5 Sligo Field Overview  The Sligo field represented 98% of proved reserves. Greystone had a large, contiguous acreage position over the crest of Sligo field. Operated acreage was predominately 100% working interest with 85% net revenue interest, all held by production. Greystone also had working interests ranging from 10% to 50%, averaging 41%, in acreage operated by EOG Resources.

9 Sligo Field Gas Marketing  Greystone owned the gathering infrastructure on operated acreage. Facilities improvements included a pipeline purchased to connect both ends of the field, a pipeline purchased to improve sales delivery points, numerous pipeline and compressor horsepower additions and a 40 MMcfd refrigeration unit that enabled Greystone to meet even the most stringent pipeline specifications without third party processing. Greystone had contracted 89 MMcfd of delivery capacity, 44 MMcfd firm and 45 MMcfd interruptible. Greystone’s system improvements and improved flexibility substantially enhanced realized pricing and therefore acquisition economics.

10 Sligo Field Divestiture  Chesapeake Energy (ticker: CHK, exchange: New York Stock Exchange) News Release - 11-May-2004   Chesapeake Energy Corporation Announces Agreement to Acquire $425 Million of Natural Gas Properties   OKLAHOMA CITY, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire natural gas assets in the Ark-La-Tex region of northern Louisiana through the $425 million acquisition of the equity interests of Houston-based, privately-held Greystone Petroleum LLC. Greystone's major asset is its 16,100 gross acre contiguous leasehold position over the crest of the giant Sligo Field located in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. Discovered in 1938, Sligo has produced 1.6 tcfe of natural gas from the Rodessa, Pettit, Hosston and Cotton Valley formations at depths of 4,100 feet to 9,600 feet.  Chesapeake has identified approximately 70 proved undeveloped and 75 probable and possible locations on the acreage. After allocating approximately $65 million of the purchase price to unevaluated leasehold and mid-stream gas assets, Chesapeake's acquisition cost per thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent (mcfe) of proved reserves will be $1.68. Including anticipated future drilling costs for fully developing the proved, probable and possible reserves, the company estimates that its all-in acquisition cost will be $1.94 per mcfe. The proved reserves have a reserves-to-production index of 13.0 years, are 98% gas, are 93% operated, and have current lease operating expenses of $0.39 per mcfe. Greystone's very low lease operating expenses (approximately $0.35 per mcfe below the industry average) create unusually high economic value per mcfe of proved reserves.  Greystone was formed in 1995 by Joe M. Bridges and Michael A. Geffert who later were joined as equity holders by the private equity firm First Reserve Corporation to help fund Greystone's acquisition of interests in the Sligo Field in 2002. Greystone was advised in the sale to Chesapeake by Simmons & Company International and Griffis & Associates.
