FIRSTENERGY | East Coast Energy Conference March 2015 48 Corporate Profile Canbriam Energy Inc. is a privately held mid-cap producer pursuing development of the Montney across its ~61,000 net acre land position in northeast BC at North Altares, where it has de-risked an impressive inventory of over 700 liquids-rich natural gas locations. Development activities to date have delineated a 25,000 acre sweetspot within the Company’s Altares core featuring a localized, over-pressured Montney reservoir that is delivering uncharacteristically high liquids yields for the immediate region alongside some of the best initial natural gas rates observed out of the entire Montney fairway. Canbriam has outlined a preliminary development plan for a staged infrastructure build out that could ultimately allow for corporate natural gas production to reach 450 mmcf/d in 2018e+ with the cooperation of supportive commodity and capital markets.

Operational Update Having been restricted to 50 mmcf/d (or ~10,000 boe/d, 20% liquids) throughout 2014e, Canbriam has recently begun ramping-up production through its Phase I facility (80 mmcf/d) with ~16 wells expected to be brought on production by mid- 2015e. For 2015e, we forecast Canbriam will spend between $350 to $400 mm with which it could run a 3 rig drilling program and complete construction on a water hub (1H15e) as well as a Phase II expansion (80 mmcf/d) by the end of 4Q15e and bring total corporate facility capacity to upwards of ~210 mmcf/d exiting the year. Financial Outlook Following the Company’s private placement for US$250 mm of senior unsecured notes in 4Q14, along with remaining proceeds available through its Series C preferred shares and $145 mm line of credit, we believe Canbriam is fully funded into 1H16e. Beyond this maintenance case, which includes two further facility expansions to add 240 mmcf/d of capacity, Canbriam would require a capital injection or a slower growth trajectory to match organic financial capacity. Management will look to make a decision on whether to defer investment in these additional phases, primarily based on the state of commodity prices, by mid-year 2015e which may or may not coincide with an IPO event in the coming quarters/years.

Corporate Profile

Canbriam Energy Inc. is a privately held mid-cap producer pursuing development of the Montney across its ~61,000 net acre land position in northeast BC at North Altares, where it has de-risked an impressive inventory of over 700 liquids-rich natural gas locations.

Development activities to date have delineated a 25,000 acre sweetspot within the Company’s Altares core featuring a localized, over-pressured Montney reservoir that is delivering uncharacteristically high liquids yields for the immediate region alongside some of the best initial natural gas rates observed out of the entire Montney fairway.

Canbriam has outlined a preliminary development plan for a staged infrastructure build out that could ultimately allow for corporate natural gas production to reach 450 mmcf/d in 2018e+ with the cooperation of supportive commodity and capital markets.

The Company’s key financial partners include Warburg Pincus, ARC Financial Corp., Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan, GE Asset Management and Blackrock.

Operational update

Having been restricted to 50 mmcf/d (or ~10,000 boe/d, 20% liquids) throughout 2014e, Canbriam has recently begun ramping-up production through its Phase I facility (80 mmcf/d) with ~16 wells expected to be brought on production by mid-2015e.

For 2015e, we forecast Canbriam will spend between $350 to $400 mm with which it could run a 3 rig drilling program and complete construction on a water hub (1H15e) as well as a Phase II expansion (80 mmcf/d) by the end of 4Q15e and bring total corporate facility capacity to upwards of ~210 mmcf/d exiting the year.

Financial Outlook

Following the Company’s private placement for US$250 mm of senior unsecured notes in 4Q14, along with remaining proceeds available through its Series C preferred shares and $145 mm line of credit, we believe Canbriam is fully funded into 1H16e.

Beyond this maintenance case, which includes two further facility expansions to add 240 mmcf/d of capacity, Canbriam would require a capital injection or a slower growth trajectory to match organic financial capacity. Management will look to make a decision on whether to defer investment in these additional phases, primarily based on the state of commodity prices, by mid-year 2015e which may or may not coincide with an IPO event in the coming quarters/years.
