I nvestor Update Summer 2007
2 Forward Looking Statements Forward looking statements are not based on historical facts but rather on Management expectations regarding the Corporation’s future growth, reserves estimates, results of operations, production, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of finding thereof), competitive advantages, plans for and results of drilling activity, environmental matters, business prospects and opportunities. Such forward looking statements reflect Management’s current beliefs and assumptions and are based on information currently available to Management. Additionally, certain information relating to the reserves associated with Corrientes Field and the Camisea Field is based on publicly available information that has not been independently verified by the corporation. Forward looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward looking statements including risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities, the risk discussed under “Risk Factors” contained in the public disclosure documents of the corporation available at www.sedar.com, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Corporation. Assumptions relating to the GLJ Reserve Report Summary are contained in the Corporation's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2006. Although the forward looking statements contained herein are based upon assumptions which Management believes to be reasonable, the Corporation cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. These forward looking statements are made as of the date hereof and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law. Because of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions inherent in forward looking statements, prospective investors in the Corporation’s securities should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements. A barrel of oil equivalent (boe) is derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to oil and may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
