These statements are based on GeoMet's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include (i) risks inherent in the exploration for and development and production of coalbed methane and in estimating reserves, (ii) the presence or recoverability of estimated reserves, (iii) the ability to replace reserves, (iv) unexpected future capital expenditures, (v) general economic conditions, (vi) gas price volatility, (vii) the success of our hedging and other risk management activities, (viii) competition, (ix) regulatory changes, (x) the ability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals, (xi) cost and availability of transportation to get our gas to market, and (xii) other factors discussed in GeoMet's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. GeoMet assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. |
3 Summary Track Record of Success Substantial expertise and experience as a developer and operator of coalbed methane properties since 1985 Developed 5 large scale CBM projects in four separate basins (Black Warrior, Raton,
Central Appalachia and Cahaba Basins) 19 person technical, professional and project management team averages more than 16
years of CBM experience Operational Characteristics Proved reserves of 326 Bcf at YE 06 (75 % proved developed) Long lived reserves with low finding and development and unit operating costs
Current net daily gas sales volumes of approximately 20 MMcf 100% operational control Positioned for Growth Large inventory of development locations in existing 100% W.I. projects High potential in new development and exploration opportunities

Financial Overview |
22 Economic Parameters (1) The cost of finding and developing reserves is calculated for the three year time period by taking the sum of the cost incurred for exploration, development and acquisition, including future development costs attributable to proved undeveloped reserves, adjusted for the change for the period in the balance of unevaluated gas properties not subject to amortization and dividing such amount by the total proved reserve additions (2) Reserve additions for the period used to compute finding and development costs have been
estimated by independent petroleum engineers and adjusted for revisions to
previous estimates. (3) See appendix for calculations of three average finding and development 3 year average (excluding future development costs (2) ) $0.84 per Mcf (3) 3 year average (including future development costs (2) ) $1.16 per Mcf (3) Low Finding & Development Costs (1) Moderate and declining operating costs < $2.00 per Mcf Positive gas price differentials > $0.10 per Mcf Other |

contracts, stock-based compensation and accretion of asset retirement obligations. For reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, please refer to the appendix.
