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

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
