Beaver River Field Western Canada
Beaver River Field • Large discovered resource of several Tcf of gas in place • Land position recently doubled to over 23, 000 acres • Field already tied in and producing with infrastructure and gathering system with replacement cost over $30 million • Risk capital minimized through farm-out to Transeuro
Mattson Gas Discovery • Two commercial wells on production • Independent resource study estimates 495 Bcf – 750 Bcf of discovered resource per sq. mile - modern completion techniques and natural fracturing key to maximizing recovery • Three different fracture stimulation techniques tested – slick-water, nitrogen energized gell and emulsified CO 2 – with range of results • Work to date suggests a combination of open fractures with an emulsified CO 2 stimulation or a slick-water stimulation is most successful • Evaluating a winter work program which may include a sidetrack of B-3 well with a slickwater stimulation Stimulation on A-7 and B-3 wells
Nahanni Potential • Major well currently drilling with target of doubling company production • Amoco abandoned the field after six initial wells in Nahanni produced on average 30 Bcf/well (185 Bcf or 15% recovery); additional wells were uneconomic at $0. 25/mcf gas prices • Independent resource report by Mc. Daniel determined field has – 120 Bcf in possible reserves – 540 Bcf in resource potential – 1, 433 BCF OGIP • 12 new locations identified on reprocessed 3 -D seismic survey (10 to 45 Bcf potential per location) could add over 10, 000 boe/d net to Questerre Nahanni Horizon
Additional Prospective Horizons • Mississippian Prophet – fractured carbonate lies above Nahanni at depth of approximately 2800 m – High pressure natural gas in the Prophet responsible for blowout of Amoco A-1 well and Amoco produced 0. 5 Bcf from one well – Horizontal drilling and fracture stimulation required to assess connectivity of fractures and productive capability • Devonian shales – Organically rich black shales that have not been assessed to date • Porous Mattson zone – 10, 000 boe/d deliverability prospect on flank of structure
Outlook • Nahanni well spud this month targeting multiple zones – Mattson, Nahanni, high-pressure Mississippian Prophet and organic-rich Devonian shales • Planning multi-well winter drilling program contingent on A-8 results Precision Rig #228 drilling A-8 well
Alberta Western Canada
Vulcan, Southern Alberta • 50% interest in significant discovery in one gas and one oil pool in Vulcan • Gas pool commenced production in early 2007 at approximately 2, 000 boe/d (1, 000 boe/d net) • Infill development of oil pool delayed until waterflood developed and GPP approval received – potential to add 500, 000 to 750, 000 barrels • Aggressively pursuing farm-in opportunities and sales to further expand acreage – recently drilled two successful well with Pengrowth & Monterey
Magnus Energy Inc. Acquisition
Overview • Exciting light oil play with over 70 million barrels of oil in place - Magnus' capital constraints did not allow them to fully capitalize on this opportunity • Acquisition price of $18. 5 million net of expected adjustments – paid through 9. 09 million common shares @ $1. 04/share and $9 million in debt • Proved plus probable reserves of 851, 000 boe with NPV 10% of $17. 91 million • Tax pools of over $25 million and current production of 210 boe/d • 220 sq. km (86 sq. miles) of land seismic independently valued at over $8 million • Transaction scheduled to close in October 2007
Antler, Saskatchewan • Large land position of 220 sq km (127 net) over Torquay oil pool in southeast Saskatchewan • Torquay is one of the largest oil accumulations in Western Canada production has grown to over 12, 000 boe/d in last three years • Antler could be extension of Sinclair pool in adjacent province of Manitoba with current production of over 8, 000 boe/d • Light sweet oil (40º API) receives premium pricing - on par with WTI • Favorable fiscal terms - Crown royalty incentives of 2. 5% on first 103, 000 barrels of production from horizontal wells Magnus land holdings in SE Saskatchewan
Antler, Saskatchewan • Horizontal wells and new completion techniques proven to work • Independent reservoir engineer estimates recovery at 111, 000 gross bbls per horizontal well on a proven plus probable basis • 30 infill drilling locations identified • Land base has over 400 drilling spacing units to be evaluated Magnus land holdings proximal to producing Torquay/Bakken pools
St. Lawrence Lowlands Eastern Canada
St. Lawrence Lowlands • • One million gross acres with multiple prospective horizons has multi-tcf potential Recent discovery by Questerre and its partner Talisman opens up the Trenton Black-River play in Quebec Talisman is North America’s leading expert in the Trenton Black-River play Forest Oil participated in two Utica shale gas wells on Questerre acreage Talisman Michigan Basin Talisman/Questerre St. Lawrence Lowlands Basin Talisman Appalachian Basin
Minimizing Capital Exposure • Talisman has the right to drill up to four wells to earn a 75% interest in 700, 000 acres - Questerre will retain a 21¼% working interest in the land receive a 4¼% royalty equating to a 30% economic take • Forest Oil and Gastem committed to spend $3 million with option to spend a further $10 million Questerre retains a 20% working interest in the Yamaska permits covering 100, 000 acres • Questerre operates and is a 50% partner in the St. Jean permits covering 200, 000 acres Secondary target Utica Shales Primary target Trenton-Black River Dolomite Prospect Potential
Favorable Fiscal Terms • Realized natural gas prices in Quebec are at a $0. 25 premium to NYMEX due to proximity to markets • Crown royalties of 12. 5% compared to 30% in Alberta • Estimated operating netbacks based on $7 NYMEX: – Quebec : $6. 71/mcf or $40. 26/boe – Alberta : $4. 15/mcf or $24. 40/boe Pipeline infrastructure in Lowlands
Outlook • Gentilly #1 discovery well approximately ½ mmcf/d - will likely require additional successful horizontal wells to be commercial • Talisman currently shooting new seismic this fall with the objective to set up two new drilling locations in 2008 • Questerre acquired high resolution aeromag this winter and is purchasing seismic data over nearby St. Jean permits • Results expected from shale gas wells on Yamaska permits this fall Testing of Gentilly #1 Discovery well
Outlook • Beaver River Field, Western Canada – Nahanni well to be completed prior to year end, testing in early 2008 – Planning for multi-well winter work program targeting multiple horizons • St. Lawrence Lowlands, Eastern Canada – Talisman to complete seismic acquisition this fall, expect new well to spud in early 2008 – Yamaska wells to be completed with results expected in fourth quarter 2007 – Interpret high-resolution aeromag over St. Jean in advance of 2008 new drill • Antler, Central Canada – Conclude corporate acquisition in fourth quarter of 2007 – Commence horizontal drilling program prior to year-end • Vulcan, Western Canada – Participate in additional exploration in Vulcan through farm-ins and acquisitions – Drill infill wells in the Vulcan oil pool in early 2008 • Corporate – Base exit production target for 2007 of 2, 200 boe/d under review due to B-3 results less than expected – 200 -300 boe/d difference – Production with new Nahanni well still expected to be over 3, 000 boe/d in 1 Q 2008 – Relationship with secured debtors of Magnus leading to further acquisition opportunities
Investment Case • Large scale exploitation project in Northern Canada Strong • Base of conventional production in Southern Alberta well balanced • Significant light oil development in Saskatchewan portfolio • Big E exploration in Quebec • Exposure to multiple opportunities to find big gas in big markets - high Large growth impact well at Beaver River underway potential with • High leverage through partner risk capital and expertise mitigated risk • Incremental growth in lower risk conventional asset base • Fundamentals of long term gas market in North America are strong Changing • Oslo Stock Exchange broadens investor base interested in high impact gas markets exploration and exploitation throughout the world creating opportunities • Canadian frontier provides better risk reward ratios relative to developing nations and off shore opportunities • Past experience founding, financing, and managing successful international and domestic exploration and production companies Experienced • Proven determination and commitment to overcome obstacles to success management • Specific expertise with non conventional reservoirs • Ideas have been validated by partners’ due diligence
