1 Unconventional Shale Gas & Conventional Opportunities in the Quebec Lowlands, Quebec Canada Exploration Assets Management, LLC Wylie Texas Jim Morabito 25 October, 2011

2 The Leap to Quebec Utica Shale Gas Potential Cut teeth in Michigan Basin s Devonian Antrim Shale Play Shallow drilling (less than 2,000 ). Different animal with biogenic gas. Now have well over 10,000 wells drilled. Historically Hints: gas show after gas show drilling through shale for deeper Silurian Niagaran Reef Play. Incentive: Ten year tax credit at $0.90 to $1.00 per Mcf. Gas prices ranged from $1.65 to $3.00 per Mcf (main fairway in northern rim of Michigan Basin EUR:.48 Bcf per well). Low pressure, low volume, low BTu gas. EUR for play over 4 Tcf. F&D Costs were $0.50 to $0.75 / Mcf Gas factory resource play concept overlooked by Shell (Main Reef Player) made many small independents big (Quicksilver). Opportunity - Opportunity Opportunity

3 Why Quebec Utica Shale Gas Potential Under-explored Basin with source/resource rock (Utica Shale) in dry gas generation window with world class reserves potential. Lowlands are structurally complex and may contain sizable recoverable reserves in conventional plays. Nearby existing major gas transmission pipeline infrastructure with capacity to deliver gas to Provincial Market or NE USA. Gas pricing (into sales line) indexed to NYMEX with strong positive Basis. Marcellus gas may/will have effect Targeted drilling depths with multiple objectives from 500 to 3,000 meters. Exploration Incentives provided by Quebec Province.

4 Why Quebec Exploration & Development Existing gas transmission Infrastructure with capacity in the Lowlands and into US markets. Capital and development for additional pipelines provided by Gaz Metro (franchised entity). Gas price indexed to NYMEX with a positive basis. Significant Tax Rebate from the Province of Quebec for exploratory expenditures. Provincial Royalty structured on a sliding scale from 5 to 12.5% for oil and 10 to 12.5% for natural gas Very low entry costs to acquire concessions Reasonable drilling depths for nearly all projects (objectives from 500 to 3,000 m)

5 Conventional Plays 1 Tcf Equivalent Potential Quaternary Clastics at less than 300m (analogous to Point du Lac Field 1.5 Bcf). Fractured Hydrothermal Trenton Carbonate Plays from 800 to 2,600 m. Thrust Sheet Fairway with prospective targets from 1,300 to 3,000 m (analogous to St Flavian Field 8 Bcf). Lower Ordovician Sandstone Structural and Stratigraphic Plays with targets from 800 to 3,000 m. Seismically-defined structural closures with prospective targets from 1,000 to 2,400 m. Antiformal Stack zone with prospective targets from 2,000 to 3,000+ m.

6 Why Quebec: Unconventional Plays 3 Tcf Potential (May be grossly underestimated) Fractured, biogenic Utica & Lorraine Shale Plays from 200 to 800 m (analogous to Antrim Shale). Recoverable reserves P50 = 0.25 Bcf per well Thermogenic Utica & Lorraine Shale Plays from 1,000 to 3,000 m (analogous to Barnett Shale). Recoverable reserves P65 = 2.75 Bcf (Roberto Aguilera take a bow). Tight Gas Sand and Siltstone Play from 1,000 to 2,400 m

7 Gas Potential in Southern Quebec Assumptions: Potential of 4,000,000 hectres in Southern Quebec Lowlands. A look at the potential prize is: Thermogenic Unconventional Biogenic Unconventional Tight Gas Sands/Silts Conventional Plays TOTAL 5.4 Tcf 0.6 Tcf 0.6 Tcf 1.0 Tcf 7.6 Tcf Provincial Royalty share could surpass $5,000,000,000. Add on the added revenues from job creation,.

8 Simplified Stratigraphy Quebec Lowlands & Thrust Belt Queenston Lorraine Utica Low seismic reflectivity Significant deformation far north & west of the outcropping thrust front/logan s Line Trenton-Black River High impedance strong reflectivity modest deformation, folding & minor faulting north & west of Logan s Line Chazy Low Reflectivity, not picked individually Beekmantown Strong reflectivity, modest deformation similar to TRB but locally decoupled Potsdam Thickness highly variable generally thickens to south & east Locally strong basal reflection ID d as carbonate in St. Ours well (A166) Modest deformation similar to Beekmantown

9 Shale-Gas Test Detail (V) MJU Utica Upper-gas Utica Lower-gas

10 Utica - Barnett Shale Comparison Assumptions: Early Barnett Shale DSTs at 20 to 100 Mcfd Small cased-hole frac-job completions IP d at 50 to 300 Mcfd (all uneconomic at 6,000 and < $1/Mcf gas) A-173 Utica DSTs reported at 10Mcfd and 46 Mcfd with small acid-fracs resulting in 300 Mcfd and 476 Mcfd rates A-161 Utica tested 2.5MMcfd from an open fracture (no need to modify the rate) Using modern hydro-frac technology best guess of 20 times the rate for old DST versus modern IPs. Utilize 5 to 8 times for older cased-holed frac tests versus modern IPs.
