PART 2
DISCLOSURE OF RESERVES
DATA
In
accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and
Gas Activities, Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”) prepared a report (the
“Sproule Report”) dated August 31, 2009. The Sproule Report evaluated 100% of
Eagleford Energy Inc.’s (“Eagleford” or the “Company”) natural gas reserves, as
at August 31, 2009. The tables below are summaries of the Company’s natural gas
reserves and the net present value of future net revenue attributable to such
reserves as evaluated in the Sproule Report based on forecast price and cost
assumptions. The tables summarize the data contained in the Sproule Report and
as a result may contain slightly different numbers than such report due to
rounding. Also due to rounding, certain columns may not add
exactly.
The net
present value of future net revenue attributable to the Company’s reserves is
stated without provision for interest costs and general and administrative
costs, but after providing for estimated royalties, production costs,
development costs, other income, future capital expenditures, and well
abandonment costs for only those wells assigned reserves by Sproule. It should
not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future
net revenue attributable to the Company’s reserves estimated by Sproule
represent the fair market value of those reserves. Other assumptions and
qualifications relating to costs, prices for future production and other matters
are summarized herein. The recovery and reserve estimates of our natural gas
reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the
estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may be greater than or
less than the estimates provided herein.
The
Sproule Report is based on certain factual data supplied by the Company and
Sproule’s opinion of reasonable practice in the industry. The extent and
character of ownership and all factual data pertaining to the Company’s natural
gas property and contracts (except for certain information residing in the
public domain) were supplied by the Company to Sproule and accepted without and
further investigation. Sproule accepted this data as presented and neither title
searches nor field inspections were conducted.
The
Company’s interest covered by this report is located in the Province of Alberta,
Canada.
All
monetary references contained in this Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil
and Gas Information are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise
specified.

Item
5.2 Significant Factors or
Uncertainties:
The
process of evaluating reserves is inherently complex. It requires
significant judgments and decisions based on available geological, geophysical,
engineering and economics data. These estimates may change
substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and
production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting
oil and gas prices and costs changes. The reserve estimates contained
herein are based on current production forecasts, prices and economic
conditions. These factors and assumptions include among others (i)
historical production in the area compared with production rates from analogous
producing areas; (ii) initial production rates, (iii) production decline rates;
(iv) ultimate recovery of reserves; (v) success of future development
activities; (vi) marketability of production; (vii) effects of government
regulation; and (viii) other government levies imposed over the life of the
reserves.
As
circumstances change and additional data becomes available, reserves estimates
also change. Estimates are reviewed and revised, either upward or
downward, as warranted by the new information. Revisions are often
required for changes in well performance, prices, economic conditions and
governmental restrictions. Revisions to reserve estimates can arise
from changes in year–end prices, reservoir performance and geological conditions
or production. These revisions can be either positive or
negative.

OTHER OIL AND GAS
INFORMATION
Item
6.1 Oil and Gas Properties and
Wells:
1. Properties, Plants,
Facilities and Installations
Properties: For the fiscal
year ended August 31, 2009 the Company held a 5.1975% working
interest in a natural gas unit located in the Botha area Northwest, near the
town of Manning, Alberta and a 0.5% overriding royalty in a natural gas well
located in the Haynes area of Alberta, Canada.
Acreage. The following table
sets forth the developed and undeveloped acreage of the projects in which the
Company holds an interest, on a gross and a net basis as of August 31, 2008. The
developed acreage is stated on the basis of spacing units designated by
provincial authorities and typically on the basis of 160 acre spacing unit for
oil production and 640 acre spacing unit for gas production in
Alberta. Our acreage is located in Alberta, Canada.

Item
6.4 Additional Information
Concerning Abandonment and Reclamation Costs:
The
Company bases its estimates for costs of abandonment and reclamation of surface
leases and wells on previous experience with similar well site locations and
area terrain. The Company believes that its range of estimates at $30,000 gross
per well for abandonment and reclamation costs are reasonable and applicable to
its wells. The Company’s independent engineering evaluator has also
estimated similar costs in deriving the Company’s estimate of future net
revenue. Ultimately all wells in the natural gas unit will require abandonment
and reclamation. The total of such costs estimated for 5.1975 net
wells for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 was $12,474 and $2,080
calculated using a discount rate of 10% percent. The Company does not expect to
pay abandonment and reclamation costs over the next 3 fiscal years.
Item
6.5 Tax
Horizon:
The
Company has non-capital losses of $525,825 at August 31, 2009 and does not
anticipate paying significant income taxes in the near term.

Appendix
A - Definitions
The
following definitions form the basis of our classification of reserves and
values presented in this report. They have been prepared by the Standing
Committee on Reserves Definitions of the Petroleum Society of the CIM ("CIM"),
incorporated in the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers ("SPEE") Canadian
Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook") and specified by National
Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101").
Reserves
are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances
anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date
forward, based on:
|
·
|
analysis
of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering
data;
|
|
·
|
the
use of established technology;
|
|
·
|
specified
economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable, and
shall be disclosed; and
|
|
·
|
a
remaining reserve life of 50 years.
|
Reserves
are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the
estimates.
1. Proved
Reserves
Proved
reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of
certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
2. Probable
Reserves
Probable
reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered
than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus
probable reserves.
3. Possible
Reserves
Possible
reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered
than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus
possible reserves. Possible reserves have not been considered in this
report.
[Sproule

Appendix
A- Page 2
|
Other
criteria that must also be met for the categorization of reserves are provided
in Section 5.5 of the CaGE Handbook.
Each of
the reserves categories (proved, probable, and possible) may be divided into
developed or undeveloped categories.
4. Developed
Reserves
Developed
reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing
wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that
would involve a low expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a
well) to put the reserves on production. The developed category may be
subdivided into producing and non producing.
5. Developed Producing
Reserves
Developed
producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from
completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be
currently producing or, if shut in, they must have previously been on
production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with
reasonable certainty.
6. Developed Non-Producing
Reserves
Developed
non-producing reserves are those reserves that either have not been on
production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date
of resumption of production is unknown.
7. Undeveloped
Reserves
Undeveloped
reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations
where a significant expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a
well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the
requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to
which they are assigned.
In
multi-well pools, it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between
the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves
for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing. This
allocation should be based on the estimator's assessment as to the reserves that
will be recovered from specific wells, facilities, and completion intervals in
the pool and their respective development and production status.

8. Levels of Certainty for
Reported Reserves
The
qualitative certainty levels contained in the definitions in Sections 1, 2 and 3
are applicable to individual reserves entities, which refers to the lowest level
at which reserves estimates are made, and to reported reserves, which refers to
the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserve estimates
are made.
Reported
total reserves estimated by deterministic or probabilistic methods, whether
comprised of a single reserves entity or an aggregate estimate for multiple
entities, should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set
of economic conditions:
a. There
is a 90% probability that at least the estimated proved reserves will be
recovered.
b. There
is a 50% probability that at least the sum of the estimated proved reserves plus
probable reserves will be recovered.
c. There
is a 10% probability that at least the sum of the estimated proved reserves plus
probable reserves plus possible reserves will be recovered.
A
quantitative measure of the probability associated with a reserves estimate is
generated only when a probabilistic estimate is conducted. The majority of
reserves estimates will be performed using deterministic methods that do not
provide a quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no
difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic
methods.
Additional
clarification of certainty levels associated with reserves estimates and the
effect of aggregation is provided in Section 5.5.3 of the COGE Handbook. Whether
deterministic or probabilistic methods are used, evaluators are expressing their
professional judgment as to what are reasonable estimates.
9. Remaining Recoverable Reserves
are the total remaining recoverable reserves associated with the acreage in
which the Company has an interest.
10. Company Gross Reserves are the
Company's working interest share of the remaining reserves, before deduction of
any royalties.
[Sproule

|
Appendix
A- Page 4
|
11. Company Net Reserves are the
gross remaining reserves of the properties in which the Company has an interest,
less all Crown, freehold, and overriding royalties and interests owned by
others.
12. Net Production Revenue is
income derived from the sale of net reserves of oil, non associated and
associated gas, and gas by-products, less all capital and operating
costs.
13. Fair Market Value is defined
as the price at which a purchaser seeking an economic and commercial return on
investment would be willing to buy, and a vendor would be willing to sell, where
neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and both are competent and have
reasonable knowledge of the facts.
14. Barrels of Oil Equivalent (BOE)
Reserves – BOE is the sum of the oil reserves, plus the gas reserves
divided by a factor of 6, plus the natural gas liquid reserves, all expressed in
barrels or thousands of barrels. Equivalent reserves can also be expressed in
thousands of cubic feet of gas equivalent (McfGE) using a conversion ratio of 1
bbl:6 Mcf.
15. Oil (or Crude Oil) – a mixture
consisting mainly of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons that exists in the liquid
phase in reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure and temperature.
Crude oil may contain small amounts of sulphur and other non hydrocarbons,
but does not include liquids obtained from the processing of natural
gas.
16. Gas (or Natural Gas) – a
mixture of lighter hydrocarbons that exist either in the gaseous phase or in
solution in crude oil in reservoirs, but are gaseous at atmospheric conditions.
Natural gas may contain sulphur or other non-hydrocarbon compounds.
17. Non-Associated Gas – an
accumulation of natural gas in a reservoir where there is no crude
oil.
18. Associated Gas – the gas cap
overlying a crude oil accumulation in a reservoir.
19. Solution Gas – gas dissolved
in crude oil.
20. Natural Gas Liquids – those
hydrocarbon components that can be removed from natural gas as liquids
including, but not limited to, ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes plus,
condensate, and small quantities of non-hydrocarbons.

B - Prices (As of August 31, 2009)
Sproule's
short-term outlook for oil and gas prices adopts the NYMEX futures market for
the forecast period ending August 31, 2012. The forecast
used in this evaluation was derived as of August 31, 2009, and reflects
the arithmetic average of the futures market at the close of trading each day,
for the month prior to the Termination of Trading date for a September contract. The oil
price forecasts are based on the NYMEX Division light, sweet (low-sulphur) crude
oil futures contract, which specifies the West Texas Intermediate crude as a
deliverable, and the gas price forecasts are based on the NYMEX Division Henry
Hub natural gas futures contract.
The NYMEX
oil and gas futures prices are the foundation of Sproule's energy pricing models
in the early years. This data is combined with Sproule's assumptions respecting
long-term prices, inflation rates, and exchange rates, together with estimates
of transportation costs and prices of competing fuels, to forecast wellhead and
plantgate prices for Canadian oil, natural gas, and natural gas by-product
production. The following paragraphs briefly describe some of the key
considerations included in Sproule's long-term outlook for oil and natural gas
price forecasts.
Oil
Prices
In the
long term, the price of oil will be governed by supply and demand, and the
degree that OPEC is able to manage supply will be a major determinant in
establishing oil prices for the next 10 years. A strong demand for crude oil,
instability in the Middle East, and the increasing cost of exploration and
development has served to increase the price of crude oil throughout the world.
In recognition of these factors, Sproule's long-term forecast has been set at
$85.00 US per barrel
(2009 dollars).
Transmission
costs, a significant item in forecasting Canadian wellhead prices, are expected
to increase at rates that are generally less than the rate of inflation. The
exchange rate ($U.S. per $Canadian) reflects a projection from 0.90 to 0.95.
The oil
price forecasts set out in Table P-1 are based on a forecast of prices for West
Texas Intermediate crude at Cushing, Oklahoma. The price of this marker crude is
expected to directly reflect world oil prices over the forecast period. The
Edmonton par price is for a 40 to 45 degree API crude having less than 0.5
percent sulphur. The actual wellhead price of oil will vary with the quality of
the crude and the cost of the transportation from the wellhead to the trading
hub in Edmonton. This cost, which is referred to as the price differential, is
based on the actual difference between the revenue received at the wellhead and
the Edmonton par price postings of major crude oil purchasers. In the absence of
actual crude oil price statistics, the differential is based on the price of
similar quality crude in the area.

Natural
Gas Prices
The New
York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) posted price for gas bought and sold at the
Henry Hub in Louisiana has become a common index for Canadian natural gas
producers with access to the American marketplace. In Alberta and Saskatchewan,
the AECO price at Suffield is a reflection of the market price for natural gas
sold locally, and the Sumas price on the British Columbia/ Washington border is
critical to the BC producer.
Developing
a balance between supply and demand for natural gas produced in Western Canada
has proved a challenge to the Canadian producer, where drilling activity, which
leads to gas well completions, must serve to replace declining gas well
production and fill new or expanded pipeline systems. In the early 1990's, the
Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC price of natural gas has often been suppressed,
relative to the market opportunities in the United States, because local natural
gas delivery exceeded the pipeline capacity leaving the provinces. Various new
pipeline projects have provided sufficient market access to allow Western
Canadian producers to double their production since 1986. With each new
pipeline, the drilling activity expanded to ensure the pipeline was full and
continued until a surplus in local productive capacity would once again depress
the price of natural gas in the western provinces. An additional 1.1 Bcf per day
of pipeline capacity completed during the 1998/99 winter, followed by 1.2 Bcf
per day of capacity in the Alliance Pipeline, created additional market access
for Canadian gas. This has strengthened the Canadian gas price and has created
an integrated North American market. The average long-term price at Alberta
AECO-C is approximately $Cdn
6.90 per MMBtu in real terms. In the United States, Sproule maintains a
long-term threshold of $7.50
U.S. per MMBtu, in real terms. Detailed price schedules are set out in
Table P-2. The actual plantgate price will vary with the heat content of the
natural gas and the cost of transportation from the plantgate to the trading
hub. In the absence of actual natural gas price statistics, the differential is
based on the price of natural gas in the area.
The
evaluation of uncontracted shut-in gas reserves in Western Canada considers the
proximity to existing infrastructure, and the production start date varies with
the magnitude of the reserves and the development plans of the operator. To the
extent the plant and gathering facilities of sufficient capacity are currently
available, the production start date is deferred a year or two and the economics
of plant development may curtail the production of the reserves to an average
daily rate of 1.0 MMcfpd per 3.5 Bcf of reserves. For reserves located in remote
areas, or reserves that are considered of poor quality, the production start
date is no earlier than 2012.

Natural
Gas By-Products
Ethane,
propane, butanes, and pentanes plus prices were forecast to continue their
historic relationships with crude prices in major Eastern Canadian and U.S.
market areas. Ethane prices are expected to increase from present levels at a
rate that corresponds to the local Alberta spot price of gas. Sulphur prices
reflect the current market. The price forecasts for natural gas by-products are
set out in Table P-1. The prices for these by-products were adjusted in this
report to reflect the actual prices received at the plantgate.

Appendix
D - General Evaluation Parameters
Royalties
and Mineral Taxes
The
lessor and overriding royalties were based on existing agreements and government
regulations. The Crown royalty rates and the Freehold Mineral Taxes were based
upon existing provincial regulations.
In
October 2007, the Government of Alberta announced new royalties for the Province
of Alberta. These royalties were enacted by legislation to be effective January
1, 2009 and, therefore, have been included in this report. In addition, the
Alberta New Well Royalty Reduction program and the Alberta Drilling Royalty
Credit program, announced in March 2009 and enacted by legislation in June 2009,
have been included.
Operating
and Capital Costs
Operating
and capital costs were based on current costs and were escalated to the dates
when these costs would be incurred. When escalated, the operating costs and
capital costs were escalated based upon the schedule of escalation factors
included in Appendix B, Table P-1. Where applicable, a fee for dehydration,
gathering, compression and processing was applied against royalty gas and
credited to the Company.
Gas
Cost Allowance
The
operating portion of the gas cost allowance (GCA) has been included with each
individual entity. The value has been estimated based on either custom
processing fees or actual operating costs, as reported by the Facility Cost
Centre (FCC) operator. The Alberta Department of Energy Unit Operating Cost
Rates (UOCR) Plant Types, or UOCR-designated facility rates, are replaced by the
FCC in 2009. These FCC costs have been estimated based on the old custom
processing fees or UOCR's.
The
Corporate Effective Royalty Rate is replaced by the Facility Effective Royalty
Rate (FERR) in 2009. The FERR will include a capital cost component, which will
replace the Capital GCA pools. As this GCA is in the transitional stages of
changing to new regulations, the capital portion of the GCA is estimated based
on the historical Capital GCA pools until enough information is available to
include it with the operating portion.

Appendix

Abandonment
and Reclamation
Well
abandonment and disconnect costs were estimated and included in our report at
the individual entity level for all wells that were assigned reserves. No
allowance for surface lease reclamation and salvage value was included. No
abandonment costs have been estimated for suspended wells, gathering systems,
batteries, plants, or processing facilities.
Corporate
Income Taxes
At the
request of the Company, income taxes have not been considered in this report.
However for completeness, the procedure used in calculating Canadian income tax
is set out below.
All
royalties on production from Indian Lands are deductible. Non-Crown (that is,
freehold or overriding) royalties are subdivided as follows, for income tax
calculations:
(a) Production
royalties are those non-Crown royalties which are subject to payments to the
Crown (including Freehold Mineral Taxes (Alberta), Freehold Production Taxes
(Saskatchewan), and Incremental Taxes (Manitoba)).
(b) Resource
Royalties are those non-Crown royalties which are not subject to non
deductible Crown payments.
The
procedure for calculating Canadian income taxes used in this report, is as
follows:
1. Determine
revenues from the production and sale of oil, gas, and by-products, including
sulphur, from field processing of gas of other producers, and from gas
production royalties. (This calculation is to be made gross of any Crown
charges.)
2. Deduct
operating and direct overhead costs.
3. Deduct
capital cost allowance (depreciation).
4. Deduct
production royalties paid or payable.
5. Deduct
Crown charges (Crown royalties and freehold mineral taxes).
6. Deduct
resource royalties paid.
[Sproule

|
Appendix
D- Page 3
|
7. Deduct
intangible costs:
|
·
|
10
percent of non-amortized balance at end of year for Canadian Oil and Gas
Property Expense (COGPE),
|
|
·
|
30
percent of non-amortized balance at end of year for Canadian Development
Expense (CDE),
|
|
·
|
100
percent of Canadian Exploration Expense
(CEE).
|
8. Deduct
interest, NPI expenses, abandonment costs, and Saskatchewan capital
tax.
9. Deduct
earned depletions. This deduction was discontinued many years ago. However, some
companies could have a residual balance available. If so, the amount that can be
claimed is the lesser of production profits (for this purpose includes resource
royalties earned and is reduced by deduction for resource royalties paid or
payable, and COGPE, CDE, and CEE deductions and interest) and the remaining
balance of earned depletion.
10. Add
resource royalties received or receivable, and other income (including NPI
income).
11. Calculate
taxable income for federal and provincial tax purposes, which equals the amount
by which the aggregate of Items 1 and 10 exceed the aggregate of Items 2 through
9.
12. Calculate
federal income taxes payable by multiplying federal taxable income by the
federal tax rate.
13. Calculate
provincial income taxes payable by multiplying provincial taxable income by the
appropriate provincial tax rate.
Processing
Income
Some
clarification is required with regard to the definition of field processing
plants. The following describes plants where the processing revenue would be
included in the resource revenue.
(a) Field
separation and dehydration facilities.
[Sproule

|
Appendix
D- Page 4
|
(b) A
natural gas processing plant which processes raw natural gas to the point of
acceptance by a common carrier, including the processing of hydrogen
sulphide.
(c) Fully
integrated plants that take raw natural gas through the whole process of
converting such gas to natural gas liquids and to further convert the natural
gas liquids to liquefied petroleum products.
The
following describes plants where the processing revenue would not be included in
the resource revenue.
(a) Straddle
plants which enhance the recovery of natural gas liquids.
(b) Any
part of a natural gas processing plant that is devoted primarily to the recovery

Capital
Cost Allowance
Capital
cost allowance (CCA) is the rate at which the government allows depreciation on
tangible capital investment items.

When
using the declining balance, the prescribed rate is applied to the undepreciated
portion of the capital costs in a particular class at the end of the fiscal
year. It is not necessary to claim full capital cost allowance, and any amount
from zero to the stated maximum can be claimed. In the year that the capital
cost is incurred, only one-half of the stated maximum is allowed.
The asset
descriptions contained in the Income Tax Act are drafted precisely. If an asset
does not exactly fit the description of a class, then it is not to be included
in that class.
Class 8
is a residual class. If property does not qualify for inclusion in any other
class, and if it is not specifically excluded from Class 8, then it falls into
Class 8.
Resource
Allowance
As of
January 1, 2007, there is no further deductible percentage for Resource
Allowance.
Intangible
Costs
Intangible
costs are certain of the capital costs which, for taxable net income calculation
purposes, are expensed or written off in the year of expenditures or at a
specified rate over a number of years.
A
distinction is made for tax purposes between Canadian Exploration Expense,
Canadian Development Expense, and Canadian Oil and Gas Property
Expense. All these expenses may be carried forward indefinitely. These
expenses must be reduced by the amount of any incentive payments made by the
Federal government for exploration or development.
(a) Canadian Exploration Expense
(CEE) includes intangible costs of drilling exploratory wells, as well as
geological and geophysical expenses and all dry wells. These costs may be
written off at the rate of 100 percent by principal business corporations in the
year in which the expenditure was made.

(b) Canadian Development Expense
(CDE) includes intangible development drilling costs. Canadian
Development Expense is written off at the rate of 30 percent per annum of the
diminishing balance.
(c) Canadian Oil and Gas Property Expense
(COGPE) includes the cost of purchasing any producing oil and gas
reserves and any unproven P&NG properties. This expense is written off at
the rate of 10 percent per annum of the diminishing balance.
Income
Tax Rates
The tax
rates used for an escalated case reflect the current position of the Federal and
Provincial governments with respect to income taxes in Canada. A constant case
will reflect the current tax rates held flat for the projection period. The
following table provides the taxation rates for the current year and the final
year of the transition period.

Capital
Taxes
A federal
"Large Corporation Tax" of 0.175 percent is employed in Canada on capital in
excess of $50 million. The capital tax is fully creditable against the existing
corporate surtax which is currently 1.12 percent for all types of income. This
report includes the cost of the corporate surtax but does not reflect the impact
of the federal Large Corporation Tax.

Successor
Rules
Successor
rules may apply where there has been an acquisition by a corporation, in which
case resource tax pools that are transferred to the purchaser will be streamed
so that they will only be allowed as deductions against proceeds attributable to
the resource properties acquired from the vendor. This report does not reflect
the impact of Successor Rules.
Net
Present Values
The
estimates of the P&NG reserves and their respective net present values are
summarized by property and by reserves category in the Discussion section of
this report.
Detailed
forecasts of production and net revenue for the various reserves categories are
presented in Tables in the Summary and Discussion sections.

1.
|
We
have evaluated the Company's Reserves Data as at August 31, 2009. The
reserves data are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and
related future net revenue as at August 31, 2009, estimated using forecast
prices and costs.

|
The
Reserves Data are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Reserves Data based on our
evaluation.
|
|
|
We
carried out our evaluation in accordance with standards set out in the
Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook"), prepared
jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter)
and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum
(Petroleum Society).
|
|
3.
|
Those
standards require that we plan and perform an evaluation to obtain
reasonable assurance as to whether the reserves data are free of material
misstatement. An evaluation also includes assessing whether the reserves
data are in accordance with principles and definitions presented in the
COGE Handbook.
