"Over the past several months PrairieSky has continued to identify and execute on opportunities to expand its land and royalty portfolio to new and emerging plays," commented Andrew Phillips, President and CEO of PrairieSky. "The acquired royalty assets at Onion Lake represent a meaningful entry into a high quality thermal oil project with growth potential and a best in class cost structure. The operator of the project is a well-capitalized, industry leader in heavy oil technology driven plays, with a long track record of success. The acquisitions are consistent with PrairieSky's long term strategy, and provide an entry point into a new asset class and assets that have similar duration to PrairieSky's existing portfolio. We expect the acquired assets will be cash flow and production accretive to shareholders in the near, medium and long term. PrairieSky continues to see quality acquisition opportunities including small and medium sized potential transactions, and will remain selective and disciplined in our evaluation of new royalty opportunities."

CONVERSIONS OF NATURAL GAS TO BOE

To provide a single unit of production for analytical purposes, natural gas production and reserves volumes are converted mathematically to equivalent barrels of oil (BOE). PrairieSky uses the industry-accepted standard conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf = 1 bbl). The 6:1 BOE ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the BOE ratio is useful for comparative measures and observing trends, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. As well, given that the value ratio, based on the current price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
