[2] Kelt also has interruptible service on TCPL (AECO pricing), Alliance (CREC pricing), Spectra (Station 2 pricing) and Alliance priority interruptible (Chicago pricing). [3] Kelt expects to have weak realized natural gas prices in British Columbia during Q3 2015 due to low index pricing at Spectra Station 2. AECO (5A) was $2.71/GJ in Jul/15 and $2.80/GJ in Aug/15. Spectra Station 2 daily index pricing was $2.20/GJ in Jul/15 and $1.53/GJ in Aug/15. [4] Due to low/negative Alliance CREC prices to date in Q3 2015, Kelt has kept newly drilled gas wells shut-in and has not delivered to its spot interruptible Alliance CREC contracts.

[2] The interest rate swap fixes the B/A rate at 0.925% for two years. Using current stamping fees of 3.0%, this provides the Company with an all-in fixed borrowing rate of 3.925% on $100.0 million of bank debt. [3] The propane hedge was un-wound by Kelt in Q1 2015 for a realized gain of US$1.5 million (CA$1.8 million).

Facility Spending to result in Cost Savings 12 In each of its core areas, Kelt has embarked on projects that are expected to reduce corporate operating and transportation expenses: KARR: Pembina Pipeline Corporation announced the construction of a 30,000 bbl/d Karr Lateral pipeline and LACT Unit as part of its Phase III pipeline expansion. Upon completion in early-2016, Kelt will have all of its oil pipeline connected, eliminating trucking requirements. Water injection was implemented in Q2-15. POUCE COUPE/PROGRESS: Kelt is installing a LACT Unit at its 6-19 Progress battery and at the same time will run a liner through an existing pipeline to connect its Pouce Coupe oil and condensate to the Progress LACT Unit, eliminating oil trucking and third party terminal fees. In addition, several water injectors have been activated eliminating water trucking fees. VAHALLA/LA GLACE: a LACT Unit has been installed and water injection has been activated, eliminating higher costs to truck oil and fluids. BRITISH COLUMBIA: Kelt is currently converting an existing pipeline acquired in the Stoddart acquisition into an oil sales line that will deliver clean oil from Inga/Fireweed to a Company owned Pembina Terminal. A water injector was activated in Q2-15. Note: The Lease Automatic Custody Transfer or LACT Unit is the critical system in measuring the volume of crude oil and petroleum products when it is being transferred from the production site to trucks, pipelines or storage tanks.

Future Considerations 30 DRILLING INVENTORY: Kelt estimates that it has numerous years of drilling inventory on its existing lands to continue to grow the Company. BALANCE SHEET: Kelt maintains financial flexibility so that it can persevere during periods of declining commodity prices and pursue new opportunities as they arise. CRUDE OIL PRICES: the number of rigs drilling for crude oil in the U.S. declined to 652 in early September 2015, after peaking at about 1,600 in November 2014. With low current oil prices, we believe that global oil supply will eventually be negatively affected as a result of significant reductions in capital investment. We believe this will lead to higher crude oil prices in 2016. NATURAL GAS PRICES: the number of rigs drilling for natural gas in the U.S. declined to 196 in early September 2015, after peaking at about 1,600 in September 2008. Despite record high gas supply in the U.S. primarily due to higher productive shale wells, we expect U.S. supply will be negatively affected as declines on new production sets in. In addition, with a declining crude oil rig count in the U.S., associated gas production will also be negatively affected. We believe these factors bode well for natural gas prices in 2016.

Oil and Gas Advisories 33 Barrel of oil equivalent ( BOE ) amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel. This conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one 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. In addition, if applicable, sulphur volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at 0.6 long tons per barrel. References to oil in this presentation include crude oil and field condensate. References to natural gas liquids ( NGLs ) include pentane, butane, propane and ethane. References to gas in this discussion include natural gas and sulphur. In this presentation, reference may be made to OOIP or OGIP, meaning original oil in place and original gas in place, respectively, which are hereinafter collectively will be called discovered petroleum initially-in-place. Discovered petroleum initially-in-place is the 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-in-place includes production, reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. References to IP30 means initial production from a well for the first 720 hours (30 days) based on operating/producing hours. Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate hydrocarbon recovery. Estimates of the net present value of the future net revenue from Kelt s reserves do not represent the fair market value of the Company s reserves. The estimates of reserves and future net revenue from individual properties or wells may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties and wells, due to the effects of aggregation. Where discussed herein "NPV" represents the net present value of cash flow (after capital expenditures) discounted at the percentage indicated, with cash flow reflecting the indicated oil, liquids and natural gas prices, less internal estimates of operating costs and royalties.
Financial Advisories 34 All dollar amounts are referenced in Canadian dollars, except when noted otherwise. This presentation contains the terms funds from operations, operating income, operating netback, production per million shares, finding, development and acquisition cost and recycle ratio which do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies. Funds from operations, operating income and operating netbacks are used by Kelt as key measures of performance. Funds from operations, operating income and operating netbacks are not intended to represent corporate profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, profit or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Operating income is determined by deducting royalties, production expenses and transportation expenses from oil and gas revenue, after realized financial instruments and cash premiums. Operating netbacks are calculated by dividing operating income by aggregate production. Funds from operations are determined by adding back change in non-cash operating working capital to cash provided by operating activities. The Company calculates funds from operations per share using the same method and shares outstanding which are used in the determination of profit per share. Finding, development and acquisition ( FD&A ) cost is the sum of capital expenditures incurred in the period and the change in future development capital ( FDC ) required to develop reserves. FD&A cost per BOE is determined by dividing current period net reserve additions into the corresponding period s FD&A cost. Readers are cautioned that the aggregate of capital expenditures incurred in the year, comprised of exploration and development costs and acquisition costs, and the change in estimated FDC generally will not reflect total FD&A costs related to reserves additions in the year. Recycle ratio is a measure for evaluating the effectiveness of a company s re-investment program. The ratio measures the efficiency of capital investment by comparing the operating netback per BOE to FD&A cost per BOE.
