COMMENTARY

Bootleg 6-14-15TFH lateral was drilled to a total depth of 18,410 feet in the Three Forks. A 4-1/2” production liner was run and cemented. Frontier Rig 24 was released Aug 10^th.

Frontier Rig 24 has skidded to Bootleg 8-14-15TF2H. This well is programmed to be a test of the 2^nd bench of the Three Forks, and was added to the schedule following a recently obtained spacing order from the NDIC. The lateral will be drilled in a westerly direction as were the previous Bootleg wells. Present operation is setting the conductor in preparation for drilling.

Slawson has permitted two new horizontal wells in the second bench of the Three Forks Formation in the North Stockyard project. Slawson’s development plan for the Three Forks Formation is to drill:

• 8 wells in the first bench of the Three Forks of which four have been drilled
• 6 wells in the second bench of the Three Forks, which Bootleg 8 is the first
• 8 wells in the third bench of the Three Forks

This will make a total of 22 wells in the Three Forks Formation and 36 development wells in the North Stockyard project. This will extend the drilling program by two years. At the end of this project the total well count in the North Stockyard Project will be:

• 6 vintage Middle Bakken
• 8 recent Middle Bakken
• 22 Three Forks

Bootleg 5-14-15TFH frac commencing today, the Bootleg 4-14-15TFH frac will follow.

A rig is on site repairing the liner on the Matilda Bay 1. Following this work-over, the fracture stimulation program will begin.

The Matilda Bay 2 well is currently shut-in due to the load line on the production tanks being damaged. The load line is currently under repair.

Samson’s working interest and its net revenue interest for the North Stockyard Project is set out in the following table:

Well	Working interest	Net revenue Interest
Billabong 2-13-14HBK	28.77220%	22.01073%
