February 19, 2018

Oil ended last week up. At first glance, the inventory numbers did not seem incredibly bullish however

WTI managed to trade up last week. The decline in Cushing inventories was 1.84 mmbbls. The U.S. oil rig

count increased by seven rigs, even with a four rig decline in the Permian. The near term contract closed

up $2.48, or 4.2%, at $61.68

Natural gas stayed relatively flat last week. The basis markets were the more interesting story. A Permian

to Mid-Con 5-year transport deal was apparently signed causing an aggressive rally in the Perm and

Waha. The near-term contract closed down $0.02, or 0.8%, at $2.56

Debt

Markets

S&P E&P(2) outperformed last week 4.7% vs. SPX(2) 4.3%

US equities were higher this week, with the S&P 500 gaining 4.3% for its best week since January 2013.

While the index remains down for the month, it is once again positive YTD and has gained ~6% since the

February 9th low. Treasuries were mostly weaker with the curve flattening, and much of the yield rise

coming on Wednesday following hotter-than-expected January CPI data. The dollar was down on the

major crosses. Gold finished the week up 3.1%. The S&P 500 consensus 2018 EPS estimate is $156.8

for an implied P/E multiple of 16.8x. The 5-year historical average is 16.1x

One issuer priced one issue to raise $450 million last week

Year-to-date volume stands at $49.2 billion, compared to $51.3 billion in year-to-date 2017

Retail cash outflows from US high yield mutual funds totaled $6.3 billion last week, compared to the prior

week’s outflows of $2.7 billion. This brings year-to-date outflows for 2018 to $12.1 billion, compared to

$900 million of inflows in year-to-date 2017

The sole deal to price in the High Yield market last week was an E&P issuer:

Jones Energy (CFR: Caa2/CCC (Fitch); Issue: B2/B (Fitch)) priced $450 million of 9.25% Senior

Secured 1L Notes at 97.526 to yield 9.875%. The 5NC2 Notes priced in line with talk. Proceeds will

be used to repay borrowings under its revolver and for general corporate purposes

Noble Energy announced that it executed an agreement to

sell its deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets to Fieldwood Energy

LLC for a total value of $710 million plus a contingent

payment of up to $100 million; Fieldwood Energy

concurrently filed a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy

WildHorse Resource Development Corporation announced

that it executed a definitive agreement to divest its North

Louisiana assets to Tanos Exploration II LLC for $217 million

WildHorse concurrently announced the acquisition of 17,453

net acres in Lee County, TX from an undisclosed seller for

$19.3 million

Week in Review

In Commodities, ECM and DCM, let’s go to journalism standards, even

though that’s not how we get the text from those groups. Main change is

that any number below 10 is spelled out (one instead of 1). This does not

apply to statistical analyses, percentages, or money, of course.

Let’s follow these guidelines when sorting articles:

• First priority: Domestic A&D, ranked by size

• Next: Domestic M&A

• Then: US companies doing international deals (like

Noble’s Tamar)

• Then: Others (Cabot’s Lackawanna)

• Then: Prices, rig count, completions, etc.

To paste the arrows with colors,

• FactSet

• Settings

• Presentation Linking and Formatting

• Import

• Colors

• Change Color font…

For the primary Commodities bullet points on oil and gas

prices, please start with “The near-term contract opened the

week at $___” and end that same bullet point with “The

near-term contract closed the week at $____, down(up)

$___, or ___%.” You don’t have to use exactly those words

as long as the opening and closing prices are included . For

example, you could write, “Opening the week at $45.21, the

near-term oil contract declined steadily based on …” – you

know, think like a journalist, be creative.

PROCESS OVERVIEW

Growing

Production and

Cash Flow with

Advantaged

Position for Full

Development

April 2018E net production of ~5,000 boe/d (~86% oil) from 22 operated wells; rapid growth from January 2017 production of

~50 boe/d

High degree of control as asset is 100% operated with easily managed continuous development obligations

NTM cash flow projected to be approximately $90 million at flat $60/bbl WTI oil and $3.00/mcf Henry Hub gas pricing

Very favorable marketing contracts relative to other Eagle Ford operators; no minimum volume commitments

Extensive infrastructure with proximity to Gulf Coast refineries and international export markets

Premium oil price realizations with LLS pricing – positive differentials of ~$3.00 compared to WTI over the last three months

Positioned for full field development with company-owned gathering system and access to electricity and SWD systems

Largely

Undeveloped

Contiguous Eagle

Ford Position

Attractive entry vehicle or bolt-on acquisition with exposure to highly economic parts of the Eagle Ford

Contiguous 23,164 net acre position in the prolific black oil window located in southwest Atascosa and southeast Frio counties,

Texas ideal for future development

100% operational control with average working interest of ~94%

Optimal maturity and shallow depth to Eagle Ford target of 7,800’ to 8,700’ allows for lateral lengths in excess of 10,000’

Extensive and

Highly Economic

Drilling Inventory

through Modern

Completions

~230 gross operated Lower Eagle Ford drilling locations at 400’ lateral spacing providing ample running room for years of

development

Entire position de-risked by existing wells and extensive data gathering and seismic surveys

~100% of locations have IRRs over 20% at flat $55/bbl WTI oil and $3.00/mcf Henry Hub gas pricing

Significant performance uplift over historical results in the area due to modern completions

Lateral targeting, higher proppant/fluid loading, and tighter cluster spacing are resulting in 66% EUR/ft uplift over legacy

wells with continual improvement

High Quality

Sub-Surface

Attributes

Compact and well-contained 80’ to 100’ thick Lower Eagle Ford quality source rock with oil in place sufficient to fully support

significant uplifts in EUR and recovery per foot

Proven development plan supported by 70 square miles of 3-D seismic and 385’ of proprietary whole core through the entire

prospective Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk reservoir intervals

Favorable structural, fracture setting, high matrix porosity, and oil saturation of the Austin Chalk across TAR’s position supports

a viable secondary target with ~115 locations at 800’ spacing

Austin Chalk in Frio County is prolific in numerous offsets

Oil saturated proprietary core in Atascosa County

Austin Chalk well performance in Sugarkane Field a direct analog
