Message for The Conference

There exists significant value in the Canadian energy industry.

Canadian energy prices, and more specifically natural gas prices remain at levels below supply cost for the industry.  Bellatrix’s position in one of the lowest supply cost plays and its leading finding and development costs provide significant upside potential to a recovery in natural gas prices.

Operational Highlight

Well results year to date have outperformed expectations, and its well costs have been reduced significantly down to $3.4 million to drill, complete, equip and tie-in.

Vision of the Company

Bellatrix has built a substantial infrastructure presence in its core area and management believes it has the capability to grow volumes to over 60,000 boe/d (from 35,000 boe/d currently) with minimal capital investment in future facilities.

With over 560 identified development locations in the Spirit River and Cardium formations alone, this equates to approximately 35 years of inventory compared with the estimated 15 net wells per year required to hold production volumes flat.
