COMMENTARY

Frontier Rig 24 finished drilling the curve at 11,635 feet MD in the Three Forks on the Bootleg 6-14-15TFH. Currently the 7 inch intermediate casing is being run. Following this operation the lateral will be drilled. Once the Bootleg 6-14-15TFH is drilled, the rig will then be moved to the north pad and begin drilling the two Ironbank wells.

A rig is on site repairing the liner on the Matilda Bay 1. Following this work over the fracture stimulation program will be completed.

HAWK SPRINGS PROJECT, GOSHEN COUNTY, WYOMING
Bluff 1-11 (SSN 25%)

The design of the completion testing of this well is likely to be completed this week, after which the necessary equipment can be mobilized to this well to begin this program. The design work has taken longer than expected because the geologic occurrence of nitrogen is not common in the oil and gas industry and therefore understanding of the log response to this gas is not prevalent.

RAINBOW PROJECT, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
Gladys 1-20H (SSN 23%)

The Gladys 1-20 H well has been drilled by Continental Resources to a total depth of 19,994 feet. The well is a 1,280 acre lateral (approximately 10,000 feet) in the middle member of the Bakken Formation.

Currently the rig is pulling out of the hole to prepare to run the 4-1/2 inch liner.

ROOSEVELT PROJECT
Australia II 12KA 6, #1-29H, (SSN 100%)

A work over rig was moved onto the well July 16th to re-establish production. Rods were parted at the top of the pump. Tubing was pulled to retrieve the pump. Tubing, rods, and a new pump were run back in hole, and the well was put on production July 18th. The last 3 days of continuous production has averaged 100 BOPD.

Samson’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol "SSN." Samson's American Depository Shares (ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol "SSN." Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson. Samson has a total of 2,837 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding (including 230 million options exercisable at AUD 3.8 cents), which would be the equivalent of 141.85 million ADSs. Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.43 per ADS on July 28th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately US$63.58 million (the options have been valued at an exchange rate of 0.9390). Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.023 for ordinary shares and a closing price of A$0.012 for the 2017 options, on July 28th, 2014, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately A$68.01 million.
