NYSE:CRK This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements include estimates of future natural gas and oil reserves, expected natural gas and oil production and future expenses, assumptions regarding future natural gas and oil prices, budgeted capital expenditures and other anticipated cash outflows, as well as statements concerning anticipated cash flow and liquidity, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Our production forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include the timing and extent of changes in market prices for oil and gas, operating risks, liquidity risks, including risks relating to our debt, political and regulatory developments and legislation, and other risk factors and known trends and uncertainties as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

4 Haynesville / Mid-Bossier Shales

• Haynesville and Mid-Bossier Shales are similar in composition and depocenters

• The more organic content occurring in De Soto Parish and in Nacogdoches Co.

• Dark gray, calcareous, organic-rich with non-organic mudstone out of depocenter

filled horizontal fractures common in depocenters. Additional vertical fractures occurs in uplift and later re- activated areas, likely in U. Cretaceous ~150 • Common dispersed quartz, silt, forams, mya undifferentiated carbonate grains, with occasional pyrite and calcite concretions

• Bedded argillaceous dolomites, local burrowed zones with hummocky cross- laminations in Mid-Bossier

• Local mollusk shells, minor ammonites and Scolecodont fragments ( Core Lab ) Haynesville / Mid-Bossier Shales Technical Data (Play-Wide Averages) Mid-Bossier Haynesville • Depth range – 8,600’ – 15,480’ • Depth range – 9,500’ – 17,100’ • Thickness range – 100-305’ • Thickness range – 120-330’ • Reservoir pressure – 6,800 – 13,000 • Reservoir pressure – 7,000 – 16,000 • Pressure gradient – 0.7 – 0.95 • Pressure gradient – 0.7- 0.95 • Temperature – 260 - 340 • Temperature – 260 - 430 • TOC – 3.05% • TOC – 2.91% • Porosity – 7.59% • Porosity – 6.90% • Permeability – 18 nD • Permeability – 120 nD • Water saturation – 38.8% • Water saturation – 30.29% • Gas saturation – 58.7% • Gas saturation – 69% • Clastics – 32% • Clastics – 37% • Carbonate – 19% • Carbonate – 24% • Clay – 37% • Clay – 28% • Kerogen – 7% • Kerogen – 6% • Thermal maturity – 1.59% • Thermal maturity – 1.55%

Fractures Horizontal Vertical

• Horizontal tensile fractures caused by the development of overpressure and hydrocarbon generation.

• Vertical fractures are related to post-depositional local/regional uplift and subsequent reactivation. Possibly, vertical fractures may have been associated with hydrocarbon generation and overpressure.

• Two Types of petroleum inclusions are present in the horizontal calcite veins: high gravity light oil or condensate, and relatively dry gas.

• Vertical calcite veins appear mostly with high gravity light oil or condensate.

• QEP most prolific operator with liner Original Completion- refrac program 5-8 Clusters/Stage • Data was analyzed on 60-80’ Cluster Spacing 37 QEP wells that have 500-1,000 lbs/ft Sand had a liner refrac • 30 day IP uplift of 1.2 times original • EUR uplift of 1.7 times the original • IRR’s are comparable Liner Refrac Design- to newer vintage wells 5 Clusters/Stage 30’ Cluster Spacing • All older CRK wells are 3,800 lbs/ft Sand refrac candidates

80 The Future of the Haynesville/Bossier

• Drilling and Completion Optimization • Longer laterals • More proppant • Optimizing spacing/job size • Stacking/Staggering • Optimization of diverters • Use of dissolvable plugs • Use of local proppants and less mesh size sorting • More aggressive flowback with larger frac jobs • Continue developing the Bossier and optimizing drilling and completions. Will have more grass roots opportunities here. • Continue optimizing liner refracs. • Two laterals from one wellbore to capture both Haynesville and Bossier reserves. • Consolidation of operators
