Production for the three months ended September 30, 2016 declined 10% year-over-year and was down 3% sequentially. However, production for the 9-month period ended September 30, 2016 was up 22% from the same period of a year ago averaging 11,133 BOE/day, in line with the Company's full year guidance. Synergy's oil differentials improved for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 reflecting the favorable impact of uncommitted and non-operated volumes. Lease operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was favorably impacted by lower realized remediation expenditures as well as the effect of sales and trades of vertical wells in the prior quarter.

Operations Update

The Company continues to operate two drilling rigs with both rigs currently on the Evans drilling spacing unit where 13 long length lateral wells (~10,000') and nine extended length lateral wells (~12,000') are being drilled. Fifteen of the planned twenty-two wells have reached total depth and casing has been set with the remaining seven wells on schedule to be drilled.

Stimulation operations at the Fagerberg Pad recently finished and coiled tubing units have been moved onto location to begin the process of drilling out plugs in the 14 mid-length lateral wells (avg. ~7,600' lateral length).

Management Comment

Lynn A. Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Synergy commented, "Given that we did not plan to complete any additional wells in the 3rd quarter, we anticipated a quarter-over-quarter reduction due to the natural production declines inherent in unconventional reservoirs. As the Fagerberg pad begins to contribute to production in the 4th quarter of 2016 our overall volumes are expected to return to a level that is consistent with our full-year 2016 production guidance range."

Mr. Peterson also noted that, "As it relates to the transformation of the Company, it hasn't only been about significantly enlarging our Wattenberg Fairway footprint. Up to and including our Vista Pad that was brought online in the 2nd quarter of 2016, the Company had drilled and completed approximately 430,000 gross lateral feet of wellbore. Over the next six months, when completed, the Fagerberg and Evans pads will have approximately 350,000 gross lateral feet of wellbore."
