FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this presentation contains statements concerning anticipated: (i) potential development
opportunities and drilling locations, expectations and assumptions concerning the success of future drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells,
the performance of new wells, decline rates, recovery factors, the successful application of technology and the geological characteristics of Surge’s properties, (ii) cash
flow, (iii) the timing and amount of future dividend payments, (iv) oil & natural gas production growth during 2013 and 2014, (v) debt and bank facilities, (vi) hedging
results, (vii) primary and secondary recovery potentials and implementation thereof, (viii) potential acquisitions, (ix) potential dispositions, (x) drilling, completion and
operating costs, and (xiii) realization of anticipated benefits of acquisitions.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Surge, including expectations and assumptions concerning the performance
of existing wells and success obtained in drilling new wells, anticipated expenses, cash flow and capital expenditures and the application of regulatory and royalty regimes.
Although Surge believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on
the forward-looking statements because Surge can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and
conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of
factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and
production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of
estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations and
uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures. Certain of these risks are set
out in more detail in Surge’s Annual Information Form which has been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.
The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and Surge undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forwardlooking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
This presentation contains the term “netbacks” which is not a term recognized under IFRS Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company uses this
measure to help evaluate its performance as well as to evaluate acquisitions. The Company considers netbacks as a key measure as it demonstrates its profitability relative
to current commodity prices. Operating netbacks are calculated by taking total revenues (excluding derivative gains and losses) and subtracting royalties, operating expenses
and transportations costs on a per boe basis.
Note: Boe means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 1 boe to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion
ratio of 1 boe for 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead. Boe/d means barrel of oil equivalent per day.
In this presentation: (i) mcf means thousand cubic feet; (ii) mcf/d means thousand cubic feet per day (iii) mmcf means million cubic feet; (iv) mmcf/d means million cubic
feet per day; (v) bbls means barrels; (vi) mbbls means thousand barrels; (vii) mmbbls means million barrels; (viii) bbls/d means barrels per day; (ix) bcf means billion cubic
feet; (x) mboe means thousand barrels of oil equivalent; (xi) mmboe means million barrels of oil equivalent and (xii) boe/d means barrels of oil equivalent per day.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


Q1/14 Drilling/Waterflood Results – Better Than Expected:
• 100% drilling success in Q1/14; exit rate increased to 16,850 boed (85% oil & NGLs)
and 21,350 boed (84% oil & NGLs) proforma strategic business combination with
Longview
• Large new pool discovery in the Upper Shaunavon
 125 mm OOIP
 Discovery well is > 300 bopd
 > 64 additional locations!

Announced a $429 million Strategic Business Combination on March 31, 2014:
• Adds more than 375 million boe of OOIP (1); post-closing Surge will have over 1.9
billion barrels of light and medium gravity OOIP under the Company's ownership and
management
• An excellent asset fit that is accretive on all metrics
• Proposed dividend increase of 11%; to $0.60/share
• Lowered “all-in” sustainability ratio to <89%

Solid Organic and Acquisition Reserve Results:
• Replaced 196% of production through organic 2P reserve additions on F&D (incl.
change in FDC) of $17.03/boe achieving a 2.5x recycle ratio;
• Four year weighted average F&D recycle ratio of 2.0x;
• 2P reserve additions on FD&A (incl. change in FDC) of $27.27/boe (1.5x recycle
ratio); and
• Increased Proved plus Probable reserves by 59% to 73.5 million boe
(1) Original Oil in Place (OOIP) is the equivalent to Total Petroleum Initially In Place (TPIIP) for the purposes of this press release. TPIIP is defined
as 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.
There is no certainty that any portion of the undiscovered resources will be discovered. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion
of the resources. A recovery project cannot be defined for this volume of TPIIP at this time, and as such it cannot be further sub-categorized. as defined in this presentation.
WHY OWN SURGE ENERGY?
 Low risk, high quality, crude oil asset and opportunity base;
>12 year RLI (with 2 years of FDC/cash flow); Very low “all-in”
sustainability ratio (<89%); NO DRIP
 Excellent replacement metrics/capital efficiencies
(<$29,000/boepd); 10 year inventory of low risk development
drilling locations; largely unbooked waterflood upside
 One of the best balance sheets in peer group
 Enterprise value(1) ~$1.4 billion; Market capitalization(1) >$1.1
billion; Excellent liquidity
(1) Based on a share price of $6.30.
4
SURGE ENERGY INC.
 Elite, operated, large OOIP crude oil reservoirs, with low recovery
factors; over 1.5 Billion barrels of OOIP under management - with
current recovery factor of 10%; proforma the LNV combination
over 1.9 Billion barrels of OOIP under management
 Strong balance sheet; ongoing risk management/hedging
program
 Experienced management team with proven track records
5
KEY VALUE DRIVERS (RISK ADJUSTED)
1. 3-5% organic annual per share growth in
reserves, production and cash flow; and
2. >8% dividend yield; and
3. Debt reduction (i.e. due to low
sustainability ratio); increases NAV; and
4. Accretive acquisitions.

RISK MANAGEMENT/HEDGING STRATEGY
Oil Hedges
•
The Company has an orderly, on-going,
risk management / hedging program
designed to lock in future cash flows
to protect the Company’s capex
program and fund dividends.
•
Surge has nearly 5,000 barrels per day
of WTI oil hedged on average for 2014
at CAD$97.07, 2,750 barrels per day of
WTI oil hedged at CAD$96.70 for the
first half of 2015 and 2,000 barrels per
day of WTI oil hedged at CAD$93.27
for the second half of 2015 .
•
Surge has 7,586 mcf per day of AECO
natural gas hedged at CAD$3.61 for
the remainder of 2014, and 3,793 mcf
per day of AECO natural gas hedged at
CAD$3.87 for 2015.
