Executive Summary

• Forster is building/rebuilding a modern fleet of bigger, better rigs standardized as to make (National Drawworks and Lee C. Moore Masts) and rated at between 950hp and 2,000hp with 11,000 to 20,000 foot maximum drilling depths.

• We will concentrate our operations in own backyard, Texas and New Mexico, where rig utilization rates and day rates remain higher, due to prospect quality and a heavy concentration of natural gas resources.

• In addition to the original capital contribution by Company founder F. E. Forster III, we have raised approximately $5M dollars from three equity rounds. Those funds were used to purchase seven drawworks, two masts, a substructure, rotary tables, swivels, block and hook, floor motors and mud pumps. This also paid for the construction and deployment of our first rig, Forster Rig No. 15, a National 50CA (MEL Valuation $9.5 million dollars - construction costs $4.5M).

• 4th quarter 2006 - we plan to build two rigs and deploy one. We plan to finance this growth with $5M in debt and $5M in equity.

• In 2007 we plan to build seven rigs and deploy eight rigs. We intend to finance this growth with cash flow, $17M dollars in debt and $11M in equity.

• By the end of 2007, we plan to seek a listing on a senior U.S. Stock Exchange, deploy a total of ten rigs and participate with our customers in the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas.

Current Rig Demand

• Over the past decade, up to 90 percent of all wells drilled in the U.S. were drilled for natural gas.

U.S. Gas 1,325 77%U.S. Oil 307 18%U.S. Offshore 95 6%Total 1,727

Baker Hughes Rotary Rig Count

*Source September 8, 2006 Baker Hughes Weekly Count

• Growing demand for natural gas, the transition to unconventional gas (coal-bed methane and shale gas), steeper declines rates, smaller reserves per well, rapidly rising returns to operators, along with an antiquated rig fleet translates into current demand and long-term demand for rigs outpacing supply.

Natural Gas Demand by Sector

• According to the Energy Information Administration, natural gas demand is expected to increase by approximately 22% in the next decade, from a current level of 26 Tcf per year to 32 Tcf per year, with the largest increases coming from the Industrial and Electricity Generation sectors.

Natural Gas Production by Sector

• In the last decade, unconventional U.S. natural gas production has increased from 24% of total production to 41% and will continue to be the largest contributor to domestic production in the coming years.

• Unlike the global oil market, the natural gas market is limited to North and South American production, due to the logistical constraints of pipeline infrastructure and the financial constraints of shipping LNG.

Page 9: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

9Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Unconventional Natural Gas

• Unconventional Gas include: Shales, Tight Sands and Coal Bed Methane. Examples include the Barnett Shale and the San Juan Basin.

• They are typically resource plays, which have a high probability of success per well, tempered by severe initial decline rates, low total recovery and smaller reserves per well. Basically, lower risk and lower total production wells.

• The net effect is – more wells are needed to produce the same amount of gas.

Forecasted New Production

• This illustrates the additional annual production needed to offset production decline and domestic demand growth.

Page 11: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

Shale Reserves in the Lower 48

• U.S. shale production is still in its infancy and will require decades of drilling to develop.

Rig Count and Forecasted Demand

• At the beginning of the last oil boom (1973-1983), the active U.S. land based rig count was 1,100 rigs with 1,700 rigs available. By 1983, the number of active rigs had grown to 4,000 with over 5,500 rigs available.

• At the beginning of the current boom 2003, the U.S. active land rig count was 800 rigs, with 1,600 rigs available.

• Fast-forward to 2005, we are to the point where excess supply has been cannibalized, the existing rig fleet is twenty-five years old, and rig utilization is approaching 98% in many active regions of the United States.

• Raymond James estimates that there will be demand for an additional 850 rigs in the U.S. over the next five years. That represents as 50% increase over today’s rig fleet and equates to a 7% compounded annual growth rate.

• It is anticipated that the current shortfall in drilling equipment will last for up to ten years. In 1981, the available domestic rig fleet peaked at 5,530 or approximately 4,000 more rigs than are available today. At the 7% compounded growth rate it will take twenty years to reach that level again.

Drilling Economics

• Exploration and Production companies/operators pay drillers by dayrate contracts, footage contract (by the foot) or turn-key contact (negotiated payment for drilling to an agreed upon depth).

• Day rate contracts are considered the most profitable for the contract drillers and are thus preferred. Over 85% of all drilling contracts are day rate.

• Under a day rate contract the contractor is responsible for labor, insurance, rig maintenance, drill pipe, most consumables, "soap, dope and rope". The operator is responsible for rig mobilization and demobilization, drilling fluids and fuel.

• Dayrates have doubled in the past 12 months for a 12,000' gas well from 10,000 dollars per day to 20,000 dollars per day. Much of the increase can be attributed to an increase in rig utilization rates in Texas from 87 percent to 96 percent.

• As demand outstripped supply, operators were forced to bid-up dayrates to insure rig availability.

• While contractors have experienced increased labor and equipment costs over the past 12 months, much of the increase in day rates falls to the bottom line.

History

• Fred Forster, Sr. started his drilling career with Manville and Thompson Drilling (later A.W.Thompson Drilling) in the early 1920s. He worked for A.W. Thompson for over 30 years, during which he made many innovations that are standard practices today.

• Fred Forster, Jr. joined his father in 1948 and together they founded Forster Drilling in 1952, which grew to 10 rigs.

• In 1966, Forster Drilling joined with Major and Giebel Oils of Midland to form the partnership Major, Giebel and Forster (later MGF Oil). MGF grew to 55 rigs.

• In 1975 Fred Forster, Jr. Retired from MGF and was joined by his son Fred Forster III, together the organized the second Forster Drilling in 1977 and acquired 4 rigs. This Company was eventually sold to Williams Brothers.

• In 1983 the Forsters acquired Pulliam Drilling a 3 rig company that was eventually sold to Wes-Tex Drilling.

• First quarter 2005 Forster Drilling Corporation was organized pursuant to the laws of the state of Nevada with Fred Forster, Jr. as Chairman Emeritus and Fred Forster III as the Chairman and CEO. The Company is currently building a 7 rig fleet.

Contract Drilling Services

• The Company's primary focus is to provide contract onshore drilling services to companies that explore for and produce oil and natural gas ("operators").

• Drilling operations will focused in three major geographical regions: (i) The Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico (ii) The Barnett Shale Trend of North Texas (iii) The Cotton Valley/Travis Peak Trend of East Texas.

• The Company will concentrate its operations in Texas and New Mexico, where utilization rates and dayrates remain higher, due to prospect quality and higher concentrations of natural gas.

• Natural gas production is typically found deeper and generally requires bigger, better equipment & more experienced crews to exploit.

• Up to 90% of all wells drilled in the U.S. during the last 10 years have been drilled for onshore natural gas.

• The trend in drilling depths is ever deeper. The Company is currently refurbishing to "like new condition" a standardized fleet of modern, bigger, better rigs.

Forster’s Current Fleet

• The Company is standardizing its' Fleet as to Drawworks and Masts: National and Lee C. Moore. The Industry "Gold Standards".

• The Company plans to trade its' Continental EMSCO A550 for a National 55

• The Company is looking to acquire an additional National 55 and two National 80Bs to rebuild and deploy in 2007.

Manufacturing, Refurbishing and Fabricating

• The Company owns a purpose-built manufacturing facility in Odessa, Texas. The facility consists of five fenced acres, with controlled access, two 15,000sq ft "rig hangers" each with twin overhead electric cranes for heavy equipment mobilization and assembly, a stand alone engine shop, complete machine shop, sandblasting/paint booth and associated offices.

• This facility provides an all-weather environment with the necessary tools and equipment to build new rigs, refurbish/rebuild stacked rigs & major components to "like new" and make each rig field ready.

• The Company currently employs experienced machinists, mechanics and fabricators to build and/or refurbish much of each of our rig fleet in-house.

• The Company can build or rebuild a rig using rebuilt components for approximately 1/2 the cost of buying a new build.

Page 23: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

23Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Exploration and Production

• The Company's oil and natural gas exploration and production ("E&P") activities will leverage off its' contract drilling activities.

• The Companies E&P will be focused in the same geologic basins as its' contracting activities: The Permian Basin, The Ft. Worth Basin and The East Texas Basin.

• Our hands-on experience with exploration and development of trends within these basins and teaming with customers that have a proven tract record in the trend will allow management to high-grade prospects, thus lowering risks while increasing returns.

• Due to the current tight supply/high rig utilization rates in these Basins, management anticipates that the Company will be able to participate in high quality prospects with customers on an un-promoted basis.

• The Company will participate in customers prospects as a time proven method of building assets and income not dependent on service contracts.

Page 24: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

24Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Location of Drilling Operations

• The Company will offer its' contract drilling services and conduct its' oil and natural gas exploration and production activities in its' own backyard, Texas and New Mexico where rig utilization rates and day rates remain higher due to prospect quality and heavy concentrations of natural gas.

• Permian Basin West Texas Southeastern New Mexico encompasses 66,000sq miles and according to the DOE contains estimated 29 percent of the US's yet-to-be-discovered oil reserves.

• Barnett Shale Trend North Texas-Barnett Shale is a continuous, unconventional gas accumulation, a single very large gas field that encompasses 1,000s of sq. miles. Advancements in fracturing technology have enabled operators to make the Barnett Shale the regions largest gas producer.

• The Cotton Valley/Travis Peak Trend of East Texas is a continuous-type basin-center conventional gas system that encompasses 1,000s of sq miles. One of the 25 onshore provinces that USGS says contain 95 percent of the U.S. known and undiscovered gas resources. Wells drilled in the Cotton Valley are: predominately natural gas, have high probability of success, have significant development potential and repeatability.

Page 25: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

25Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Competitive Strategy

• We will concentrate our operations in our backyard, Texas and New Mexico where rig utilization rates and day rates remain higher due to prospect quality and heavy concentrations of natural gas resources.

• Natural gas is typically found deeper and natural gas exploration generally requires bigger, better equipment and more experienced crews to drill the wells.

• Rigs rated to deeper depths will demand higher dayrates and deliver wider profit margins than rigs rated to shallower depths.

• We will build bigger, better rigs.• We will standardize our fleet as to make: National Drawworks, Lee C. Moore Masts,

the industry "gold standard“.• Bigger, better rigs, a standardized fleet attracts and retains more experienced

crews. • We will maximize our rig utilization rates by:

• Making our customers stakeholders in the Company and we, in turn ,will become stakeholders in our customers oil and natural gas exploration and production projects.

• We will not build a rig without first having customer for it. • We will build the rig to the customers requirements.• We will develop in-house our own high quality exploration and development

prospects to JV with industry partners and drill them with our own equipment.• Our Competitive Strategy emphasizes working close to home, building our fleet

internally, one rig at a time as needed, building a standardized fleet of modern, bigger, better rigs, the quality and experience of our crews and the Forster 75-year history to differentiate us from our competitors.

Growth Plan – Use Of Proceeds

Page 27: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

27Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Looking Back

• In addition to the original capital contribution by Company founder, F.E. Forster III, the Company has raised approximately $5M from three equity rounds.

• Those funds were used to purchase seven drawworks, two masts, a sub, rotary tables, swivels, block & hooks, floor motors and mud pumps and the build and deployment of the Company's first rig, Forster Rig No. 15, National 50CA.

• Many of Rig 15's major components: drawworks, mast, rotary table, swivel, block and hook, floor motors and mud pumps were purchased used and rebuilt to "as new condition".

• Other major components: the substructure, mud system, water tanks, and crew quarters were fabricated in-house.

• The Company spent approximately $4.5M build the rig and purchase drill pipe. Rig 15 has been independently appraised by MEL Valuations at $9.5M.

• Rig 15 has been deployed to New Mexico pursuant to a 365 day term daywork contract at a dayrate of 16,000 with anticipated gross margins of 46%.

• The Company is currently building Forster Rig 12, a National 55. This Rig has been spoken for and will be deployed in November to the Barnett Shale.

• We have accomplished a lot with a little, just imagine what we could do if we were fully funded.

Page 28: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

Investment Considerations

• Company Management has demonstrated that it can execute. • Pure-play onshore driller.• High Growth. • Small additions to the fleet meaningful.• High Quality Assets.• Conservative Balance Sheet.• Return on investment focus. • The Company's short-term objective is to build and deploy 10 rigs.• Upon achieving this short-term goal, the Company anticipates that

then "orderly liquidation value" of the fleet would approach 110 million dollars.

• As a going concern The Company's public peer group valuation based on multiples of pro-forma, sales, earnings, cash flow and book value could approach 250 million dollars

Conclusions

Page 35: OTC BB: FODL Investor Presentation September 19, 2006

35Forster Drilling Corp., Investor PresentationOTC BB: FODL

Conclusions

• Increasing domestic demand for natural gas coupled with lower reserves per well and steeper decline rates will necessitate more wells and more rigs.

• The excess supply from past booms have been consumed and the current shortfall in drilling equipment could last for ten years. The Company has built and deployed one rig.

• The Company plans to build two rigs and deploy one 4th quarter 2006, The Company plans to build 7 rigs and deploy 8 in 2007 for a total of 10 rigs built and deployed.

• The Company's short-term objective is to build and deploy 10 rigs. Upon achieving this short-term goal, the Company anticipates that the then "orderly liquidation value" of the 10 rig fleet could approach 110 million dollars. As a going concern, the Company's peer group valuation based on multiples of pro-forma sales, earnings, cash flow and book value could approach 250 million dollars
