Maximizing Recovery Efficiency in Unconventional Oil ReservoirsApril 10, 2014
NYSE: W

This presentation includes statements that the Company believes to be forward‐looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward‐looking statements. These forward‐looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward‐looking statements include the Company’s business strategy, financial strategy, oil and natural gas prices, production, reserves and resources, the impacts of state and federal laws, the impacts of hedging on our results of operations, level of success in exploration, development, acquisition and production activities, uncertainty regarding the Company’s future operating results and plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors described in the Company’s 10‐K dated December 31, 2013. Whiting’s production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases.
In this presentation, we refer to Adjusted Net Income, Discretionary Cash Flow, Cash Flow per Share, EBITDAX and Net Debt, which are non‐GAAP measures that the Company believes are helpful in evaluating the performance of its business. A reconciliation of such non‐GAAP measures to the relevant GAAP measures can be found at the end of the presentation.
Whiting uses in this presentation the terms proved, probable and possible reserves. Proved reserves are reserves which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods
and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Probable reserves are reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves, but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. Possible reserves are reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. Estimates of probable and possible reserves which may potentially be recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques are by nature more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized by the Company.
Whiting uses in this presentation the term “total resources,” which consists of contingent and prospective resources, which SEC rules prohibit in filings of U.S. registrants. Contingent resources are resources that are potentially recoverable but not yet considered mature enough for commercial development due to technological or business hurdles. For contingent resources to move into the reserves category, the key conditions, or contingencies, that prevented commercial development must be clarified and removed. Prospective resources are estimated volumes associated with undiscovered accumulations. These represent quantities of petroleum which are estimated to be potentially recoverable from oil and gas deposits identified on the basis of indirect evidence but which have not yet been drilled. This class represents a higher risk than contingent resources since the risk of discovery is also added. For prospective resources to become classified as contingent resources, hydrocarbons must be discovered, the accumulations must be further evaluated and an estimate of quantities that would be recoverable under appropriate development projects prepared. Estimates of resources are by nature more uncertain than reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized by the Company.

ACREAGEWhiting has assembled 169,677 gross (122,278 net) acres in our Redtail prospect in the northeastern portion of the Weld County, CO in the Denver Basin. • Average WI of 72%• Average NRI of 59%
COMPLETED WELL COSTHorizontal: $5.5 MM
DRILLING HIGHLIGHTSOur 27L pad is targeting the Niobrara “B” zone while our 27K pad is testing both the Niobrara “B” and “A” zones. Both pads are located in our Razor area and are testing a 16‐well per 960‐acre drilling spacing unit pattern. Initial results from both pads are encouraging with early results from both “B” and “A” zone wells tracking our typical 400 MBOE type curve.
