Exhibit 99.1
Double Eagle Petroleum Co. IPAA Oil and Gas Investment Symposium New York, April 13, 2010


 

2 Disclaimer This presentation may contain projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any such projections or statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that such projections will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those projected. A discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, such as decreases in oil and gas prices and/or unexpected decreases in oil and gas production, is included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Effective for the Company's December 31, 2009 Form 10-K, SEC guidelines were changed to also allow for disclosure of "probable" and "possible" reserves. We have used these terms in this presentation. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our 2009 Form 10-K, File No. 1-33571, available from us at Double Eagle Petroleum, 1675 Broadway, Suite 2200, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attn Investor Relations. You can also obtain this form from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

10 Midstream Infrastructure Growing source of fee-based revenue that is independent of gas prices Connects Catalina Unit to interstate pipeline 100% owned by Double Eagle 125 MMcf/d capacity; currently at 25.7 Mmcf/d Easy tie-in to third party production Own permits to extend north to additional distribution pipelines Low cost of operations Assures transportation out of Catalina Unit for future development volumes


 

11 Developing Exploration Potential Table Top Unit Filed for EIS review with USFS, awaiting approval Assessing need for additional seismic work; to be performed 2011 Potential 2-3 TCF target Niobrara Formation Niobrara Shale is up and coming play. Potentially similar to Bakken, Barnett or Marcellus; Established production history in Niobrara throughout Rockies in vertical wells; now being drilled using modern horizontal drilling and completion techniques; Current horizontal activity in DJ Basin and Southern Powder River Basins 200 miles east of Atlantic Rim area, including EOG, Kerr-McGee, St. Mary Land, Whiting Atlantic Rim area has established commercial Niobrara production, using traditional drilling and completion techniques; Double Eagle owns over 48,000 gross and 26,000 net acres in the Atlantic Rim area and over 27,000 gross and net acres of leases in other prospective Niobrara areas in Wyoming
