  4. Summary This presentation outlines an original concept initiated by Everett Toombs and Gary Van Cleave and previously used by Peak Energy. Pyramid focuses on the Bakken, one of the largest (possibly the largest) continuous oil accumulations in the world. Advances in horizontal drilling has made the Bakken oil shale possible Mr. Toombs Everett is known as one of the preeminent horizontal drilling experts having drilled 20K ft. wells with 10K ft. laterals and very knowledgeable of the Bakken shale play. Pyramid is seeking $60m to purchase rigs, upgrade for cold weather use, purchase tubulars, establish a man camp, and working capital.

  6. Oil Shale Overview America is unable to provide supply it’s own energy US Petroleum Consumption vs. Domestic Supply 1950 to 2020F • US has imported over 50% of it’s petroleum fuel requirements since 1993 • By 2020 imports are forecast to grow to 58% • Traditional domestic energy production has failed to meet the growing US demand for energy • New sources, wells and rig are needed if the US wishes to maintain energy security Million barrels / day 1993 50% imports 2020 shortfall 8.5 mbbl/day Source: EIA Estimated 10 year demand for development investment $__ to $__ billion dollars

  7. Oil Shale Overview Drilling in the Williston/ Bakken is key to closing the production gap Growth in Bakken Production by State Barrels/Day 2011 to 2010F • Wells are 9-10,000 ft in depth in a basin of 25,000 sq mi. with 40 API oil. • The transferring of long horizontal wells with multi-staged fracture technologies from the Barnett shale in Texas, • Typical wells now produce initial rates in excess of 1000 bopd and up to 500,000 recoverable barrels of oil. Source: EIA and Sigma Capital Analysis Estimated 10 year demand for E & P investment $18 to 45 billion dollars

  8. Oil Shale Overview Bakken Formation The Bakken Formation was initially produced in the 1950's on the western edge of the basin. In April 2008, the U.S. Geologic Survey raised its estimates of recoverable oil reserves in the Bakken Formation of North Dakota and Montana as high as 4.3 billion barrels of oil, represented about a 2,400% increase over earlier estimates Technical studies in the overlying Three Forks formation identified a clastic-silt, low porosity/ low permeabiltiy zone nearly doubling reserves per well. Pyramid focuses on the Bakken, one of the largest (possibly the largest) continuous oil accumulations in the world.
