2 Corporate Information & Disclaimer This presentation may contain projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any such projections or statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that such projections will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those projected. A discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, such as decreases in oil and gas prices and/or unexpected decreases in oil and gas production, is included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Effective for the Company's December 31, 20010 Form 10-K, SEC guidelines were changed to also allow for disclosure of "probable" and "possible" reserves. We have used these terms in this presentation. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our 2010 Form 10-K, File No. 1- 33571, available from us at Double Eagle Petroleum, 1675 Broadway, Suite 2200, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attn Investor Relations.

5 Proven Execution Low cost growth through the drill bitF&D Costs three year average of $1.00/ Mcfe;Production Costs, including taxes--$1.22 to $1.74 per McfeG&A Costs equals 10.9% of revenues; among lowest among peer group with revenues < $140 million 2003-2010 SEC Reserves Prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. as of December 31 for each respective year.Our average gas price per Mcfe realized for the year ended December 31, 2010 is calculated by summing (a) production revenue received from third parties for sale of our gas, included in oil and gas sales on the consolidated statement of operations, (b) settlement of our cash flow hedges included within oil and gas sales on the consolidated statement of operations and (c) realized gain/loss on our financial hedges, which due to accounting rules is included in price risk management activities on the consolidated statement of operations, totaling $5,316 for the year ended December 31. This amount is divided by the total Mcfe volume for the period. We have been able to consistently grow proved developed reserves as a result of our large inventory of drilling locations as well as converting our probable reserves to proved reserves (CHART) (CHART)
