February 26, 2018
Oil ended last week up as OPEC leaders highlighted a quicker than expected draw down of supply.
Additionally, there was a bit of a jolt in oil prices following the EIA release reporting yet another inventory
draw of 2.66 mmbo on Cushing inventories, along with 867 mbo lower imports, and 722 mbo higher
exports. The near term contract closed up $1.87, or 3.0%, at $63.55
Natural gas ended last week up. There was a slightly bullish EIA report showing an inventory draw of 124
bcf as compared to the estimated draw of 122 bcf. The near-term contract closed up $0.06, or 2.5%,
at $2.63
Debt
Markets
S&P E&P(2) underperformed last week (0.5%) vs. SPX(2) 0.6%
The major US equity indexes finished higher last week (with help from a Friday rally). Tech was a
standout while consumer staples came under pressure. Treasuries were mixed in choppy trading with
some curve steepening. The 10-year yield ended below 2.90% after hitting a four-year high of 2.95%
earlier in the week. The dollar index gained 0.9%. Gold lost 1.7%. The S&P 500 consensus 2018 EPS
estimate is $157.0 for an implied P/E multiple of 17.5x (the 5-year historical average is 16.1x)
Eight issuers priced 11 issues to raise $7.2 billion last week
Year-to-date volume stands at $56.3 billion, compared to $57.9 billion in year-to-date 2017
Retail cash outflows from US high yield mutual funds totaled $335 million last week, compared to the prior
week’s outflows of $6.3 billion. This brings year-to-date outflows for 2018 to $12.5 billion, compared to
$1.6 billion of inflows in year-to-date 2017
No E&P HY issuances priced last week
Three Rivers Operating Company III, backed by Riverstone
Holdings, announced that it entered into an agreement to be
sold to Admiral Permian Resources
Concho Resources announced that it completed the sale of
~20,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin to Luxe Energy II
and Colgate for $280 million
Concho concurrently announced that it completed an
acreage swap (traded its Culberson County position for
Midland Basin assets) with Chevron
WPX Energy announced that in January it signed an
agreement to divest non-op mineral interests in the Williston
Basin for $20 million
EQT Corporation announced that its Board of Directors
approved a plan to separate its upstream and midstream

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 5,100 boe/d (83% oil) from 22 operated wells; rapid growth from January 2017 production of <300
boe/d
High degree of control as asset is 100% operated with easily managed continuous development obligations
NTM cash flow projected to be approximately $87 million at strip pricing(1)
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 a highly economic part of the Eagle Ford Play
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
171 gross operated Lower Eagle Ford drilling locations at 500’ lateral spacing providing ample running room for years of
development
Assuming tighter well spacing, an optimized plan at 400’ supports 214 gross Lower Eagle Ford locations
Entire position de-risked by existing wells and extensive data gathering and seismic surveys
100% of locations have IRRs over 30% at strip pricing(1)
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
Subsurface
Attributes
Compact and well-contained 100’ to 80’ 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 ~85 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
