8 II. Strategic Plan


 
9 Operating Plan for Current Environment: ENHANCE FINANCIAL PROFILE  2016 CAPEX projected to be within cash flow  Stable production - limit “growth” capital expenditures  5,227 net acre Ward/Reeves County, Texas sale  12,178 net acres surface in Pecos County, Texas sale LOWER OPERATING EXPENSES  Shut in marginal production and optimize portfolio  Allocate budget to investments that lower production costs  Curtail and optimize G&A where necessary ECONOMICIALLY GROW AND PRESERVE INVENTORY  Preserve future growth outlook by running Bakken drilling rig when economics dictate  Continue to allocate capital to projects that generate strong risk adjusted returns WAIT FOR THE RIGHT DEAL  Lots of distress on the market – wait for the right deal in the right area  Any deal must 1. Not stress the balance sheet and 2. Be accretive Operating Plan for Current Environment


 
10 III. Financial Overview

16 Austin Chalk Jourdanton Jourdanton  7,352 net acre lease block, 100% WI  90+ well Austin Chalk potential  North Fault Block ▫ Held by production ▫ 44+ potential well locations  South Fault Block ▫ One unit held by production ▫ 42+ potential well locations  Austin Chalk ▫ Oil generated in Eagle Ford may have migrated up to Austin Chalk in graben settings, like Jourdanton ▫ Erratic production from vertical wells in grabens ▫ Good log and mud log shows in Abraxas wells ▫ Recent completions by third parties in Karnes Trough (Graben) very promising


 
17 Abraxas Reeves/Ward County Assets Potential Wolfcamp & Bone Spring Divestiture  5,227 net HBP acres located on eastern edge of Delaware basin and western edge of central basin platform (CBP)  Bone Spring through Wolfcamp interval contains best potential for exploitation using horizontal wells and multi-stage frac treatments ▫ Bone Spring through Wolfcamp interval is thinner than in basin, but it has a similar sequence of shale, limestone and sandstone ▫ Interval is also overpressured in the area; vertical wells require a drilling liner and 12-15#/gal mud to get through the 3rd Bone Spring, Wolfcamp and Penn interval ▫ Several vertical wells, including ones in the offering, have production or excellent oil shows from the interval  Structural complexity is great in the deeper gas zones with numerous faults, steep dip, and gas accumulation controlled by structural closure. However, virtually all the faults lose throw upward in the Pennsylvanian and Wolfcamp interval. Top Wolfcamp structure is much simpler than deeper zones


 
18 Concept  Residual oil resides as strands or stringers  Indigenous microbes activated by nutrients  Surface tension between oil and water is altered  Oil “freed” in injection area adds to stringer, which pushes oil into producer Vendor: Glori Energy  Total residual oil in 3 main reservoirs: 50 MMBO (approx.), 42% of OOIP  Potential recovery: 5-10% of OOIP = 6-12 MMBO  CAPEX for 8 month pilot: ~$670 K Postponed until market conditions improve Injection Well Production Well Portilla Field Potential MEOR

35 Standardized Measure Reconciliation PV-10 is the estimated present value of the future net revenues from our proved oil and gas reserves before income taxes discounted using a 10% discount rate. PV-10 is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations because it does not include the effects of future income taxes, as is required in computing the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. We believe that PV-10 is an important measure that can be used to evaluate the relative significance of our oil and gas properties and that PV-10 is widely used by securities analysts and investors when evaluating oil and gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes to be paid, the use of a pre-tax measure provides greater comparability of assets when evaluating companies. We believe that most other companies in the oil and gas industry calculate PV-10 on the same basis. PV-10 is computed on the same basis as the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows but without deducting income taxes. The following table provides a reconciliation of PV-10 to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at December 31, 2014: Total Proved 31-Dec-14 Future Gross Revenue $2,946,483 Production and Ad Valorem Taxes (278,791) Operating Expenses (613,162) Capital Costs (551,591) Abandonment Costs (5,654) Future Net Revenue 1,497,285 Present Worth at 10 Percent 637,443 Present value of future income taxes discounted at 10% (147,907) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $489,536
