Outlook

Pinedale is not the operator of its properties and Pinedale is reliant on its operating partners to conduct operations on its properties including development and exploration activities. An operator of Pinedale's properties has indicated that during 2019 it plans to develop vertical wells in the core of Pinedale field and area operators continue to analyze horizontal exploration drilling opportunities. In February 2019 Pinedale received an Authority for Expenditure ("AFE") request to drill vertical well Warbonnet 14A1-25D, and in March 2019 Pinedale elected to not participate in the proposed operations. Pinedale is focused on repaying existing capital loans in 2019 and will evaluate AFE well proposals on a case by case basis. Pinedale's AFE election decisions are influenced by considerations that include internally generated projections of internal rates of returns, access to capital, well development scenarios and alternative well proposals.
