Yorktown VIII Associates LLC, Yorktown Energy Partners IX, L.P., Yorktown IX Associates LLC, Yorktown Energy Partners X, L.P., and Yorktown X Associates LLC (the &quot;Other Filers&quot;) are also reporting persons.

Thus, in total, there are 15 joint filers: the Other Filers and each person that is a signatory to this Form 4.</remarks>
