Who is Blackbird Energy?

Blackbird Energy Inc. is an emerging oil and gas exploration company

focused on the liquids-rich Montney fairway at Elmworth, near Grande

Prairie, Alberta:

75 sections (48,000 acres) of 100% working interest Montney rights

at Elmworth / Gold Creek

Highly productive Upper and Middle Montney reservoirs

Recent Middle Montney production test: 1,768 boe/d (>30% liquids)

Strategic growth strategy – acquire > delineate > de-risk > cash flow

Team in place with the skills and experience to develop the resource

Strong balance sheet

3Note: * $23 million in working capital pre commencement of the 2-20 drilling operations

increased:

Near proximity land sales have

seen multi-section packages go

for approximately $2.9 million

today with robust torque as

commodity prices increase

Infrastructure

Access to Infrastructure

Key for any E&P is access to pipelines & processing

Juniors have to solve this without significant dilution /

destruction of balance sheet

Near-term solution for takeaway:

Solution to handle our sour gas

Scalability starting from 5 Mmcf/d + associated liquids

Multiple options available

Infrastructure Optionality Provides Strength 12

Blackbird’s Infrastructure Solution

Note: Other than with respect to Blackbird, all data from public sources and not independently verified 13

Infrastructure is being focused on a resource play that works in

this current commodity price environment.

Up to 1.35 Bcf/d

of new processing

planned for this

area

LNG Opportunity

Currently there are 18 BC LNG projects being contemplated that

would represent almost 350 Tcf of gas resources

Some key facilities that look to be moving ahead are:

Kitimat (Chevron, Woodside) – 1.3 Bcf/d

Pacific Northwest (Petronas) – 2.7 Bcf/d

Aurora (CNOOC, INPEX, JGC Corp.) – 3.1 Bcf/d

WCC LNG (Imperial / Exxon) – 4.0 Bcf/d

Douglas Channel – 0.2 Bcf/d

LNG Canada (Shell et al) – 3.2 Bcf/d

Triton (Altagas, Idemitsu) – 0.3 Bcf/d

Above facilities equate to 14.9 Bcf/d

3.1 Bcf/d expansion of TCPL infrastructure in Grande Prairie area will

assist LNG projects

LNG provides future upside to North American gas production and

prices14Note: Data from page as per Cormark Secutiries

D&C Optimization

Drilling Optimization

First Upper Montney well – 39 days

First Middle Montney well – 49 days

Latest Middle Montney well (2-20) – 24 days

First Monobore in Elmworth / Gold Creek Montney

Modification of drilling fluids (Brine vs. Invert)

Rig selection (Ensign, hot Montney crew)

Selection of bit and motor combinations

Movement to multi-well pads (significant efficiency

gains)

16Innovation Driving Economic Recovery

Completion Optimization

Movement to sliding sleeve from plug and perf

Movement to single entry port vs. clustered intervals

Higher rates and tonnage (greater liquids rates,

shallower liquid declines, higher EUR)

Movement to energized foam from slick water for

testing purposes

Movement back to slickwater for long term cost

reduction and efficiency of operations

Objective: Higher EUR / Shallower Decline in Liquids

Innovation Driving Economic Recovery17

What Does This All Mean?

Blackbird 2-20 Well Results

Blackbird has recently released the results from its latest well, the 2-20.

The results are seen in the table below:

The 2-20 is one of the top-tier wells in the region for the Middle Montney

Infrastructure Development

Blackbird has established a near-term

solution for takeaway which can handle

sour gas:

Processing arrangement starting from 5

mmcf/d + associated liquids (~1,500

boe/d);

Ability to scale processing capacity

upwards from 10 mmcf/d to 30 mmcf/d;

Multiple options available for long term

capacity both north and south of the

Wapiti, which will allow production to

exceed 30 mmcf/d.

Blackbird sees four potential solutions

for future expansion above and beyond

30 mmcf/d.

Near Term Movement To Cash FlowNote: management estimate based on test rates and independent third party analysis 23

Resource Development

Next Steps:

Proceed with development on Western Acreage (70% Upper, 30% Middle)

Staged, Low Risk Development Plan24

shareholders and that has shown an ability to

solve the impediments of success

Blackbird has committed to offset its environmental impact

through planting trees in NW Alberta with the Carbon Farmer

Asking stakeholders and friends to support initiative as well

Goal of 100,000 trees

Blackbird has committed 5,000 trees

National Bank Financial has committed 7,000 trees

Raymond James has committed to 750 trees
