Jonah field is the foundational asset for Jonah Energy LLC
Jonah field is located in the northwestern portion of the Green River Basin
Upper Cretaceous Lance formation produces from fluvial channel sandstone deposits
The “Lance Pool” is the geologic section that produces at Jonah field
Depth to base of Lance Pool varies from 11,000’ to 14,000’ TVD
Jonah Field Overview

Lance Pool consists of multiple formation with typical gross thickness of 3,200’ to 5,500’
• Unnamed tertiary
• Lance
• Upper Mesaverde
Sand body dimensions typically 5 to 40 acres in size
Discontinuous lenticular sand bodies are over-pressured and distributed vertically; productive interval covers
a significant portion of the vertical section
Due to reservoir characteristics and presence of multiple, stacked sands – vertical wells have been the
primary method for development of the field
