Gentlemen:

Pursuant to your request, we have prepared estimates of the extent and value of the net proved natural gas reserves, as of December 31,
2009, of certain coal bed methane properties owned by GeoMet, Inc. (GeoMet). The properties appraised consist of working and royalty interests located in the states of Alabama, Virginia, and West Virginia. GeoMet has represented that these
properties account for 100 percent of proved reserves.

Estimates of proved reserves presented in this report have been
prepared in compliance with the regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reserves definitions are discussed in detail under the Definition of Reserves heading of this letter.

Reserves included herein are expressed as gross and net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced
from these properties after December 31, 2009. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by GeoMet after deducting all royalties and interests owned by others. Gas volumes shown herein
are sales-gas volumes and are expressed at a temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at the legal pressure base of the state in which the interest is located.

Values of proved reserves shown herein are expressed in terms of estimated future gross revenue, future net revenue, and present worth of future net revenue. Future gross revenue is that revenue which
will accrue to the appraised interests from the production and sale of the estimated net reserves. Future net revenue is calculated by deducting estimated production taxes, ad valorem taxes, and operating expenses, and capital costs from the future
gross revenue. Operating expenses include field operating expenses, transportation expenses, compression charges, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Future income tax expenses were not taken into account in
the preparation of these estimates. Present worth is defined as future net revenue discounted at 10 percent compounded monthly over the expected period of realization.

Estimates of natural gas reserves and future net revenue should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such
reserves estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.

Data used in this report were obtained from GeoMet, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources.
In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by GeoMet with respect to property interests appraised, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development,
current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. It was not considered necessary to make a field examination of the
physical condition and operation of the properties.

Methodology and Procedures

Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry.
The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history.

When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original gas in place (OGIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to
estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available
and when circumstances justified, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.

Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions
of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. An analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil
ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.

For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a
reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were
estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limits of economic production based on current conditions.

Definition of
Reserves

Petroleum reserves included in this report are classified as proved. Only proved reserves have been evaluated
for this report. Reserves classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 410(a) (1)(32) of Regulation SX of the SEC. Reserves are judged to be economically producible in future
years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were
estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided
only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:

Proved oil and gas reservesProved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty
to be economically produciblefrom a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulationsprior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate
expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be
reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as
proved includes:

(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled
portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in
a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO)
elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher
contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery
techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

(A) Successful
testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology
establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be
determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such
period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Developed oil and gas reservesDeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means
not involving a well.

Undeveloped oil and gas reservesUndeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any
category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology
exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Undrilled locations can be
classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.410 (a) Definitions], or by
other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Primary Economic Assumptions

Revenue values in this report were estimated using the initial prices and costs specified by GeoMet. Future prices were estimated using
guidelines established by the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The following economic assumptions were used for estimating existing and future prices and costs:

Natural Gas Prices

Gas price differentials for each property were provided by GeoMet. The prices for gas from each field were calculated using these differentials to a Henry Hub price of $3.87 per million British thermal units (MMBtu)

and were held constant for the lives of the properties. The Henry Hub gas price of $3.87 is the 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior December 31, 2009. Gas prices shown in the appendix bound with this report are expressed in thousands of cubic feet (Mcf) and have been adjusted for heating value. The
weighted average price over the lives of the properties in the White Oak Creek field is $3.978 per Mcf. The weighted average price over the lives of the properties in the Gurnee field is $4.046 per Mcf. The weighted average price over the lives of
the properties in the Pond Creek field is $4.066 per Mcf. The weighted average price over the lives of the properties in the Lasher field is $4.107 per Mcf.

Operating Expenses and Capital Costs

Estimates of operating expenses and
capital costs based on current costs were used for the lives of the properties with no increases in the future based on inflation. In certain cases, future costs, either higher or lower than current costs, may have been used because of anticipated
changes in operating conditions. Future capital expenditures were estimated using 2009 values and were not adjusted for inflation.

While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participants ability to recover its oil and gas reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which
would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2009, estimated oil and gas volumes. The reserves estimated in this report can be produced under current regulatory guidelines.

Summary and Conclusions

The estimates of net proved reserves
attributable to GeoMet from the properties appraised, as of December 31, 2009, are summarized as follows, expressed millions of cubic feet (MMcf):
