How We Do It
OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH

Benefits of NOG's Non-Operated Model
Efficient Operations Enhance Return Profile
- Peer leading cost structure & Corporate ROCE
- Unit G&A costs are 50% less than operating peers
- Scalable Model: NOG has <40 employees
Leveraging Data and Experience
- Proprietary database, built from participation in over 10,000 wells
- Enables well-informed and experience-backed investment decisions on a timely basis
Capital Allocation Flexibility
- Ability to "cherry-pick" from >100 operating partners across ~1MM+ gross acres in 3 basins
- Superior flexibility to manage capital allocation and to do so quickly
- Costs limited to drilling, completion, and acreage
Non-Op Tailwind
- NOG is capitalizing on industry strategy shift as operators focus on free cash flow generation instead of growth
- This has led to record level non-op "Ground Game" opportunities

Focus on the Highest-Quality Areas
No requirement for contiguous acreage allows NOG to participate in prime drilling opportunities across basins or regions.
