Canadian Oil Sands – Canadian Oil Sands – Operational Overview Operational Overview The Canadian Oil Sands rivals Saudi Arabia as the largest oil play in the world with 315 billion barrels of estimated recoverable resources - The oil sands are deposits of bitumen, a molasses-like viscous oil that will not flow unless heated or diluted with lighter hydrocarbons The vast majority of Grizzly’s acreage was acquired by the summer of 2007, by which time virtually all prospective acreage had been leased 20 Since making the strategic decision to invest in oil sands acreage, Gulfport has acquired the largest acreage position of any US independent producer through its participation in Grizzly Oil Sands ULC - Devon is the next closest with 75,000 acres Grizzly is developing a section of acreage known as Algar Lake with the intent of employing a method of in-situ extraction called Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) to produce the leasehold - First production estimated for the second half of 2011 with 2,500 barrel per day of net production on an estimated facility and well pair capital expenditure of $90 million net to Gulfport Potential for 3.65 million barrels per year, with approximately 900,000 barrels net to Gulfport Resource potential of approximately 100 million barrels per facility, with approximately 25 million barrels net to Gulfport Following the 2006 and 2007 winter drilling seasons, third party engineers DeGolyer & McNaughten issued a report estimating total bitumen in place for seven Grizzly properties as 11.9 billion barrels over an area of 152,564 acres for sand greater than 10 meters of thickness Alberta’s highly prospective oil sands land base is now essentially leased up and Grizzly is positioned to take advantage of the lease supply shortfall - Given that many of the leases offset viable projects, Grizzly’s non-concentrated land base increases the likelihood of multiple significant farm out and land swap opportunities Various Grizzly leases directly offset: Nexen/OPTI, ConocoPhillips, Imperial Oil/Petro-Canada, Encana, JACOS, Statoil, Chevron/Shell/Marathon, Value Creation, Athabasca Oil Sands & Laricina |
