HIGHLIGHTS

  • Established Base Production: Manitok's assets are producing ~3,600 BOE/d (July 2018 field estimates) with a forecasted base decline rate of ~16%.
  • Meaningful Oil Exposure: Base production is ~33% liquids weighted (25% oil; 8% NGLs); oil focused development opportunities exist in the Cardium and Glauconitic formations.
  • Expansive Land Base: Manitok has exposure to ~570,000 gross (~380,000 net) acres of land across Alberta.
  • Recent Undercapitalization of Asset Base: Manitok's latest drilling activity was in Q4 2016, resulting in an asset base that reflects established base production and is ready for deployment of development capital. The last drilling activity consisted of six wells in the Carseland area targeting the Glauconitic formation.
  • Identified High Impact Drilling Opportunities: Manitok has identified 131 drilling locations, including 52 focused on Cardium oil in Stolberg and Willesden Green and 11 focused on Glauconitic oil in Carlseland and Wayne. Historical Cardium drilling results have produced at peak monthly oil rates in excess of 1,300 Bbl/d at Stolberg and 500 Bbl/d at Willesden Green. Company Glauconitic wells have approached peak monthly oil rates of 300 Bbl/d. Additional opportunities for significant inventory expansion are available through further PrairieSky Fee land acquisitions.
  • Light Oil Resource Upside: Lands in the greater Gordondale area are located proximal to recent industry activity targeting the emerging Charlie Lake oil play and established Halfway development.
  • Infrastructure in Place: Manitok's base assets have established infrastructure in place, including >25 MBbl/d of underutilized central oil batteries, which are a major contributor to meaningful third party revenue. Corporate third party revenue in the past 12 months was ~$3.7 MM (June 2017 to May 2018):
    • This Sale Process includes all key oil infrastructure at Stolberg, Carseland and Wayne and as part of a transaction there will be no go-forward commitments related to the prior dealings with Stream.
