3 The Company Long Consultants, Inc. provides petroleum engineering consulting services for clients in the oil and gas and related industries from offices located in the northwest area of Houston near Cypress Creek Parkway (AKA FM 1960) in the Champions area. Clients include major and independent oil and gas producers, individuals, attorneys, banks and other financial institutions. Services are focused on providing opinions regarding oil and gas reserves and values. Russ Long founded Long Consultants in He is a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines (Petroleum Engineering, 1967). After eight years with Amoco Production Company, he joined the predecessor of Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., becoming Senior Vice President and Manager of the Houston Division in With the founding of Long Consultants, Russ sought to take advantage of his experience and expertise in petroleum engineering and the numerous newly available business and engineering software products available on micro computers. Russ is a registered engineer in the State of Texas. For the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE), he was their 1996 President, is a past chairman of the SPEE Council of Past Presidents, and continues as chairman of the SPEE Fair Market Value Committee. He was editor of SPEE s publication titled Perspectives on The Fair Market Value of Oil and Gas Interests. Russ was awarded an "Honorary Life Membership" by SPEE in The criteria for this award, which had only been presented eleven times previously is outstanding achievement in the profession of petroleum property evaluation and/or significant and exceptional service to the Society. For the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Russ was chairman of the Economics and Evaluation Committee and served on the Awards Committee.

4 Estimating Reserves Performance techniques widely used Long Consultants has the in the industry for estimating oil and knowledge to select and apply the gas reserves include decline curve appropriate tools. analysis, P/Z curves and ratio plots. These graphic methods of reserve Sound application of reserve estimating and production forecasting estimating techniques and methods are technically sound when applied require the use of supplemental tools under the correct circumstances. for determination of the values of reservoir parameters. Well test When performance methods are not analysis is one of the tools used to adequate as a tool, well logs, obtain specific information about geological study, and other means of reservoir rock properties. Pressure characterizing reservoirs are used in buildup test, as an example, are the application of volumetric estimation often used to estimate formation techniques. Numerical reservoir permeability and the stimulated simulation models using computer condition of a well. Well log analysis software are at the high end of the and other petrophysical and scale of sophisticated methods, but geological studies are necessary they are not a substitute for expertise, supplements to the reserve experience and judgment. estimating process whenever volumetric analysis is required. -4-

5 Cash Flow Analysis The projection of future cash flow is the most frequent basis for the monetary valuation of oil and gas properties. The need to determine or estimate value is the most frequent reason behind the need for reserve estimates. Long Consultants makes use of commercial petroleum economics software to schedule cash flow and calculate present values of future revenue from oil and gas production. Net cash flow is estimated by calculating revenue from the sale of projected production and by the deduction of projected operating expenses, capital costs, and state and local taxes. Present worth calculations support the value of the projected cash flow. Risk factors inherent in oil and gas projects, federal tax consequences, and market conditions are among other factors that must be taken into account in the valuation process. Reserve Reports Reports prepared by Long Consultants document results. Our clients commonly present these report to financial institutions as a foundation for project financing. Reports contain professionally presented data, analysis, conclusions, and opinions regarding the properties -5-
