3 Key Growth Points Exploration & Production 212% average production replacement since % increase in liquids production since Q1 2009, when Unit began focusing almost entirely on increasing liquids production Proved reserves: 150 MMBoe (1) Drilling Grown rig count 39% since 2003 Sold 20 rigs since drilling rig fleet Mid-Stream 144% increase in natural gas processing volumes since % increase in daily liquids sold volumes since ,435 miles of pipeline Strong Balance Sheet Remains conservatively financed as the company has grown 3 (1) As of 12/31/2012.

4 Capital Allocation Criteria Oil and Natural Gas Segment Minimum 15% risk-adjusted ROR for new well proposals Contract Drilling Segment New build rigs minimum contract term of 2 to 3 years at a day rate sufficient to provide a 100% cash on cash payout during a 3 year term Rig Refurbishments minimum contract term sufficient to provide a 100% cash on cash payout during the initial term Midstream Segment Minimum 25% risk-adjusted ROR for POP/POI projects Minimum 15% risk-adjusted ROR for Fee Based projects 4

5 Core Upstream Producing Areas Marmaton Marmaton Mississippian Granite Wash Wilcox ü Beginning in late 2008, implemented strategy of increasing focus on liquids-rich and oil prospects Forecast 43% liquids production for 2013 ü Key focus areas include: Granite Wash (Texas Panhandle) Marmaton (Oklahoma Panhandle oil play) Wilcox (Gulf Coast) Mississippian (Kansas) ü 2012 reserves of 150 MMBoe were 62% natural gas and 79% proved developed Reserve life of approximately 10 years 2012 Proved Reserves Q Daily Production NGL 23% NGL 24% Oil 15% Gas 62% Oil 19% Gas 57% 5 Proved Reserves: 150 MMBoe Daily Production: 45.8 MBoe/d

6 Track Record of Reserve Growth Proved Reserves (MMBoe) CAGR: 15% Oil / NGLs Natural Gas 150 ü Stable and consistent economic growth of oil and natural gas reserves of at least 150% of each year s production ü 222% average annual reserve replacement over last 29 years ü Reserve growth driven by Oklahoma and Texas activity and a shift from vertical to horizontal / liquids-rich drilling Annual Reserve Replacement (1) 400% Minimum Target: 150% 337% 300% 285% 261% 200% 100% 0% 166% 221% 186% 202% 171% (2) 176% 164% 113% (1) The Company uses the reserve replacement ratio as an indicator of the Company's ability to replenish annual production volumes and grow its proved reserves, including by acquisition, thereby providing some information on the sources of future production. It should be noted that the reserve replacement ratio is a statistical indicator that has limitations. The ratio is limited because it typically varies widely based on the extent and timing of discoveries and property acquisitions. Its predictive and comparative value is also limited for the same reasons. In addition, since the ratio does not imbed the cost or timing of future production of new reserves, it cannot be used as a measure of value creation. (2) 164% based on previous SEC reporting standards. 6

24 Forward-Looking Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words believe, expect, anticipate, plan, intend, foresee, should, would, could, or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company s drilling program, production, hedging activities, capital expenditure levels and other guidance included in this presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management s expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include the factors discussed or referenced in the Risk Factors section of the Company s Offering Memorandum provided in connection with this offering, risks relating to financial performance and results, current economic conditions and resulting capital restraints, prices and demand for oil and natural gas, availability of drilling equipment and personnel, availability of sufficient capital to execute the Company s business plan, the Company s ability to replace reserves and efficiently develop and exploit its current reserves and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The SEC generally permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. In this communication, the Company uses the term unproved reserves which the SEC guidelines prohibit from being included in filings with the SEC. Unproved reserves refers to the Company s internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. Unproved reserves may not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer s Petroleum Resource Management System or proposed SEC rules and does not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company s interests will differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of unproved reserves may change significantly as development of the Company s core assets provide additional data. In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. This presentation contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( non-gaap financial measures ) including LTM EBITDA and certain debt ratios. The non-gaap financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ). We urge you to review the reconciliations of the non-gaap financial measures to GAAP financial measures in the appendix. 24
