2013 PLAN NYSE: SSN ASX: SSN 7 » NORTH STOCKYARD » Initiate 6 well, 160 acre infill program » Potential for 14 Bakken and Three Forks wells » HAWK SPRINGS PROJECT » Niobrara » Monitor production performance of first well (Defender). » Revise frac design in response to 9 foot effective fracture half length. » Closure pressure was much higher than anticipated and proppant selection was therefore incorrect. » Re frac two to three zones with ceramic is planned for March » Permian » Farmout Bluff Federal & American Eagle tests. » ROOSEVELT PROJECT » Observe the Continental Abercrombie well production. » Participate in the next Continental Resources well (Q1 2013) » Drill offset to Abercrombie well if EUR exceeds 350 Mbbls . » SOUTH PRAIRIE » Drill initial exploratory well.

 
 

NORTH STOCKYARD FIELD NORTH DAKOTA BAKKEN/THREE FORKS

 
 

NORTH STOCKYARD FIELD OVERVIEW NYSE: SSN ASX: SSN 9 » Located in the heart of the Williston Basin in Williams County, productive in the Bakken and Three Forks, surrounded by major players. » Samson is the operator with an average 60 % working interest and 46% net revenue interest, in 1,920 gross acres. » Samson owns 1,200 net acres; 100% of acreage is HBP. » Other key working interest partners include Continental Resources with 40% working interest, who have elected into the initial 4 wells. » Participated in 7 gross wells to date, 6 Bakken , 1 Mission Canyon. » Current net production of 176 BOEPD. » $10.7 million PDP reserves as at 31 December 2012. » NDIC approved 160 acre spacing January 10, 2013. » 2013 Plan » 6 initial infill drilling locations using pad drilling. » 14 infill in total.

NYSE: SSN ASX: SSN 11 NORTH STOCKYARD, WILLISTON BASIN » FIELD DEVELOPMENT » Bakken and Three Forks objectives » 6,000 ft. Horizontal development. » IP rates up to 3,000 BOEPD. » Rates have shown dramatic improvement as the Bakken technology developed. » SSN working interest around 30% in producing wells. » PARTITION AGREEMENT » Samson owned 30% in 3,840 acres. » Operator and their partners owned 30 %. » Continental Resources owns 40% acquired from Samson Resources (and were not involved in the partition agreement). » Operator has delayed infill development while it pursues the HBP on its larger portfolio. » Operator has therefore proposed and executed an acreage swap south to north. » As a consequence Samson now owns 60% in northern 3 sections and will be operator, whilst retaining 30% in the 7 producing wells.
