Disclaimers & Advisories

This presentation may contain forward looking information. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information. In this presentation, production is stated in barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) using a six to one conversion basis when converting thousands of cubic feet of natural gas to barrels of oil and a one to one conversion basis for natural gas liquids. Such conversion may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A 6:1 conversion ratio is based on energy equivalence between natural gas and oil at the burner tip and does not represent economic equivalence at the wellhead or point of sale. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserves additions for that year.

…Targeting material, sustainable corporate growth.

  • Resource plays have high

OGIP/OOIP

  • > 4 mmbbls/section OOIP or

25 bcf/section GIP

  • Either with stacked pay sections or

thick single zones

  • Long life reserves
  • Production profiles demonstrate

harmonic decline

  • Target horizons are repeatable

and have large scope

  • Minimize the risk of encountering

water

  • Conventional or unconventional
  • Initial well to de-risk play

40% to 60% chance of success

TVE’s Approach to Risk Management

  • Disciplined risk management
  • Fundamental to decision making process at TVE
  • Formalized economic and operational modelling process
  • Diversified resource plays
  • Assemble a base of 4 plays with an initial 40% to 60% chance of success
  • Any one play will have the scope and quality to provide significant growth
  • When possible position and allow competitors to de-risk for us
  • Establish critical mass
  • Get production momentum and stability to avoid living well by well

…Risk management is a key attribute of successful junior companies.
