SYNERGY RESOURCES CONSOLIDATES POSITION IN NE WATTENBERG GREENHORN PROSPECT WITH
ADDITIONAL LEASEHOLD

PLATTEVILLE,  CO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/22/15 -- Synergy  Resources  Corporation
(NYSE MKT:  SYRG)  ("Synergy")  has agreed to purchase the remaining 35% working
interest in the DJ Basin  Greenhorn  (AMI) owned by its  non-operating  partner,
Foreland  Investments  LP. The  transaction  is  scheduled to close on May 28th,
subject to customary closing  conditions.  This acquisition gives Synergy a 100%
working  interest in the AMI and  increases  its acreage  position in the AMI by
15,789 net acres. Upon closing Synergy will have approximately  93,000 net acres
in the Greater Wattenberg, including 36,643 net acres in the Core Wattenberg and
over 56,000 net acres in the NE Wattenberg Extension Area. The purchase price of
the  conveyed  interests  is $250 per net acre,  payable in  323,745  restricted
shares of Synergy's common stock,  equating to approximately $3.95 million based
on $12.19 price per share.  William  Scaff Jr.,  co-CEO,  of Synergy  commented,
"Over the past twelve  months we have been  pursuing a higher  working  interest
percentage  in all of our  operated  assets  both in the core of the  Wattenberg
Field and in the Extension Area. This  acquisition in the AMI is consistent with
that  objective.  We are pleased  that our  non-operating  partner has chosen to
receive payment in the form of restricted  shares of our common stock,  which we
view as a vote of confidence in the Greenhorn prospect as they will be an equity
partner going  forward.  We are  preparing to spud the first well  targeting the
Greenhorn formation, the Conrad 44-1GHZ well. Ensign Rig #131 is on location and
is currently rigging up."
