Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements
2
Samson Resources Corporation (“Samson” or the “Company”) is making this previously undisclosed information available to its security holders in connection
with Samson’s previously disclosed evaluations of strategic alternatives with its existing creditors.  This information is not an offer or the solicitation of an offer for any
transaction and may not be used or relied on in connection with any transaction.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this presentation by Samson Resources Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements included in this presentation,
other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements or information regarding our future growth,
results of operations, operational and financial performance, business prospects and opportunities and future events. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,”
“continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “could,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” “foresee” and
negatives of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend on many events
and assumptions, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results include, but are not
limited to: (i) our substantial indebtedness; (ii) our ability to refinance, restructure or amend our indebtedness or otherwise improve our capital structure and liquidity; 
(iii) fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices; (iv) the uncertainty inherent in estimating our reserves, future net revenues and PV-10; (v) the timing and amount of future
production of oil and natural gas; (vi) cash flow and changes in the availability and cost of capital; (vii) environmental, drilling and other operating risks, including liability
claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations; (viii) proved and unproved drilling locations and future drilling plans; (ix) the effects of existing and future laws and
governmental regulations, including environmental, hydraulic fracturing and climate change regulation; (x) restrictions contained in our debt agreements; (xi) our ability to
generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness; (xii) our ability to make acquisitions and divestitures on favorable terms or at all; and (xiii) any of the risk factors and
other cautionary statements, including under the heading “Risk Factors,” described in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014,
and in the other documents and reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties referenced above occur, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Further, new factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such
factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this presentation, and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any
forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation.
The attached is a compilation of three sets of materials which were presented to (a) certain holders of under the Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement and (b) a group of
holders of Senior Notes due 2020 under the Senior Notes Indenture in June, July, and August of 2015.
Non-GAAP Disclosures
This presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these measures and reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are
included at the end of this presentation.

Mowry Horizontal Wells
Play Drivers and Risks
Overview
Emerging shale resource play
Regional marine shale documented by thousand of wells and
completion tests.
Key resource play components comparable to other successful
shale plays.
Significantly over-pressured.
80+ Mowry
permits in area of interest with 13 horizontal wells
drilled or drilling.
Resource potential has been significantly de-risked by wells drilled
by offset operators.
Current Operations
2014 Mowry
pilot well completed and producing
Successful hydraulic fracture completion and diagnostic work.
Production rate and formation pressure greater than expected.
Monitoring rates/pressure to estimate stimulated rock volume and
estimate ultimate recovery from this single stage completion.
Assessing economic viability and magnitude of resource
Tracking ever increasing Industry activity.

Business Plan & Long-Term Forecast Overview
32
The Company has prepared a three year business plan (the “Business Plan”)
In addition to the Business Plan, the Company has also prepared a long-term
forecast (the “Long Term Forecast”) through 2020 in order to help evaluate the
development of upside opportunities
Presented herein are the following scenarios:

A&D Considerations
49


A&D Strategy
Previously marketed assets can be sold at
proper time
San Juan, Wamsutter, Non-Core Mid-Con
Reduce scattered acreage & horizons to
simplify asset base
Leverage minerals & areas with limited
inventory to re-deploy capital into core
areas with upside potential
Focus on Bakken
&
East Texas
Reasonable leasing & acquisition prices in
offsetting leasehold
Utilize in house geologic and technical skills
Clear line on growth possibilities through
both small acquisitions and organic leasing
efforts
Targeting repeatable inventory
High return projects needed
Ability to ramp and sustain mid/high activity
levels
Strengthen portfolio by adding ability to
transact in competitive environments
Desire to consolidate following initial
acquisition
Most interested in basins where institutional
knowledge has already been developed

Overview
Acreage is primarily scattered
and non-op
San Juan and Wamsutter
Generally mature producing
assets
Exposure to all major plays in
the Permian basin
100% of current production is
non-op
99% is net fee mineral coverage
Current
Operations
Not an area of focus for
development due to low
working interests over multiple
plays
Continue to evaluate well
proposals from outside
operators
Continue to assess behind pipe
resource and workover
candidates
Few drilling opportunities
remain
Limited optimization
opportunities
Not part of future core area
Acreage is scattered over 50
counties
Interest is predominantly
composed of royalties/overrides
Minimal existing production

Marginal Well Update
Company has prioritized shut-in’s of wells which exhibit lifting costs in excess of current commodity prices
75% of Proven PV10 is concentrated in less than 800 wells
(1)
Since Jan 2014, Samson has divested of 2,900 wells (580 Operated)
Ongoing review for small divestiture packages
Non-Operated wells are also under review in lower commodities
~ 1,000 wells –
~30% of gross operated inventory shut-in between April and May 2015
Aggregate net production of ~6 MMcfe/d in 2
Quarter
Continue to produce marginal wells if:
Negative Op income is largely due to onetime repair
If lease operating efficiency is being improved
Producing in paying quantities and holding lease
Hedges in place may also influence shut-in strategy
State regulations vary in timing but no expectation that P&A program increases significantly in near future
Following the shut in initiative, 80-90% of operated wells exhibit positive cash flow at current pricing
