Forward Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Presentation include statements which contain words such as “anticipate”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “seek”, “may”, “intend”, “likely”, “will”, “believe” and similar expressions, statements relating to matters that are not historical facts, and such statements of our beliefs, intentions and expectations about development, results and events which will or may occur in the future, constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and are based on certain assumptions and analysis made by us derived from our experience and

  • perceptions. Forward-looking information in this Presentation includes, but is not limited to: expected cash provided by continuing operations; future capital

expenditures, including the amount and nature thereof; oil and natural gas prices and demand; expansion and other development trends of the oil and gas industry; business strategy and outlook; expansion and growth of our combined business and operations; and maintenance of existing supplier and partner relationships; supply channels; accounting policies; credit risks; and other such matters. Forward-looking information in this Presentation also includes, but is not limited to, the timing and amount of future dividend payments by Bonterra. All such forward-looking information is based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. The risks, uncertainties, and assumptions are difficult to predict and may affect operations, and may include, without limitation: foreign exchange fluctuations; equipment and labour shortages and inflationary costs; general economic conditions; industry conditions; changes in applicable environmental, taxation and other laws and regulations as well as how such laws and regulations are interpreted and enforced; the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise capital; the effect of weather conditions on operations and facilities; the existence of operating risks; volatility of oil and natural gas prices; oil and gas product supply and demand; risks inherent in the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations; increased competition; stock market volatility;

  • pportunities available to or pursued by us; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The foregoing factors are not exhaustive.

Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits will be derived there from. Except as required by law, Bonterra disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The term barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All BOE conversions in the report are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet

  • f gas to one barrel of oil.

The forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Forward Looking Information

DRILLING LOCATIONS: This presentation discloses drilling locations in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations, which are sometimes collectively referred to as “booked locations”, are derived from the Company’s most recent independent reserves evaluation as prepared by Sproule as of December 31, 2018 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the Company’s prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Of the 700+ Net drilling locations identified herein, 294 are net proved locations, 4 are net probable locations and 400+ are net unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have specifically been identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, and engineering, production and reserves data on prospective acreage and geologic formations. There is no certainty that we will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The locations that Bonterra drills will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been derisked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, the majority of other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.

As debt is reduced, focus on generating long-term, sustainable value Excess free cash flow will be directed to reduce

  • verall debt; with lower leverage, assess

increases to the capital budget Low corporate decline rate ensures minimal capital required to sustain production, which supports maximizing free cash flow

Bonterra’s focus will remain on generating strong, sustainable free cash flow which can be directed to debt reduction and capital spending when supported by commodity prices

Responding to the Current Environment

COVID-19, oil price collapse, and uncertain future required Bonterra to pivot quickly, positioning to weather the storm while maintaining our commitment to our stakeholders

  • Balancing people and culture with cost saving initiatives reduces G&A by ~$225,000/month
  • Responsible cost structure with lean organization; only averaged 38 full time employees each of the last 8 years
  • Implementation of modified work weeks and adjusted compensation.
  • Applied for Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy - subsidy of 75% of employee’s wages (to max of $847 / employee

/ week) until August 31, 2020.

  • Optimizing operations and reducing costs
  • Reduced lease costs.
  • Reduced OPEX of ~ $1.5 million per month resulting mainly from shut-in production decisions.
  • Utilizing oilfield service contractors to access AB Government Site Rehabilitation Program for well abandonment

program

  • Plan to pursue federal credit support backstops through Economic Development Canada and

Business Development Bank of Canada

  • The Companies CEO temporary reduced the interest rate from 5.5% to 3.0% on his $12 Million

loan to the company; equates to monthly savings of $26,000

  • Low corporate decline of approximately 21% supports minimal maintenance capital requirements

~$1.75 million per month forecast savings

Detailed Engineering Review – Dec 31, 2019

Strong reserves with long-term production runway potential

  • Total Proved reserves on a fully diluted per share basis to 2.44 BOE per share compared to 2.42

BOE per share from the prior year

  • Increased total proved reserves by 0.9 million BOE to 81.5 million BOE (67% oil and liquids),

total P+P reserves were maintained at 101.1 million BOE

  • Total proved reserves represent 81% of total P+P reserves, which translates to a lower risk

reserves base

  • NPV 10% proved producing - $586.4 million; NPV 10% total proved - $961.9 million
  • Growth in proved reserves before production of 5.4 million BOE resulted in production

replacement of 120 percent

  • Only 43% of identified Cardium undrilled well locations included in the reserve evaluation,

providing meaningful long-term running room

Low risk asset base (80% total proved) supports P+P growth under a disciplined capital plan due to the predictable and reliable nature of the Cardium
