Hydrocarbon Volume Estimates
This
presentation
includes
management’s
estimates
of
Marcellus
Shale
potential
recoverable
resources,
per
well
EUR
(estimated
ultimate
recovery
of
resources)
and
upside
potential
of
recoverable
resources.
Except
as
noted,
these
have
been
estimated
internally
by
the
Company
without
review
by
independent
engineers
and
do
not
necessarily
constitute
reserves.
These
estimates
are
included
to
demonstrate
the
potential
for
future
drilling
by
the
Company.
Actual
recovery
of
these
potential
volumes
is
inherently
more
speculative
than
recovery
of
estimated
proved
reserves.
Estimates
of
potential
recoverable
resources,
per
well
EURs
and
upside
potential
for
Company
oil
and
gas
shale
acreage
are
particularly
speculative
due
to
the
limited
experience
in
Marcellus
Shale
horizontal
development,
with
its
limited
production
history.
Ultimate
recoveries
will
be
dependent
upon
numerous
factors
including
actual
encountered
geological
conditions,
the
impact
of
future
oil
and
gas
pricing
and
exploration
costs,
and
our
future
drilling
decisions
and
budgets
based
upon
our
future
evaluation
of
risk,
returns
and
the
availability
of
capital
and,
in
many
areas,
the
outcome
of
negotiation
of
drilling
arrangements
with
holders
of
adjacent
or
fractional
interest
leases.
In
addition,
potential
recoverable
resources
are
based
on
undesignated
future
well
locations
under
assumed
acreage
spacing
which
may
not
have
been
specifically
included
in
any
definitive
development
plan
and
ultimately
may
not
be
drilled.
Accordingly,
such
estimates
may
differ
significantly
from
the
hydrocarbon
quantities
that
are
ultimately
recovered.
SEC
rules
prohibit
a
publicly-reporting
oil
and
gas
company
from
including
oil
and
gas
resource
estimates
in
their
filings
with
the
SEC,
except
proved,
probable
and
possible
reserves
that
meet
the
SEC’s
definitions
of
such
terms.
Illinois
Basin

(including
Lawrence
Field)
of
oil

other
resource
volumes,
oil
in

and
other

indicated
herein
are
not
based
on
SEC
definitions
and
guidelines.
Unless
otherwise
indicated,
estimates
of
non-proved

included
herein
may
not
meet
specific

1. Pore volume recovery assumptions based on full development program. Individual ASP unit results may vary significantly. Not proved. See “Hydrocarbon Volume Estimates” on page 3. 
ASP stands for Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer flood
Alkali-Surfactant mix reduces interfacial tension allowing remaining oil to flow easier through the formation
Polymer improves sweep efficiency by forcing fluid into parts of the field not effectively swept by the waterflood
Based on NSAI geological analysis and high grading of the acreage, 27 separate ASP units have been designed to date. 
Laboratory analysis on the effect of ASP flooding of cores from the field recovered 23% of OOIP (16% PV

Recovery)
Single well pilot test of ASP flooding in the field recovered 27% of OOIP (20% PV
