This presentation contains certain forward–looking information and statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will",

"project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends“, “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information or statements. In particular, but without limiting the forgoing, this presentation

contains forward-looking information and statements pertaining to the following: the volumes and estimated value of Crew's oil and gas reserves; resource estimates and volumes in respect of Crew’s Montney lands in

N.E.B.C.; the volume and product mix of Crew's oil and gas production; production estimates including 2014 forecast average and exit productions; the recognition of significant resources in the Montney region of

northeast British Columbia; future oil and natural gas prices and Crew's commodity risk management programs; future liquidity and financial capacity; future results from operations and operating metrics; future costs,

expenses and royalty rates; future interest costs; the exchange rate between the $US and $Cdn; future development, exploration, acquisition and development activities and related capital expenditures and the timing

thereof; the amount and timing of capital projects; operating costs; the total future capital associated with development of reserves and resources; methods of funding our capital program including possible non-core asset

divestitures; and forecast reductions in operating expenses. In this presentation reference is made to the Company's long range Montney growth scenario. All information derived therefrom are not estimates or forecasts

of metrics that may actually be achieved. Such information reflects internal projections used by management for the purposes of making capital investment decisions and for internal long range planning and budget

preparation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on same.

The recovery, reserve and resources estimates of Crew's reserves and resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves or resources with be recovered. In addition,

forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of material factors, expectations or assumptions of Crew which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be

incorrect. Although Crew believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because Crew can

give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and assumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the impact of

increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which Crew operates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of Crew to obtain qualified staff, equipment

and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results; the ability of the operator of the projects in which Crew has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of Crew to

obtain financing on acceptable terms; field production rates and decline rates; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development and exploration; risks associated with the

degree of certainty in resource assessments; the timing and cost of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of Crew to secure adequate product transportation; future commodity prices;

currency, exchange and interest rates; regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which Crew operates; and the ability of Crew to successfully market its oil and

natural gas products. There are a number of assumptions associated with the potential of resource volumes assigned to the Evaluated Areas in Crew's Montney area of operations in northeast British Columbia, including

the quality of the Montney reservoir, future drilling programs and the funding thereof, continued performance from existing wells and performance of new wells, the growth of infrastructure, well density per section and

recovery factors and discovery and development of the Evaluated Areas necessarily involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in this presentation and including the business risks

discussed in Crew's annual and quarterly MD&A and other continuous disclosure documents. The forward-looking information and statements included in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such information and statements; including the assumptions made in respect thereof, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to defer materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information or statements including, without limitation: changes in commodity prices; the potential for variation in the quality of the Montney formation; changes in the demand for or supply of Crew's products; unanticipated operating results or production declines; changes in tax or environmental laws, royalty rates or other regulatory matters; changes in development plans of Crew or by third party operators of Crew's properties, increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inaccurate estimation of Crew's oil and gas reserve and resource volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital markets; increased costs; a lack of inadequate insurance coverage; the impact of competitors; and certain other risks detailed from time-to-time in Crew's public disclosure documents, (including, without limitation, those risks identified in this presentation and Crew's Annual Information Form). The forward-looking information and statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation, and Crew does not assume any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the included forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological,

geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of

certainty associated with the estimates as follows:

• Proved Reserves are those 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 are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. 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.

• Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated

proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Cumulative Production is the cumulative quantity of petroleum that has been recovered at a given date.

Resources encompasses all petroleum quantities that originally existed on or within the earth's crust in naturally occurring accumulations, including Discovered and Undiscovered (recoverable and unrecoverable)

plus quantities already produced. "Total resources" is equivalent to "Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place". Resources are classified in the following categories:

• Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place ("TPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a

given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered.

• Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place ("DPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of

discovered petroleum initially in place includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.

• Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development

but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include such factors as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory

matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as Contingent Resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage.

• Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place ("UPIIP") is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of

undiscovered petroleum initially in place is referred to as "prospective resources" and the remainder as "unrecoverable."

• Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects.

Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development.

• Unrecoverable is that portion of DPIIP and UPIIP quantities which is estimated, as of a given date, not to be recoverable by future development projects. A portion of these quantities may become recoverable

in the future as commercial circumstances change or technological developments occur; the remaining portion may never be recovered due to the physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface

interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.

• Uncertainty Ranges are described by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook as low, best, and high estimates for reserves and resources. The Best Estimate is considered to be the best estimate of

the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at

least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.

• BOE equivalent Barrel of oil equivalents or BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.

• Test Results and Initial Production Rates a pressure transient analysis or well test interpretation has not been carried out thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered to be

preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been completed. Test results and initial production rates disclosed in this presentation may not be necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of

ultimate recovery.

All amounts in this presentation are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Throughout the presentation, the terms Boe (barrels of oil equivalent), Mmboe (millions of barrels of oil equivalent), and

Tcfe (trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent) are used. Such terms when used in isolation, may be misleading. Where applicable, natural gas has been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") based on 6 Mcf:1

BOE and oil and liquids have been converted to natural gas equivalent on the basis of 1 bbl:6 mcfe. The BOE rate is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip, and

given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion ratio may be

misleading as an indication of value. The BOE rate is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalent at the wellhead. In

accordance with Canadian practice, production volumes and revenues are reported on a company gross basis, before deduction of Crown and other royalties, unless otherwise stated. Unless otherwise specified, all

reserves volumes in this news release (and all information derived therefrom) are based on "company gross reserves" using forecast prices and costs. Our oil and gas reserves statement for the year-ended

December 31, 2013 includes complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, and is contained within our Annual Information Form which is available

on our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

This presentation contains references to estimates of proved plus probable reserves attributed to the assets acquired by the Company pursuant to the Montney Acquisition. Such reserves reflect Company internally

estimated "gross" reserves prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator effective December 31, 2013 in accordance with the definitions and provisions contained in the COGE Handbook. Estimates of proved plus

probable reserves contained herein attributed to the assets being disposed of pursuant to the Alberta Gas Disposition reflect "gross" reserves assigned by the Company's independent reserves evaluator, Sproule

Associates Limited, effective December 31, 2013.

This presentation contains reference to Crew's updated independent Montney resource evaluation prepared by Sproule Associates Limited effective as of April 30, 2014, prepared in accordance with the Canadian oil and gas evaluation handbook (the "Montney Resource Evaluation"). Sproule was engaged to conduct an updated independent Montney Resource Evaluation of Crew's 452 net Montney sections located in northeast British Columbia (the "Evaluated Areas"). This presentation contains references to estimates of oil and gas classified as TPIIP, DPIIP, UPIIP, Contingent Resources and Prospective Resources in the Montney region in northeastern British Columbia which are not, and should not be confused with, oil and gas reserves. See "Definitions of Oil and Gas Resources and Reserves". TPIIP, DPIIP and UPIIP have been estimated using a zero percent porosity cutoff. The Prospective Resources have not been risked for chance of discovery. There is no certainty that any portion of the Prospective Resources will be discovered. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the Prospective (if discovered) or Contingent Resources. The Contingent Resource contingencies are identified as economic or non-technical; there are no technical contingencies. It should not be assumed that the estimate of net present value associated with the Contingent Resources disclosed in this presentation represents fair market value. Such estimate is based on certain assumptions and there are no assurances that such assumptions including forecast prices and costs, will be attained and variances could be material. Significant positive factors are historical drilling success and production history on the more fully developed Montney acreage, abundant well log and production test data. Potential negative factors include lack of long-term production history over the majority of the Evaluated Areas, lack of infrastructure, potential for variations in the quality of the Montney formation where minimal well data currently exists, access to the substantial amount of capital which would be required to develop the resources, low commodity prices that would curtail the economics of development and the future performance of wells, regulatory approvals, access to the required services at the appropriate cost and topographic or service restrictions.

Projects have not been defined to develop the resources in the Evaluated Areas as at the evaluation date. Such projects, in the case of the Montney resource development, have historically been developed sequentially

over a number of drilling seasons and are subject to annual budget constraints, Crew's policy of orderly development on a staged basis, the timing of the growth of third party infrastructure, the short and long-term

view of Crew on gas prices, the results of exploration and development activities of Crew and others in the area and possible infrastructure capacity constraints. As with any resource estimates, the evaluation will

change over time as new information becomes available.

Crew's belief that it will establish significant additional reserves over time with the conversion of Prospective Resource into Contingent Resource, Contingent Resource into probable reserves and probable reserves

into proved reserves is a forward looking statement and is based on certain assumptions and is subject to certain risks, as discussed below under the heading "Forward Looking Information and Statements".
