Disclaimers
  • Forward-Looking Statements
  • This presentation contains forward-looking
    statements including expectations of future
    production, cash flow and earnings. These
    statements are based on current expectations and
    assumptions that involve a number of risks and
    uncertainties, which could cause actual results
    to differ from those anticipated. These risks
    include, but are not limited to, risks associated
    with oil and gas exploration, development,
    exploitation, production, marketing and
    transportation, delays or changes in plans with
    respect to exploration or development projects or
    capital expenditures, volatility of commodity
    prices, currency fluctuations, the uncertainty of
    reserves estimates, potential environmental
    liabilities, technology risks, competition,
    incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions
    and failure to realize the anticipated benefits
    of acquisitions. The foregoing list of factors
    is not exhaustive. Additional information on
    these and other factors that could affect Berens'
    operations or financial results are included in
    Berens' reports on file with Canadian securities
    regulatory authorities.
  • The forward-looking statements contained in this
    presentation are made as of the date hereof and
    Berens does not undertake any obligation to
    update publicly or to revise any of the included
    forward-looking statements, whether as a result
    of new information, future events or otherwise.
  • BOE Presentation
  • Production information is commonly reported in
    units of barrel of oil equivalent ("boe").
    Readers and viewers should note that boe may be
    misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
    Because conversion is based on an energy
    equivalency primarily applicable at the burner
    tip, it does not represent a value equivalency at
    the wellhead. Where amounts are expressed on a
    boe basis, natural gas volumes have been
    converted to barrels of oil at six thousand cubic
    feet per barrel (61).
  • 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.

Strategy
  • Create long term SYSTEMATIC GROWTH through
  • Concentration in up to 4 core areas
  • Intensive use of geo-science (including 3D
    seismic), log analysis and engineering
  • Superior integration of in-house petroleum skills
  • Detailed technical economic selection of
    prospects
  • Focus on FD costs and recycle ratio
  • STICK TO OUR PLAN KEEP ON GRINDING

4
Growth Plan
  • Sustain production base in eastern Alberta
    (Lanfine area)
  • Continue to grow in west central Alberta through
    development of longer life reserves (Pembina
    Deep Basin)
  • Participate in selected exploration plays that
    provide entry into targeted areas (Marten Hills)
  • 4. Examine and selectively pursue accretive
    acquisitions (Berland Exploration)
