Evaluation of Various Atlas Partnerships To the Interests of the Partnerships Pursuant to the Requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Effective December 31, 2010 Job 11.1247-A |
Wright & Company, Inc. (Wright) has performed an evaluation to estimate proved reserves and
cash flow from certain oil and gas properties that are a part of various Atlas Partnerships
(Partnerships). This evaluation was authorized by Mr. Jeffrey C. Simmons of Atlas Energy
Resources, LLC (Atlas) the Managing General Partner. Projections of the reserves and cash flow to
the evaluated interests were based on economic parameters and operating conditions considered to
be applicable at the effective date. This reserves evaluation is pursuant to the financial
reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as specified in Regulation
S-X, Rule 4-10(a) and Regulation S-K, Rule 1202(a)(8). It is the understanding of Wright that the
purpose of this evaluation is for inclusion in relevant registration statements or other filings
to the SEC. The effective date of this report is December 31, 2010. The report was completed
February 18, 2011.
The attached Exhibit A contains a list of the various Partnerships in the Appalachia
Business Unit of Atlas which includes properties located in Colorado, Kentucky, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The attached Exhibit B contains a list of the
various Partnerships in the Michigan Business Unit of Atlas which includes properties located in
Michigan and Indiana.
The bases of this evaluation are the projected volumes evaluated by Wright in its report
titled Evaluation of Oil and Gas Reserves, To the Interests of Atlas Energy Resources, LLC, In
Certain Properties Located in Various States, Pursuant to the Requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Effective December 31, 2010, Job 10.1210, dated February 2, 2011.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which can be estimated with
reasonable certainty to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, operating
methods, and government regulations. As specified by the SEC regulations, when calculating
economic producibility, the base product price must be the 12-month average price, calculated
as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the
prior 12-month period. The benchmark base prices used for this evaluation were $4.376 per Million
British thermal units (MMBtu) for natural gas at Henry Hub, LA and $79.43 per barrel for West
Texas Intermediate oil at Cushing, OK. These benchmark base prices were adjusted for energy
content, quality, and basis differential, as appropriate. The average adjusted product prices used
to estimate proved reserves can be found in Exhibit A or B, as appropriate. Prices for oil and gas
were held constant for the life of the properties. The Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) product price was
estimated to be approximately 63 percent of the base oil price.
Oil and other liquid hydrocarbons are expressed in thousands of United States (U.S.) barrels
(Mbbl), one barrel equaling 42 U.S. gallons. Gas volumes are expressed in millions of standard
cubic feet (MMcf) at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at the legal pressure base that prevails in the
state in which the reserves are located. No adjustment of the individual gas volumes to a common
pressure base has been made.
Net income to the evaluated interests is the cash flow after consideration of royalty revenue
payable to others, standard state and county taxes, operating expenses, and investments, as
applicable. The cash flow is before federal income tax (BTAX) and excludes consideration of any
encumbrances against the properties if such exist. The cash flow (BTAX) was discounted at an
annual rate of 10.00 percent (PCT) in accordance with the reporting requirements of the SEC.
The estimates of reserves contained in this report were determined by accepted industry
methods, and the procedures used in this evaluation are appropriate for the purpose served by the
report. Where sufficient production history and other data were available, reserves for producing
properties were determined by extrapolation of historical production or sales trends. Analogy to
similar producing properties was used for development projects and for those properties that
lacked sufficient production history to yield a definitive estimate of reserves. When appropriate,
Wright may have also utilized volumetric calculations and log correlations in the determination of
estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). These calculations are often based upon limited log and/or core
analysis data and incomplete formation fluid and rock data. Since these limited data must
frequently be extrapolated over an assumed drainage area, subsequent production performance trends
or material balance calculations may cause the need for significant revisions to the estimates of
reserves. Wright has used all methods and procedures as it considered necessary under the
circumstances to prepare this report.
Oil and gas reserves were evaluated for the proved developed producing (PDP), proved developed
nonproducing (PDNP), proved developed nonproducing shut-in (PDNP-SI), proved developed nonproducing
temporarily abandoned (PDNP-TA) and proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves categories. Please note that
reserves categorized as PUD in this evaluation are wells that were drilled in 2010, but were not
yet fractured and completed by the effective date of this report. Wright did not include any
undrilled PUD locations in this report in accordance with the instructions of Atlas. The summary
classification of total proved reserves combines all of the above categories. In preparing this
evaluation, no attempt has been made to quantify the element of uncertainty associated with any
category. Reserves were assigned to each category as warranted. Wright is not aware of any local,
state, or federal regulations that would preclude Atlas from continuing to produce from currently
active wells or to fully develop those
properties included in this report.

There are significant uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves, future rates of
production, and the timing and amount of future costs. The estimation of oil and gas reserves must
be recognized as a subjective process that cannot be measured in an exact way, and estimates of
others might differ materially from those of Wright. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a
function of the quantity and quality of available data and of subjective interpretations and
judgments. It should be emphasized that production data subsequent to the date of these estimates
or changes in the analogous properties may warrant revisions of such estimates. Accordingly,
reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately
recovered.
All data utilized in the preparation of this report were provided by Atlas. No inspection of
the properties was made as this was not considered to be within the scope of this evaluation.
Wright has not independently verified the accuracy and completeness of information and data
furnished by Atlas with respect to ownership interests, oil and gas production or sales,
historical costs of operation and development, tax preparation and other fees for outside services
for each Partnership, product prices, or agreements relating to current and future operations and
sales of production. Wright requested and received detailed information allowing Wright to check
and confirm any calculations provided by Atlas with regard to product pricing, appropriate
adjustments, lease operating expenses, and capital investments for completing the undeveloped
locations. Furthermore, if in the course of Wrights examination something came to our attention
that brought into question the validity or sufficiency of any information or data, Wright did not
rely on such information or data until we had satisfactorily resolved our questions relating
thereto or independently verified such information or data. In accordance with the requirements of
the SEC, all operating costs were held constant for the life of the properties.
It should be noted that neither salvage values nor abandonment costs were included in the
economic parameters in accordance with the instructions of Atlas. It was assumed that any salvage
value would be directly offset by the cost to abandon the property. Wright has not performed a
detailed study of the abandonment costs or the salvage values and offers no opinion as to Atlass
assumptions.
Wright is not aware of any potential environmental liabilities that may exist concerning the
properties evaluated. There are no costs included in this evaluation for potential property
restoration, liability, or clean up of damages, if any, that may be necessary due to past or
future operating practices.
Wright is an independent petroleum consulting firm founded in 1988 and owns no interests in
the oil and gas properties covered by this report. No employee, officer, or director of Wright is
an employee, officer, or director of Atlas or the Partnerships, nor does Wright or any of its
employees have direct financial interest in Atlas or the Partnerships. Neither the employment of
nor the compensation received by Wright is contingent upon the values assigned or the opinions
rendered regarding the properties covered by this report.
