Wet Gas and Volatile Oil Windows

▶ Wet Gas Window ♦ Majority of drilling has

helped to de-risk play

♦ Play expanding northeasterly into Pennsylvania and southerly into Washington County

▶ Volatile Oil Window ♦ Significant oil in place

EVEP estimates 20-30 million barrels of oil per section

♦ Limited drilling activity 6 wells drilled

▶ EVEP and EnerVest began Utica acreage marketing process in 2012 with focus on sale of operated acreage ♦ Over 330,000 total EnerVest net working interest acres (~100,000 net

EVEP Acres)

▶ In second quarter of 2013, revised marketing strategy into smaller packages to better align sales process with potential purchaser focus areas

▶ Wet Gas Window ♦ Repackaged with current technical data

♦ Data room open with significant interest

▶ Volatile Oil Window ♦ De-risk through continued technical work and capital risk sharing

♦ Pursue Joint Venture(s) for a portion of the acreage

♦ In parallel, will continue to evaluate cash offers for acreage
