Why Invest In Oil & Gas
Owning an interest in Oil & Gas represents ownership in some of the most widely used and valuable
commodities in the world.
Oil & Gas are “real assets”
 Real assets provide protection against inflation.
 Real assets have relatively low correlation with financial assets such as stocks and bonds.
Oil & Gas properties can have long economic lives
 A long tail of cash flows can be produced.
 Technological advancement may increase the amount of economically recoverable oil & gas –
further expanding the magnitude and length of cash flows.
The use of Oil & Gas is pervasive in the Global economy
 The uses of Oil & Gas include: transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity
generation, asphalt and road oil, and the feedstocks used to make chemicals, plastics, and
synthetic materials found in nearly everything we use today.
 There are no viable substitutes that could meet global demand for the current uses of oil and
gas.
 Extensive consumption of oil and gas will persist into the future.

Market Opportunity – A distressed oil and gas industry
The ‘Shale revolution’ has resulted in depressed oil and natural gas prices in North America.
Downstream oil and gas companies face significant challenges:
 Operating cash flows are reduced
Project and operating economics have deteriorated and are challenged in some cases
 Internally sourced capital is insufficient to fund drilling programs
Ability to grow production limited
Ability to replace base declines challenged
 Balance sheets are stretched
Pressure from creditors
 Reduced engineering reserve valuations
Results in reduced borrowing base  pressure to reduce leverage from creditors
As a result companies will raise capital
 Equity issuance
 Asset sales
 Alternative capital sources - Royalties
… there is a buyers market
Cashed up investors can acquire quality assets at attractive prices

The North American Oil and Gas Market
Notwithstanding the present challenges, the current market presents
attractive characteristics for new investment entry.
Peaking shale and total production
Natural gas export capacity
The impact of falling oil prices
The “war on coal”
The current challenging environment provides an opportunity to buy into
a positive long term investment at an attractive price.

Pipeline exports to Mexico will further support this trend
US pipeline exports to Mexico continue to increase
… available capacity in 2015 is
~6Bcfd after completion of a new
2.1 Bcfd cross border pipeline in
December 2014.
Pipeline flows to Mexico have more than doubled
during the last five years to over 2Bcf/d
Gas consumption in Mexico is rising as a fuel for
generation of electricity. Consequently the state owned
electric utility ‘Comisión Federal de Electricidad’ has
authorized construction of additional pipeline capacity.
Additional projects are underway to raise capacity to
9 Bcf/d by 2017
Export volumes are forecast to increase from an
average 2 Bcfd in 2014 to 6.5 Bcfd in 2020

The War on Coal
The “war on coal” by the Obama administration is having success well in
advance of actual regulations for existing plants.
The recent agreement between the US and China to cut greenhouse gases
will provide further ongoing support.
Approximately 93% of coal consumed in the United States is used in power
generation (1).
US exporters face limited export capacity and are at a geographic
disadvantage to other global coal exporters.
Use of natural gas for base load generation will continue to grow

Prospect 1
Vendor holds an average 43% Working interest and is seeking to manufacture a
15% GORR.
Prospective GORR price of $40 million
Prospect 2

GORR over entire company a possibility. Vendor has current production of 1,270
Boe/d.
Letter of intent in place
Evaluation and Land Title
complete
Raising Funds
Engineering and Geology reviewed
Independent Valuation provided by
vendor
Prospective GORR price of $10 - $12 million
Prospect 3
Vendor is seeking to divest a portfolio of ‘mineral fee title land rights’ and royalty
interests.

Full access to vendors dataroom
Royalty production was 742 boe/d (57% oil weighted) .
Provisional value of PDP reserves alone ~$63 million, with 2015 cash flow estimated
at ~$11 million. Potential upside through development of fee lands and recovery in oil
prices.
Prospect 4
Vendor is seeking to divest their working interests. Current production is 2,000 Boe/d.
In discussions with Vendor
Full access to vendors dataroom
Prospect 5
A third party is seeking to acquire natural gas working interest properties. Caledonian
has been retained to complete diligence on the properties. The third party desires to
reduce their net purchase price through issuing a GORR to Caledonian as part of the
working interest acquisition.
Waiting on engineering and reserve
data from the vendor
Prospective GORR price $10-$12 million
16 | Corporate Presentation | Strictly Private and Confidential
Prospect 1: $40 million royalty acquisition
Caledonian has an exclusive opportunity to acquire a manufactured 15% overriding royalty with
no deductions (“the royalty”) over a high quality, long life, dry gas, coal bed methane (“CBM”)
Mannville (in the Corbett area) play from a Canadian based industry partner (“the vendor”) for
consideration of CDN$40 million.
The royalty has a number of positive characteristics that support
and enhance value to Caledonian unitholders:
 The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Caledonian in terms of
production, reserves and cash flow
 CBM natural gas production that is not impacted by recent declining oil
prices
 A production profile with low and flattening decline rate (consistent with
CBM isotherm theory)
 Potential upside through compression optimization
 The area underlying the royalty is a core development area for the
vendor
17 | Corporate Presentation | Strictly Private and Confidential
Prospect 1: Characteristics of the acquisition that will
drive increased value to unitholders
Potential upside through:
 Long-reach quad-lateral horizontal wells
 Compression optimization (field boosters and gas plant suction)
 Target of maintaining flat stable total royalty production over 10 years
The area underlying the royalty is a core development area for the vendor
 The vendor intends to develop the underlying lands
 The asset will be the vendors largest producing area
 The vendor maintains and operates over 90% of the production and ownership of all gas
operating plants in the area
 There is significant capacity in these natural gas plants for expansion
18 | Corporate Presentation | Strictly Private and Confidential
Prospect 1: Asset Snapshot
Quality Geological Position
 The assets coal bed is flanked by deep channels to
the north, east and west of the core operating area
 Coals in the Mannville formation are wet, thick (up to
10 meters) and continuous. Coals in the core area
have shown high gas content and permeability.
Significant Footprint
 The area includes 389 gross sections or approximately
250,000 acres
Substantially Undeveloped
 Approximately 40% of the area is undeveloped
Drilling Efficiency Improved
 Latest drilling designs provide the best production
output per capital invested
Infrastructure Ready
 Infrastructure already

Prospect 1: Development Potential

Drilling has been configured to maximize the use of
long-reach well designs.

Standard well designs are in place for locations where
only one section can be reached

Locations under evaluation include developments that

 As the GORR holder, Caledonian does not pay for this development, however will receive its 15%
royalty on an average 43% working interest in the area.
