development activities.
April 2007: Reverse merger and Chandler
acquisition.
Transforms a regional entity into a
multi-basin entity.
October 2007: $100 million acquisition.
Effectively doubled reserves and
production.
2008: Acquisitions and divestitures, high-
graded portfolio and expanded drilling
inventory.

Note:
The
SEC
permits
oil

companies
to
disclose
only
proved

GeoResources
uses
the
term
"non-

which
SEC

strictly
prohibit
the
Company
from
including
in

These
non-proved
potential
reserve
estimates
were
prepared
by
management
and
the
Company's
technical
staff
in
accordance
with
industry
practices.
Non-proved
quantities
estimated
herein
are
imprecise
forward-looking
statements
and
substantially
less
certain
than

All
reserve

are
inherently
imprecise
and
are
subject
to
material
revisions
based
on
numerous
factors,
including
drilling

history
and
