Asset Corp PrivateCo Average

Commodities WTI rallied from US$46.04 to close out the month at US$50.17, the first time WTI has broken through $50 since late May

Lower Canadian exports to the U.S., higher U.S. oil exports, and strong global refined product demand led to large declines in U.S. total petroleum inventories in July and provided support for prices

The improvement in global physical markets is starting to be reflected in the forward curve with compression of crude oil time spreads. September Brent futures expired in backwardation and the WTI forward curve is flat within the US$50-$51 range through 2019

Canadian oil differentials continue to strengthen relative to WTI with lower supply because of unplanned upgrader outages locally and high demand from U.S. refiners

July was a challenging month for North American natural gas markets with rising output NYMEX declined from US$3.03 to US$2.79 as U.S. output increased, primarily in the Northeast. Marcellus production remains

steady and Utica production hit new highs during the month

Prices at AECO sank on a combination of stronger output and downstream maintenance. Short-term prices will likely remain volatile in August as outages and maintenance continue. AECO storage was 87% full at the end of July

Equity Markets The Canadian new issue market raised gross proceeds of C$2.3B

Hydro One (Restricted) raised C$1.4B via instalment receipts to fund its C$6.7B acquisition of Avista

– Together, Hydro One and Avista will create a North American leader in regulated electricity and natural gas business with over C$32.2B in combined assets

Debt Markets The summer slowdown was in full effect this July – the US$ high yield market witnessed only 25 issuances raising a total volume of

$9.7B in proceeds; the market saw 66 issuances raise a total of $41.0B in June

Despite the slow month, primary YTD volume is now $196.0B, compared to $139.0B of volume in YTD 2016

The C$ high yield market saw no primary issuances in July, marking the 3rd consecutive month without a deal pricing

The C$ High Yield index’s exposure to volatility in oil prices allowed the index to reach 6.15% early in the month - the highest level since mid-May, before prices recovered

Montney gas production has grown from negligible volumes to ~5.5 Bcf/d. This growth has offset declines in the rest of the WCSB

The play continues to evolve and expand as companies consolidate and push the edges of the fairway

Consolidation

The de-risked part of the fairway is largely locked up and bidders are forced to pay high land acquisition costs for the few sections that remain

Some parcels of land have taken longer to get to market due to requirements for consultations and approvals (Blueberry/Inga)

Some land sales are a result of exceptional well results and attract high land sale prices (Gold Creek)

Going forward we expect operators to further consolidate through acquisitions and land swaps

Consolidation in the de-risked areas of the Monteny have averaged ~ $1,400/acre since January 2016

Pushing the Edge

Land sales continue northeast of the de-risked part of the fairway

Speculators continue to buy land along the edge of the play at prices of less than $40/acre

The average price outside the core of the Montney is ~$60/acre since January 2016

Montney Gold Creek: Consolidation Game

GOLD CREEK AREA (CIRCA 2015)

The edge of the Montney has continued to expand and has attracted some high land sale prices in the Gold Creek area:

Sec 18, T066-06W6 sold in Oct. 2016 for a unit price of ~C$2,626/acre

Sections 19,25,30 of T068-05W6 sold in Aug. 2016 for an average of ~C$1,700/acre

GOLD CREEK AREA (PRESENT) SUMMARY

Velvet and CIOC have been most active in acquiring lands and extending the play to the northeast

Since virtually all lands are held in the Greater Gold Creek area we expect further consolidation to occur through land swaps and acquisitions

Montney Blueberry/Inga: Large Contiguous Packages Available in 2017 Land Sales

HALFWAY AREA (PRESENT)

The Blueberry / Inga area has had some recent land sales at high metrics likely due to offsetting wells showing compelling condensate gas ratios

Some of the larger blocks that are just now coming to market have experienced long delays due to being in designated areas of “cultural significance” to First Nations

The July land sale saw one parcel transact for almost $5,600/acre; offsetting postings for September and October will likely garner significant attention (approximately 35 sections to the north are posted in the October sale)

HALFWAY AREA (CIRCA 2015)

COMMENTARY

Parcel 66423 went for C$ 77MM (close to 22 sections) at the July 26, 2017 BC Land Sale

Since 2015, area operators have continued to consolidate their land positions – note the amount of available land (indicated by the white space) at the beginning of 2015

ConocoPhillips is a relative new entrant to the area having purchased positions from Bonavista and Pengrowth. In addition to oil sands this is the only notable remaining Canadian holding

Petroleum Commentary Natural Gas Commentary Other Refined Products & NGLs (USD/GAL) Exchange & Lending RatesIt was a bit of a wild ride in crude oil today, with the trading rangearound $1.65, and more like $2+ in WTI and Brent if you includeovernight hours. OPEC’s oil output is estimated to have risen by 210kbarrels in July according to Bloomberg with compliance to the cutsfaltering as well. In addition, Shell is reporting that Pernis, the largestrefinery in Europe, will not reopen until the second half of August atthe earliest. All of this created a fairly bearish picture for today whichcould quickly be corrected if the API numbers turn out bullish. Thosenumbers will be released at 4:30 ET. For guidance, analysts estimatesfor the DOE numbers tomorrow morning are on average -3.5MMbarrels for crude oil inventories, -1.1MM for gasoline, and -1.3MM fordisti l late. Imports will be watched closely along with U.S. exports,which crossed the 1MM barrel mark in last week’s report, only the 6thtime this year that has happened.

After yesterday’s precipitous drop Nymex took a little bit of a pausetoday with technical trading in the front dominating much of theday. NG initially continued the trend lower based onsupply/demand fundamentals hitting as low as 2.761 in the frontonly to bounce and stay slightly up on the day as noon weatherforecasts trended warmer than the previous ultra-bearish reportsfrom yesterday. The back of curve was relatively quiet today withsome sellers in the backs but not enough to materially change thecurve.
