17 Exploration Opportunities at MC 538 “Medusa” Medusa (MC 538/582) acquired via the Callon Transaction in 2013 ( WI: 15%; NRI: 15%*) – August average daily production of roughly 760 Boepd net to W&T (~86% oil) – Medusa spar is also the host facility for the W&T owned “Gladden” production at MC 800 Expansion activity underway at Medusa – Currently completing the first of two exploratory wells ▪ The SS 6 well reached TD at year - end encountering net pay in both primary zones. The well logged over 180’ of net pay. The SS 7 well was drilled to TD in early March and encountered over 100’ of net pay ▪ Completion operations of the Medusa SS 7 are expected to commence immediately after completing the SS 6 ▪ We expect these exploratory wells to move probable reserves into the proved category and have first production in mid - 2015 – A dditional wells are currently under evaluation * This provides for royalty suspension

18 Neptune Field Neptune Field (WI: 20.0%, NRI: 17.5% ) • Atwater Valley 574, 575 and 618 • January estimated gross average daily production rate of 9,618 Boe (1,683 Boe net to W&T’s interest) (~88% oil) • W ater depth of 6,200’; TLP is situated on Block 574 where the water depth is about 5,500’ • Additional exploration and development could substantially increase field size Completed AT 574 SB 03 • Successfully drilled to a depth of 20,650 feet and found over 300 feet of net pay • Well commenced production in December 2014 and is producing at a gross rate of ~1,200 Boe per day.

19 Neptune Field and Other Woodside Acquisition Upside Neptune Upside • Drilling – Northern half of field has never been tested due to the difficulty of seismic imaging under the salt overhang. Significant upside exists to potentially double the size of the field if future exploration efforts are successful. • Gas - lift – Operator is implementing a gas - flowline injection system to increase production and recovery of existing reservoir. Should finalize during 2015 2 nd quarter. Additional Woodside Acquisition Upside • Additional drilling potential exists on other exploration leases (a total of 24 additional deepwater blocks acquired)

24 2015 Seismic Data Reviews Driving Long Term GOM Shelf Offshore Program Seismic data reviews plus recent drilling success on GOM Shelf, especially at our Mahogany Field, are creating further opportunities • Eight wells have been drilled and completed by us at Mahogany since 2011. These wells, recompletions and selective remedial work have increased Mahogany average daily net sales by ~323% since 2011. During the near term, we are reviewing seismic and production data covering this area • Field growth from additional new wells will resume after we have completed our seismic data review and incorporated our improved understanding of sub - salt targets By applying the lessons of success from Mahogany and seismic data reviews on other targeted lease blocks, we anticipate Mahogany - like opportunities elsewhere on the Shelf as well as in the Deepwater • Mahogany has become an outstanding success that we are modeling i n other areas using the same technique • Substantially all of our reviews are on acreage that we hold by production or primary term

PERMIAN BASIN Onshore

29 Permian Basin: Overview of Asset and Activity Permian Basin (WI: 100%, NRI: ~78%) • ~32,000 net acres with 26,000 highly contiguous net acres in the heart of the Northern Midland Basin portion of the Permian Basin • Current drilling program is suspended pending improved commodity prices and lower cost of goods and services • Our Permian acreage is ~ 90% “held by production” Key Points for Permian Basin • Most recently, the UL Mason 2LS, a Lower Spraberry shale well in Andrews County drilled with a 7,619 foot lateral and completed with 33 stages, achieved a IP rate of 1,709 Boe/d (91% oil) on ESP. This well is one of the top wells in the basin • The Chablis 10H and Chablis 13H (two Wolfcamp B wells drilled from a common pad) reached 24 hr peak test rates of 968* Boepd (80% oil) and 1,125* Boepd (89% oil), respectively • Our f irst horizontal Lower Spraberry Shale well, Pinot 65 15H, reached a 24 hr test rate of 965* Boepd (86% oil) • Next Lower Spraberry Shale well, UL 7 - 10 6H, has been drilled and is waiting on completion (8700’ lateral length is our longest to date) • UL 6 - 2 4H Lower Spraberry Shale well is in early stages of flowback Midland Basin W&T Acreage *Rates normalized for 7500’ effective lateral length

30 Permian Basin – Northern Midland Basin Portion W&T’s Acreage Location W&T’s approximately 28,000 gross acre leasehold in the Yellow Rose Field is located in the Northern Midland Basin, slightly east of the basin axis. Deep position allows for higher thermal maturity and higher pressures to increase potential for hydrocarbon recovery, and potential for stacked horizontal targets multiplies the effective acreage. Currently seven potential horizontal targets have been identified.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA 36 The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income to consolidated EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA: We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense (which includes interest income), depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties . Adjusted EBITDA excludes the loss on extinguishment of debt and the gain or loss related to our derivative contracts . Although not prescribed under GAAP, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and they help our investors understand our operating performance and make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures . EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity . EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies . In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent funds available for discretionary use .

2014 Year End Proved Reserves 37 1) In accordance with guidelines established by the SEC, our proved reserves as of December 31, 2014 were determined to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, which requires the use of the unweighted arithmetic average of the first - day - of - the - month price for oil and gas for the period J anuary 2014 through December 2014. Also note that the PV - 10 value is a non - GAAP financial measure. We refer to PV - 10 as the present value of estimated future net revenues of estimated proved reserves as calculated by our indepe ndent petroleum consultant using a discount rate of 10%. This amount includes projected revenues, estimated production costs and estimated f utu re development costs and excludes ARO. For 2014, proved reserves and PV - 10 were calculated using average prices of $ 91.12 per barrel for oil, $ 34.63 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $4.265 per Mcf for natural gas, as adjusted for energy content for natural gas, quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials.
