ON OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURE
Form 51-101
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Glossary of Terms | | |
Reserves | | Estimated reserves of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil. |
Working interest | | Those lands in which the Company receives its share acreage of net production revenues. |
Gross reserves | | Estimated reserves before royalties based on working interest. Net reserves Estimated reserves after royalties based on working interest |
Future net revenue | | Working interest revenues after royalties, development costs, production costs and well abandonment costs, but before administrative, overhead and other such indirect costs. Future net revenue may be presented either before or after tax. |
NGL’s | | Natural gas liquids. Hydrocarbon components recovered from raw natural gas as liquids by processing through extraction plants or recovered from field separators, scrubbers or other gathering facilities. These liquids include the hydrocarbon components ethane, propane, butane and pentane plus, or combinations thereof. |
Proved reserves | | 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. |
Probable reserves | | Reserves that are less certain than proved reserves at being recovered. 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 |
Developed reserves | | 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. |
Developed producing reserves | | Reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of 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. |
Developed non-producing reserves | | 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. |
stb or stock tank barrel | | A 42-gallon barrel of crude oil at standard conditions of temperature and pressure. |
mbbl | | 1,000 barrels of oil and/or natural gas liquids. |
MMBtu | | A unit of heat equal to one million British thermal units. |
mcf | | 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas. |
bbl or barrel | | 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume of crude oil or natural gas liquids. |
Undeveloped reserves | | Reserves that are expected to be recovered from known accumulation where a significant expenditure is required to render them capable of production (e.g. in comparison to the cost of drilling a well). Such reserves must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification to which they are assigned (proved or probable). |

STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION FOR DYNAMIC OIL & GAS, INC.
This is the form referred to in item 1 of section 2.1 ofNational Instrument 51-101Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”).
The following information is related to our reserves, future net revenue and discounted value of future net cash flow of natural gas, natural gas liquids, light/medium crude oil and heavy crude oil. Sproule Associates Limited (“Sproule”), independent qualified evaluators of Calgary, Alberta estimated these reserves effective December 31, 2004. We used these reserves in the preparation of our Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
All our reserves are in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, Canada.
The reserves on our properties described herein are estimates only. Actual reserves on our properties may be greater or less than those calculated.
The estimated future net revenue contained in the following tables does not necessarily represent the fair market value of our reserves. There is no assurance that forecast prices and costs assumed in the Sproule evaluation will be attained, and variances could be material. Assumptions and qualifications relating to costs and other matters are summarized in the notes to the following tables.
The following tables provide reserves data and a breakdown of future net revenue by commodity and reserve category using forecast prices and costs and/or constant prices and costs, based on our working interest portion before royalties (gross) and/or after royalties (net) (see “Glossary of Terms”).
The pricing used in tables that reflect constant and forecast price evaluations is set forth in Items 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.
In certain instances, numbers may not total due to computer-generated roundings. In such cases, differences are not material and amounts presented are as shown in the Sproule Report.

Of our total proved reserves as at December 31, 2004, only 10% were undeveloped. Most of our undeveloped proved reserves are located where there is capital required to tie in tested wells. A portion of these projects have already been completed in the first quarter of 2005 and the remaining projects are expected for completion by the end of 2005. One of the projects is not scheduled for completion until the currently-producing zone is depleted.
9
Item 5.1(2) Probable Undeveloped Reserves
Of our total probable reserves as at December 31, 2004, approximately 40% are classified as undeveloped. These probable undeveloped reserves relate to drilling projects at Cypress and Orion, British Columbia, St. Albert, Alberta and Mantario East, Saskatchewan, and a compressor project at St. Albert, Alberta. All of these projects are scheduled for completion in Fiscal 2005.
Item 5.2 Significant Factors and Uncertainties
The process of evaluating reserves is inherently complex. It requires significant judgements and decisions based on available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic 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 change. 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, reserve estimates also change. Estimates are reviewed and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by the new information. Revisions are often required due to 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 geologic conditions or production. These revisions can be either positive or negative.
Item 5.3 Future Development Costs
The table below sets out the future development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to proved reserves (using both constant and forecast prices and costs) and proved plus probable reserves (using forecast prices only).

- undiscounted | 3,678 | 4,258 | 17,320 |
- 10% discounted | 3,443 | 4,003 | 16,569 |
The future development costs are capital expenditures required in the future for us to convert proved undeveloped reserves and probable reserves into proved developed producing reserves.
On an ongoing basis, we will typically use internally-generated cash flow from operations, debt (where deemed appropriate) and new equity issues if available on favourable terms to finance our capital investment program. When financing corporate acquisitions, we may also assume certain future liabilities.

Item 6.1 Oil and Gas Properties and Wells
Item 6.1(1) Important Properties, Plants, Facilities and Installations
The following is information describing our important properties, plants, facilities and equipment.
St. Albert, Alberta | | St. Albert is located in central Alberta, northwest of the City of Edmonton and near the City of St. Albert. |
| | |
Geological Description | | The property is comprised of two reef structures that are associated with 16, separate pools of Cretaceous Age natural gas and Devonian Age crude oil that are stacked in seven productive formations. Four of the productive formations are natural gas and three are crude oil.For purposes of project identification, we refer to the two reef structures as the “north pool” and the “south pool”. In aggregate, both structures have historically produced in excess of 23.7 million barrels of crude oil and 121 billion cubic feet of raw natural gas. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We own 8,101 net acres (12,839 gross) of various crown and freehold petroleum and natural gas leases for a weighted average working interest of 63%. Of our net acreage, 28% is undeveloped. |
| | |
Seismic | | We own a 37.5% working interest in a proprietary 3D seismic database covering 12 square kilometers. |
| | |
Wells and Facilities | | We own a weighted average 75% working interest in 16 producing gas wells and a 75% working interest in nine producing oil wells. In addition, we own a 75% working interest in one oil battery, two saltwater disposal wells, one solution gas plant, one sour gas compressor, two sweet gas compressors and a 13 kilometer, 6” sour gas pipeline. |
| | |
Fiscal 2004 Activities | | In the north pool we drilled one successful well targeting remaining oil reserves in the Leduc D-3 formation and Wabamun D-1 formation. The well is completed in both formations and is presently producing oil from the Wabumun D-1 formation. Also in the north pool, we drilled one unsuccessful well targeting shallow gas in the Belly River and Edmonton formations. In the south pool, we acquired a new water disposal well to address future water handling and disposal associated with our oil production. We re-completed two existing natural gas wells in the Ostracod formation to further optimize sweet gas production. Further, we optimized our sweet gas compressor and upgraded our salt-water disposal facilities. |
| | |
Fiscal 2005 | | Outlook Our Fiscal 2005 budget continues to focus on production optimization. Two capital projects are planned to slow the natural decline rate of oil and gas production and to improve operating efficiencies. All projects are geared toward enhanced recovery of remaining crude oil and natural gas reserves from known pools. One development well is planned for Fiscal 2005 targeting remaining oil in the Leduc D-3 and Wabamun D-1 formations in the north pool. |
11
| | Our investment at St. Albert includes numerous wells and facilities in close proximity to urban areas. For this reason, we will continue our commitment to “STAMP” (“St. Albert and Area Multi-Stakeholder Project”), which we helped create to bring oil and gas operators, regulators, local government and special interest groups together in a forum for open dialog and information exchange. |
| | |
Halkirk, Alberta | | Halkirk is located in central Alberta approximately 168 kilometers northeast of Calgary. |
| | |
Geological Description | | This area is prospective for multiple, sweet natural gas-bearing Cretaceous Age sandstone reservoirs. The primary target for reserves is the Viking formation with an average net pay thickness of approximately five meters. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We own 6,336 net acres (6,720 gross) of crown and freehold petroleum and natural gas leases for a weighted average working interest of 94%. Of our net acreage, 45% is undeveloped. |
| | |
Wells and Facilities | | We own a 100% working interest in four producing Viking gas wells and an 80% working interest (before payout of our initial capital expenditures), in three producing Viking gas wells. After payout, our working interest will convert to 48%. All of our natural gas production is processed at the Maple Glen Gas Plant under a custom processing agreement with the plant’s third-party owner. |
| | |
Fiscal 2004 | | Activities During the year, production operations were maintained without significant capital expenditures. |
| | |
Fiscal 2005 | | Outlook Two infill development wells are planned and will target sweet natural gas in the Viking formation. Our existing gathering system will accommodate production from these wells. |
| | |
Peavey/Morinville | | Peavey/Morinville is located a short distance from our St. Albert field and is approximately 19 kilometers north of the City of Edmonton. |
| | |
Geological Description | | The area is comprised of natural-gas bearing sandstones and shales of Cretaceous Age that are structurally draped over highs in the Leduc D-3 formation. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We own 6,998 net acres (10,243 gross) of petroleum and natural gas rights for a weighted average working interest of 68%. Of our total net holdings, 33% is undeveloped. |
| | |

| | |
Fiscal 2005 | | Outlook Tie-in of one well and recompletion of another is planned for early in Fiscal 2005. |
12
Cypress/Chowade, British Columbia | | Cypress/Chowade is located in the foothills of northern British Columbia approximately 100 kilometers northwest of Fort St. John. |
| | |
Geological Description | | The area is prospective for multiple, natural gas-bearing Triassic Age and deep Mississippian Age carbonate reservoirs contained within classic foothill anticlines that trend northwest/southeast through the area. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We have crown petroleum and natural gas leases over 19,911 net acres (56,675 gross) for a weighted average working interest of 35%. Of our total net acreage, 75% is undeveloped. |
| | |
Seismic | | Our seismic database contains a total of 440 kilometers of licensed, trade 2D seismic data, as well as a 100% working interest in 15 kilometers of 2D proprietary seismic data. |
| | |
Wells and Facilities | | We have four producing and six standing natural gas wells. In the four producing wells, we own a 50% working interest. Our working interests in the six standing wells are: 50% in three wells; 100% in one; 30% in one; and 20% in the remaining well. In four of the ten wells in which we own a 50% working interest, our interest converts to a 30% working interest after payout. In addition, we own approximately 40% of an 8”, 19-kilometer sales line that crosses beneath the Halfway River and connects Cypress to the Sikanni Gas plant. We split delivery of our 2004 gas production to Cypress Gas Plant and Sikanni Gas Plant under separate third-party custom processing agreements. |
| | |
Fiscal 2004 | | Activities We participated in drilling five wells and completed an untested zone in an existing wellbore. These wells targeted multi-zone, natural-gas bearing reservoirs of Triassic and Mississippian Ages. Our working interests in the wells were: one at 100% working interest; three at 50%; and two at 30%. Of the five wells that were drilled, three were completed as potential natural gas wells and two were unsuccessful. We also participated in the construction of the 8”, 19-kilometer pipeline mentioned above. We also acquired 4,394 net acres (11,544 gross). During Fiscal 2004, costs related to three wells that were drilled and completed in Fiscal 2003 because the wells could not be classified as having proved reserves. Our working interest in two of these wells was 30% and 50% in the other. |
| | |
Fiscal 2005 Outlook | | We plan to participate, at a 30% working interest, in drilling two exploratory outpost wells and shoot 15 kilometers of 2D seismic. We also plan to have two of our six standing shut-in gas wells on stream in the first quarter of Fiscal 2005. The remaining two shut-in wells require further development in the area to meet threshold reserves necessary for tie-in. In addition, we have budgeted for our 30% share of the cost to add field compression. The current processing capacities of two gas plants in the area are expected to meet our processing needs in Fiscal 2005. We will continue to monitor and evaluate land acquisition opportunities in the area. |

Orion, British Columbia | | Orion is strategically located between the Sierra and Helmet natural gas fields approximately 56 kilometers west of the Alberta border and 112 kilometers south of the Northwest Territories border. The property is dissected by the Sierra Yoyo Desan Road, which provides year-round access for drilling operations. A large independent Canadian oil and gas company has referred to the regional Devonian Age Jean Marie carbonate reservoir in this area as “The Greater Sierra Gas Play” and has described the area as the largest gas play discovered in Western Canada. Orion is a part of this area and is a key element in our long-term growth strategy. |
| | |
Geological Description | | The area is prospective for natural gas exploration and development in Cretaceous Age Bluesky sandstone reservoirs and Mississippian and Devonian Age Debolt, Jean Marie and Slave Point formation carbonate reservoirs. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We hold under lease 46,802 net acres (66,614 gross) for a weighted average working interest of 70%. Approximately 91% of our net holdings are undeveloped. |
| | |
Wells and Facilities | | We own a 15% gross overriding royalty interest (before payout of our initial capital expenditures) in one potential Jean Marie gas well and a 100% working interest in one potential Bluesky gas well. The gross overriding royalty interest will convert to a 50% working interest after payout. Both wells are standing and awaiting further evaluation and area development. We also own a 100% working interest in two other standing cased wells with potential value for purposes of side-track drilling or water disposal. |
| | |
| | Two major pipeline systems terminate at the edge of our property. To the southwest, the Duke Energy Pipeline System connects to Fort Nelson for delivery to Washington State and to the northeast. The Duke Energy Field Services Pipeline System connects to Tooga Compressor Station for delivery to Alberta. |
| | |
Fiscal 2004 Activities | | During the first quarter, we conducted a two-phase 3D seismic program covering 90 square kilometers of the property. Interpretation of the seismic has identified several drillable targets on our land. During the third and fourth quarters, we drilled three wells targeting gas in the Bluesky and Jean Marie formations. Two of these wells were drilled at a 100% working interest and one well was drilled at a 50% working interest. One of the 100% wells has been production tested and cased as a potential gas well and the other two wells were unsuccessful. We drilled one well at 100% working interest, targeting gas in the Slave Point formation. The Slave Point well was cased and production tested but did not produce commercial quantities of gas. The well is a standing gas well with further sidetrack drilling potential. During Fiscal 2004, costs related to two wells that were drilled and completed in Fiscal 2003 were expensed due to unsuccessful efforts to develop proved reserves. Our working interest in these two these wells was 100%. |
| | |
Fiscal 2005 Outlook | | We plan to drill one development well in the first quarter, targeting gas in a producing Bluesky gas pool that directly offsets company- |
14
| | owned lands. We also plan to drill one exploration well in the fourth quarter targeting gas in a similar, but separate, Bluesky structure. Both wells are planned at 100% working interest. |
| | |
Mantario East, Saskatchewan | | Mantario East is located 30 kilometers southwest of the Town of Kindersley and 30 kilometers east of the Alberta Border. |
| | |
Geological Description | | The area is prospective for multiple Cretaceous, Mississippian and Devonian aged sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Primary targets include natural gas-bearing Viking, Upper Mannville and Bakken formations and heavy-oil in the Basal Mannville and Birdbear formations. |
| | |
Land Holdings | | We hold under lease 7,502 net acres (12,603 gross) for a weighted average working interest of 60%. Approximately 81% of our net holdings are undeveloped. |
| | |
Wells and Facilities | | We have 11 heavy-oil wells at Mantario East - five are in production and six are standing awaiting tie-in. In three of the five producing wells, our ownership is a 100% working interest (before payout of our original capital expenditures), converting to a 75% working interest after payout. In the two producing and the six standing wells, we own a 75% working interest. At Sandgren, we own a 100% working interest before payout in one cased and standing gas well that converts to a 75% working interest after payout. |
| | |
Fiscal 2004 Activities | | We discovered a new pool of oil in the Basal Mannville at Mantario East. The oil is classified by regulation as Basal Mannville heavy-gravity crude. The nearest analogs to our heavy-oil discovery is located directly west of us on lands owned by others (non-owned) at Marengo, Mantario North, and Mantario East. The nearest pools on non-owned lands at Mantario East, have produced over three million barrels of heavy-oil from 36 wells in pool sizes of approximately 800 acres. On our lands at Mantario East, the number of pools and their sizes has not yet been determined. In total, we drilled 15 wells in the Mantario area during the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal 2004. Of these, five were earning wells drilled at 100% working interest under a farmout agreement and 10 were non-earning wells drilled at 75% with an industry partner. The 15-well drilling program resulted in: five producing heavy crude oil wells, six cased and standing heavy crude oil wells; one cased and standing natural gas well; and three unsuccessful wells. |
| | |
Fiscal 2005 Outlook | | We have budgeted to drill four exploration oil and/or natural gas wells and a 15-well in-fill drilling program targeting Basal Mannville oil, a gathering system and an oil battery facility in Fiscal 2005. We also plan to equip and tie-in two of six standing oil wells in the first quarter of Fiscal 2005 and the remaining four in the second quarter. Funds have also been budgeted to acquire additional lands and seismic in the area. The gathering system and oil battery is a two-phase construction project. Phase I is scheduled for completion by April 1, 2005 and will include tie-in of eight oil wells to a central oil battery facility capable of processing up to 1,500 barrels of oil per day. Phase II will include tie-in of remaining wells as they are drilled and will expand the oil |
15
| | processing capacity of the battery to 2,500 barrels per day from an estimated 25 wells. |
| | |
Other Non-Core Properties | | Alberta properties include: Alexander; Stanmore; Westlock;Simonette; and Quirk Creek. Saskatchewan properties include: Elmore; and Rapdan. In total, these properties comprise 9,064 net acres (13,769 gross) with a weighted average working interest of 66%. Of our total net acreage, 71% is undeveloped. |
