Forward-looking Information Certain information regarding Touchstone set forth in this presentation, including assessments by the Company’s Management of the Company’s plans and future

  • perations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of

historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and other similar expressions. Statements relating to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated, and can be profitably produced in the future. Such statements represent the Company’s internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning future growth, results of

  • perations based on information currently available to the Company based on assumptions that are subject to change and are beyond the Company’s control, such

as: production rates and production decline rates, the magnitude of and ability to recover oil and gas reserves, plans for and results of drilling activity, well abandonment costs, the ability to secure necessary personnel, equipment, production licenses and services, environmental matters, future commodity prices, changes to prevailing regulatory, royalty, tax and environmental laws and regulations, the impact of competition, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), future financing sources and business prospects and opportunities, among other things. Many factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements and information involve significant risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual future results or anticipated events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements or information and, accordingly, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Company's operational strategy, including targeted jurisdictions and technologies used to execute its strategy; the Company’s future dividend policy; crude oil production levels; the quantity of the Company’s reserves; drilling and recompletion plans and the anticipated timing thereof; future capital expenditures, the timing thereof and the method of funding; activities to be undertaken in various areas and timing thereof; treatment under governmental regulatory regimes and tax laws; the Company's future sources of liquidity; the Company’s future compliance with its term loan covenants; and estimated amounts for the Company's decommissioning obligations. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from that expressed in, or implied by any forward-looking statements or information in this presentation, and accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements or information. Further, any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Touchstone undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information to reflect information, events, results, circumstances or otherwise after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the

  • ccurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law, including securities laws. All forward-looking statements and information contained in this

presentation are qualified by such cautionary statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on Touchstone's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

We strive to minimize the environmental impacts of our

practices. We are the first oil company in Trinidad to have a water disposal well. Reinjection began on March 22, 2018 allowing us to reinject all of the water that we produce from the Fyzabad and surrounding Blocks back into the ground rather than releasing at surface. In 2017 at the Health, Safety and Environment Forum hosted by Petrotrin, the Company was awarded two awards. Touchstone placed first in Leadership Engagement in HSE Management for Large Companies and placed second for the Gathering Stations HSE Compliance award.

This presentation and the information contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States. The securities of Touchstone Exploration Inc. have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Business Risks The Company is exposed to numerous operational, technical, financial and regulatory risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control and may significantly affect anticipated future results. The Company is exposed to risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities. Operations may be unsuccessful or delayed as a result of competition for services, supplies and equipment, mechanical and technical difficulties, ability to attract and retain qualified employees on a cost-effective basis, commodity and marketing risk. The Company is subject to significant drilling risks and uncertainties including the ability to find oil reserves on an economic basis and the potential for technical problems that could lead to well blow-outs and environmental damage. The Company is exposed to risks relating to the inability to obtain timely regulatory approvals, surface access, access to third party gathering and processing facilities, transportation and other third party related operation risks. The Company is subject to 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. There are uncertainties in estimating the Company’s reserve base due to the complexities in estimated future production, costs and timing of expenses and future

  • capital. The Company is subject to the risk that it will not be able to fulfill the contractual obligations required to retain its rights to explore, develop and exploit any
  • f its properties. The financial risks the Company is exposed to include, but are not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions in Canada and Trinidad,

continued volatility in market prices for oil, the impact of significant declines in market prices for oil, the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws, royalties and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry, fluctuations in interest rates, the Canadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate and the Canadian dollar to Trinidad and Tobago dollar exchange rate. The Company is subject to local regulatory legislation, the compliance with which may require significant expenditures and non-compliance with which may result in fines, penalties or production restrictions or the termination of license, lease operating or farm-in rights related to the Company’s oil and gas interests in Trinidad.

Oil and Gas Reserves The reserves information summarized in this presentation are from the Company’s December 31, 2017 independent reserve report prepared by Touchstone’s independent reserves evaluator, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (“GLJ”), dated March 7, 2018, as well as the Company’s prior period reports, as individually noted in this presentation. Each of these reports were prepared in accordance with definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). All December 31, 2017 reserves presented are based on GLJ’s forecast pricing dated January 1, 2018 and estimated costs effective December 31, 2017. Additional reserves information as required under NI 51-101 are included in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2018. The estimated future net revenue figures contained in this presentation do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast price and costs assumptions contained in the Company’s reserves evaluation will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and reserves estimates of crude oil provided herein are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. The reserves evaluator forecasts reserve volumes and future cash flows based upon current and historical well performance through to the economic production limit of individual wells. Notwithstanding established precedence and contractual

  • ptions for the continuation and renewal of the Company’s existing operating agreements, in many cases the forecast economic limit of individual wells are beyond

the current term of the relevant operating agreements. There is no certainty as to any renewal of the Company’s existing operating arrangements. Oil and Gas Metrics This presentation may contain certain oil and gas metrics that are commonly used in the oil and gas industry such as finding and development costs, reserves additions, reserve replacement ratio, reserve life index and recycle ratio. These metrics do not have standardized meanings or standardized methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company, and future performance may not compare to the performance in prior periods and therefore such metrics should not be unduly relied upon. The Company uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Company’s operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this presentation, should not be relied upon for investment purposes. Finding and development costs are the sum of capital expenditures excluding capitalized general and administrative costs and corporate capital expenditures incurred in the period and the change in future development costs required to develop those reserves. Finding and development costs per barrel is determined by dividing current period net reserve additions to the corresponding period’s finding and development cost. 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. Net reserve additions are calculated as the change in reserves from the beginning to the end of the applicable period excluding period production. Reserves replacement ratio is calculated as period net reserve additions divided by period production. Reserve life index is calculated as total Company gross reserves divided by annual production. Recycle ratios are calculated by dividing the current period finding and development costs per barrel to operating netbacks before hedging in the corresponding period (see “Non-GAAP Measures”). The recycle ratio compares netbacks from existing reserves to the cost of finding new reserves and may not accurately indicate the investment success unless the replacement of reserves are of equivalent quality as the produced reserves.

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 are derived from the Company's reserves evaluation of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. effective December 31, 2017 and account for locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the prospective acreage associated with the Company’s assets and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. Of the approximately 208 (net) drilling locations identified herein, 62 are proved locations, 28 are probable locations and the remaining are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by Management as an estimation of potential multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves or production. The locations on which the Company will drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, crude oil prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that can be

  • btained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked

drilling locations, 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 or production. Non-GAAP Measures This presentation may contain terms commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as funds flow from operations per share, operating netback and net

  • debt. These terms do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and may not be comparable to similar measures

presented by other companies. The Company calculates funds flow from operations per share by dividing funds flow from operations by the weighted average number of common shares

  • utstanding during the applicable period.

The Company uses operating netback as a key performance indicator of field results. Operating netback is presented on a per barrel basis and is calculated by deducting royalties and operating expenses from petroleum revenue. Operating netback is presented herein prior to realized gains or losses on commodity derivative contracts. The Company considers operating netback to be a key measure as it demonstrates Touchstone’s profitability relative to current commodity

  • prices. This measurement assists Management and investors in evaluating operating results on a per barrel basis to analyze performance on a historical basis.

Net debt (surplus) is calculated by summing the Company’s working capital and undiscounted non-current interest bearing liabilities. Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. The Company uses this information to assess its true debt and liquidity position and to manage capital and liquidity risk.
