DENVER & PERTH, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Samson Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: SSN; NYSE MKT: SSN):

TOTAL COMPANY PRODUCTION

Samson’s net monthly production, for the last six months, is as follows:

BO: Barrels of oil
BOE: Barrels of oil equivalent (gas converted at its heating value)
BOPD: Barrels of oil per day
MCF: Thousand cubic feet
BOEPD: Barrels of oil equivalent per day

Samson’s net production for March continued to grow as the results of the 2014 infill drilling in North Stockyard are incorporated. Seven wells remain shut in as the Operator manages the field with minimal operating cost in response to the current oil price. Given that all of the wells have been drilled and fracked, the individual well reports will be discontinued, however we will provide mid-monthly production reports with commentary.

COMMENTARY

North Stockyard has a total well count of 23 wells made up of 14 middle Bakken, 8 Three Forks bench 1 (TF1), and 1 Three Forks bench 2 (TF2) wells. Rainbow has a single middle Bakken well. The status of these wells at the end of April was as follows:

HEDGE BOOK

As at April 10^th, 2015 the book value of the hedge was approximately $480,000, valued by Samson’s counterparty.

RESERVES

Samson commissioned Ryder Scott Company to determine its reserve as at March 1^st. This was done to capture the Proved Developed Producing reserves value from several additional wells bought on line in North Stockyard after January 1^st, the date of our last report. The net present value (NPV₁₀) was calculated at a 10% discount rate using the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) strip price adjusted for regional differences. As of March 1^st, 2015 our reserves and NPV₁₀ are:

NYMEX strip price and gas price assumptions:
