is located in Roosevelt County, Montana and produces
from the Ratcliffe formation. Current production rates are approximately 340 BOPD and 120 MCFPD.
Additionally, there is one PUD location in this field. Reserve estimates for the field were based
on a
combination of volumetric calculations in conjunction with the extrapolation of production
histories.
Harding Field - The Harding Field is the second highest valued field. It is located in McKenzie
County, North Dakota and produces from the Ratcliffe and Mission Canyon formations from ten wells
with one salt water disposal well since 1985. Current production rates are approximately 165 BOPD
and 114 MCFPD.
Red Bank Field - The Red Bank Field has the third highest value. Like the Target Field, it is also
located in Roosevelt County, Montana and produces from the Ratcliffe formation. There are four
producing wells and one salt water disposal well. Current production rates are approximately 164
BOPD and 38 MCFPD.

Reserves and schedules of production included in this report are only estimates. The amount
of available data, reservoir and geological complexity, reservoir drive mechanism, and
mechanical aspects can have a material effect on the accuracy of these reserve estimates.
Product Prices
The estimated revenues shown herein were based on the flat prices of $96.00 per barrel of oil and
$7.16 per MMBtu of gas which represents the December 31, 2007 SEC Pricing.
A basis differential has been applied to each property to account for the difference between prices
actually received at the wellhead and historical NYMEX prices. These differentials account for
transportation, geographical differentials, quality adjustments, marketing bonuses or deductions,
and
any other factors that may affect the price actually received at the wellhead.
Oasis has entered into contracts to fix the oil price differential between the wellhead price
received
and the NYMEX price. The current contract is -$5.00 / bbl for sweet crude and -$9.00 / bbl for
sour.
The 2008 forecasted volumes are 34% sweet and 66% sour. This results in a weighted average
differential of -$7.63 / bbl. We have applied this differential to all properties.
A comparison of the last five months of revenues from the profit and loss statements verifies the
-$7.63 / bbl differential.
All prices have been held constant throughout the life of the properties.
Operating and Capital Costs
Operating costs utilized in this report were estimated from monthly per field lease operating
expense
data for the time period of July 2007 through November 2007.
Capital costs, necessary to perform workovers, and/or remedial operations, were estimated and
provided by Oasis. These costs were estimated from actual recent work in the areas or actual AFEs.
W.D. Von Gonten & Co. found the estimates to be reasonable.
All operating and capital costs have been held constant throughout the life of the properties.
Other Considerations
Abandonment Costs Cost estimates regarding future plugging and abandonment procedures
associated with these properties were NOT supplied by Oasis for the purposes of this report. We
have assumed the rule of thumb that the costs necessary to abandon the properties are equal to
the
salvage value of the surface and subsurface equipment. As we have not inspected the properties
personally, W.D. Von Gonten & Co. expresses no warranties as to the accuracy or reasonableness of
this assumption. A third party study would be necessary in order to accurately estimate all future
abandonment liabilities.
Additional Costs Costs were not deducted for general administrative expenses, depletion,
depreciation and/or amortization (a non-cash item), or federal income tax.
Context We specifically advise that any particular reserve estimate for a specific property not
be
used out of context with the overall review. The revenues and present worth of future net
revenues are not represented to be market value either for individual properties, or on a total
property basis. The estimation of fair market value for oil and gas properties requires
additional analysis other than evaluating undiscounted and discounted future net revenues.
We have not inspected the properties included in this report, nor have we conducted independent
well
tests. W.D. Von Gonten & Co. and our employees have no direct ownership in any of the properties

and revenue estimates produced in this report.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist Oasis with this project.
