can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially
from RAMs expectations (Cautionary Statements)

quantities of RAMs oil and natural gas reserves,
future production levels, future prices and
demand for oil and natural gas, the results of
RAMs future exploration and development
activities, future operating, development costs
and future acquisitions, the effect of existing
and future laws and governmental regulations

RAM Investment Considerations
  • Strategic focus creating shareholder value
    through the drillbit and tuck in acquisitions
  • Stable cash flow base from long-lived reserves
    and strong mix of proved developed reserves
  • Proved developed reserves of 23.9 MMBOE equals
    63 of total proved reserves total of 37.8
    MMBOE(1)
  • R/P ratio 15 years (1)
  • Large inventory of growth opportunities
  • 287 PUD locations at June 30, 2007, a potential 3
    year drilling inventory at planned drilling rate
    for 2008

(1) At June 30, 2007

RAM Investment Considerations
  • 110,685 total net undeveloped conventional and
    unconventional acres, represent potential
    opportunities for future growth
  • Continued high degree of operating control
  • RAM operates approximately 92 percent of the
    PV-10 value of proved reserves and is operator of
    nearly all the undeveloped conventional and
    unconventional acreage
  • Preliminary 2008 capital spending budget of 80
    million targets growth in production and reserves
  • Average industry experience of technical and
    management staff is 15 years

reserves of RAM at 6/30/07 and RAMs estimate of
Ascents proved reserves at 6/30/07

RAM Investment Considerations
  • Managements substantial ownership of RAM stock
    continues to support alignment with shareholder
  • interest
  • RAM management owns approximately 21 of common
    stock outstanding
  • Compelling valuation vs. Peers
  • Significant discount to peers based on
    reserves(1)
  • Substantial discount to net asset value of proved
    reserves(1)

Estimates of Proved Reserves
____________
1. RAM SEC pricing at 6/30/07 was 70.69/Bbl for
oil and 6.395/Mcf for natural gas 2. Ascent
pricing at 6/30/07 was 67.25//bbl for oil and
6.57/Mcf for natural gas 3. Ascent reserves
are an estimate by RAM of Ascent's proved
reserves at 6/30/07, as audited by Netherland
Sewell
Associates 4. Totals may not sum due to rounding

Company Overview Reserves / Production(1)
  • Oil and liquids rich reserve base
  • 62 of production is based on price of oil

Company Overview Proved Reserves (1)
  • High ratio of PDP and PDNP component of total
    reserve and PV-10 value contributes to consistent
    cash flow

2008E Non-Acquisition Capital
ExpenditureBudget by Economic Risk
(1) Development Activity targeting primarily
conventional proved undeveloped reserves aimed at
conversion to proved developed producing
status. (2) Exploitation Activity targeting
shale plays known to be hydrocarbon bearing with
principal project risk is ability to
establish commercial development. (3)
Exploration Activity targeting discovery of
reserves from previously untested formations with
significant geological and commercial risk
present.
