Crescent Point Announces 2023 Results & Reserves
CALGARY, AB, Feb. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - Crescent Point
Energy Corp. ("Crescent Point" or the "Company") (TSX: CPG) (NYSE: CPG) is pleased to announce its operating and financial
results for the year ended December 31, 2023.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
| • | Transformed portfolio, increasing premium inventory to over
20 years and enhancing excess cash flow profile. |
| • | Replaced over 900 percent of 2023 production on a 2P reserves
basis including strategic A&D, or 150 percent organically. |
| • | Generated $980 million of excess cash flow in 2023, with
capital expenditures and production in-line with guidance. |
| • | Returned approximately $600 million, or 60 percent of excess
cash flow, to shareholders in 2023. |
| • | Increasing quarterly base dividend by 15 percent to $0.115
per share, or $0.46 per share annually. |
| • | Generated a strong FD&A recycle ratio of 2.5 times in
2023, including change in FDC, based on 2P reserves. |
| • | Excess cash flow of $830 million expected in 2024 at US$75
WTI, with 60 percent returned to shareholders. |
| • | Five-year plan expected to generate strong per share growth
and cumulative excess cash flow of $4.7 billion at US$70 WTI. |
"This past year was pivotal in our company's
history as we successfully transformed our portfolio," said Craig Bryksa, President and CEO of Crescent Point. "Through this
execution, we have materially enhanced the long-term sustainability of our business, including by increasing our premium drilling inventory
to over 20 years and enhancing our excess cash flow profile on a per share basis. Our strategic priorities going forward are operational
execution, balance sheet strength and increasing return of capital to shareholders."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
| • | Adjusted funds flow totaled over $2.3 billion for the year
ended December 31, 2023, or $4.27 per share diluted, driven by a strong operating netback of $43.71 per boe. In fourth quarter, adjusted
funds flow totaled $574.5 million, or $1.03 per share diluted. |
| • | For the year ended December 31, 2023, development capital
expenditures, which included drilling and development, facilities and seismic costs, totaled $1.14 billion, within the Company's annual
guidance range of $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion. |
| • | The Company's net debt as at December 31, 2023 was approximately
$3.7 billion. Throughout 2023, Crescent Point executed on its portfolio strategy which included material additions in the Alberta Montney
along with non-core asset dispositions. During fourth quarter 2023, Crescent Point entered into agreements to dispose of its Swan Hills
and Turner Valley assets in Alberta, which have closed or are expected to close in first quarter 2024. |
| • | For the year ended December 31, 2023, Crescent Point reported
net income from continuing operations of $799.4 million, or $1.46 per share diluted. The Company's total net income for 2023, including
discontinued operations, was $570.3 million, or $1.04 per share diluted, which included net non-cash charges of $106.7 million related
to the disposition of its U.S. assets. |
| • | The Company has hedged approximately 45 percent of its oil
and liquids production and over 30 percent of its natural gas production in 2024, net of royalty interest. The Company has also diversified
its pricing exposure for natural gas, with the majority of its production through 2025 receiving a combination of fixed prices and pricing
related to major U.S. markets. |
RETURN OF CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS
| • | The Company's total return of capital to shareholders in
2023, including the base dividend, was $599.5 million, or approximately 60 percent of its annual excess cash flow. |
| • | During fourth quarter, Crescent Point prioritized share buybacks
within its return of capital framework, repurchasing 8.4 million shares for $83.8 million. The Company repurchased a total of 34.6 million
shares for $349.9 million in 2023, representing over six percent of its public float at the start of the year. Crescent Point intends
to file with the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") a notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"),
which is due to expire on March 8, 2024. |
| • | Crescent Point's Board of Directors has approved and declared
a first quarter 2024 base dividend of $0.115 per share, an increase of 15 percent from the prior level. The base dividend is payable on
April 1, 2024 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2024. This base dividend increase equates to an annualized base dividend of $0.46
per share. |
Adjusted funds flow, adjusted funds flow per share diluted, excess cash flow, recycle ratio, total return of capital and net debt are specified financial measures - refer to the Specified Financial Measures section in this press release for further information. All financial figures are approximate and in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. This press release contains forward-looking information and references to specified financial measures. Significant related assumptions and risk factors, and reconciliations are described under the Specified Financial Measures, Forward-Looking Statements and Reserves and Drilling Data sections of this press release, respectively. Further information breaking down the production information contained in this press release by product type can be found in the "Product Type Production Information" section of this press release. |
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
| • | Achieved annual average production of 159,411 boe/d in 2023,
within the Company's annual production guidance range of 156,000 to 161,000 boe/d, notwithstanding the downtime associated with the Alberta
wildfires earlier in the year. Crescent Point's average production in fourth quarter 2023 was 162,269 boe/d. |
| • | In the Kaybob Duvernay, the Company delivered consistent
results throughout 2023, demonstrating the strength of its operational execution. Crescent Point brought on stream over 20 wells during
the year through four multi-well pads. These pads generated average peak 30-day rates ranging from 1,000 boe/d to 1,550 boe/d (75% to
85% liquids) per well within the Volatile Oil window and 1,425 boe/d (60% liquids) per well in the Liquids-Rich window. During fourth
quarter, Crescent Point added a second rig in the Kaybob Duvernay to accelerate the development of its high-return inventory. |
| • | Crescent Point has also continued to achieve strong operational
momentum in the Alberta Montney since its initial entry into the play in second quarter 2023. The Company brought on stream over 25 wells
during the remainder of the year through nine multi-well pads. These pads generated average peak 30-day rates ranging from 1,200 boe/d
to 2,000 boe/d (70% to 85% liquids) per well in Gold Creek West, 1,000 boe/d to 1,350 boe/d (45% to 75% liquids) per well in Gold Creek
and 775 boe/d (85% liquids) per well in Karr East. |
| • | Crescent Point's open hole multi-lateral ("OHML")
well development program in southeast Saskatchewan included nine eight-leg wells during 2023. The Company's most recent OHML well achieved
a peak-30 day rate of over 300 bbl/d (100% light oil), further highlighting the strong drilling economics of this program. Crescent Point
also continued to advance its decline mitigation initiatives in 2023, including by successfully converting approximately 100 producing
wells to water injection wells. These initiatives support the Company's low base decline rate of approximately 15 percent in its Saskatchewan
assets, further enhancing its strong excess cash flow generation from these assets. |
| • | In 2023, Crescent Point achieved the best safety scores in
the Company's history, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to safe operations. |
| • | During 2023, Crescent Point continued to demonstrate its
commitment to strong environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices as it progresses toward each of its environmental
targets, including reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity, surface freshwater use and inactive well inventory. The Company remains
on track to meet or exceed each of these environmental targets. Crescent Point has significantly improved its environmental profile, reducing
both its Scope 1 emissions intensity and asset retirement liabilities by approximately 60 percent since beginning its portfolio transformation. |
RESERVES HIGHLIGHTS
"Our 2023 reserves highlight the benefits of
our strategic portfolio transformation and our technical team's strong ongoing operational execution," said Bryksa. "We organically
replaced 150 percent of our 2023 annual production on a proved plus probable basis, primarily driven by drilling and development activity
in the Kaybob Duvernay. In 2024, we see opportunities to further enhance shareholder value by realizing potential cost efficiencies and
productivity enhancements. At year-end 2023, over 70 percent of our premium locations in the Alberta Montney and approximately 60 percent
in the Kaybob Duvernay remain unbooked, allowing for future reserves growth."
| • | The Company's reserves at year-end 2023 increased across
all categories driven by organic additions and strategic acquisitions, net of non-core dispositions. Proved plus Probable ("2P")
reserves totaled 1,201.3 million boe ("MMboe"), Proved ("1P") reserves totaled 768.3 MMboe and Proved Developed Producing
("PDP") reserves totaled 381.1 MMboe. |
| • | The Company's 2P reserve life index ("RLI") is
approximately 16 years based on mid-point of 2024 annual average production guidance. |
| • | Crescent Point achieved net reserve additions of 88.7 MMboe
on a 2P basis, excluding acquisitions and dispositions ("A&D"), replacing approximately 150 percent of its 2023 annual production.
These reserve additions primarily originated from the Company's Kaybob Duvernay asset, which contributed reserve adds at an attractive
finding and development ("F&D") cost, including change in future development capital ("FDC"), of approximately
$13.50 per boe. These Kaybob Duvernay reserve additions resulted in a strong recycle ratio of over 3.0 times. |
| • | Reserve additions within Crescent Point's Alberta Montney
asset are captured under the Company's acquired reserves, given the timing of its initial entry into the play in second quarter 2023.
Including strategic acquisitions, net of dispositions, Crescent Point added 457.7 MMboe of 2P reserves. This addition contributed to the
significant increase in 2P reserves in 2023 of approximately 70 percent and replaced over 900 percent of the Company's 2023 annual production. |
| • | Crescent Point generated 2P finding, development and acquisition
("FD&A") cost, including change in FDC, of $17.70 per boe, producing a recycle ratio of 2.5 times based on an operating
netback of $43.71 per boe in 2023. |
| • | Crescent Point's 2P net asset value ("NAV") was
$22.45 per share at year-end 2023, based on independent engineering pricing. On a PDP and 1P basis, the Company's NAV was $7.63 and $14.07
per share, respectively. The independent engineering price forecast assumes an average WTI price of approximately US$76.35/bbl and AECO
price of approximately $3.60/Mcf in the first five years. The Company's NAV at year-end 2023 does not include unbooked locations, primarily
in the Kaybob Duvernay and Alberta Montney, allowing for future reserves additions. |
Additional information on the Company's 2023 reserves
is provided in its Annual Information Form ("AIF") for the year-ended December 31, 2023.
OUTLOOK
Crescent Point's strategic priorities remain focused
on operational execution, balance sheet strength and increasing return of capital to shareholders.
The Company's previously released 2024 annual average
production guidance of 198,000 to 206,000 boe/d and development capital expenditures budget of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion remain unchanged.
This budget remains disciplined and flexible, with a continued focus on allocating capital to the highest-return assets. Approximately
45 percent of Crescent Point's 2024 budget is allocated to the Alberta Montney, 35 percent to Kaybob Duvernay and 20 percent to Saskatchewan.
The Company's 2024 capital budget, including its base dividend, remains fully funded at approximately US$55/bbl WTI.
Within its operations, Crescent Point continues to
target additional efficiencies and improved productivity by further enhancing drilling and completions optimization, including optimizing
wells drilled per section on its recently acquired Alberta Montney assets and drilling longer lateral wells in the Kaybob Duvernay. In
Saskatchewan, the Company continues to build on its operational momentum through the advancement of its OHML drilling and decline mitigation
programs.
Crescent Point's 2024 budget is expected to generate
significant excess cash flow of approximately $830 million at average commodity prices of approximately US$75/bbl WTI and $2.30/Mcf AECO
for the full year. The Company's funds flow sensitivity is approximately $30 million for every US$1/bbl change in WTI and $20 million
for every $0.25/Mcf change in AECO for the remainder of the year.
Crescent Point plans to continue allocating 60 percent
of its excess cash flow to shareholders through the base dividend and share repurchases, with the remaining 40 percent directed toward
the balance sheet. The Company's leverage ratio, or net debt to adjusted funds flow, is expected to be approximately 1.2 times by year-end
2024, based on average commodity prices of approximately US$75/bbl WTI and $2.30/Mcf AECO for the full year.
The Company plans to increase the percentage of excess
cash flow it returns to shareholders over time as it further strengthens its balance sheet. Crescent Point's strategy is focused on delivering
meaningful and sustainable total returns through a combination of return of capital, per-share growth and balance sheet strength.

Notice to US Readers
The oil and natural gas reserves contained in this
press release have generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects
of United States or other foreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
generally permits oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves (as defined in SEC rules), but
permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserves" and "possible reserves" (each as defined in SEC rules). Canadian
securities laws require oil and gas issuers, in their filings with Canadian securities regulators, to disclose not only proved reserves
(which are defined differently from the SEC rules) but also probable reserves and permits optional disclosure of "possible reserves",
each as defined in NI 51-101. Accordingly, "proved reserves", "probable reserves" and "possible reserves"
disclosed in this news release may not be comparable to US standards, and in this news release, Crescent Point has disclosed reserves
designated as "proved plus probable reserves". Probable reserves are higher-risk and are generally believed to be less likely
to be accurately estimated or recovered than proved reserves. "Possible reserves" are higher risk than "probable reserves"
and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than "probable reserves". In addition,
under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes
prior to deduction of royalties and similar payments. The SEC rules require reserves and production to be presented using net volumes,
after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Moreover, Crescent Point has determined and disclosed estimated future net
revenue from its reserves using forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC rules require that reserves be estimated using a 12-month average
price, calculated as the arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the
end of the reporting period. Consequently, Crescent Point's reserve estimates and production volumes in this news release may not
be comparable to those made by companies using United States reporting and disclosure standards. Further, the SEC rules are based on unescalated
costs and forecasts.
All amounts in the news release are stated in Canadian
dollars unless otherwise specified.
Forward-Looking Statements
Any "financial outlook" or "future
oriented financial information" in this press release, as defined by applicable securities legislation has been approved by management
of Crescent Point. Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information
about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may
not be appropriate for other purposes.
Certain statements contained in this press release
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and "forward-looking information" for the purposes of Canadian securities regulation (collectively,
"forward-looking statements"). The Company has tried to identify such forward-looking statements by use of such words as "could",
"should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may",
"intend", "projected", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "potential", "projects",
"grow", "take advantage", "estimate", "well-positioned" and other similar expressions, but these
words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
In particular, this press release contains forward-looking
statements pertaining, among other things, to the following: premium inventory of over 20 years and enhanced excess cash flow profile;
dividend expectations; excess cash flow of $830 million expected in 2024 at US$75 WTI, with 60 percent returned to shareholders; five-year
plan expected to generate strong per share growth and cumulative excess cash flow of $4.7 billion at US$70 WTI; enhanced the long-term
sustainability and excess cash flow per share; strategic priorities; the extent and benefits of hedging; diversified pricing exposure
for natural gas; dividend expectations; timing for the closing of the sale of Swan Hills and Turner Valley assets; acceleration of high-return
inventory in the Kaybob Duvernay; strong drilling economics of the OHML program; low base decline rate of approximately 15 percent in
its Saskatchewan assets, further enhancing its strong excess cash flow generation from these assets; opportunities to further enhance
shareholder value by realizing potential cost efficiencies and productivity enhancements; unbooked locations and future NAV and reserves
growth; reserves life index; 2P NAV; the budget remains disciplined and flexible, with a continued focus on allocating capital to the
highest-return assets; 2024 budget allocation by area; 2024 budget, including base dividend, remains fully funded at approximately US$55/bbl
WTI; additional efficiencies and improved productivity by further enhancing drilling and completions optimization, including optimizing
wells drilled per section on Alberta Montney assets and drilling longer lateral wells in the Kaybob Duvernay; advancement of OHML drilling

Statements relating to "reserves" are also
deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the
reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Actual
reserve values may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
Unless otherwise noted, reserves referenced herein
are given as at December 31, 2023. Also, estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same
confidence level as estimates and future net revenue for all properties due to the effect of aggregation. All required reserve information
for the Company is contained in its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is accessible at www.sedarplus.ca.
With respect to disclosure contained herein regarding
resources other than reserves, there is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources and there
is significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate recoverability of such resources.
All forward-looking statements are based on Crescent
Point's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point believes that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct
and such forward-looking statements included in this report should not be unduly relied upon. By their nature, such forward-looking statements
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially
from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in the Company's Annual Information
Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 under "Risk Factors" and our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended
December 31, 2023, under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information". The material assumptions are
disclosed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the headings "Overview", "Commodity
Derivatives", "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Guidance". In addition, risk factors include: financial
risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given market conditions; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas, decisions
or actions of OPEC and non-OPEC countries in respect of supplies of oil and gas; delays in business operations or delivery of services
due to pipeline restrictions, rail blockades, outbreaks, pandemics, and blowouts; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental
impact; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations
and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; risks and
uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations on Indigenous lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at
a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties;
increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability
of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the value and likelihood of acquisitions and dispositions, and exploration
and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction, processing and transportation problems; the impacts
of drought, wildfires and severe weather events; availability of insurance; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock
market volatility; general economic, market and business conditions, including uncertainty in the demand for oil and gas and economic
activity in general; changes in interest rates and inflation; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; geopolitical conflicts,
including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas; uncertainty of government policy changes; the impact
of the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement; uncertainty regarding the benefits and costs of dispositions; failure
to complete acquisitions and dispositions; uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk; and changes in
income tax laws, tax laws, crown royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry; and other factors, many of
which are outside the control of the Company. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement
is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and Crescent Point's future course of action depends on management's assessment
of all information available at the relevant time.
Included in this presentation are Crescent Point's

NI 51-101 includes condensate within the natural gas
liquids (NGLs) product type. The Company has disclosed condensate as combined with crude oil and/or separately from other natural gas
liquids in this press release since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher
and the Company believes that this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results
therefore.
DEFINITIONS
Decline rate is the reduction in rate
of production from one period to the next. This rate is usually expressed on an annual basis.
Finding and development (F&D) costs are
calculated by dividing the development capital expenditures by the applicable reserves additions. F&D costs can include or exclude
changes to future development capital costs.
Finding, development and acquisition costs (FD&A) are
equivalent to F&D costs plus the costs of acquiring and disposing particular assets.
Future development capital (FDC) reflects the
best estimate of the cost required to bring undeveloped proved and probable reserves on production. Changes in FDC can result from acquisition
and disposition activities, development plans or changes in capital efficiencies due to inflation or reductions in service costs and/or
improvements to drilling and completion methods.
Net asset value (NAV), 2P NAV, 1P NAV or PDP NAV
is a snapshot in time as at year-end, and is based on the Company's reserves evaluated using the independent evaluators forecast for
future prices, costs and foreign exchange rates. The Company's NAV is calculated on a before tax basis and is the sum of the present value
of proved and probable reserves, proved reserves or proved developed producing reserves, respectively, based on three evaluators' average
(McDaniel, GLJ Ltd. and Sproule Associates Ltd.) December 31, 2023 escalated price forecast, the fair value for the Company's oil and
gas hedges based on such December 31, 2023 escalated price forecast, the value of undeveloped land and seismic, and less outstanding net
debt. The NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis and a discount of 10 percent.
N1 51-101 means "National Instrument
51-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities".
Recycle Ratio is calculated as operating
netback divided by F&D or FD&A and is based on the netbacks reported above.
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities
of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the
analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions,
which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Proved reserves are reserves estimated to have a high degree of certainty of recoverability.
Probable reserves are less certain to be recoverable than proved reserves and possible reserves are less certain than probable reserves.
Reserve Life Index is calculated as proved
plus probable reserves divided by production.
Reserves and Drilling Data
The reserves information contained in this press
release has been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101.
Where applicable, a barrels of oil equivalent ("boe")
conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6mcf:1bbl) has been used based on an energy
equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil
as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion
ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
Initial production is for a limited time frame only
(30 days) and may not be indicative of future performance. Peak IP30 refers to the 30 consecutive days with the highest production rates
since a well has come on production and may not be indicative of future performance. For additional product type information for our major
operating areas, refer to our Reserves Report. Booked type well data was audited by independent reserves evaluator, McDaniel, effective
December 31, 2023.
This press release contains metrics commonly used
in the oil and natural gas industry, including "netbacks", "F&D costs", "FD&A costs", "FDC",
"NAV", "recycle ratio", "replacement rate" and "reserve life index". These terms do not have a
standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and, therefore, should not be used to
make such comparisons. Readers are cautioned as to the reliability of oil and gas metrics used in this press release.
F&D costs, including change in FDC, and FD&A
costs have been presented in this news release because they provide a useful measure of capital efficiency. F&D costs and FD&A
costs, including land, facility and seismic expenditures and excluding change in FDC have also been presented in this news release because
they provide a useful measure of capital efficiency.
Management uses recycle ratio for its own performance
measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Company's performance over time.
NAV is an estimate of the value of the Company's net
assets.
Netback is calculated on a per boe basis as oil and
gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses and realized derivative gains and losses. Netback is used by management
to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.
Replacement rate is the amount of oil added to the
Company's 2P reserves, divided by production. It is a measure of the ability of the Company to sustain production levels.
Reserve Life Index is calculated as set forth above,
it is a measure of the longevity of the Company's reserves.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
quantities of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated
cash flow information set forth above are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil, natural gas and
NGLs reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical
production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability
of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which
may vary materially. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves attributable
to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues
associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. The Company's actual
production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from estimates thereof and
such variations could be material.
Individual properties may not reflect the same confidence
level as estimates of reserves for all properties due to the effects of aggregation. This press release contains estimates of the
net present value of the Company's future net revenue from our reserves. Such amounts do not represent the fair market value of our reserves.
The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated
reserves will be recovered.
This presentation references more than 20 years of
premium locations in corporate inventory, which amount includes over 4,000 booked and unbooked locations. Unbooked future drilling locations
are not associated with any reserves or contingent resources and have been identified by the Company and have not been audited by independent
qualified reserves evaluators. The over 4,000 premium locations consist of: (A) approximately 1,950 Kaybob Duvernay and Alberta Montney
premium locations, of which 596 are proved plus probable locations, as assigned in the company's year end 2023 independent reserves evaluation
in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook, and an incremental 1,357 are unbooked locations and (B) over 2,000 Saskatchewan premium
locations, of which 1,189 are proved plus probable locations, as assigned in the company's year end 2023 independent reserves evaluation
in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook; and an incremental 882 are unbooked locations.
The peak 30-day rates for the 20 wells brought on
stream in the Kaybob Duvernay in 2023 ranging consisted of average product types of 74% condensate, 9% NGLs and 17% shale gas within the
Volatile Oil window and 43% condensate, 18% NGLs and 39% shale gas within the Liquids-Rich window.
The average peak 30-day rates for the 25 wells brought
on stream in the Alberta Montney since initial entry into the play in second quarter 2023 generated the following average product types:
72% light and medium crude oil, 4% NGLs and 24% shale gas per well in Gold Creek West; 52% light and medium crude oil, 9% NGLs and 39%
shale gas per well in Gold Creek and 82% light and medium crude oil, 3% NGLs and 15% shale gas per well in Karr East.
The Company's most recent OHML achieved a peak-30
day rate of over 300 bbl/d (100% light and medium crude oil).
The reserve data provided in this news release presents
only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101. All of the required information will be contained in the Company's
Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, which will be filed on SEDAR+ (accessible at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR
(accessible at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml) on or before February 29, 2024 and further supplemented by Material Change Reports as applicable.
