Delhi Production Update

Estimated gross oil production from the Delhi field was slightly below 7,000 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") in the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2017, or approximately 1,812 BOPD net to the Company, which was 8.3% below the prior quarter. The primary cause of this decline has been reduced spending in the field and higher decline rates from certain recent projects. Over the past three years, we have participated in a series of highly successful and strategic conformance projects that have increased production from under 6,000 BOPD to rates over 7,700 BOPD in early 2017. Some of the projects completed in 2016 added higher than expected flush production and have stabilized during 2017 to what we believe are more sustainable levels going forward. During the most recent quarter, we also experienced some field and facility downtime, mostly from modifications to get the NGL plant running at full capacity and lower product n during the hotter summer months. Without an increase in spending and new development within the field, we expect gross oil production to stabilize around 7,200 BOPD over the next two quarters, before adding new volumes from the expected infill drilling program, which is currently scheduled for early calendar 2018. Our opportunities for further development of the eastern part of the field remain strong and we expect this project to start in 2019.

Estimated gross production of natural gas liquids ("NGL's") was approximately 1,050 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOEPD"), or approximately 274 BOEPD net to the Company, which was up slightly from the prior quarter. As previously disclosed, we completed a capital upgrade to the inlet of the recycle plant in August. Results from the NGL plant subsequent to completion of this project have been positive, with the plant operating at or near maximum capacity and efficiency. We expect gross NGL production to average 1,200 BOEPD or higher during the next two quarters.
