COMMENTARY

The sale of the two Rennerfeldt wells has been completed netting Samson a total of $200,000 which will be used to help fund the remaining wells in the North Stockyard project.

Frontier rig 24 has completed drilling the Matilda Bay #1 and #2 wells. The production liner has been run in the Matilda Bay #2 well and the production liner is presently being run in the Matilda Bay #1 well. It is anticipated that these two wells will be fracture stimulated in May or June depending on equipment availability.

After drilling the Matilda Bay #1 well, Frontier rig 24 will move to the Three Forks North Pad to begin batch drilling the first of four Three Forks wells. The four Three Forks wells are the Ironbank 4-14 and 5-14 wells and the Bootleg 4-14 and 5-14 wells. These wells are all similar in design and will have lateral lengths between 7,211 and 7,405 feet long as shown in the table above. The current plan is to then move to the Three Forks South Pad to begin drilling the final four Three Forks wells.

Samson’s working interest and its net revenue interest is set out in the following table:
