<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">We are an independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition and development of unconventional oil and natural gas resources in the North
Dakota and Montana regions of the Williston Basin. As of December 31, 2015, we have accumulated 484,745 net leasehold acres in the Williston Basin, of which approximately 91% is held by production. We are currently exploiting significant resource
potential from the Bakken and Three Forks formations, which are present across a substantial portion of our acreage. We believe the location, size and concentration of our acreage create an opportunity for us to achieve cost, recovery and production
efficiencies through the development of our project inventory. Our management team has a proven track record in identifying, acquiring and executing large, repeatable development drilling programs, which we refer to as &#147;resource
conversion&#148; opportunities, and has substantial Williston Basin experience. We have built our Williston Basin assets primarily through acquisitions and development activities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In addition to our exploration and production segment, we have a well services business segment and a midstream services business segment. Our well services business segment performs services for the oil and
natural gas wells operated by our exploration and production segment. Revenues for the well services segment are derived from providing well services, product sales and equipment rentals. Our midstream services business segment owns and operates
salt water gathering pipelines, salt water disposal wells, fresh water distribution pipelines, oil and natural gas gathering pipelines and a natural gas processing plant, and performs salt water gathering and disposal and other midstream services
for our oil and natural gas wells operated by our exploration and production segment. Revenues for the midstream segment are primarily derived from salt water pipeline transport, salt water disposal, fresh water sales and natural gas gathering.

Energy&#148;). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will acquire from SM Energy approximately 55,000 net acres in the Williston Basin (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;) for a purchase price of approximately $785 million in cash (the &#147;Purchase
Price&#148;). We will pay to SM Energy a deposit of approximately $78.5 million contemporaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The effective date for the acquisition is October 1, 2016 and the transaction is expected to close on
December 1, 2016. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, </FONT></P>

Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. For example, average daily prices for WTI crude oil ranged from a high of $51.23 per
barrel to a low of $26.19 per barrel during 2016. Average daily prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas ranged from a high of $3.19 per MMBtu to a low of $1.49 per MMBtu during 2016. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been
volatile. These markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production, and the levels of our production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the following: </FONT></P>

extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder on our common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower rate. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S.

worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Because of the oil and natural gas properties and other real property assets we own, we believe that we currently are, and expect to remain for the
foreseeable future, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, as long as our common stock continues to be regularly traded on an established securities market, only a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns, or owned at
any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the non-U.S. holder&#146;s holding period for the common stock, more than 5% of our common stock will be taxable on gain recognized on the disposition of
our common stock as a result of our status as a USRPHC. If our common stock ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the relevant disposition occurred, all non-U.S.
holders generally would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a taxable disposition of our common stock, and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock by such non-U.S. holders. </FONT></P>

common stock (if such disposition occurs after December 31, 2018), in each case if paid to a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; or a &#147;non-financial foreign entity&#148; (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such
foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain
payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that
are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; (as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding
agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E) or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise
qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing
these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. </FONT></P>

shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short
position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

Subordinated Debt Securities under a &#147;Subordinated Indenture&#148; to be executed in the future among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors of such Debt Securities, if any, and U.S. Bank National Association, or another entity, as trustee. U.S. Bank
National Association or any successor, or any other entity with which we execute an indenture, in its capacity as trustee under either or both of the indentures, is referred to as the &#147;Trustee&#148; for purposes of this section. Together, the

of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the

concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions.
These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these
activities at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If dealers are used, we will sell the securities to them as principals. The dealers may then resell that
