Montney Drilling/Completion Cost Reductions • Lower drilling costs due to: • reduced drilling days by improving penetration rates and efficiencies • lower day rates for rigs and lower equipment rental costs • Lower completion costs due to: • the switch to 125 T/stage foamed water frac from 60 T/stage oil-based frac • lower rates for pumping, hauling, rentals, etc. • The use of slickwater to further reduce completion costs • Moving towards 1.5 + mile laterals (1) Estimated completion costs based on Paramount's ability to source sufficient water supply to perform slickwater fracs. (2) No 1.5 mile lateral wells were drilled from 2012 to 2015 8

Paramount Investments

Paramount Investments 16 16

Paramount 100% Subsidiary Investments (1) As publicly disclosed by a large U.S. public E&P company with significant landholdings in the Liard Basin. The resource evaluation disclosed by such E&P company was not noted as having been prepared independently or by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor (as such terms are defined in NI 51-101) or in accordance with the COGE Handbook. This information is relevant to Paramount’s landholdings in the Liard Basin as the information is in respect of landholdings in the Liard Basin that are close to Paramount’s lands and are, accordingly, likely to have similar geology. 17 17
