Exhibit 1

Supplementary Oil & Gas Information for
the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009

SUPPLEMENTARY OIL & GAS INFORMATION (unaudited)

This supplementary crude oil and natural gas information is provided in accordance with the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 932 – “Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas”, and where applicable is reconciled to the financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”).
 
NET PROVED CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES
 
The Company retains qualified independent reserves evaluators to evaluate the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves.
 
 
For the year ended December 31, 2009 the reports by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (“GLJ”) covered 100% of the Company’s synthetic crude oil reserves.  With the inclusion of the non-traditional resources within the definition of “oil and gas producing activities” within the SEC’s modernization of oil and gas reporting rules (“Final Rule”), effective January 1, 2010 these reserves volumes are now included within the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves totals.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, the reports by Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”) covered 100% of the Company’s bitumen, coal bed methane, crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 the reports by Sproule and Ryder Scott Company covered 100% of the Company’s bitumen, coal bed methane, crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves.

Proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, as defined within the SEC’s Regulation S-X, under the Final Rule, are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be  economically producible, from a given date forward, under known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Proved developed reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of drilling a new well; and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
 
Estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves are subject to uncertainty and will change as additional information regarding producing fields and technology becomes available and as future economic and operating conditions change.
 

 
 

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s proved and proved developed crude oil and natural gas reserves, net of royalties, as at December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006:

Prior to December 31, 2009 the Company’s Horizon SCO reserves were reported separately in accordance with the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.  With the SEC’s Final Rule in effect January 1, 2010, this synthetic crude oil is now included in the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves totals.
(2)  
Bitumen as defined by the SEC, under the Final Rule, “is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis.”  Under this definition, all the Company’s thermal and primary heavy oil reserves have been classified as bitumen.  Prior to December 31, 2009, these reserves would have been classified within the Company’s conventional crude oil and NGL totals.
(3)  
Revisions of prior estimates for the year ended December 31, 2007 include the impact of economic revisions due to prices.
(4)  
SEC reliable technology accounts for reserves volumes added due to the reserves rule changes.
(5)  
For continuity purposes, with respect to the transition from Industry Guide 7 into the SEC’s Final Rule, the following SCO table has been provided to illustrate the changes in the Company’s Horizon SCO reserves for the 2009 year.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS FROM PROVED CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES AND CHANGES THEREIN

The following standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from proved crude oil and natural gas reserves has been computed using the average first-day-of-the-month price during the previous 12-month period, costs as at the balance sheet date and year-end statutory income tax rates. A discount factor of 10% has been applied in determining the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The Company does not believe that the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows will be representative of actual future net cash flows and should not be considered to represent the fair value of the crude oil and natural gas properties. Actual net cash flows will differ from the presented estimated future net cash flows due to several factors including:
 
 
Future production will include production not only from proved properties, but may also include production from probable and possible reserves;
 
Future production of crude oil and natural gas from proved properties will differ from reserves estimated;
 
Future production rates will vary from those estimated;
  ● 
Future rather than average first-day-of-the-month prices during the previous 12-month period and costs as at the balance sheet date will apply;
  Economic factors such as interest rates, income tax rates, regulatory and fiscal environments and operating conditions will change;
 
Future estimated income taxes do not take into account the effects of future exploration expenditures; and
 
Future development and asset retirement obligations will differ from those estimated.
 
Future net revenues, development, production and restoration costs have been based upon the estimates referred to above. The following tables summarize the Company’s future net cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves based on the standardized measure as prescribed in FASB Topic 932 – “Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas”:
