At December 31, 2017, the Company's market capitalization was less than its net asset value, which was identified as an indicator of impairment of all assets. In addition, the decreased natural gas benchmark prices as compared to December 31, 2016 was a potential indicator of impairment for the Canadian assets. As a result, the Company completed impairment tests on all of its CGU's in accordance with IAS 36 and determined that the carrying amounts of the CGUs did not exceed their fair value less costs of sale.

Neither a five percent increase in the discount rate nor a five percent decrease in the forward price estimates used in the impairment assessments would result in an impairment loss on the West Gharib, West Bakr, North West Gharib or Canada CGUs.
