Participating Public Companies

Syntroleum Corporation is in the business of monetizing remote and/or stranded natural gas. It is the developer, user and licensor of the Syntroleum® Process, a proprietary process for converting natural gas (or synthesis gas from coal) into ultra clean liquid fuels like Diesel and Naphtha - a process generally known as gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Syntroleum employs its technology to acquire equity in oil and gas development projects where GTL can be critical to a project's success. Syntroleum also licenses the Syntroleum Process to others. Syntroleum's unique air-based GTL technology offers attractive solutions to monetize natural gas reserves (including flared gas) that are not economic to produce using traditional methods. The air-based technology enables Syntroleum to target gas reserves in the range of 1-3+ trillion cubic feet which are too small for LNG projects or world scale GTL projects. http://www.syntroleum.com/

Petrol Oil and Gas, Inc. , is producing oil, gas, and Coal Bed Methane at properties in Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri. Recently, the Company acquired 71 CBM producing wells in Southeast Kansas on 10,000 acres flowing about 3,000 Mcf per day. The new property has the potential for another 100 drillable sites, and the Company plans to utilize cash flow generated from this project to fund the aggressive drilling program currently underway. http://www.petroloilandgas.com/

Avalon Gold Corporation has an undivided 85% working interest in a giant gas field lease in the prolific natural gas producing Uinta Basin, located in the US Rockies, Utah. The lease comprises 13,189 acres with a potential 4 TCF recoverable gas and is overpressured by a 0.55 - 0.85 gradient. Avalon states that its Uinta Basin Prospect has the potential of being a Giant Gas Field similar to the Drunkards Wash Field and the Jonah Field, both recognized gas fields. The Drunkards Wash Field, just south of Avalon's prospect area, is estimated to be between 2-4 TCF of recoverable gas. The Jonah Field Overpressured Gas Plain, which is analogous to the Company's prospect area, has similar overpressuring, depth, reservoir rocks and is estimated to be 2.5+ TCF. http://www.avalongold.ws/

Silver Star Energy, Inc. is committed to the exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves throughout western North America. Company management is focused on an acquisition program targeting high quality, low risk prospects provided via key strategic partnerships. The Company has its first producing gas well being tied-in to pipeline in California, and excellent prospects both there and in Alberta. http://www.silverstarenergy.com/
