18 Well-positioned to Benefit from Supply / Demand Fundamentals The Wattenberg Field currently produces an estimated 100,000 barrels per day, with Anadarko and Noble together accounting for approximately 65% to 70% of total production Condensate, a high gravity crude oil, is a byproduct of Wattenberg gas extraction that must be moved from the lease site to ensure continued gas production White Cliffs Pipeline provides flow assurance for Wattenberg gas production and access to alternative crude oil markets Existing outlets for Wattenberg oil production are limited to local refiner, trucking or railing to alternative markets Other Wattenberg producers include Petro-Canada, EnCana and Petroleum Development Corporation (PDC) With this field and the development, where many shale plays have struggled with infrastructure and have struggled with accessing competitive markets for the products, we re very well positioned to increase this production. - Robert Lawler, Anadarko Wattenberg continues to grow and produces strong returns due to low operating costs and strong liquid volumes. - Noble Energy website Just a few years into an oil rush precipitated by advanced horizontal drilling techniques in the Niobrara shale formation, companies with strong national and global footprints are naming northern Colorado's oil play as key in their 2012 production plans. - By Sharon Dunn, The Greeley Tribune 08/13/
