term). These policies provide third party surface clean-up, bodily injury and property damage coverage, and defense costs when a pollution event is sudden and accidental and is discovered within thirty days of commencement and reported to the
insurance company within ninety days of discovery. This is standard coverage in oil and gas insurance policies. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Additionally, offshore
operations maintain additional coverage with an Operators Extra Expense (Control of Well) Policy (for a twelve-month term) which covers clean up, third party bodily injury and property damage, and defense costs when a well gets out of control above
the surface of the ground or water bottom. This coverage falls under a Combined Single Limit (CSL) of $35,000,000. PrimeEnergy&#146;s Combined Single Limit is subject to an annual aggregate of $17,500,000 for the interests insured in the event a
loss under the policy is caused by a Named Windstorm. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

of providing mutual hold harmless and indemnity agreements, which results in each party being liable or responsible for all claims related to its employees and its contractors, as well as any damage to its and its contractor&#146;s property.
Currently, substantially all of our contracts contain mutual hold harmless and indemnity provisions. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>From time to time, a small number
of our contractors have requested contractual provisions that require us to respond to third-party claims. In some of these instances we have accepted the risk with the understanding that it would be covered under our current coverage. We evaluate
these risk-transferring negotiations cautiously, and we feel that we have adequately mitigated this risk through existing coverage or acquiring supplemental coverage when appropriate. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At your request, Ryder Scott Company (Ryder Scott) has prepared an estimate of the proved reserves, future production, and income attributable to certain leasehold and royalty interests of PrimeEnergy
Corporation and 100% of its&#146; Partnership Interests (PrimeEnergy) of December&nbsp;31, 2009. The subject properties are located in the states of Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia and
Wyoming and in the federal waters offshore Louisiana and Texas. The reserves and income data were estimated based on the definitions and disclosure guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) contained in Title 17, Code
of Federal Regulations, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, Final Rule released January&nbsp;14, 2009 in the Federal Register (SEC regulations). Our third party study was prepared for public disclosure by PrimeEnergy Corporation in filings made
with the SEC in accordance with the disclosure requirements set forth in the SEC regulations. The results of our third party study, completed on April&nbsp;14, 2010, are presented herein. The properties reviewed by Ryder Scott represent 100 percent
of the total net proved liquid hydrocarbon reserves and 100 percent of the total net proved gas reserves of PrimeEnergy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
estimated reserves and future net income amounts presented in this report, as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 are related to hydrocarbon prices. The hydrocarbon prices used in the preparation of this report are based on the average prices during the
12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered in this report, determined as unweighted arithmetic averages of the prices in effect on the first-day-of-the-month for each month within such period, unless prices were defined by
contractual arrangements as required by the SEC regulations. Actual future prices may vary significantly from the prices required by SEC regulations; therefore, volumes of reserves actually recovered and the amounts of income actually received may
differ significantly from the estimated quantities presented in this report. The results of this study are summarized below. </FONT></P>

petroleum that are anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, from known accumulations under defined conditions. All reserve estimates involve an assessment of the uncertainty relating the likelihood that the actual remaining
quantities recovered will be greater or less than the estimated quantities determined as of the date the estimate is made. The uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available at the time of the estimate
and the interpretation of these data. The relative degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two principal classifications, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to be recovered than proved
reserves, and may be further sub-classified as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their recoverability. At PrimeEnergy&#146;s request, this report addresses only the proved reserves attributable to the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Proved reserve estimates will generally be revised only as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic conditions change. For proved reserves, the SEC states that &#147;as
changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or
remain constant than to decrease.&#148; Moreover, estimates of proved reserves may be revised as a result of future operations, effects of regulation by governmental agencies or geopolitical or economic risks. Therefore, the proved reserves included

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The estimation of reserves involves two distinct determinations. The first determination results in the estimation of the quantities of
recoverable oil and gas and the second determination results in the estimation of the uncertainty associated with those estimated quantities in accordance with the definitions set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s Regulations
Part 210.4-10(a). The process of estimating the quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves relies on the use of certain generally accepted analytical procedures. These analytical procedures fall into three broad categories or methods:
(1)&nbsp;performance-based methods; (2)&nbsp;volumetric-based methods; and (3)&nbsp;analogy. These methods may be used singularly or in combination by the reserve evaluator in the process of estimating the quantities of reserves. Reserve evaluators
must select the method or combination of methods which in their professional judgment is most appropriate given the nature and amount of reliable geoscience and engineering data available at the time of the estimate, the established or anticipated
performance characteristics of the reservoir being evaluated and the stage of development or producing maturity of the property. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In many cases, the analysis of the available geoscience and engineering data and the subsequent interpretation of this data may indicate a range of possible outcomes in an estimate, irrespective of the
method selected by the evaluator. When a range in the quantity of reserves is identified, the evaluator must determine the uncertainty associated with the incremental quantities of the reserves. If the reserve quantities are estimated using the
deterministic incremental approach, the uncertainty for each discrete incremental quantity of the reserves is addressed by the reserve category assigned by the evaluator. Therefore, it is the categorization of reserve quantities as proved, probable
and/or possible that addresses the inherent uncertainty in the estimated quantities reported. </FONT></P>

by performance methods. These performance methods include, but may not be limited to, decline curve analysis, and material balance which utilized extrapolations of historical production and pressure data available through December, 2009 in those
cases where such data were considered to be definitive. The data utilized in this analysis were supplied to Ryder Scott by PrimeEnergy or obtained from public data sources and were considered sufficient for the purpose thereof. Approximately five
percent of the proved producing reserves were estimated by the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods. These methods were used where there were inadequate historical performance data to establish a definitive trend and where the use

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To estimate economically recoverable proved oil and gas reserves and related future net cash flows, we consider many factors and assumptions including, but not limited to, the use of reservoir parameters
derived from geological, geophysical and engineering data that cannot be measured directly, economic criteria based on current costs and SEC pricing requirements, and forecasts of future production rates. Under the SEC regulations 210.4-10(a)(22)(v)
and (26), proved reserves must be anticipated to be economically producible from a given date forward based on existing economic conditions including the prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. While it
may reasonably be anticipated that the future prices received for the sale of production and the operating costs and other costs relating to such production may increase or decrease from those under existing economic conditions, such changes were,
in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, omitted from consideration in making this evaluation. </FONT></P>

Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The &#147;Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting; Final Rule&#148; includes revisions and additions to the definition section in Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X, revisions and additions to the oil and gas

referred to herein collectively as the &#147;SEC Regulations&#148;. The SEC Regulations take effect for all filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, or after January&nbsp;1, 2010. Reference
should be made to the full text under Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X Part 210, Rule 4-10(a) for the complete definitions, as the following definitions, descriptions and explanations rely wholly or in part on excerpts from the
original document (direct passages excerpted from the aforementioned SEC document are denoted in italics herein). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Reserves
are those estimated remaining quantities of petroleum which are anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, from known accumulations under defined conditions. All reserve estimates involve some degree of uncertainty. The
uncertainty depends chiefly on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available at the time of the estimate and the interpretation of these data. The relative degree of uncertainty may be conveyed by placing reserves into one of two
principal classifications, either proved or unproved. Unproved reserves are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves and may be further sub-classified as probable and possible reserves to denote progressively increasing uncertainty in their
recoverability. Under the SEC Regulations as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, or after January&nbsp;1, 2010, a company may optionally disclose estimated quantities of probable or possible oil and gas reserves in documents publicly filed with the
Commission. The SEC Regulations continue to prohibit disclosure of estimates of oil and gas resources other than reserves and any estimated values of such resources in any document publicly filed with the Commission unless such information is
required to be disclosed in the document by foreign or state law as noted in &#167;229.1202 Instruction to Item&nbsp;1202. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Reserves estimates will generally be revised as additional geologic or engineering data become available or as economic conditions
change. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Reserves may be attributed to either natural energy or improved recovery methods. Improved recovery methods include
all methods for supplementing natural energy or altering natural forces in the reservoir to increase ultimate recovery. Examples of such methods are pressure maintenance, natural gas cycling, waterflooding, thermal methods, chemical flooding, and
the use of miscible and immiscible displacement fluids. Other improved recovery methods may be developed in the future as petroleum technology continues to evolve. </FONT></P>
