HIGHLIGHTS OF 2010 AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS -- Average production for 2010 was 2,907 boe per day, an increase of 25% relative to 2009 average production of 2,321 boe per day (increase of 11% per basic weighted average share); -- Funds flow from operations for 2010 increased 16% to $17.6 million from $15.1 million in 2009; -- Closed the disposition of Seaview's assets in Southeast Saskatchewan for $33 million on April 29, 2010 representing disposition metrics of $165,000 per flowing barrel. The Company reduced corporate debt levels to below $11 million at closing, providing available credit facilities of over $40 million to finance new exploration projects; -- Executed a series of strategic farm-ins and land acquisitions to assemble a large, contiguous land position in the emerging Wapiti Cardium light oil resource play: -- Accumulated 42.5 sections (22.8 net) of prospective lands setting up extensive drilling inventory with over 170 horizontal development locations (91 net) targeting high quality, high net-back light oil and associated natural gas production; -- Drilled 8 Cardium horizontal wells (5.0 net) at 100% success rate establishing light oil resource potential over the majority of the Company's Wapiti lands; -- Demonstrated improved initial production rates while lowering capital costs through continuous improvement of both drilling and completion practices; and -- Tested the application of new technologies to maximize the potential of the Wapiti Cardium light oil resource fairway. -- Established light oil resource potential of the Wapiti Cardium play demonstrated by strong reserve additions: -- Total Proven reserve additions of 1,450 Mboe, including 1,032 Mbbls of crude oil and natural gas liquids with Net Present Value (BTAX 10% discount factor) of $22.4 million; -- Total Proven plus Probable reserve additions of 3,165 Mboe, including 2,264 Mbbls of crude oil and natural gas liquids with Net Present Value (BTAX 10% discount factor) of $41.8 million; -- The evaluation from Sproule Associates Limited, the Company's independent engineering firm, recognized reserves on 23 Cardium horizontal wells (13.3 net) representing 16% of Seaview's total Wapiti net well locations based on 4 wells per section; and -- Continued success in developing the Wapiti Cardium light oil play could add significant incremental upside to Seaview's current reserves and net asset value. -- Net debt at the end of 2010 was $20.3 million compared to $40.3 million at the end of 2009 representing a 50% reduction over the prior year; and -- In February 2011, Seaview's credit facility has been confirmed, by the lenders, at $52 million with the next interim review set for May 31, 2011, providing for approximately $30 million of available credit facilities at year end to fund the Company's capital program in the Wapiti Cardium light oil resource play. Wapiti Results and Activity Plans Seaview's strategy in 2010 focused on accumulating a large, contiguous land position targeting a potential light oil resource play in the Wapiti Cardium fairway. Industry activity in Wapiti has increased substantially since Q1-10 following Seaview's initial exploration success at 100/01-09-066-07W6 (The "1-9 well"). As at April 2011, industry has licensed 24 locations targeting the Cardium. Over the course of 2010, Seaview successfully drilled 7 Cardium horizontal exploration wells (4.3 net) to evaluate the Company's lands. Subsequent to December 31, 2010, Seaview has drilled and cased one additional Cardium horizontal well (0.7 net). The Company's focus continues to be on the evaluation of the extensive land position in Wapiti through exploration drilling. In addition, Seaview continues to see improved test results with the evolution of the completion technology designed to optimize production and ultimate reserves potential of the Company's Wapiti property. The current status of the 8 Wapiti horizontal wells (5.0 net) is as follows: -- 4 horizontal wells (2.7 net) are currently on production, including conservation of associated solution gas. In addition to crude oil production, the natural gas liquid yields from the Company's Wapiti wells have been over 85 bbls per mmcf of associated solution gas. Seaview's fourth horizontal well located at 100/12-14-067-9W6 (73.7% WI) came on production in mid-March and continues to produce remaining load oil while flowing to sales; -- 3 horizontal wells (1.7 net) have been completed and are awaiting tie-in including 100/14-28-067-08W6 ("the 14-28 well") (37% WI in Petroleum; 18% WI in natural gas), 100/01-17-066-08W6 (67.6% WI) and 100/01-03-066- 08W6 (64.4% WI). The completions of each of these wells utilized the same completion technology as the 14-28 well; -- The Company elected to proceed with the equip and tie-in of each of these locations, in order to continue evaluation and testing through spring break-up. Seaview anticipates all 3 locations (1.7 net) to be producing within the next month; and -- 1 horizontal well (0.5 net) at 100/16-12-066-08W6 has been drilled and cased with completion to commence after spring break-up. Wapiti Exploration Program Results to date in the Wapiti area continue to validate the Company's strategy of accumulating a large, contiguous position targeting light oil in the Wapiti Cardium fairway. With 8 Cardium horizontal wells (5.0 net) drilled to date, Seaview has made significant progress towards evaluating the resource potential throughout the Company's land base in Wapiti. Management is encouraged by the exploration results to date and remain confident that the Wapiti Cardium light oil resource play offers a sizeable and repeatable opportunity. Management also expects the economics of the play and initial production rates will continue to improve through the optimization of completion technology during this initial phase of exploration. Seaview's opportunity base within the prospective Wapiti Cardium light oil resource fairway has the following characteristics: -- Exposure to earn up to 42.5 sections (22.8 net) of prospective Cardium rights; -- An extensive drilling inventory with over 170 horizontal development locations (91 net); and -- Excellent operational focus featuring a large contiguous land position directly offsetting the Company's recent successful Cardium exploration activities. Seaview believes the Wapiti Cardium light oil resource play contains the essential elements of a profitable resource play including: -- Large areal extent, supported by numerous logs and tests validating the reservoir continuity; -- Contiguous resource potential including an average of 10 m of vertical pay exceeding 6% porosity providing for significant accumulation of light oil, and a high degree of repeatability; -- Ability to improve drilling and completion techniques leading to lower capital costs and higher productivity over time; and -- Scalable project targeting high quality light oil (41 degree API), and natural gas with high liquid recovery NGL's. 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. Seaview currently has approximately 1,485 boe/d hedged for 2011, as follows: -- 8,140 GJ/d of natural gas hedged in put contracts providing for a "net of cost" floor of $4.18/GJ ($4.42/mcf), which is a 14% premium to the current calendar AECO 2011 futures strip of $3.66/GJ, and a 19% premium to the current AECO strip price of $3.51/GJ; -- 200 bbl/d of crude oil hedged in put contracts for 2011 with a "net of cost" floor of CDN$75.00/bbl; and -- On a combined basis, Seaview has 8,913 mcfe/d, hedged at a "net of cost" floor price of $5.50/mcfe, which will provide for minimum revenue of $17.9 million for 2011. OUTLOOK Management successfully completed several strategic initiatives during 2010 to position the Company for long term sustainability and growth. The combined impacts of significantly reducing debt, high grading operations towards higher net back production and early exploration success in the Wapiti Cardium light oil resource play provides a solid platform for long term growth of reserves, production and cash flow on a per share basis. The Company's focused long-life, low cost Peace River Arch asset and strong balance sheet provide a stable capital base to support development of the upside potential in the Wapiti Cardium play, and support ongoing exploration projects. Seaview now has the following characteristics: -- Total Proven reserves of 6,578 Mboe (23% light oil and natural gas liquids); -- Total Proven plus Probable reserves of 11,823 Mboe (26% light oil and natural gas liquids), effective December 31, 2010, as evaluated by Sproule Associates Ltd. using National Instrument 51-101 reserve definitions; -- Reserve life index is 12.3 years based on Total Proven plus Probable reserves and Q4 2010 production of 2,641 boe per day; -- Year-end net debt of $20.3 milllion, with approximately $32 million of available credit capacity; -- Seaview has established significant positions in resource plays providing for longer-term growth potential in a diverse portfolio of assets targeting both light oil and natural gas plays, including: -- In Wapiti, the Company has assembled a sizable land position targeting a Cardium light oil resource play: -- Exposure to earn up to 42.5 sections (22.8 net) of prospective Cardium rights; -- An extensive drilling inventory with over 170 horizontal development locations (91 net); -- Scalable project targeting high quality light oil (41 degree API), and natural gas with high liquid recovery NGL's; and -- Excellent operational focus featuring a large contiguous land position directly offsetting the Company's recent successful Cardium exploration activities. -- In Pouce Coupe, the Company holds interests in 21 sections (4.5 net) of land targeting a Doig-Montney natural gas resource play. Seaview's land position is on trend with successful industry development activities further reducing the risk of full development when economics are more viable; and -- In Harlech, Seaview holds a 25% working interest in 9 contiguous sections (2.25 net) of land targeting multi-zone Cretaceous and Nordegg gas resource potential. The Harlech area offers exposure to liquids rich natural gas reservoirs. -- Commodity hedging program providing for downside protection on 1,485 boe per day for 2011 at a "net of cost" floor price of $5.50/mcfe, providing minimum 2011 revenue of $17.9 million; and -- 65.54 million Class A shares and 1.0 million Class B shares outstanding, as at December 31, 2010.
