Reader Advisory
Barrels of Oil Equivalent
Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. Boe may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl (barrel) 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 from the
energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
Reserve Life Index
The reader is also cautioned that this corporate presentation contains the term reserve life index ("RLI"), which is not a recognized measure under IFRS. Management believes
that this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the length of time the reserves would be produced over at the rate used in the calculation. Readers are cautioned,
however, that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to other terms such as net income determined in accordance with IFRS as a measure of performance.
Chinook's method of calculating this measure may differ from other companies, and accordingly, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place
The Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook defines this term as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in know 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 defined in the COGE Handbook as those quantities of petroleum estimated 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 include
factors such 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. The Contingent Resources estimate and the DPIIP estimates are estimates only and the
actual results may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources
except to the extent identified as proved or probable reserves. Best Case 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 were used, there should be at least a 50 percent
probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.
Possible Reserves
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
Analogous Information
Certain information on the production profile and estimates of increased productivity rates on properties adjacent to Chinook’s properties, which is “analogous information” as
defined by applicable securities laws. This analogous information is derived from publicly available information sources which Chinook believes are predominantly independent in
nature. Some of this data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with
Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook. Regardless, estimates by engineers and geotechnical practitioners may vary and the differences may be significant. Chinook believes
that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to Chinook’s activities and forecasting, given its property ownership in the area(s); however readers are cautioned that
there is no certainty that the forecasts provided herein based on analogous information will be accurate.

Forward-Looking Statements
In the interest of providing potential investors with information regarding Chinook Energy Inc. ("Chinook"), including management's assessment of the future plans and operations
of Chinook, certain statements contained in this corporate presentation constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the
meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate”, "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "may",
"will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should", "believe", "outlook", "potential", "target" and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition,
statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the
reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. In particular, this corporate presentation contains, without limitation,
forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: budgeted amounts in fiscal 2015 and the expectations that such amounts will be spent in the manner, location and
timeframes set forth; the volume and product mix of Chinook’s oil and natural gas production on certain newly drilled wells; projected well costs; the operations to be conducted,
wells to be drilled and/or completed and the timing thereof on certain of Chinook’s properties, in certain cases, the expected increase in production volumes resulting therefrom;
and future development, exploration, acquisition and development activities (including drilling plans) and the timing thereof and related production expectations; as well as
management’s future expectations regarding production, cash flow, capital expenditures, net debt and credit facilities.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, Chinook has made assumptions regarding, among other things: future capital expenditure
levels; future oil and natural gas prices; future oil and natural gas production levels; ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out exploration and development
activities; the ability of the operator of the projects of which Chinook has interest in to operate in the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the impact of increasing
competition; and the ability to add production and reserves through exploration and development activities; the continued availability of adequate debt financing and cash flow to
funds planned expenditures. Although Chinook believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, and the
assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this corporate presentation, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or
expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause Chinook's
actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following: volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; the Board of Directors of
Chinook may amend the 2015 budget based on discretion; imprecision of reserve and resource estimates; failure to complete planned operational activities; unexpected decline
rates in wells; inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; delays in projects and/or operations resulting from surface conditions; general economic conditions in Canada, the
U.S. and globally; and the other factors described under "Risk Factors" in Chinook’s Annual Information Form dated March 27, 2014 available at www.sedar.com or on Chinook’s
website at www.chinookenergyinc.com. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this
presentation are made as of this date and Chinook does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
Any financial outlook or future oriented financial information in this corporate presentation, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of
