Barrel of Oil Equivalent: Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") is, natural gas volumes have been converted to BOE at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. This conversion ratio is based upon an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. Boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

Reserve Information: The aforementioned reserves information is based on an independent engineering evaluation report prepared by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. effective December 31, 2009.
