Forward-Looking Statements or Information

Certain statements contained in this presentation of Madalena Energy Inc. ("Madalena" or the "Corporation") constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of the "safe harbour“ provisions of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "illustrative", "may", "will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should", "believe", "outlook", "objective", "aim", "potential", "target", "seek", "budget", "predict", "might" and similar words and derivatives thereof suggesting future events or future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves or resources described exist in the quantities predicted

  • r estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. In particular, this document contains, without limitation, forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: all details of, all projections of future activities related to, and all expectations of our

performance and results as a result of executing, Madalena's short and long term plans, strategies and goals, and the benefits anticipated to accrue to Madalena and its securityholders as a result thereof; expected production levels; expected additional oil and gas plays that could provide opportunities to the Corporation; expected product types in the Corporation's areas in which it holds assets; expected operations to be undertaken by the Corporation in the future and the timing thereof; type-curves for various kinds of wells that are expected by the Corporation and the assumptions related thereto; price decks provided by independent reserves evaluators; Madalena's inventory of drilling locations; the expected quality of the Corporation's assets and the probability of successful

  • perations on such assets; the thickness of zones in Madalena's assets; and the quality of infrastructure in the areas in which the Corporation operates.

With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, we have made assumptions regarding, among other things: the expected nature of and timing of operational activity; Madalena's ability to execute on its short and long-term plans as described herein and the impact that the successful execution of such plan will have on Madalena and its shareholders; the laws and regulations that Madalena will be required to comply with, including laws and regulations relating to taxation, royalty regimes and environmental protection; future capital expenditure levels; future crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices and Canadian, WTI and world oil prices; future crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production levels; drilling results; future exchange rates and interest rates; future debt levels; the cost of expanding Madalena's property holdings and growing production; Madalena's ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out exploration and development activities and the costs thereof; Madalena's ability to market oil and natural gas successfully to current and new customers; the impact of increasing competition; Madalena's ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; and our ability to add production and reserves through Madalena's development and exploitation activities. In addition, many of the forward-looking statements contained in this document are located proximate to assumptions that are specific to those forward-looking statements, and such assumptions should be taken into account when reading such forward-looking statements. Although Madalena believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not

  • ccur, which may cause our actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties

include, among other things: the possibility that Madalena will not be able to successfully execute its short or long-term plan in part or in full, and the possibility that some or all of the benefits that Madalena anticipates will accrue to it and its securityholders as a result of the successful execution of such plans do not materialize; the impact of weather conditions on seasonal demand and Madalena's ability to execute capital programs; risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties associated with estimating reserves and resources; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, resources, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S., Argentina and globally, and in particular, the effect that those conditions have on commodity prices and Madalena's access to capital; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, price differentials for crude oil produced in Canada and Argentina, respectively, as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions; royalties payable in respect of oil and natural gas production and changes to government royalty frameworks; changes in government regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, including environmental regulation; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed (including wild fires and flooding); failure to obtain regulatory, industry partner and other third-party consents and approvals when required, including for acquisitions, dispositions and mergers; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of dispositions, acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; changes in taxation and other laws and regulations that affect us and our securityholders; the potential failure of counterparties to honour their contractual obligations; and the other factors described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form, and described in our public filings available in Canada at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the date of this document. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Notes To Disclosure of Resources: (1) "Total Petroleum Initially In Place" means DPIIP + UPIIP. When calculating DPIIP, there is no material production or reserves associated with these properties. Contingent resources is the only category of DPIIP that has been categorized as recoverable. Prospective resources is the only category of UPIIP that has been categorized as recoverable. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources referred to in the tables above. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources referred to in the tables above will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of these resources. (2) Certain volumes are arithmetic sums of multiple estimates of contingent & prospective resources, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be

  • recovered. Readers should give attention to the estimates of individual classes of resources and appreciate the differing probabilities of recovery associated with each class as explained herein.

Details on the categories that comprise these calculations are in the tables that follow.

DEFINITIONS: "Contingent resources" Definition: Those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. "Discovered petroleum initially-in-place" or "discovered resources"

  • r "DPIIP"

Definition: That quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to

  • production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum initially-in-place includes production, reserves and contingent resources;

the remainder is unrecoverable. "Prospective resources" Definition: Those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. "Total petroleum initially-in-place", "total resources"

  • r "TPIIP"

Definition: That quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations; equal to DPIIP plus

  • UPIIP. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to

production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. "Undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place", "undiscovered resources" or "UPIIP" Definition: That quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place is referred to as prospective resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent All calculations converting natural gas to barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") have been made using a conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (six "Mcf") of natural gas to one barrel of oil, unless otherwise stated. The use of boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation, as the conversion ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Analogous Information Certain information in this document may constitute "analogous information" as defined in National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"), including, but not limited to, information relating to areas, wells and /or operations that are in geographical proximity to or on-trend with prospective lands held by Madalena and production information related to wells that are believed to be on trend with Madalena's properties. Such information has been obtaine d from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Management of Madalena believes the information may be relevant to help define the reservoir characteristics in which Madalena may hold an interest and such informati

  • n has been presented to help demonstrate the basis for Madalena's business plans and strategies.

However, such analogous information has not been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and Madalena is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evalu ator or auditor. Madalena has no way of verifying the accuracy of such information. There is no certainty that the results of the analogous information or inferred thereby will be achieved by Madalena and such information should not be construed a s an estimate of future production levels. Such information is also not an estimate of the reserves or resources attributable to lands held or to be held by Madalena and there is no certainty that the reservoir data and economics information for the la nds held or to be held by Madalena will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by Madalena may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands to be held by Madalena. Initial Production Rates Any references in this document to test rates, flow rates, initial and/or final raw test or production rates, early production, test volumes behind pipe and/or "flush" production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Such rates may also include recovered "load" fluids used in well completion stimulation. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Madalena. In addition, the Vaca Muerta shale is an unconventional resource play which may be subject to high initial decline rates. Such rates may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at this time and are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter.
