Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are based upon current
expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include risks inherent in exploratory drilling
activities, the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices, unforeseen engineering and mechanical or technological difficulties in drilling wells, availability of drilling
rigs and other services, land issues, federal and state regulatory developments and other risks more fully described in the Companys filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of
geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under
existing economic conditions (using unweighted average 12-month first day of the month prices), operating methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at
which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic
methods are used for the estimation. We currently do not disclose probable or possible reserves in our filings with the SEC.
In this presentation, the term EUR, or estimated ultimate recovery, refers to the Company's internal estimates of hydrocarbon volumes that may be potentially
discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. These estimates do not necessarily represent reserves as defined under
SEC rules or the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System and by their nature and accordingly are more speculative and substantially
less certain of recovery and no discount or other adjustment is included in the presentation of such estimates. Drilling locations included in this presentation are Company
estimates based upon its current acreage position, which have not necessarily been assigned reserves and may not ultimately be drilled.
EUR estimates and drilling locations have not been risked by Company management. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from
the Company's interests could differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of our ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the
availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation
constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of EUR and
other recoverable hydrocarbon potential may change significantly as development of the Company's resource plays and prospects provide additional data.
Unless otherwise indicated, other estimates of hydrocarbon volumes contained herein have been prepared internally by the Company without review by
independent petroleum engineers. Investors are urged to consider closely the reserves disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010.
"De-risked" core development acreage and related well locations in the Williston Basin refers to acreage and locations that the Company believes the relative
geological risks with recovery has been reduced as a result of drilling operations to date. However, only a small portion of such acreage and locations has been attributed
proved undeveloped reserves and ultimate recovery from such acreage and locations remains subject to all the recovery risks applicable to other acreage.
Pre-tax PV10% Value is the estimated present value of the future net revenues from the Companys proved oil and natural gas reserves before income taxes,
discounted using a 10% discount rate. Pre-tax PV10% Value is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations because it does not include the effects
of future income taxes, as is required in computing the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The Company believes that pre-tax PV10% Value is an
important measure that can be used to evaluate the relative significance of its oil and natural gas properties and that pre-tax PV10% Value is widely used by security
analysts and investors when evaluating oil and natural gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future
income taxes to be paid, the use of a pre-tax measure provides greater comparability of assets when evaluating companies. The Company believes that most other
companies in the oil and natural gas industry calculate pre-tax PV10% Value on the same basis. Pre-tax PV10% Value is computed on the same basis as the standardized
measure of discounted future net cash flows, but without deducting income taxes.

De-risked inventory - Williston Basin drilling program de-risked ~235,200* net core acres
Outstanding returns - advanced drilling and completion techniques driving industry leading returns
88 ND Bakken / Three Forks long lateral, high frac stage wells completed at average peak rate of 2,797 Boe/d
794 net development locations remaining in current core acreage
Opportunity to grow to 1,299 net development locations based on Rough Rider Three Forks potential
~$8.9 million CWC and 600 Mboe EUR generates estimated NPV per well of ~$8.7 million**
~51% IRR**; undiscounted payback period of ~1.9 years**
Drilling acceleration - growing to 12 rigs by Q1 2012; ~132 gross well annual run rate
Accelerates incremental wells in 2011 and 2012 at an estimated $8.7 million** NPV per well
Acceleration drives estimated 100% growth in oil volumes in 2011
Converts majority of core acreage to HBP status over ~ 3 years
Significant oil driven reserve growth - Williston Basin drilling drives 141% reserve growth in 2010
Proved reserves total 66.8 million Boe, 78% oil, 35% proved developed, 55.5 million Boe Williston Basin reserves
Highly attractive $9.23 per Boe drilling and leasehold acquisition finding and development costs
Strong liquidity position - funding in place for 2011 and 2012 cap-ex budgets
$687 million of liquidity at June 30, 2011 $362 million of cash and short term investments and untapped credit facility with $325
million borrowing base
Non-core divestitures planned to fund further acceleration
Additional catalysts - substantial incremental NAV creation to be assessed over the next 12 months
BEXP and other operators completed 5 successful Rough Rider Three Forks well at avg. IP of 2,053 Boe/d, further delineating
attractive Rough Rider Three Forks drilling economics; two additional BEXP wells completing
BEXP has completed 7 Montana wells with avg. IP of 1,576 Boe/d; 4 additional wells planned for 2011
Smart pad drilling & completions already driving efficiency improvements that should increasingly enhance well NAVs
Increased Williston Basin core net acreage by 10,800 net acres; additional drilling success could further grow core acreage

Key Takeaways
Manufacturing oil Commanding / growing presence in premier domestic oil resource play, with
multiple pay zones and infill drilling providing significant optionality
Advanced drilling and completion designs driving industry leading production, EURs and returns
Significant incremental NAV growth catalysts to be assessed over the next 12 months
Accelerating to 12 rigs by March 2012, bringing forward significant NAV growth in 2011 and 2012
Current liquidity position able to fund level of acceleration beyond 12 rig program
Outstanding drilling results, significant and growing inventory of development drilling locations, favorable
operating environment and current liquidity position create an opportunity to accelerate drilling activity
and bring forward incremental net asset value per share.
