Business Strategy In 2009 Seaview continued to execute its balanced strategy of acquiring, exploiting and exploring for high quality, long reserve life natural gas and light oil assets in Western Canada. Despite the challenges of volatile commodity prices and weak capital markets due the global economic crisis, Seaview's business plan continued to deliver strong growth in 2009. Record production levels for Q4-2009, of 2,729 boe/d, marks the Company's ninth consecutive quarter of growth since inception in Q4-2007. Seaview's management team continues to focus on consolidating high quality assets within the Company's core areas, with significant exploration and development opportunities. Operations highlights for 2009 include: - Successfully closed five property acquisitions, further consolidating the Company's core assets in the Peace River Arch. -- Highlighted by the complimentary Peace River Arch assets acquired from a senior producer for $26.6 million in June 2009 with a concurrent bought-deal financing with gross proceeds of $15.7 million. This acquisition consolidated Seaview's working interest in over 70% of the acquired assets focused in the Balsam and Boundary Lake areas of northwest Alberta. -- During the fourth quarter of 2009, Seaview purchased assets in four separate acquisitions for total consideration of $3.8 million. Each of the minor property acquisitions added high working interest follow-up drilling locations based on the successful third quarter drilling program. - Seaview drilled 11 wells (9.0 net) in 2009 at a 73% success rate. -- In the Peace River Arch, Seaview drilled 7 wells (6.6 net) at a 71% success rate. Results of the 2009 drilling program yielded 4 producing gas wells (3.6 net), 1 potential gas well (1.0 net), and 2 abandoned wells (2.0 net). One of the abandoned wells encountered the target reservoir but was abandoned due to operational problems and has subsequently been successfully re-drilled in the first quarter of 2010. -- As announced on November 19, 2009 the successful Q3-09 drilling program was expected to add over 1,400 boe/d of new production capacity. Three of the four successful wells were on online contributing a stable 1,500 boe/d net average production for the month of December. -- In southeast Saskatchewan, Seaview drilled 2 wells (1.8 net) with a 50% success rate. Both wells were exploration projects targeting potential light oil pools. The Company's exploration well in Rocanville (80% working interest) is cased as a potential Birdbear oil well, various completion options are currently being evaluated for this well. -- In the first quarter of 2009, Seaview participated in one successful exploration well (0.25 net) in the Harlech area of west-central Alberta. A total of five prospective reservoir zones were successfully completed highlighting the multi-zone nature of this resource style play. Further development activities in Harlech will be deferred contingent on an improvement in natural gas prices; -- In Wapiti, Seaview entered into a multi-well farm-in agreement where the Company will drill a total of four wells in 2009-2010 targeting bath natural gas and crude oil from the Cardium formation. In 2009, the Company participated in one successful vertical exploration well (0.32 net) which has been successfully completed and tested and is expected to be online in the second quarter. Activity for the winter program to date in 2010 included drilling five wells (4.0 net) at an 80% success rate. In the Peace River Arch, in Clayhurst, the Company re-drilled one Montney well (1.0 net) which has been successfully completed and tied in with initial rates expected to add over 80 boe/d net for Q2-2010 and drilled one unsuccessful well (1.0 net) at Boundary Lake. In Wapiti, Seaview drilled two wells (1.0 net) as part of the ongoing exploration program targeting the Cardium formation. One vertical gas well (0.32 net) was drilled and completed testing Cardium gas similar to the vertical exploration well drilled in late 2009. Seaview has now completed the earning phase on the gas exploration portion of the program having earned 32% in three sections of land on this Cardium natural gas resource play. Finally, Seaview has successfully drilled and cased the Company's first horizontal well in Wapiti targeting an early-stage light oil resource play in the Cardium formation. The horizontal well has been completed with a 10-stage multi-frac completion and is currently flowing on clean-up. Seaview has assembled a sizable land position offsetting the horizontal well with exposure to 11.5 sections of land (6.5 net) on this exciting new exploration play. The Cardium formation in Wapiti is known to produce both oil and natural gas regionally, however to date has not been developed using horizontal wells with multi-frac completion technology. Seaview estimates current behind pipe volumes of more than 850 boe/d from 7 wells (4.8 net). Of these volumes, it is anticipated that 5 wells (3.1 net) will be brought on-stream during the second quarter adding more than 250 boe/d net of new production. The remaining 2 wells (1.8 net) to be tied-in have initial production of more than 600 boe/d which may be tied in before year-end contingent on facility access and improved natural gas prices. Capital Efficiency and Reserve Additions The Company is pleased to report that a significant increase in reserves during 2009 as a result of its combined acquisitions and successful 2009 drilling program. The independent reserves evaluation has been completed by Sproule and Associates Limited "Sproule", with an effective date of December 31, 2009, in a National Instrument 51-101 "NI 51-101" compliant report "Evaluation of the P&NG Reserves of Seaview Energy Inc."

No future development capital is required to convert the Probable Producing reserves to Proven Producing over time; - Reserve Life Index is 7.2 years on a Total Proven basis and 11.1 years on a Total Proven plus Probable basis using December 31, 2009 reserves, and Q4-09 production of 2,729 boe/d; - Total capital expenditures based on audited financial results were $46.9 million; including changes in FDC total capital costs for the purpose of calculating FD&A costs are $47.4 million: -- Achieved FD&A costs of $14.99/boe Proven and $10.73/boe Proven plus Probable (Including changes in FDC); -- Seaview completed five strategic property acquisitions in 2009, highlighted by the complimentary PRA assets acquired from a senior producer for $26.6 mm in June 2009. Overall the acquisition program added 2,158 Mboe of Total Proven plus Probable reserves, or 47% of the Total Proven plus Probable reserve additions in 2009; and -- Seaview's acquisitions and drilling success replaced production by 3.7 times on a Proven basis and 5.4 times on a Proven plus Probable basis. - Seaview completed an active drilling program in 2009 which included drilling 11 gross wells (9.0 net) with a 73% success rate. Capital expenditures based on audited consolidated financial results were $16.5 million directed towards drilling activity. Including changes to FDC, the total capital costs for the purpose of calculating F&D costs are $19.1 million: -- Achieved F&D costs of $9.97/boe Proven and $7.75/boe Proven plus Probable (including FDC and after revisions); -- Seaview enjoyed a very successful drilling program accounting for 2,458 Mboe or 53% of the Total Proven and Probable reserve additions in 2009; and -- Seaview's drilling success replaced production by 2.0 times on a Proven basis and 2.5 times on a Proven plus Probable basis. - Seaview continues to drive reserve addition costs down through successful execution of the Company's balanced acquisition, exploration and development strategy. Management has been able to steadily reduce finding costs as a result of a strong prospect inventory and successful grass-roots exploration. Seaview's three year average reserve costs are: - Three year average Proven F&D costs of $14.10/boe Proven and Proven plus Probable costs of $11.05/boe (including FDC and after revisions); and - Three year average Proven FD&A costs of $21.69/boe Proven and Proven plus Probable costs of $15.57/boe (including FDC and after revisions); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Historical Capital Efficiency Highlights 2009 2008 2007-2009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Total Total Proved Proved Proved Total plus Total plus Total plus Proved Probable Proved Probable Proved Probable ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital Costs ($thousands) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exploration and development capital $16,484 $16,484 $20,907 $20,907 $41,027 $41,027 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquisitions, net of dispositions $30,455 $30,455 $91,864 $91,864 $ 135,371 $135,371 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future development capital, beginning balance $5,219 $12,982 $843 $1,475 $0 $0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future development capital, end of period balance $5,646 $15,551 $5,219 $12,982 $5,646 $15,551 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exploration and development capital including change in future development capital $16,911 $19,053 $25,283 $32,414 $46,673 $56,578 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- All-in capital including change in future development capital $47,366 $49,508 $117,147 $124,278 $ 182,044 $191,949 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve additions (including technical revisions) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exploration and development (Mboe) 1,696 2,458 1,393 2,321 3,309 5,118 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquisitions, net of dispositions (Mboe) 1,464 2,158 3,409 4,654 5,085 7,214 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total reserve additions (Mboe) 3,160 4,616 4,802 6,976 8,395 12,332 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding and development costs (F&D), including change in future development capital ($/boe)(1) $9.97 $7.75 $18.15 $13.96 $14.10 $11.05 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding, development and acquisition costs (FD&A), including change in future development capital ($/boe) $14.99 $10.73 $24.40 $17.82 $21.69 $15.56 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Efficiency ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating net-back ($/boe) $21.64 $21.64 $34.49 $34.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding, development and acquisition costs (FD&A), excluding change in future development capital ($/boe) $14.85 $10.17 $23.48 $16.17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recycle-Ratio 1.5 2.1 1.5 2.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve Replacement ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve additions, including revisions (Mboe) 3,160 4,616 4,802 6,976 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual production (Mboe) 847 847 427 427 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Production replacement ratio 3.7 5.4 11.3 16.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: (1) The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year, and the change during that year in estimated future development costs, generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT A key component to Seaview's balance sheet management is the Company's commodity price risk program. The price risk management program is intended to reduce price volatility in order to support cash flow, protect acquisition economics and finance ongoing capital expenditures. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2009, Seaview entered into additional financial contracts for 2010 and 2011 providing for increased downside protection designed to minimize the impact of volatile commodity prices on future capital expenditure plans. Seaview currently has approximately 1,545 boe/d (approximately 48% of estimated current production) hedged for the remainder of 2010; - 8,500 GJ/d of natural gas hedged in puts and fixed contracts providing for a "net of cost" floor of $4.94/GJ; - 200 bbl/d of crude oil hedged in put contracts for 2010 with a "net of cost" floor of CDN$75.00/bbl; - On a combined basis, Seaview has 9,255 mcfe/d, hedged at a "net of cost" floor price of $6.16/mcfe, which will provide for a minimum revenue in 2010 of $20.8 million. OUTLOOK; 2010 GUIDANCE As a result of a continued success in 2009, Seaview remains well positioned to continue its growth strategy in 2010 despite the current challenging economic climate. Seaview now has the following characteristics: - Total Proven reserves of 7,141 Mboe, and Total Proven plus Probable reserves of 11,068 Mboe, effective December 31, 2009, as evaluated by Sproule and Associates using National Instrument 51-101 reserve definitions; - Reserve life index is 11.1 years based on Total Proven plus Probable reserves and Q4 2009 production of 2,729 boe per day; - Net asset value as at December 31, 2009 using Total Proven plus Probable reserves and a before-tax 10-percent discount rate, including $6.2 million in value for undeveloped land, is $1.66 per share; - Forecast 2010 average daily production estimate of more than 3,200 boe per day compared to 2009 annual average production of 2,321 boe per day resulting in an estimated forecast production growth of 38% per share (based on 65.43 million Class A shares outstanding); - Forecasted 2010 capital budget of $11.5 million; - Commodity hedging program providing for downside protection on 48% of 2010 forecasted average production generating a minimum $20.8 million gross revenue for 2010; and - 65.43 million Class A shares and 1.0 million Class B shares outstanding. RELEASE OF 2009 FINANCIALS AND ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM Seaview has filed its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009 including the audited consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"). The Annual Information Form which includes Seaview's reserves data and other oil and gas information for the year ended December 31, 2009 as mandated by National Instrument 51-101 Standards for Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities of the Canadian Securities Administrators will be filed by April 30, 2010. These filings will be available in their entirety at www.seaviewenergy.com and www.sedar.com or by contacting the Company directly. Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and is not intended to represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this press release are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Certain financial amounts are presented on a per boe basis, such measurements may not be consistent with those used by other companies. Estimated values contained in this press release do not represent fair market value. This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements may include estimates, plans, anticipations, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance or other similar statements that are not statements of fact. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and may be based on assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the oil and gas industry (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 fluctuation and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures. The Company's forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligations to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
