• NOG CONFERENCE NOTES, 2012:

As a non-operator NOG takes advantage of the discount in prices for small parcels of non-op acreage compared to operated acreage.  Moreover, without the drilling infrastructure NOG maintains more flexibility should oil prices fall out of bed.

Acreage is acquired in the path of development, giving great time value metrics.

NOG will issue an updated reserve report with Q2 results.  With 40% of net wells having come online in 2012, expect NPV-10 to balloon.

NOG participates in ~25% of North Dakota Bakken wells, with average interests of almost 10%.

Hedged:  75% for balance of 2012 with a floors near $91;  hedged 50% for 2013 with floors near $90.

Drilled more net wells in Q1 2012 than OAS or KOG.

When the oil price is down, acreage acquisition dynamics moves into their favor.
