CSRi at a Glance

Total land holdings 40,000 acres

(62 sections)

Contingent resource*

Gething coals 12 – 16 bcf/section

Gething shales 11 – 17 bcf/section

Total contingent resource 1.4 – 2.0 tcf

Market cap / recoverable mcf $0.06 per mcf

*(Sproule Associates, April 17, 2006, Gething Formation only at Farrell Creek, B.C.)

Calculated on average contingent resource of 1.6 tcf at an estimated 60% recovery rate.

SPI

Unconventional Natural Gas

Unconventional natural gas includes natural gas from coal, shale gas, as well as gas from tight sands

Typically large, long-life resource

Unconventional natural gas is a rapidly growing sector in North America’s energy industry

Significant production in the U.S., 10 years ahead of Canada

SPI

Conventional vs. Unconventional Gas

Can evaluate with well logs

Immediate gas flow to well bore

May fracture to stimulate

Inorganic reservoir rock gas has migrated to reservoir trap

Permeability not depth dependant

Few wells to develop

Water/gas ratio increases

Reserve determination follows established guidelines

Needs specialized lab tests on cores

Gas diffuses slowly to fractures

Always fracture to stimulate

Organic reservoir rock is its own source rock

Permeability decreases with depth

Multiple wells and facilities

Water/gas ratio decreases

Requires production testing to demonstrate reserves

Substantial Resource Play

Total unconventional gas potential in British Columbia is estimated at 90 tcf, of which 60 tcf is located in the Peace River Coalfield (shown in dark blue on locator map) where CSRi’s Farrell Creek property is located.
