For additional information about Vermilion, including Vermilion's statement of reserves data and other information in Form 51-101F1, report on reserves data by independent qualified reserves evaluator or auditor in Form 51-101F2 and report of management and directors on oil and gas disclosure in Form 51-101F3, please review the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015, to be filed on March 4, 2016 and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov.
HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Total proved ("1P") reserves increased 6% to 160.7 mmboe(1), whiletotal proved plus probable ("2P") reserves also increased 6% to 260.9 mmboe(1). This represents year-over-year 1P and 2P per share reserves growth of 2% and 1%, respectively. |
| · | Finding and Development ("F&D")(2) and Finding, Development and Acquisition ("FD&A")(2) costs, including Future Development Capital ("FDC") for 2015 on a 2P basis decreased 48% to $8.98/boe and 55% to $10.03/boe, respectively. Similarly, our three-year F&D and FD&A, including FDC, on a 2P basis were $14.82/boe and $17.81/boe, respectively. |
| · | Achieved a $212.6 million (12%) reduction in FDC costs attributable our existing assets through reductions in drilling, completions and facility capital costs. This was partially offset by the addition of $38.4 million of FDC related to properties acquired during the year resulting in a net reduction in FDC of 11% to $1.6 billion in 2015. |
| · | Recycle ratio (including FDC) was 3.6x during 2015, an increase over 3.2x achieved during 2014, indicating that Vermilion has been able to maintain our high level of investment efficiency despite the decline in commodity prices. |
| · | In 2015, we added 34.0 mmboe of 2P reserves with 30.5 mmboe (90%) of additions coming from exploration and development ("E&D") activities and 3.5 mmboe (10%) of additions through acquisitions. |
| · | Replaced 152% of production at the 2P level through E&D related activities and 170% including acquisitions. At a 1P level, we replaced 142% and 146% of 2015 production, respectively. |
| · | Increased Proved Developed Producing ("PDP") reserves by 25% to 110.4 mmboe at an average F&D cost (including FDC) of $10.67/boe resulting in a recycle ratio (including FDC) of 3.0x. PDP reserves represent 69% of 1P reserves in 2015 as compared to 58% in 2014. |
| · | Positive technical revisions of 2.0 mmboe on a 2P basis resulting from strong well performance were more than offset by 10.3 mmboe of revisions due to the decrease in commodity prices since year-end 2014. Only 4% of the economic revisions occurred outside of Canada, reflecting the continued high quality of our reserves attributable to our international operations. |
| · | Our independent GLJ 2015 Resource Assessment(3) indicates low, best, and high estimates for contingent resources in the Development Pending category are 95.1(3) mmboe, 160.7(3) mmboe, and 254.7(3) mmboe, respectively. Approximately 80% of our best estimate contingent resources evaluated reside in the Development Pending category, reflecting the high quality nature of our contingent resource base. |
| · | At year-end 2015, 2P reserves were comprised of 30% Brent-based light crude, 17% North American-based light crude, 11% natural gas liquids, 20% European natural gas and 22% North American natural gas. |
| · | Achieved a reserve life index for 2P reserves of 11.7 years for year-end 2015 reserves based on annualized Q4 2015 production, compared to 13.6 years at year-end 2014. Year-end 2015 reserve life index for 1P reserves was 7.2 years, as compared to 8.4 years at year-end 2014. |
| · | Based on the continued success of our Mannville liquids-rich gas play in Alberta, our 2015 activities resulted in an additional 35 (23.2 net) undeveloped wells booked at the 2P level, with average net reserves of approximately 620 mboe/well. Additionally, we added a further 14 (9 net) undeveloped wells that were attributed to lands acquired in 2015. |
| · | In the Paris Basin, we added 7.3 mmboe of 2P reserves, related to 18 development opportunities, including 15 new additions and strong upward revisions related to well performance and expanded waterflood response. Well additions and successful workover and optimization campaigns in the Aquitaine Basin in France added a further 2.8 mmboe of 2P reserves. |
| · | We added an additional 1.9 mmboe of 2P reserves to our Slootdorp-06 well (92.8 working interest) related to the discovery in the Rotliegend formation and an additional 1.5 mmboe of 2P reserves to our Slootdorp-07 well (92.8% working interest) related to the discovery in the Zechstein formation). |
(1) | As evaluated by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. ("GLJ") in a report dated February 8, 2016 with an effective date of December 31, 2015. |
(2) | F&D (finding and development) and FD&A (finding, development and acquisition) costs are used as a measure of capital efficiency and are calculated by dividing the applicable capital costs for the period, including the change in undiscounted future development capital ("FDC"), by the change in the reserves, incorporating revisions and production, for the same period. |
(3) | Vermilion retained GLJ to conduct an independent resource evaluation dated February 8, 2016 to assess contingent resources across all of the Company's key operating regions with an effective date of December 31, 2015 (the "GLJ 2015 Resource Assessment"). The associated chance of development for each of the low, best and high estimate for contingent resources in the Development Pending category are 83%, 82% and 81%, respectively. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. |

RESERVES, FUTURE NET REVENUE AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves and the value of future net revenue of Vermilion as evaluated by GLJ, independent petroleum engineering consultants in Calgary in a report dated February 8, 2016 with an effective date of December 31, 2015 (the "GLJ 2015 Reserves Evaluation"). The GLJ 2015 Reserves Evaluation was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 and COGEH.
Reserves and other oil and gas information in this news release is effective December 31, 2015 unless otherwise stated.
All evaluations of future net production revenue set forth in the tables below are stated after overriding and lessor royalties, Crown royalties, freehold royalties, mineral taxes, direct lifting costs, normal allocated overhead and future capital investments, including abandonment and reclamation obligations. Future net production revenues estimated by the GLJ 2015 Reserves Evaluation do not represent the fair market value of the reserves. Other assumptions relating to the costs, prices for future production and other matters are included in the GLJ 2015 Reserve Evaluation. There is no assurance that the future price and cost assumptions used in the GLJ 2015 Reserves Evaluation will prove accurate and variances could be material.
Reserves for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United States are established using deterministic methodology. Total proved reserves are established at the 90 percent probability (P90) level. There is a 90 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P90 reserves. Total proved plus probable reserves are established at the 50 percent probability (P50) level. There is a 50 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P50 reserves.
Estimates of reserves have been made assuming that development of each property, in respect of which estimates have been made, will occur without regard to the availability of funding required for that development.
With respect to finding and development costs, the aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.
Pricing used in the forecast price estimates is set forth in the table below and referenced in the notes to subsequent tables.

Notes: |
(1) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth below. See "Forecast Prices used in Estimates". The NGL price is an aggregate of the individual natural gas liquids prices used in the Total Proved plus Probable evaluation. GLJ is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101. |
(2) | "Gross Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion. "Net Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in reserves. |
(3) | "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. |
(4) | "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. |
(5) | "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. |
(6) | "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. |
(7) | "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. |
(8) | "Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, 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. |

(2) | "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. |
(3) | "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. |
(4) | "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. |
(5) | "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 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 are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, 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. |

Notes: |
(1) | "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 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) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth above. See "Forecast Prices used in Estimates". The NGL price is an aggregate of the individual natural gas liquids prices used in the Total Proved plus Probable evaluation. GLJ is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101. |
(4) | For reporting purposes, "Total Oil" is the sum of Light Crude oil and Medium Crude Oil, Heavy Oil and Tight Oil. For reporting purposes, "Total Gas" is the sum of Conventional Natural Gas, Coal Bed Methane and Shale Natural Gas. |
(5) | "Coal Bed Methane" and "Shale Natural Gas" were considered "Unconventional Natural Gas" in previous years. NI 51-5101 no longer differentiates between conventional and unconventional activities. |
The table below sets out the future development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to total proved reserves and total proved plus probable reserves (using forecast prices and costs).

(1) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth above.

Vermilion expects to source its capital expenditure requirements from internally generated cash flow and, as appropriate, from Vermilion's existing credit facility or equity or debt financing. It is anticipated that costs of funding the future development costs will not impact development of its properties or Vermilion's reserves or future net revenue.
CONTINGENT RESOURCES
Vermilion retained GLJ to conduct an independent resource evaluation to assess contingent resources across all of the Company's key operating regions with an effective date of December 31, 2015 (the "GLJ Resources Assessment"). All contingent resources evaluated in the GLJ Resources Assessment were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2015.
A range of contingent resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ. See notes 6 to 8 of the tables below for a description of low estimate, best estimate and high estimate.
The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated contingent resources of 95.1 million boe (low estimate) to 254.7 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 160.7 million boe. Contingent resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.
An estimate of risked net present value of future net revenue of contingent resources is preliminary in nature and is provided to assist the reader in reaching an opinion on the merit and likelihood of the company proceeding with the required investment. It includes contingent resources that are considered too uncertain with respect to the chance of development to be classified as reserves. There is uncertainty that the risked net present value of future net revenue will be realized.
Summary information regarding contingent resources and net present value of future net revenues from contingent resources are set forth below and are derived, in each case, from the GLJ Resources Assessment. The GLJ Resources Assessment was prepared in accordance with COGEH and NI-51-101 by GLJ, an independent qualified reserve evaluator.

Notes: |
(1) | The contingent resource assessments were prepared by GLJ in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the COGEH and NI 51-101. Contingent resource is defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources. The estimates of contingent resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated, as at a given date, and that the resources can be profitably produced in the future. The risked net present value of the future net revenue from the contingent resources does not necessarily represent the fair market value of the contingent resources. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. |
(2) | GLJ prepared the estimates of contingent resources shown for each property using deterministic principles and methods. Probabilistic aggregation of the low and high property estimates shown in the table might produce different total volumes than the arithmetic sums shown in the table. |
(3) | The forecast price and cost assumptions utilized in the year-end 2015 reserves report were also utilized by GLJ in preparing the contingent resource assessments. See "GLJ December 31, 2015 Forecast Prices" in Vermilion's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015. |
(4) | "Gross" Contingent Resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion. "Net" Contingent Resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in Contingent Resources. |
(5) | The risked net present value of future net revenue attributable to the contingent resources does not necessarily represent the fair market value of the contingent resources. Estimated abandonment and reclamation costs have been included in the evaluation. |
(6) | This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate. |
(7) | This is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. |
(8) | This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. |
(9) | The Chance of Development (CoDev) is the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will be commercially developed. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDev as follows: |
| · CoDev = Ps (Economic Factor) × Ps (Technology Factor) × Ps (Development Plan Factor) ×Ps (Development Timeframe Factor) × Ps (Other Contingency Factor) wherein · Ps is the probability of success · Economic Factor - For reserves to be assessed, a project must be economic. With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures uncertainty in the assessment of economic status principally due to uncertainty in cost estimates and marketing options. Economic viability uncertainty due to technology is more aptly captured with the Technology Factor. The Economic Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development pending and for projects with a development study or pre-development study with a robust rate of return. A robust rate of return means that the project retains economic status with variation in costs and/or marketing plans over the expected range of outcomes for these variables. · Technology Factor - For reserves to be assessed, a project must utilize established technology. With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in the viability of the proposed technology for the subject reservoir, namely, the uncertainty associated with technology under development. By definition, technology under development is a recovery process or process improvement that has been determined to be technically viable via field test and is being field tested further to determine its economic viability in the subject reservoir. The Technology Factor will be 1 for reserves and for established technology. For technology under development, this factor will consider different risks associated with technologies being developed at the scale of the well versus the scale of a project and technologies which are being modified or extended for the subject reservoir versus new emerging technologies which have not previously been applied in any commercial application. The risk assessment will also consider the quality and sufficiency of the test data available, the ability to reliably scale such data and the ability to extrapolate results in time. · Development Plan Factor - For reserves to be assessed, a project must have a detailed development plan. With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures the uncertainty in the project evaluation scenario. The Development Plan Factor will be 1 for reserves and high, approaching 1, for development pending projects. This factor will consider development plan detail variations including the degree of delineation, reservoir specific development and operating strategy detail (technology decision, well layouts (spacing and pad locations), completion strategy, start-up strategy, water source and disposal, other infrastructure, facility design, marketing plans etc) and the quality of the cost estimates as provided by the developer. · Development Timeframe Factor - In the case of major projects, for reserves to be assessed, first major capital spending must be initiated within 5 years of the effective date. The Development Timeframe Factor will be 1 for reserves and will often be 1 for development pending provided the project is planned on-stream based on the same criteria used in the assessment of reserves. With respect to contingent resources, the factor will approach 1 for projects planned on-stream with a timeframe slightly longer than the limiting reserves criteria. · Other Contingency Factor - For reserves to be assessed, all contingencies must be eliminated. With respect to contingent resources, this factor captures major contingencies, usually beyond the control of the operator, other than those captured by economic status, technology status, project evaluation scenario status and the development timeframe. The Other Contingency Factor will be 1 for reserves and for development pending and less than 1 for on hold. Provided all contingencies have been identified and their resolution is reasonably certain, this factor would also be 1 for development unclarified. · These factors may be inter-related (dependent) and care has been taken to ensure that risks are appropriately accounted. |

ABOUT VERMILION
Vermilion is an international energy producer that seeks to create value through the acquisition, exploration, development and optimization of producing properties in North America, Europe and Australia. Our business model targets annual organic production growth, along with providing reliable and increasing dividends to investors. Vermilion is targeting growth in production primarily through the exploitation of light oil and liquids-rich natural gas conventional resource plays in Canada and the United States, the exploration and development of high impact natural gas opportunities in the Netherlands and Germany, and through oil drilling and workover programs in France and Australia. Vermilion also holds an 18.5% working interest in the Corrib gas field in Ireland. Vermilion pays a monthly dividend of Canadian $0.215 per share, which provides a current yield of approximately 7%. Management and directors of Vermilion hold approximately 6% of the outstanding shares, are committed to consistently delivering superior rewards for all stakeholders, and have delivered a 20-year history of market outperformance. Vermilion trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VET.
Natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel equivalent of oil. Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Fund flows from operations, netbacks and recycle ratio are measures that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable with the calculations of similar measures for other entities. "Fund flows from operations" represents cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash operating working capital and asset retirement obligations settled. Management considers fund flows from operations and fund flows from operations per share to be key measures as they demonstrate Vermilion's ability to generate the cash necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital investments. Management believes that by excluding the temporary impact of changes in non-cash operating working capital, fund flows from operations provides a useful measure of Vermilion's ability to generate cash that is not subject to short-term movements in non-cash operating working capital. "Recycle Ratio" means a measure of capital efficiency calculated by dividing the operating netback of production by the cost of adding reserves. "Netbacks" are per boe and per Mcf measures used in operational and capital allocation decisions. After-tax cash flow netbacks are calculated as cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with IFRS) expressed on a per boe basis.
