Strengths of the Wattenberg Field
 Wattenberg Field is highly defined by over 17,000 vertical wells
 drilled since the 1970’s
 Synergy has successfully completed 100% of its wells in the
 Wattenberg Field
 Significant upside potential: Multiple pay zones with horizontal
 wells targeting the Niobrara A, B, & C Benches and Codell
 formation
 Horizontal completion technology has enhanced well returns
 50 to 100% Internal Rates of Return from Horizontal wells(1)
 Long life production and reserves: 30+ years
 Low lifting costs: Year-to-date $4.32/BOE (9 mos. Ended
 5/31/13)
 Takeaway capacity: Expanding in Rocky Mountain Region

“We call it the ‘magic of the short-cycle oil in the U.S. onshore.’ It is the best you
can get. If we could find 20 more Wattenbergs, we would probably quit drilling
anything else.”
  - John Ford, Manager of Wattenberg Field for Anadarko, Oil & Gas Investor, 3/12

Horizontal Drilling
Expands Opportunity
 Advent of horizontal drilling has led to:
  Enhanced recovery of oil in place by 3 to 6 fold
 over vertical drilling
  Increased production
  Reduced costs
  Mitigated environmental impact
 Completed and brought into production the
 Renfroe Pad consisting of 3 Niobrara B and 2
 Codell wells in September, 2013
 Participated as a non-operator in 17
 horizontal wells in the Wattenberg Field and
 1 Niobrara B well in the Northern DJ (avg.
 working interest ~ 19%)
 Have received over 78 additional
 notifications for horizontal wells from other
 operators of which we have received 23 AFEs
 with average working interest of 5.2%
Horizontal Drilling Allows Multiple Wells on a
Single Pad that Reach Multiple Zones
