Supply Developments Rockies: CO 2 Supply in the Rockies will increase by almost 0.7 Bcfpd over next 5-10 years. Mostly by development of Riley Ridge but also through several conversion projects. Supply, and CO 2 EOR industry, could quadruple in 5-10 years. Implications for oil industry in the region in general and consequent state economics. Permian Basin: Natural source supply will be lifted incrementally, but significant volume of additional supply will come from NG processing plants and conversion technologies. Midwest/Mississippi/ Gulf Coast: Natural source supply will be lifted incrementally, but supply will be supplemented massively by conversion project supply going forward. Ultimately, as Jackson Dome enters decline, majority of supply will be from anthropogenic sources. Mid-continent: Possible tie-in to Permian Basin system. Additional supply provided by conversion projects. Canada: Initiation of CO 2 Transport and Utilization system. CO 2 supply from upgrading processes. 12

Future Supply Riley Ridge Unit Will produce from LaBarge Field. Gas Plant currently under-construction does not include CO2 capture. CO2 capture facility currently being designed will initially supply ~130 MMcf/d and is planned to double over the next decade. Initial supply expected ~2017. DKRW Medicine Bow F&P Phase I CO2 supply ~100 MMcf/d, Phase II, if implemented, would double this amount. Contracted to Denbury. @ 3/2013 still seeking final financing piece. @ 6/20/2013 permit re-submitted, construction scheduled to start 7/2014, in operation mid-2018. UCG Linc Energy Powder River Basin based. Will provide CO2 to Linc projects Carbon Energy Green River Basin. Lease agreement with Anadarko includes CO2 off-take clause. At least 4 other entities considering some form of Hydrocarbon Conversion with CO 2 supply for EOR built in.

Forecasting CO2 EOR Incremental production Collaboration with Phil DiPietro from NETL Normally need a dimensionless curve Can be difficult, and at least very time consuming, to compile data. On a system and sub-system basis, we can use UR Net Use sensitivity analysis on historic data to determine best model (nominal, cumulative, average, SLM) and forecast system of UR Net in each system (e.g. Rockies, Permian, GC/MS) Assume perfect knowledge of supply capacity past and future. Use probabilistic methods to forecast actual sales. Use UR Net to calculate production from forecast sales. Not perfect but much better than resource based models currently used. 29

Future Projects Denbury/Elk - Grieve First injection reported March 2013. First incremental production expected late-2014 or early-2015. Denbury - Hartzog Draw Under development. First injection and first incremental production expected in 2016. Denbury - Bell Creek (MT) Injection has commenced. First incremental production expected 2 nd half of 2013. Linc Energy Glenrock area fields Under development Denbury - Cedar Creek Anticline (MT, ND, SD) Under development. Extension of Greencore expected. First injection and first incremental production expected in 2017. Magellen Petroleum - Poplar Dome (MT) Under development. Pilot project planned. Confidential Two other projects being investigated in Wyoming
CO2 Supply Great target, no supply. No supply does not mean no CO2. There are vast volumes of CO2 in Wyoming, but there is limited deliverability. LaBarge and Lost Cabin sources are fully utilized (or will be soon). Denbury had plans to get in to the BHB, but, after divesting BHB assets, have stepped back to focus on CCA. Will they be back? Several hydrocarbon conversion prospects floating around. Some of which consider current source/transport system as competitive threat. Consequently they are looking at regions isolated from the system (BHB and WRB). Problems associated with cost and policy. 32
Conclusions Development of CO 2 EOR projects in Wyoming continues. Supply capacity, CO2 sales and incremental production are forecast to increase over next 5 years. In 2012, CO 2 EOR produced 7.15 million barrels of oil (12.4% of total oil production) in Wyoming, 10.25 million barrels in the Rockies system. CO 2 EOR has produced 95.8 million barrels of oil from Wyoming reservoirs, and 208 million barrels in the Rockies system. CO 2 EOR, Condensate production (and the increasing influence of stimulated horizontal drilling) has reversed the decline of oil production in Wyoming.
