COMMENTARY
Frontier Rig 24 is currently drilling the lateral section of the
wellbore at 16,801 feet MD in the Three Forks on the Bootleg 6-14-15TFH.
The rig will then be moved to the north pad and begin drilling the two
Ironbank wells.
Fracture stimulation on the Bootleg 4 and 5 will commence next week.
A rig is on site repairing the liner on the Matilda Bay 1. Following
this work over the fracture stimulation program will begin once the
Bootleg 6-14-15TFH is drilled.
Samson’s working interest and its net revenue interest for the North
Stockyard Project is set out in the following table:

HAWK SPRINGS PROJECT, GOSHEN COUNTY, WYOMING
Bluff 1-11 (SSN 25%)
Samson will be holding a JV partner meeting this week to discuss
Samson’s intent to test the Permian Hartville 9500’ sand target zone
after an additional petrophysical analysis was conducted by an outside
consulting expert. This analysis confirms that the target zone shows
“gas effect” on the logs and tested the gas cap, or the structurally
highest point of the trap, which may contain an oil leg beneath it.
RAINBOW PROJECT, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
Gladys 1-20H (SSN 23%)
The Gladys 1-20 H well has been drilled by Continental Resources to a
total depth of 19,994 feet. The well is a 1,280 acre lateral
(approximately 10,000 feet) in the middle member of the Bakken Formation.
The 4-1/2 inch liner has been run with 39 packers and set at 19,828
feet. The rig was released on July 29th. A frac date is still
awaited.
Samson’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities
Exchange under the symbol "SSN". Samson's American Depository Shares
(ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol
"SSN". Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson.
Samson has a total of 2,837 million ordinary shares issued and
outstanding (including 230 million options exercisable at AUD 3.8
cents), which would be the equivalent of 141.85 million ADSs.
Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.40 per ADS on
Aug 4th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of
approximately US$59.33 million (the options have been valued at an
exchange rate of 0.9294). Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing
price of A$0.021 for ordinary shares and a closing price of A$0.012 for
the 2017 options, on Aug 4th, 2014, the Company has a current market
capitalization of approximately A$62.33 million.
