SYNERGY RESOURCES ANNOUNCES LYNN PETERSON HAS JOINED THE EXECUTIVE TEAM

PLATTEVILLE,  CO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/15 -- Synergy  Resources  Corporation
(NYSE MKT:  SYRG)  ("Synergy"),  a U.S. oil and gas  exploration  and production
company focused in the Denver-Julesburg  Basin, announced that Mr. Lynn Peterson
has  joined the  executive  team at Synergy as  President  of the  company.  Mr.
Peterson will work closely with co-CEOs Ed Holloway and William Scaff as Synergy
evaluates asset  acquisitions  and growth  opportunities in the Wattenberg Field
and the NE Wattenberg  Extension  Area. Mr.  Peterson is the former  Co-Founder,
President  & CEO of  Kodiak  Oil and Gas Corp  (Kodiak).  Kodiak a Bakken  shale
company  producing over 42,000 barrels of oil equivalent  (BOE) per day, with an
enterprise  value  over $6  billion,  at the  time of its  merger  with  Whiting
Petroleum in 2014.

Ed Holloway,  co-CEO,  of Synergy  remarked,  "I have often said that  Synergy's
greatest  asset is our people.  I believe the  addition of Lynn  Peterson to our
team will prove to be one of our most significant acquisitions. Lynn is a native
Coloradoan, whom I have known since the early 1970's when we were both attending
the  University  of  Northern  Colorado,  and he fits  well  into our  corporate
culture.  Lynn's  experience  in  building  Kodiak  from  the  ground  up into a
multi-billion  dollar  company will be  invaluable to Synergy as we continue our
rapid growth."

Lynn Peterson  commented,  "I am very pleased to be joining the Synergy team and
working with Ed and Bill, as well as the entire Synergy staff.  Synergy offers a
unique  opportunity  with the  strength of its balance  sheet,  and  significant
acreage position across the Greater Wattenberg Area. The Wattenberg continues to
deliver  some of the best  economics  under  current  industry  conditions.  The
combination of all of these attributes should provide us the opportunity to grow
the Company and create additional shareholder value during the coming years."

William Scaff, co-CEO, of Synergy added, "We have been positioning ourselves for
this "reset" of the industry for the past nine months focusing on lowering costs
in a lower  commodity  price  environment.  We believe our strong balance sheet,
which is in a net cash position, and the low interest rate on our revolving line
of  credit  allows  us to  take  this  company  to the  next  level  due to many
opportunities  we have before us. With Lynn joining our team,  we will  continue
our keen focus on growing  this  company  both through the drill bit and through
capitalizing on opportunities in one of the most prolific,  economic oil and gas
fields in North  America  - the  Wattenberg  Field.  We look  forward  to Lynn's
experience  and  leadership  in helping us to achieve the next level for Synergy
Resources."
