Value Proposition How can CDL increase your ROR by a modest 5% on a $100MM investment or acquisition? Supply G&G knowledge on identified opportunities from broad regional picture to detailed in-depth analysis Reduce risk and assess upside on targeted assets using deep G&G expertise and area knowledge Benchmark drilling and completions practices for area of interest using best-in-class big data What s the cost? Probably less than 0.5%, ROR on the incremental capital 1,000%

Deliverables Overview
Sample Geological Assessment Hydrogeological Investigation Hydro-structural cross-section What are the implications for the play of interest?
Sample Geological Assessment Pressure Regime Analysis Pressure vs elevation plot Is the area of interest over-, under- or normally pressured.
Sample Geological Assessment Reservoir Characterization Mineralogy and petrophysical analysis. Contrast within the section of interest. Impact on the reservoir within the area of interest.
Sample Production Assessment Probabilistic Type Curve Development PTC`s developed using SPEE and USGS methodology Type curves can be normalized for a variety of parameters Profiles are the basis for economic evaluations Provides a basis of comparisons for opportunities
Regional Estimated Recovery CDL has forecast EURs for each unconventional producer Highlights areas of best expected performance
Sample Production Assessment Well Performance (1of 2) Comparative well performance Target company wells had median 12 month cumulative production 127% above the median for the area.
Sample Production Assessment Well Performance(2 of 2) Comparison of IP(90) for all area operators. Majority of target company s wells were in the top quartile
Sample Production Assessment By-Product Yields METHODOLOGY CDL conducted the Gas Liquids & Light Oil Study (GLLO) in 2013 GLLO examined analysis from 530,000 gas and 250,000 oil wells to map liquid trends in 24 formations across Western Canada. Controlling factors are formation temperature, facies and pressure. GLLO study data were extracted for area of interest Theoretical liquid yield was based on gas analysis and Gas Processor s Handbook calculation P50 value was used for the type curves and EURs
Sample Economic Assessment Cost Comparisons Operating and Capital TYPICAL METRICS Completion Types Drilling/Completion Costs Operating/Capital Costs Efficiency/Recovery Benchmarking/peer review
Sample Assignment Resource Assessment TYPICAL DELIVERABLES EUR (P50) Total OOIP/OGIP Estimates Condensate/Gas Ratio Expectations in the Area of Interest
Assignment Findings Key Findings Conclusions that the technical data have highlighted Summary of potential Potential challenges Presentation Follow-Up Quick turnaround of additional items of interest Technical Assessment Letter Written assessment of findings
