Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and the United States ("U.S.") Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in and incorporated by reference into this presentations are "forward-looking statements." Words such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, seek, estimate, schedule and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements herein. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future: production, costs and cash flows; drilling locations, zones and growth opportunities; commodity prices and differentials; capital expenditures and projects, including the number of rigs employed; management of lease expiration issues; financial ratios and compliance with covenants in our revolving credit facility; impacts of certain accounting and tax changes; midstream capacity and related curtailments; fractionation capacity; impacts of Colorado political matters; ability to meet our volume commitments to midstream providers; ongoing compliance with our consent decree; reclassification of the Denver Metro/North Front Range NAA ozone classification to serious; and timing and adequacy of infrastructure projects of our midstream providers, including the impact of having a new plant come online during the third quarter of 2018. The above statements are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements herein. Although forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to us. Forward-looking statements are always subject to risks and uncertainties, and become subject to greater levels of risk and uncertainty as they address matters further into the future. Throughout this presentation or accompanying materials, we may use the term projection or similar terms or expressions, or indicate that we have modeled certain future scenarios. We typically use these terms to indicate our current thoughts on possible outcomes relating to our business or our industry in periods beyond the current fiscal year. Because such statements relate to events or conditions further in the future, they are subject to increased levels of uncertainty. Further, we urge you to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and disclosures, specifically those under the heading "Risk Factors," made in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2018 and amended on May 1, 2018, and our other filings with the SEC for further information on risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, which are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance occurring after the date of this presentation or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This presentation contains certain non-gaap financial measures. A reconciliation of each such measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is presented in the Appendix hereto. We use "adjusted cash flows from operations," "adjusted net income (loss)," "adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDAX and "PV-10," non- GAAP financial measures, for internal reporting and providing guidance on future results. These measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We strongly advise investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP. Rate of return estimates do not reflect lease acquisition costs or corporate general and administrative expenses. Non-proved estimates of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons and EURs may not correspond to estimates of reserves as defined under SEC rules. Resource estimates and estimates of non-proved reserves include potentially recoverable quantities that are subject to substantially greater risk than proved reserves.

CORE WATTENBERG Add l Productivity Benefits of Consolidated Acreage Modified completion design enhances ability to access additional resource Completing through the bend and drilling to edge of lease boundary enable additional ~1,000 of completed lateral per well Incremental capital of ~$250k per well ~10% additional stages per well expected to be completed in 2018 Example: Prior design 10 well pad of XRLs = ~500 total stages New design 10 well pad of XRLs = ~550 total stages (one extra well) Through the Bend Increased drilling efficiencies lead to improved spud-to-spud times 5/7/9 days for SRL/MRL/XRLs (down from 6/8/10) Drill to Edge ~650 ~1,000 of additional completed interval (5 extra stages) (Wattenberg D&C well costs modified to ~$3 to $5MM depending on lateral length) ~350 Nov. 2018 26
