FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS & RISK FACTORS

Forward-Looking Statements and Reserve Estimates

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements about our business strategies and plans, plans for future drilling and resource development,prospective levels of capital expenditures and production and operating costs, and estimates of future results. Any statement in this presentation, including any opinions, forecasts, projections or other statements, other thanstatements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance such expectations are correct, andactual results may differ materially from those projected. In addition, this presentation includes information about our proved reserves. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in theirfilings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. This presentation also includes information about oil and gas quantity estimates that arenot permitted to be disclosed in SEC filings, including terms or designations such as “estimated ultimate recovery” or “EUR” or “resource” or “resource potential” or other terms bearing similar or related descriptions. These typesof estimates do not represent and are not intended to represent any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, do not comply with guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regardingforecasts of oil and gas reserves estimates, are, by their nature, more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves disclosed in SEC filings, and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greateruncertainty of being actually realized. Actual volumes or quantities of oil and gas that may be ultimately recovered will likely differ substantially from such estimates. Factors affecting such ultimate recovery include the scope ofour actual drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints,regulatory approvals, field spacing rules, and actual drilling, completion and production results as well as other factors. These estimates may change significantly as the development of properties provides additional data. Thispresentation also includes estimates of values attributable to the locations on which such oil and gas quantity estimates are based. The estimates of value set forth in this presentation were calculated based on the assumptionsand methodologies set forth in this presentation, which differ materially from the assumptions and methodologies oil and gas companies are required to use in calculating PV-10 values of proved reserves disclosed in SEC filings.As a result, the estimates of values included in this presentation do not represent and are not intended to represent the “PV-10” value that would be attributable to such items if such items were calculated based on applicableSEC requirements.

Risk Factors

Certain risks and uncertainties inherent in our operating businesses as well as certain on-going risks related to our operational and financial results are set forth in our filings with the SEC, particularly in the section entitled “RiskFactors” included in our most recently-filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recently-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and from time to time in other filings we make with the SEC. Some of the risks anduncertainties related to our business include, but are not limited to, our ability to decrease our leverage or fixed costs, increased competition, the timing and extent of changes in prices for oil and gas, particularly in the areaswhere we own properties, conduct operations, and market our production, as well as the timing and extent of our success in discovering, developing, producing and estimating oil and gas reserves, including from any horizontalwells we drill in the future, the timing and cost of our future production and development activities, our ability to successfully monetize the properties we are marketing, weather and government regulation, and the availabilityand cost of oil field services, personnel and equipment.

Investors are encouraged to review and consider the risk factors set forth in our historical and future SEC filings, as well as any set forth in this presentation, in connection with a review and consideration of this presentation.Our SEC filings are available directly from the Company – please send any requests to Ultra Petroleum Corp. at 116 Inverness Drive East, Suite 400, Englewood, CO 80112 (Attention: Investor Relations). Our SEC filings arealso available from the SEC on their website at www.sec.gov.

UPSIDE AND OPTIONALITY FOR ULTRA

Management of Base Production and Operating Costs:• Low LOE and G&A maintains approximate 60% operating margin at $2.50/MMBtu Opal/NWROX

• 55,000 BWPD capacity water management system owned by company provides for low water expenses

Reduction in Vertical Well Costs:• Long track record of continuous utilization of technology to reduce costs and cycle times• Recent success in design changes for wellbore construction and completion fluids provide additional cost reduction opportunities

Expand Resource with Horizontal Development:• Horizontal program has verified productive resource beyond the vertical boundary

• Incremental data and analysis demonstrating ability to reduce uncertainty

Continued Improvement to Balance Sheet:• 2L debt exchange reduced debt by approximately $253 million and extended maturities

• Recent recovery of $13.5 million leaves up to $240 million of potential remaining make-whole recovery from the January decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

Improved Gas Price Realizations Generate Significant Increase to Inventory and Cash Flow:• Can be achieved in the form of HHUB or NW Rockies basis improvements, or both

• Vertical inventory increases from 1,200 to 1,750 with price improvement from $2.50 to $2.75/MMBtu Opal

• With 238 – 244 BCFE of annual production, a $0.25/MMBtu improvement generates over $55 million of additional cash flow on an unhedged basis

Expected to Generate Free Cash Flow in Third & Fourth Quarter 2019

(1) Earnings before interest, taxes, depletion and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as Net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest, taxes, depletion and amortization and certain other non-recurring or non-cash charges. Management believes that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA is useful as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
