SPECIAL NOTES TO READER
Any "financial outlook" or "future oriented financial information" in this annual information form, as defined by applicable securities legislation has been approved by management of Crescent Point (as defined herein). Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
This annual information form and other reports and filings made with the securities regulatory authorities include certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" for the purposes of Canadian securities regulation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). All forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point has tried to identify such forward-looking statements by use of such words as "could", "should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may", "intend", "projected", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "potential", "projects", "grow", "take advantage", "estimate", "well-positioned" and similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Crescent Point believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this AIF or, if applicable, as of the date specified in this AIF.
In particular, this AIF contains forward-looking statements pertaining, among other things, to the following:
corporate strategy and anticipated financial and operational performance;
expected director tenure and the timing and effectiveness of director appointments;
forecast prices and the expected impact of commodity price fluctuations on cash available to pay dividends;

supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
expectations regarding the ability to raise capital and to continually add to reserves through acquisitions and development;
treatment under governmental regulatory regimes, including royalty regimes applicable to natural resources; and
risks related to the regulatory, social and market efforts to address climate change.
By their nature, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018, under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information". The material assumptions and factors in making forward-looking statement are disclosed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018, under the headings "Capital Expenditures", "Liquidity and Capital Resources", "Critical Accounting Estimates", "Risk Factors", "Changes in Accounting Policies" and "Outlook".
This information contains certain forward-looking estimates that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Crescent Point's control. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: financial risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given market conditions; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; delays in business operations, pipeline restrictions and blowouts; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; industry conditions, including changes in laws and regulations, the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, and changes in how environmental laws and regulations are interpreted and enforced; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; risks and uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations on tribal lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling, construction and processing problems; availability of insurance; fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions; general economic, market and business conditions; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; uncertainty of government policy changes; uncertainties associated with credit facilities and counterparty credit risk; tax laws and changes thereto, crown royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry; and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Crescent Point. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as each of these are interdependent and Crescent Point's future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time.
Statements relating to "reserves" and "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Actual reserve values may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth herein are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular



- 3 -    

group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. Crescent Point's actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material. In addition, the discounted and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not represent fair market value; and the estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. Therefore, Crescent Point's actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking estimates and if such actual results, performance or achievements transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, there can be no certainty as to what benefits Crescent Point will derive therefrom.
Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Operating netback is calculated on a per boe basis as oil and gas sales, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. Netback is calculated on a per boe basis as operating netback plus realized derivative gains and losses. Operating netback and netback are common metrics used in the oil and gas industry and are used by management to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis. The calculation of netback is shown in the Production History section of this AIF.
The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during the year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserves additions for the year.
Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Crescent Point's operations or financial results are included in Crescent Point's reports on file with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities (including our Annual Report on Form 40-F and Management's Discussion and Analysis). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking information, which is given as of the date it is expressed in this AIF or otherwise. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required pursuant to applicable securities laws. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to Crescent Point or persons acting on the Corporation’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
Presentation of our Reserve and Resource Information
Current SEC reporting requirements permit oil and gas companies to disclose Probable reserves (as defined herein), in addition to the required disclosure of Proved reserves. Under current SEC requirements, net quantities of reserves are required to be disclosed, which requires disclosure on an after royalties basis and does not include reserves relating to the interests of others. For a description of these and additional differences between Canadian and U.S. standards of reporting reserves, see "Risk Factors — Canadian and United States practices differ in reporting reserves and production and our estimates may not be comparable to those of companies in the United States".
New York Stock Exchange
As a Canadian corporation listed on the NYSE, we are not required to comply with most of the NYSE's corporate governance standards and, instead, may comply with Canadian corporate governance practices. We are, however, required to disclose the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the NYSE. Except as summarized on our website at www.crescentpointenergy.com, we are in compliance with the NYSE corporate governance standards in all significant respects.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
General
The Corporation is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company. The Corporation is a conventional oil and gas producer with assets strategically focused in properties comprised of high quality, long life, operated, light and medium crude oil and natural gas reserves in Western Canada and the United States. The primary assets of the Corporation are currently its interest in the Partnership, shares in CPHI, shares in CPUSH and, indirectly, shares in CPEUS.
The crude oil and natural gas properties and related assets generating income for the benefit of the Corporation are located in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba and in the states of North Dakota, Montana and Utah. The properties and assets consist of producing crude oil and natural gas reserves and Proved plus Probable (as defined herein) crude oil and natural gas reserves not yet on production, and land holdings.
We pay regular cash dividends to Shareholders from our net cash flow in accordance with our dividend policy. Our primary sources of cash flow are distributions from the Partnership. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we paid monthly dividends of $0.03 per Common Share. Commencing in 2019, we expect to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share. See "Dividends".
Strategy
We strive to enhance shareholder returns by cost effectively developing a focused asset base in a responsible and sustainable manner. Through the development of our assets, we aim to create sustainable, profitable and returns-based growth in reserves, production and cash flow.
We strategically develop our properties through detailed technical analysis including reservoir characteristics, petroleum initially in place, recovery factors and the applicability of enhanced recovery techniques. Our development strategies include, infill and step-out wells, multi-stage fracture stimulation of horizontal wells, re-completion of existing wells and secondary recovery techniques such as waterflood programs.
Risk Management and Marketing
Factors outside our control impact, to varying degrees, the prices we receive for production. These include but are not limited to:
(a)
world market forces, including world supply and consumption levels and the ability of OPEC and others to set and maintain production levels and prices for crude oil;
(b)
political conditions, including the risk of hostilities in the Middle East, South American and other regions throughout the world;
(c)
availability, proximity and capacity of take-away alternatives, including oil and gas gathering systems, pipelines, processing facilities, railcars and railcar loading facilities;
(d)
increases or decreases in crude oil differentials and their implications for prices received by us;
(e)
the impact of changes in the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars on prices received by us for our crude oil and natural gas;
(f)
North American market forces, most notably shifts in the balance between supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas and the implications for the prices of crude oil and natural gas;
(g)
global and domestic economic and weather conditions;



- 12 -    

(h)
price and availability of alternative fuels;
(i)
the effect of energy conservation measures and government regulations; and
(j)
U.S. and Canada tax policy.
Fluctuations in commodity prices, differentials and foreign exchange and interest rates, among other factors, are outside of our control and yet can have a significant impact on the level of cash we have available for payment of dividends to Shareholders.
To mitigate a portion of these risks, we actively initiate, manage and disclose the effects of our hedging activities. Our strategy for crude oil and natural gas production is to hedge up to 65%, or as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, of our net of royalty production up to a rolling three and a half year basis, at the discretion of management. The Corporation also uses a combination of financial derivatives and fixed-differential physical contracts to hedge price differentials. For differential hedging, Crescent Point's risk management program allows for hedging a forward profile of up to three and a half years, and up to 35% net of royalty production. All hedging activities are governed by our Risk Management and Counterparty Credit Policy and are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors.
As part of our risk management program, benchmark oil prices are hedged using financial WTI-based instruments transacted in Canadian and U.S. dollars and benchmark natural gas prices are hedged using financial AECO-based instruments transacted in Canadian dollars. Total financial oil and gas hedges in 2018 amounted to approximately 56% of annual production, net of royalties, consisting of approximately 58% of annual liquids production and approximately 32% of annual natural gas production, net of royalties. The Corporation recorded a realized derivative loss on crude oil and natural gas hedge contracts of $259.8 million in 2018.
Crescent Point also enters into physical delivery and derivative WTI price differential contracts which manage the spread between US$ WTI and various stream prices on a portion of its production. The Corporation manages physical delivery contracts on a month-to-month spot and term contract basis. From January to December 2018, approximately 15,600 bbls/d of liquids production was contracted with fixed price differentials off WTI.
Refer to the annual financial statements for our commitments under all hedging agreements as at December 31, 2018.
In addition to hedging benchmark crude oil and natural gas prices with financial instruments, we also mitigate crude oil basis risk by delivering a portion of our crude oil production into diversified refinery markets using rail transportation. Crescent Point operates three railcar loading facilities, serving its key producing areas of southeast Saskatchewan, southwest Saskatchewan and Utah. Crude oil volumes loaded at these facilities are sold at the loading facilities and our buyers are responsible for providing railcars and managing transportation logistics from that point until delivery at the refinery gate. By utilizing rail transportation, we have been able to access refining markets over the past several years that are not pipeline connected to western Canada or Utah, which diversifies price and market risk.
We mitigate credit risk by having a well-diversified marketing portfolio for crude oil and natural gas. Credit risk associated with the Corporation's portfolio of physical crude oil and natural gas sales and with the Corporation's commodity hedging portfolio is managed by Crescent Point's Risk Management Committee and is governed by a board-approved Risk Management and Counterparty Credit Policy that is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The Policy requires annual credit reviews of all trade counterparties. Credit limits are required to be set for all trade counterparties, which are based on either a fixed dollar amount which is set annually, at a minimum, or a percentage of the Corporation's portfolio calculated monthly. Crescent Point utilizes a diversified approach in both its physical sales portfolio and its financial hedging portfolio. The physical sales portfolio consists of 104 purchasers and its financial hedging portfolio consists of 16 counterparties. The Corporation's portfolio of counterparty exposures is monitored on a monthly basis.
To further mitigate credit risk associated with its physical sales portfolio, Crescent Point obtains financial assurances such as parental guarantees, letters of credit and third party credit insurance. Including these assurances, approximately 95% of the Corporation’s oil and gas sales are with entities considered investment grade.

Revenue Sources
Our crude oil and natural gas volumes are sold in the U.S., Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Approximately 71% of our liquids volumes are sold in Saskatchewan, 21% in the U.S., 7% in Alberta, 1% in Manitoba and less than 1% in British Columbia. Approximately 59% of our natural gas volumes are sold in Saskatchewan, 24% in the U.S., 17% in Alberta and less than 1% in British Columbia.
For 2018, our commodity production mix was approximately 90% crude oil and NGLs and 10% natural gas.
The following table summarizes our revenue sources by product before hedging and royalties:

Competition
We actively compete for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licences and concessions and skilled industry personnel with a substantial number of other oil and gas companies, many of which have significantly greater financial resources than we do. Our competitors include major integrated oil and natural gas companies, numerous other independent oil and natural gas entities and individual producers and operators. Similarly, we face a competitive market when we attempt to divest of non-core assets.
Certain of our customers and potential customers are themselves exploring for crude oil and natural gas, and the results of such exploration efforts could affect our ability to sell or supply crude oil or natural gas to these customers in the future. Our ability to successfully bid on and acquire additional property rights, divest property rights, to discover reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers is dependent upon developing and maintaining close working relationships with our industry partners and joint operators, our ability to select and evaluate suitable properties, and our ability to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
Seasonal Factors
The production of crude oil and natural gas is dependent on access to areas where development of reserves is to be conducted. Seasonal weather variations, including freeze-up and break-up, affect access in certain circumstances.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation had 1,004 permanent employees: 416 employees at our head office in Calgary, 90 employees at our Denver office, 419 field employees in Canada and 79 field employees in the U.S.
STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
Disclosure of Reserves Data
In accordance with NI 51-101, the reserves data of the Corporation set forth below (the "Reserves Data") is based upon evaluations by GLJ and Sproule with an effective date of December 31, 2018, and contained in the consolidated report of GLJ dated February 13, 2019 (the "Crescent Point Reserve Report"). The tables below are a combined summary of our crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves and the net present value of future net revenue attributable to such reserves as evaluated in the Crescent Point Reserve Report based on Sproule’s December 31, 2018 forecast price and cost assumptions. GLJ evaluated approximately 45% of the assigned total Proved plus Probable reserves and 34% of the total Proved plus Probable value discounted at 10%. Sproule evaluated approximately 55% of the assigned total Proved plus



- 14 -    

Probable reserves and 66% of the total Proved plus Probable value discounted at 10%. Sproule evaluated a majority of our southeast Saskatchewan assets including the Viewfield Bakken and Flat Lake Torquay properties in southeast Saskatchewan as well as southwest Saskatchewan assets including the Shaunavon and Saskatchewan Viking properties. Sproule evaluated their portion of the reserves using the Sproule forecast price and cost escalation assumptions. GLJ evaluated the Corporation’s Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba assets, as well as a portion of the assets in southeast Saskatchewan. GLJ also performed the evaluation of the Corporation's U.S. assets in North Dakota and Montana, as well as assets in the Uinta basin in Utah. These assets were all evaluated using the Sproule forecast price and cost escalation assumptions. GLJ prepared the total Crescent Point Reserve Report by consolidating the GLJ Canadian and U.S. evaluated properties with the Sproule evaluation using the Sproule pricing and cost escalation assumptions. The tables summarize the data contained in the Crescent Point Reserve 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 our reserves is stated without provision for interest costs, and general and administrative costs, but after providing for estimated royalties, production costs, capital taxes, development costs, other income, future capital expenditures, projected carbon tax costs, and well and location abandonment costs for only those entities assigned reserves by GLJ and Sproule. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue attributable to our reserves estimated by GLJ and 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 crude oil, NGL and 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 Corporation continuously monitors and reviews legislation concerning greenhouse gas emissions and the impact on our operations. Crescent Point has estimated financial impacts based on current carbon pricing levels as adopted in existing and proposed legislation, and reflected these within the reserves evaluation as of December 31, 2018 as an operating cost per unit volume of production. No U.S. jurisdictions that we operate in have legislated or proposed costs associated with carbon, or greenhouse gases. The total impact of the carbon pricing in the Crescent Point Reserve Report reflects a negative impact of 940 Mboe and $161.7 MM discounted at 10% before tax for total proved plus probable reserves.
The Crescent Point Reserve Report is based on certain factual data supplied by us as well as GLJ and Sproule's opinion of reasonable practice in the industry. The extent and character of ownership and all factual data pertaining to our petroleum properties and contracts (except for certain information residing in the public domain) were supplied by the Corporation to GLJ and Sproule, and were accepted without any further investigation. GLJ and Sproule accepted this data as presented and neither title searches nor field inspections were conducted.

Notes and Definitions
In the tables set forth above in "Disclosure of Reserves Data" and elsewhere in this AIF, the following notes and other definitions are applicable.
Reserve Categories
The determination of oil and gas reserves involves the preparation of estimates that have an inherent degree of associated uncertainty. Categories of Proved and Probable reserves have been established to reflect the level of these uncertainties and to provide an indication of the probability of recovery.
The estimation and classification of reserves requires the application of professional judgment combined with geological and engineering knowledge to assess whether or not specific reserves classification criteria have been satisfied. Knowledge of concepts including uncertainty and risk, probability and statistics, and deterministic and probabilistic estimation methods is required to properly use and apply reserves definitions.



- 19 -    

(a)
"Reserves" are estimated remaining economic quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on (a) analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; (b) the use of established technology; and (c) specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable and shall be disclosed. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.
(b)
"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.
(c)
"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.
(d)
"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.
(e)
"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 category (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 sub-divide 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.
(f)
"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.
Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves
The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are applicable to individual reserve entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves are presented). Reported reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:
At least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated Proved reserves; and
At least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable reserves.
A quantitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties. However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.
Additional Definitions
The following terms, used in the preparation of the Crescent Point Reserve Report and this AIF, have the following meanings:
(a)
"associated gas" means the gas cap overlying a crude oil accumulation in a reservoir.



- 20 -    

(b)
"crude oil" or "oil" means a mixture that consists mainly of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons, which may contain small amounts of sulphur and other non-hydrocarbons, that exists in the liquid phase in reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure and temperature. It does not include liquids obtained from the processing of natural gas.
(c)
"development costs" means costs incurred to obtain access to reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas from the reserves. More specifically, development costs, including applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:
(i)
gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the reserves;
(ii)
drill and equip development wells, development type stratigraphic test wells and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment and the wellhead assembly;
(iii)
acquire, construct and install production facilities such as flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds measuring devices and production storage, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal system; and
(iv)
provide improved recovery systems.
(d)
"development well" means a well drilled inside the established limits of an oil or gas reservoir, or in close proximity to the edge of the reservoir, to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
(e)
"exploration costs" means costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects that may contain oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory type stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in part as "prospecting costs") and after acquiring the property. Exploration costs, which include applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:
(i)
costs of topographical, geochemical, geological and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews and others conducting those studies (collectively sometimes referred to as "geological and geophysical costs");
(ii)
costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties, such as delay rentals, taxes (other than income and capital taxes) on properties, legal costs for title defence, and the maintenance of land and lease records;
(iii)
dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions;
(iv)
costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells; and
(v)
costs of drilling exploratory type stratigraphic test wells.
(f)
"exploratory well" means a well that is not a development well, a service well or a development type stratigraphic test well.
(g)
"field" means an area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field that are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata or laterally by local geologic barriers, or both. Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms "structural feature"



- 21 -    

and "stratigraphic condition" are intended to denote localized geological features, in contrast to broader terms such as "basin", "trend", "province", "play" or "area of interest".
(h)
"future prices and costs" means future prices and costs that are:
(i)
generally accepted as being a reasonable outlook of the future;
(ii)
if, and only to the extent that, there are fixed or presently determinable future prices or costs to which the Corporation is legally bound by a contractual or other obligation to supply a physical product, including those for an extension period of a contract that is likely to be extended, those prices or costs rather than the prices and costs referred to in paragraph (i).
(i)
"future income tax expenses" means future income tax expenses estimated (generally, year-by-year):
(i)
making appropriate allocations of estimated unclaimed costs and losses carried forward for tax purposes, between oil and gas activities and other business activities;
(ii)
without deducting estimated future costs that are not deductible in computing taxable income;
(iii)
taking into account estimated tax credits and allowances (for example, royalty tax credits); and
(iv)
applying to the future pre-tax net cash flows relating to the Corporation's oil and gas activities the appropriate year end statutory tax rates, taking into account future tax rates already legislated.
(j)
"future net revenue" means the estimated net amount to be received with respect to the anticipated development and production of reserves (including synthetic oil, coal bed methane and other non-conventional reserves) estimated using future prices and costs.
(k)
"gross" means:
(i)
in relation to the Corporation's interest in production or reserves, its "company gross reserves", which are its working interest (operated or non-operated) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of the Corporation;
(ii)
in relation to wells, the total number of wells in which the Corporation has an interest; and
(iii)
in relation to properties, the total area of properties in which the Corporation has an interest.
(l)
"natural gas" means a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon gases and other gases.
(m)
"natural gas liquids" means those hydrocarbon components that can be recovered from natural gas as liquids including, but not limited to, ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes plus, condensate and small quantities of non-hydrocarbons.
(n)
"net" means:
(i)
in relation to the Corporation's interest in production or reserves, its working interest (operated or non-operated) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus its royalty interests in production or reserves;
(ii)
in relation to the Corporation's interest in wells, the number of wells obtained by aggregating the Corporation's working interest in each of its gross wells; and
(iii)
in relation to the Corporation's interest in a property, the total area in which the Corporation has an interest multiplied by the working interest owned by the Corporation.
(o)
"non-associated gas" means an accumulation of natural gas in a reservoir where there is no crude oil.



- 22 -    

(p)
"operating costs" or "production costs" means costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities as well as other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities.
(q)
"production" means recovering, gathering, treating, field or plant processing (for example, processing gas to extract natural gas liquids) and field storage of oil and gas.
(r)
"property" includes:
(i)
fee ownership or a lease, concession, agreement, permit, licence or other interest representing the right to extract oil or gas subject to such terms as may be imposed by the conveyance of that interest;
(ii)
royalty interests, production payments payable in oil or gas, and other non-operated interests in properties operated by others; and
(iii)
an agreement with a foreign government or authority under which the Corporation participates in the operation of properties or otherwise serves as "producer" of the underlying reserves (in contrast to being an independent purchaser, broker, dealer or importer).
A property does not include supply agreements, or contracts that represent a right to purchase, rather than extract, oil or gas.
(s)
"property acquisition costs" means costs incurred to acquire a property (directly by purchase or lease, or indirectly by acquiring another corporate entity with an interest in the property), including:
(i)
costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease a property;
(ii)
the portion of the costs applicable to hydrocarbons when land including rights to hydrocarbons is purchased in fee; and

(w)
"solution gas" means natural gas dissolved in crude oil.
(x)
"stratigraphic test well" means a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Ordinarily, such wells are drilled without the intention of being completed for hydrocarbon production. They include wells for the purpose of core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic test wells are classified as (i) "exploratory type" if not drilled into a proved property; or (ii) "development type", if drilled into a proved property. Development type stratigraphic wells are also referred to as "evaluation wells".
(y)
"support equipment and facilities" means equipment and facilities used in oil and gas activities, including seismic equipment, drilling equipment, construction and grading equipment, vehicles, repair shops, warehouses, supply points, camps, and division, district or field offices.
(z)
"unproved property" means a property or part of a property to which no reserves have been specifically attributed.



- 23 -    

(aa)
"well abandonment and reclamation costs" means costs of abandoning a well (net of salvage value) and of disconnecting the well from the surface gathering system and remediating and reclaiming the site to original conditions. They do not include costs of abandoning the gathering system.

Notes:
(1)
Numbers may not add due to rounding.
(2)
The Corporation’s Canadian development strategy in 2018 included both step-out and in-fill development drilling, mostly in the Bakken and Torquay resource plays in southeast Saskatchewan; the Lower Shaunavon resource play in southwest Saskatchewan; and the emerging Duvernay resource play in Alberta. The Corporation also received 21.5 MMboe additional Total Proved plus Probable Improved Recovery bookings from the qualified reserve evaluators due to ongoing waterflood development activities.
(3)
The Corporation’s United States development strategy in 2018 included both step-out and in-fill development drilling, mostly in the Bakken and Three Forks resource plays in North Dakota; as well as a focus on horizontal well development in the Uinta basin resource play in Utah.
(4)
Negative technical revisions on Probable volumes are reflective of reserve volumes being transferred to Proven reserves categories as reserve confidence grows and locations are converted from Probable reserves to Proved plus Probable reserves, through either offset drilling increasing confidence in location bookings, or actual conversion of the location to developed (well) reserves.
Performance-based negative revisions were observed on existing primary (non-waterflood) Tight Oil assets including Viewfield Bakken, Flat Lake Torquay and Shaunavon resource assets, representing a large portion of the revisions in this category. The net Total Proved plus Probable impact represented here is only 1.6% of the prior year Corporate Total Proved plus Probable reserves.
Negative Technical Revisions were observed in the Corporations conventional assets in southeast Saskatchewan due to a full reassessment of the location inventory, which resulted in removal of a number of prior booked locations, many of which were replaced by locations in adjacent lands reflected as Extensions and Improved Recovery.
(5)
In Utah, the Corporation reduced its vertical location inventory by 111 (81.8 net) locations in Total Proved reserves for a total of 6.9 MMboe; and 294 (129.1 net) locations in Total Proved plus Probable reserves for a total of 14.2 MMboe. These locations were both economic and technically feasible, however, due to a low likelihood of development within five years, are more appropriate to be considered as Contingent Resources.
(6)    Various Light and Medium Crude Oil assets in southeast Saskatchewan and Viking assets in Alberta were disposed during the year.
(7)    Non-core assets operated and non-operated were disposed in North Dakota.
(8)
The Corporation produced an average of 140,027 boe per day in Canada, 38,139 boe per day in the United States for a total of 178,166 boe per day.

Undeveloped Reserves
The following discussion generally describes the basis on which we attribute Proved and Probable undeveloped reserves. Our near-term plans for developing our undeveloped reserves are described in the section "Major Oil and Gas Properties".
Proved Undeveloped Reserves
Proved Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure is required to render them capable of production. These reserves represent a high degree of certainty to be recoverable, and may relate to planned infill drilling, lease-line as well as offset locations to current producing entities.

The Corporation has extensive Proved development opportunities that are prioritized based on a disciplined set of criteria including, but not limited to time for payout, rate of return, maturity of land tenure, reserve booking opportunities, proximity to transportation and marketing, as well as anticipated production rates. With this extensive portfolio of opportunities, it would be unrealistic both from a cash flow as well as physical ability, to completely execute on the entire portfolio of booked opportunities within two years.
The development of these reserves have been based on recent and current capital activity levels, with no material deferrals of development opportunities beyond these normal budgetary constraints. The majority of these reserves are planned to be on stream within a three year timeframe, which represents approximately 75% of the net undeveloped location count, as well as 74% of the net total future development capital. These development activities are directed mostly to the Corporation's focus areas of Southeast Saskatchewan, Southwest Saskatchewan and Utah regions.
The following table provides the timing of the initial reserve assignments for the Corporation's gross Proved Undeveloped reserves.
