Field and Development Overview

Summary Statistics Key Takeaways

Gulf Coast Region – Texas and Louisiana

• Primary Gulf Coast oil fields are associated with salt domes or salt related structures – Multiple pay zones per well – Assets produce from multiple stacked reservoirs

primarily in the Miocene and Frio sands at depths of 900 to 7,500 feet

• On 7 of 8 domes, there has never been wells drilled into geopressure (below ~7,500 feet) – Attractive prospects for deeper drilling potential at

Yegua, Wilcox, and Hackberry – 3-D seismic coverage on 75% of primary fields

• Initiate recompletion of behind pipe pay and drilling new wells into previously un-drained, or up-dip reservoir compartments as well as deeper opportunities identified by Linc’s technical experts

• Drill through the remainder of 2012 – Two rigs in operation – Three truck-mounted workover rigs currently performing recompletions, workovers, and new completions

• Leverage team of highly skilled geoscientists to develop or acquire low-risk opportunities in adjacent fields or other similar subsurface salt structures

Linc Internal Reserve Report Summary

Assumptions • Effective date of 1/1/2012 • Includes Wyoming Powder River Basin reserves only • 7/1/2011 Ryder Scott report was used as a starting point. Database was quality-checked, production volumes were rolled

forward, and curves were refit, if necessary • Pricing

– Base price deck of $96.19/bbl and $4.12/mcf held flat for the life of the properties – Price deck determined using SEC methodology of averaging prices on the first day of each month for the previous 12

months – A negative differential of $0.06/bbl was applied to the base price deck

• Lease Operating Expense – LOE was increased from the Ryder Scott report to reflect actual operating costs based on trailing 9 month data – The higher LOE is a result of the previous operator not adequately maintaining the properties during the last months of its

ownership, thus requiring Linc to perform additional work in order to get the property back in order. This level of rehabilitation work is not expected continue in 2012

– Average LOE is ~$215,000/month
