ANTERO MIDSTREAM ASSETS – RICH GAS MARCELLUS

• Provides Marcellus gathering and compression services − Liquids-rich gas is delivered to MWE’s Sherwood
Complex for processing• Significant growth projected over the next twelve
months as set out below:
• Antero sold the Harrison County portion of its gathering system to a 3rd party midstream company in 2012, which is now recognized as the 3rd Party Gathering and Compression Dedication area
• Development upside as AR continues to drill, step-out and add acreage
Marcellus Gathering & Compression
Note: Antero acreage position reflects tax districts in which greater than 3,000 net acres are owned.

• Further development upside in 175,000 net acres of Utica deep rights beneath the Marcellus Shale− Will require a separate dry gas gathering system

• Provides Utica natural gas and condensate gathering services− Liquids-rich gas delivered into MWE’s Seneca
Complex for processing− Condensate delivered to centralized stabilization
and truck loading facilities• Significant growth projected over the next twelve

Utica Compression• Opportunity to build up to ten new compressor stations
that are planned to support AR development over the next several years
ORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGY: “BUILD VS. BUY”
10
• Organic growth strategy provides attractive returns and project economics, while avoiding the competitive acquisition market
• Industry leading organic growth story
– ~$1.06 billion in capital spent through 9/30/2014
– $425 million in additional growth capital forecast for the twelve-month period ending 12/31/15 (excludes $12.5 million of maintenance capital)
Note: Precedent data per IHS Herold’s research and public filings.1. Antero organic multiple calculated as estimated gathering and compression capital expended through Q3 2014 divided by 12/31/15 projected gathering and compression EBITDA assuming 12-15
month lag between capital incurred and full system utilization.2. Selected gathering and compression drop down acquisitions since 1/1/2011. Drop down multiples are based on NTM EBITDA. Source: Barclays.

• 60% of $1.6 billion drilling and completion budget for 2015 focused on the Marcellus Shale; 80 gross wells expected to be completed
• Antero plans to operate an average of nine drilling rigs in the Marcellus Shale during 2015, including intermediate rigs
− 100% of rigs targeting the highly-rich gas/condensate and highly-rich gas regimes
• Of the 80 gross wells targeted to be completed in 2015, 90% (72 gross wells) are forecast to be completed in the AM dedicated area
− Only 8 gross wells are targeted for completion in the non-AM dedicated acreage; an additional 22 wells are expected to be drilled but not completed until 2016
− AM dedicated acreage contains 2,165 gross undeveloped Marcellus locations and 313 Upper Devonian locations
• Antero will defer 50 completions originally scheduled to occur in the second and third quarters of 2015 into 2016 in order to limit natural gas volumes sold into unfavorable pricing markets

LTM Production
NTM Production Forecast
Average LTM Production
MAINTENANCE CAPITAL METHODOLOGY
• Maintenance Capital Calculation Methodology– Estimate the number of new well connections needed during the forecast period in order to offset the natural
production decline and maintain the average throughput volume on our system over the LTM period
– (1) Compare this number of well connections to the total number of well connections estimated to be made during such period and
– (2) Designate an equal percentage of our estimated gathering capital expenditures as maintenance capital expenditures
33
Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets) made to maintain, over the long term, our operating capacity or revenue
• Illustrative Example
LTM Forecast Period
Decline of LTM average throughput to be replaced with production volume

• Gathering and Compression – 20-year agreement
– Dedication of all current and future AR acreage in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, outside of current
third-party commitments
– Option to gather and compress natural gas produced by Antero on any future acquired acreage outside of the
aforementioned areas
– Low-pressure gathering fee of $0.30/Mcf(1)
– High-pressure gathering fee of $0.18/Mcf(1)
– Compression fee of $0.18/Mcf(1)
– Minimum volume commitments on newly constructed high-pressure lines and compressor stations, respectively
– Compression minimum volume commitments of 70% of design capacity
– High-pressure gathering minimum volume commitments of 75% of design capacity
• Processing (“ROFO”)– Right of first offer on future processing services
– Agreement stipulates that AR has agreed not to procure any gas processing or NGLs fractionation,
transportation or marketing services (other than production subject to a pre-existing dedication) without first
offering AM the right to provide such services

CAUTIONARY NOTE
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates (collectively, “3P”). Antero has provided internally generated estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation in accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions, which have been audited by Antero’s third-party engineers. Unless otherwise noted, reserve estimates as of December 31, 2014 assume ethane rejection and strip pricing.
Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Antero’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Antero’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.
In this presentation:
• “3P reserves” refer to Antero’s estimated aggregate proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2014. The SEC prohibits companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.
• “EUR,” or “Estimated Ultimate Recovery,” refers to Antero’s internal estimates of per well hydrocarbon quantities that may bepotentially recovered from a hypothetical future well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and natural gas disclosure rules.
• “Condensate” refers to gas having a heat content between 1250 BTU and 1300 BTU in the Utica Shale.
• “Highly-rich gas/condensate” refers to gas having a heat content between 1275 BTU and 1350 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1225 BTU and 1250 BTU in the Utica Shale.
• “Highly-rich gas” refers to gas having a heat content between 1200 BTU and 1275 BTU in the Marcellus Shale and 1200 BTU and 1225 BTU in the Utica Shale.
• “Rich gas” refers to gas having a heat content of between 1100 BTU and 1200 BTU.
• “Dry gas” refers to gas containing insufficient quantities of hydrocarbons heavier than methane to allow their commercial extraction or to require their removal in order to render the gas suitable for fuel use.
