WildHorse Resource Development Corporation Provides Operational Update Following Hurricane Harvey

August 29, 2017

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WildHorse Resource Development Corporation (NYSE: WRD) announced today
that its Eagle Ford operations and production have been minimally
affected by Hurricane Harvey. WRD’s assets sustained no damage and only
a small portion of its Eagle Ford production was temporarily shut-in
during the storm. WRD is currently operating all five of its rigs and
experienced insignificant drilling down time. Completions were
temporarily suspended due to weather conditions, but are again
operational with two of three crews back online. Full completion
operations are expected within the next twenty-four hours with the
resumption of the third crew. While the availability of third-party
oil-hauling trucks has been limited by the storm, considerable capacity
has returned to our region with most capacity expected to return over
the next few days. These temporary trucking constraints affected oil
sales but not production volumes.

“We are very proud of our field personnel and their ability to prepare
for this storm. They have managed to keep us operational with minimal
down time while also maintaining an unwavering commitment to the safety
and welfare of our employees,” said Jay Graham, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of WRD, “As the Texas Gulf Coast recovers from this
disaster, the community will be foremost in our thoughts and prayers. We
would also like to thank our first responders for their amazing work as
well as the contributions of countless citizens volunteering at this
time. Together as a community, we plan on coming back stronger than ever
from this storm.”
