4 Proven Execution 2003-2010 SEC Reserves Prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. as of December 31 for each respective year. With a large inventory of drilling locations, we have been able to consistently grow proved developed reserves by converting our probable reserves to proved reserves During this period 2007-2010, we invested $120 million in over 350 well locations. This investment was the main factor for growth through 2008, 2009 and 2010 Revenues grew to $55 million from $17 million. Annual production grew to 9.2 BCFE from 3.0 Bcfe. Annual operating cash flow grew to $25 million from $5.2 million. Proved reserves rose to 115 Bcfe from 74 Bcfe.


 

5 Proven Execution Low cost growth through the drill bit F&D Costs three year average of $1.00/ Mcfe; Production Costs, including taxes--$1.22 to $1.74 per Mcfe G&A Costs equals 10.9% of revenues; among lowest among peer group with revenues < $140 million Source: Global Hunter Securities Among the top 100 E & P companies in the United States we rank as follows : -Ranked 7th best for all finding and development costs over last 3 years (1) -2nd best for lowest future development costs (1) -5 year compounded annual growth rate for reserves and production was 18% and 23 %, respectively, versus an average for the 100 companies of 2% and 1%, respectively (1)

15 Exploration Play--Main Fork Unit Main Fork Unit Project (formerly known as Christmas Meadows/Table Top Unit) Company previously drilled the Table Top Unit #1 well in 2007 Working with a major integrated oil and gas company that has option farm-in rights to advance further unit delineation, assist with costs related to seismic, environmental analysis and, if necessary, an exploratory well Prior seismic data has been reprocessed and a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey has been conducted Preliminary development well locations, pipelines and roads have been identified as part of a full field development environmental impact study being conducted by the USFS In 2011, surveying and associated archeological and biological studies are being conducted along with a source test in preparation for a potential 2D seismic acquisition program in 2012 Assuming the farm-in right is exercised, Double Eagle will have a 12%-16% working interest after payout for a company estimated 3 TCF target project


 

16 2011 Planned Drilling and Development Double Eagle plans to participate in up to 30 gross wells in 2011 $30 million in drilling capex in 2011 Development is focused on core, low cost fields Atlantic Rim Drilling Catalina unit-13 net CBM wells Niobrara test well expected to be drilled Pinedale Anticline- 16 conventional wells


 

17 Growth Strategy Mergers and Acquisitions Merge with companies to provide diversity in location and commodity Acquire additional exploration acreage Create economics of scale and take advantage of operational synergies Develop low cost fields to increase production and reserves Exploit Niobrara holdings and Table Top Unit holdings Explore new opportunities Focus on continued operational efficiencies to minimize development, production and G&A costs Maximize return for shareholders Enhance institutional awareness and broaden shareholder base Development and Exploration Cost Controls and Execution
