On June 19, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Randall K. Arnold as a Director effective June 26, 2015.

Mr. Arnold brings over 38 years of experience drilling, completing and producing oil and natural gas wells throughout the major basins in the United States. Mr. Arnold graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Arnold began his oilfield experience in 1976 while completing his degree with Cameron Iron Works.

After graduating Mr. Arnold accepted a position with Phillips Petroleum as a drilling engineer working in Oklahoma and the North Sea. In 1980, he joined Petro Lewis Corporation ("Petro Lewis") as an operations engineer and over a five year career at Petro Lewis held the positions of District Engineer, Production Superintendent, Operations Manager for the SW Region located in Lubbock, TX and Operations Manager for the Central Region located in Denver, CO encompassing an area from North Dakota to West Texas.
 
From 1985 to 1995 Mr. Arnold worked for three small independent exploration companies, Liedtke Operating Corp, Emerald Corp, and Wilbanks Exploration. He then started his own company in 1995, Buffalo Operating Corporation. In 2002 Mr. Arnold accepted a position with Delta Petroleum ("Delta") as Operations Manager and was eventually promoted to Senior Vice President of Operations. In 2006 after leaving Delta, he again ran Buffalo Operating Corporation and in 2008 became a member of North Plains Energy ("NPE") and in 2012 was retained by NPE as a consultant until NPE was sold to Kodiak Oil and Gas in 2012.
