GeoMet Announces Plan to Divest Appalachia Producing Properties

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) - GeoMet, Inc. (OTCQB: GMET) (NASDAQ: GMETP) (the "Company") announced today that it has engaged Lantana Oil & Gas Partners, a Houston-based divestiture firm, to market substantially all of the Company's coal bed methane interests located in the Appalachia Basin in McDowell, Wyoming, Raleigh, Barbour and Taylor Counties of West Virginia and Buchanan County Virginia. The assets represent coal bed methane vertical wells and, to a lesser extent, horizontal wells. The operated and non-operated interests include 406 wells (298 vertical and 108 horizontal wells). Most vertical wells have a 100% working interest and an average net revenue interest of 80% while the working interest of the horizontal wells varies from 33% to 100%. The vertical wells are characterized by shallow production decline curves and long lives while the horizontal wells display more of the conventional natural gas well decline characteristics.

Current net sales on these properties are approximately 22.8 MMcf per day and current net operating cash flows averaged approximately $1.65 million per month for the twelve months ending August 31, 2013 at an average realized price of $3.58 per Mcf. At September 30, 2013, using Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, our net interests in these wells represented 103.3 BCF and $73.6 million of present value at 10 percent.
