7 mcf/d Permian Problems With crude oil comes associated natural gas and produced water Gassy reservoirs can help drive oil production at least in the Permian s case. It isn t just the Permian that is the problem..gas EVERYWHERE Ultra Petroleum Pinedale, Wyoming High intensity completions have done wonders for oil production and even more for gas production (IPs and well productivity) Marcellus 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 Marcellus Reservoir Decline Curve 11,300 mcf/d Month Source: PetroNerds, DrillingInfo data PETRONERDS LLC

8 Permian Basin Geology and Stratigraphy The Permian hosts a vast amount of stacked payzones that are actively being drilled and further delineated for the best spacing and completion plans.

9 Still Early in the Game This is a highly layered mix of conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Intense layering Interbedded shales, sandstones, and carbonates The Permian Basin has a tremendous amount of potential in terms of stacked pay, but successfully developing these stacked payzones will take a lot of work and a lot of capital. Stringent leasing requirements in the Permian Basin often prevent optimal asset delineation Land rush, Wall Street push, and high acreage costs Now operators are trying to delineate, develop, and maintain leasing requirements all at the same time Cost inflation also causing problems with soo much activity in the Permian Local sand etc. Optimal spacing and completion design (frac) is key Still early in this ball game Inventory Well density, parent child problems, all coming into focus Source: Diamondback and Cimarex April 2018 Investor Presentations PETRONERDS LLC
