Yearly Oil Production in the Illinois Basin and Midwest

• Midwest was incorporated in 2009, but the first wells didn’t go online until 2010
• Midwest will continue to add production on an annual basis
  • By acquiring new mineral leases with production that will give us access to deeper horizons that have not been drilled previously
  • By drilling new wells in anticline areas
• With new drilling and technology techniques, along with stable drilling costs, Midwest is confident of its investment objectives
