Vermilion Energy Inc. Announces 2016 Year-end Summary Reserves and Resource Information
CALGARY, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion", the "Company", "We" or "Our") (TSX, NYSE: VET) is pleased to announce summary 2016 year-end reserves and resource information. The estimates of reserves and resources and other oil and gas information contained in this news release have been estimated by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. ("GLJ") effective as at December 31, 2016 and prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities" of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 51-101") and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH"). For additional information about Vermilion, including Vermilion's statement of reserves data and other information in Form 51-101F1, report on reserves data by independent qualified reserves evaluator or auditor in Form 51-101F2 and report of management and directors on oil and gas disclosure in Form 51-101F3, please review the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016, to be filed on February 27, 2017 and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Total proved ("1P") reserves increased 9% to 175.8 mmboe(1), while total proved plus probable ("2P") reserves increased 11% to 290.1 mmboe(1). This represents year-over-year 1P and 2P per share reserves growth of 4% and 5%, respectively.
- Finding and Development ("F&D")(2) and Finding, Development and Acquisition ("FD&A")(2) costs, including Future Development Capital ("FDC") for 2016 on a 2P basis decreased 38% to $5.57/boe and 34% to $6.62/boe, respectively. Our three-year F&D and FD&A costs, including FDC, on a 2P basis were $10.76/boe and $14.22/boe, respectively.
- Achieved a further $33.7 million (2%) reduction in FDC costs (excluding FDC related to properties acquired during the year) due to additional reductions in drilling, completions and facility capital costs. FDC costs related to properties acquired during the year totalled $40.3 million.
- Operating Recycle Ratio(3) (including FDC) was 4.9x during 2016, an increase over the 3.6x achieved during 2015. The impact of lower commodity prices year-over-year was more than offset by lower F&D costs and per unit expenses. These improvements are a result of Vermilion's continued focus on cost reduction and investment efficiency.
- In 2016, we added 52.5 mmboe of 2P reserves with 37.5 mmboe (70%) of additions coming from organic exploration and development ("E&D") activities and 15.0 mmboe (30%) of additions through acquisitions.
- Replaced 161% of production at the 2P level through E&D related activities and 226% including acquisitions. At the 1P level, we replaced 119% and 165% of 2016 production, respectively.
- Increased Proved Developed Producing ("PDP") reserves by 11% to 122.2 mmboe at an average F&D cost (including FDC) of $6.68/boe resulting in an Operating Recycle Ratio(3) (including FDC) of 4.1x. PDP reserves represent 70% of 1P reserves.
- Our independent GLJ 2016 Resource Assessment(4) indicates risked low, best, and high estimates for contingent resources in the Development Pending category of 120.4(4) mmboe, 198.5(4) mmboe, and 309.4(4) mmboe, representing increases of 27%, 24% and 21%, respectively, compared to our GLJ 2015 Resource Assessment(5). The GLJ 2016 Resource Assessment also indicates risked low, best, and high estimates for contingent resources in the Development Unclarified category of 9.9(4) mmboe, 19.5(4) mmboe, and 28.7(4) mmboe. Over 90% of our risked contingent resources reside in the Development Pending category, reflecting the high quality nature of our contingent resource base. Prospective resources were assessed at risked low, best and high estimates of 45.2(4) mmboe, 89.5(4) mmboe, and 147.9(4) mmboe.
- At year-end 2016, 2P reserves were comprised of 31% Brent-based light crude, 15% North American-based light crude, 11% natural gas liquids, 21% European natural gas and 22% North American natural gas.
- Increased reserve life index for 2P reserves to 13.1 years for year-end 2016 reserves based on annualized Q4 2016 production, compared to 11.7 years at year-end 2015. Year-end 2016 reserve life index for 1P reserves increased to 7.9 years, as compared to 7.2 years at year-end 2015.
- Ongoing technical work associated with the German asset acquisition announced in Q2 2016 resulted in the identification of an additional ten (6.3 net) locations and related 2P reserves of approximately 6.3 mmboe.
- In our Mannville condensate and liquids-rich gas plays in Alberta we added, at the 2P level, an additional eight (7.0 net) undeveloped wells in the West Pembina area and nine (7.0 net) wells in the Ferrier area. The average net reserves additions per well were approximately 620 mboe/well in West Pembina and 850 mboe/well in Ferrier.
- We added ten (9.0 net) 2P locations at an average of 350 mboe per well in our emerging Turner Sand light crude oil development project in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.

(2) | F&D (finding and development) and FD&A (finding, development and acquisition) costs are used as a measure of capital efficiency and are calculated by dividing the applicable capital expenditures for the period, including the change in undiscounted future development capital ("FDC"), by the change in the reserves, incorporating revisions and production, for the same period. |
(3) | "Operating Recycle Ratio" is a measure of capital efficiency calculated by dividing the Operating Netback by the cost of adding reserves (F&D cost). "Operating Netback" is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT and realized hedging gains and losses presented on a per unit basis. |
(4) | Vermilion retained GLJ to conduct an independent resource evaluation dated February 1, 2017 to assess contingent and prospective resources across all of the Company's key operating regions with an effective date of December 31, 2016 (the "GLJ 2016 Resource Assessment"). The aggregate associated chance of development for each of the low, best and high estimate for contingent resources in the Development Pending category are 84%, 83% and 82%, respectively. The aggregate associated chance of development for each of the low, best and high estimate for contingent resources in the Development Unclarified category are 55%, 54% and 55%, respectively. The aggregate associated chance of commerciality for each of the low, best and high estimate for prospective resources in the Prospect category are 25%, 26% and 26%, respectively. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. |
(5) | Vermilion retained GLJ to conduct an independent resource evaluation dated February 8, 2016 to assess contingent resources across all of the Company's key operating regions with an effective date of December 31, 2015 (the "GLJ 2015 Resource Assessment"). The aggregate associated chance of development for each of the low, best and high estimate for contingent resources in the Development Pending category are 83%, 82% and 81%, respectively. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. For further information, see the "Contingent Resources" section of this news release. |

RESERVES, FUTURE NET REVENUE AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves and the value of future net revenue of Vermilion as evaluated by GLJ, independent petroleum engineering consultants in Calgary in a report dated February 1, 2017 with an effective date of December 31, 2016 (the "GLJ 2016 Reserves Evaluation"). The GLJ 2016 Reserves Evaluation was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 and COGEH.
Reserves and other oil and gas information in this news release is effective December 31, 2016 unless otherwise stated.
All evaluations of future net production revenue set forth in the tables below are stated after overriding and lessor royalties, Crown royalties, freehold royalties, mineral taxes, direct lifting costs, normal allocated overhead and future capital investments, including abandonment and reclamation obligations. Future net production revenues estimated by the GLJ 2016 Reserves Evaluation do not represent the fair market value of the reserves. Other assumptions relating to the costs, prices for future production and other matters are included in the GLJ 2016 Reserve Evaluation. There is no assurance that the future price and cost assumptions used in the GLJ 2016 Reserves Evaluation will prove accurate and variances could be material.
Reserves for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United States are established using deterministic methodology. Total proved reserves are established at the 90 percent probability (P90) level. There is a 90 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P90 reserves. Total proved plus probable reserves are established at the 50 percent probability (P50) level. There is a 50 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P50 reserves.
Estimates of reserves have been made assuming that development of each property, in respect of which estimates have been made, will occur without regard to the availability of funding required for that development.
With respect to finding and development costs, the aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.
Pricing used in the forecast price estimates is set forth in the table below and referenced in the notes to subsequent tables.

Notes: | |
(1) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth below. See "Forecast Prices used in Estimates". The NGL price is an aggregate of the individual natural gas liquids prices used in the Total Proved plus Probable evaluation. GLJ is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101. |
(2) | "Gross Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion. "Net Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in reserves. |
(3) | "Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. |
(4) | "Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. |
(5) | "Developed" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production. |
(6) | "Developed Producing" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty. |
(7) | "Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown. |
(8) | "Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned. |

(6) | "Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown. |
(7) | "Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned. |

Notes: | |
(1) | "Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. |
(2) | "Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. |
(3) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth above. See "Forecast Prices used in Estimates". The NGL price is an aggregate of the individual natural gas liquids prices used in the Total Proved plus Probable evaluation. GLJ is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101. |
(4) | For reporting purposes, "Total Oil" is the sum of Light Crude oil and Medium Crude Oil, Heavy Oil and Tight Oil. For reporting purposes, "Total Gas" is the sum of Conventional Natural Gas, Coal Bed Methane and Shale Gas. |
(5) | "Coal Bed Methane" and "Shale Gas" were considered "Unconventional Natural Gas" in previous years. NI 51-101 no longer differentiates between conventional and unconventional activities. |
The table below sets out the future development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to total proved reserves and total proved plus probable reserves (using forecast prices and costs).

Note: | |
(1) | The pricing assumptions used in the GLJ Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth above. See "Forecast Prices used in Estimates". The NGL price is an aggregate of the individual natural gas liquids prices used in the Total Proved plus Probable evaluation. GLJ is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101. |
Vermilion expects to source its capital expenditure requirements from internally generated cash flow and, as appropriate, from Vermilion's existing credit facility or equity or debt financing. It is anticipated that costs of funding the future development costs will not impact development of its properties or Vermilion's reserves or future net revenue.
CONTINGENT RESOURCES
Summary information regarding contingent resources and net present value of future net revenues from contingent resources are set forth below and are derived, in each case, from the GLJ Resources Assessment. The GLJ Resources Assessment was prepared in accordance with COGEH and NI-51-101 by GLJ, an independent qualified reserve evaluator. All contingent resources evaluated in the GLJ Resources Assessment were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2016. Contingent resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.
A range of contingent resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ. See notes 6 to 8 of the tables below for a description of low estimate, best estimate and high estimate.
The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked contingent resources with a project maturity subclass of "Development Pending" of 120.4 million boe (low estimate) to 309.4 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 198.5 million boe. Contingent resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.
The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked contingent resources with a project maturity subclass of "Development Unclarified" of 10.7 million boe (low estimate) to 28.7 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 19.5 million boe.
An estimate of risked net present value of future net revenue of contingent resources is preliminary in nature and is provided to assist the reader in reaching an opinion on the merit and likelihood of the company proceeding with the required investment. It includes contingent resources that are considered too uncertain with respect to the chance of development to be classified as reserves. There is uncertainty that the risked net present value of future net revenue will be realized.

Notes: | ||
(1) | Contingent resources are defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources. The estimates of contingent resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated, as at a given date, and that the resources can be profitably produced in the future. The risked net present value of the future net revenue from the contingent resources does not represent the fair market value of the contingent resources. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. | |
(2) | GLJ prepared the estimates of contingent resources shown for each property using deterministic principles and methods. Probabilistic aggregation of the low and high property estimates shown in the table might produce different total volumes than the arithmetic sums shown in the table. | |
(3) | The forecast price and cost assumptions utilized in the year-end 2016 reserves report were also utilized by GLJ in preparing the GLJ Resource Assessment. See "GLJ December 31, 2016 Forecast Prices" in this AIF. | |
(4) | "Gross" contingent resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion. "Net" contingent resources are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in contingent resources. | |
(5) | The risked net present value of future net revenue attributable to the contingent resources does not represent the fair market value of the contingent resources. Estimated abandonment and reclamation costs have been included in the evaluation. | |
(6) | This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate. | |
(7) | This is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. | |
(8) | This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. | |
(9) | The Chance of Development (CoDev) is the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will be commercially developed. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDev as follows: | |

The estimated cost to bring these contingent resources on commercial production is $431 MM and the expected timeline is between 4 and 12 years. The specific contingencies for these resources are corporate commitment and development timing. | |
(17) | Project maturity subclass development unclarified is defined as contingent resources when the evaluation is incomplete and there is ongoing activity to resolve any risks or uncertainties. | |
(18) | In Canada, GLJ has estimated an aggregate of risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources of 14.2 mmboe for the projects outlined below. Utilizing established recovery technology, the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is an aggregate of $108 MM with an expected timeline of 4 to 15 years. | |
Ferrier Notikewin | Based on contingencies related to corporate commitment and development timing that is greater than 10 years, GLJ has estimated risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources at 5.1 mmboe and the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is $36 MM. The expected timeline is 11 to 15 years. | |
Ferrier Falher | Based on contingencies related to corporate commitment and development timing that is greater than 10 years, GLJ has estimated risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources at 3.8 mmboe and the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is $28 MM. The expected timeline is 11 to 15 years. | |
West Pembina Glauconite | Based on contingencies related to corporate commitment and development timing as well as economic risk related to capital and operating cost uncertainty due to limited horizontal development in proximity to interest lands, GLJ has estimated risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources at 5.3 mmboe and the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is $44 MM. The expected timeline is 4 to 10 years. | |
(19) | In France, GLJ has estimated an aggregate of risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources of 2.5 mmboe for the projects outlined below.

Netherlands East | Based on contingencies related to corporate commitment and development timing along with proof-of-concept utilizing directional drilling and unknown deliverability from Zechstein carbonates, GLJ has estimated risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources at 1.6 mmboe and the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is $24 MM. The expected timeline is 3 to 9 years. | |
Netherlands West | Based on contingencies related to corporate commitment and development timing along with further study required regarding the deliverability of the Bunter sands, GLJ has estimated risked unclarified best estimate contingent resources at 1.2 mmboe and the risked estimated cost to bring these resources on commercial production is $21 MM. The expected timeline is 5 years. | |
PROSPECTIVE RESOURCES
Summary information regarding prospective resources and net present value of future net revenues from prospective resources are set forth below and are derived, in each case, from the GLJ Resources Assessment. The GLJ Resources Assessment was prepared in accordance with COGEH and NI-51-101 by GLJ, an independent qualified reserve evaluator. All prospective resources evaluated in the GLJ Resources Assessment were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2016. Prospective resources are in addition to reserves estimated in the GLJ Report.
A range of prospective resources estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ. See notes 6 to 8 of the tables below for a description of low estimate, best estimate and high estimate.
The GLJ Resources Assessment estimated gross risked prospective resources of 45.2 million boe (low estimate) to 147.9 million boe (high estimate), with a best estimate of 89.5 million boe.
An estimate of risked net present value of future net revenue of prospective resources is preliminary in nature and is provided to assist the reader in reaching an opinion on the merit and likelihood of the company proceeding with the required investment. It includes prospective resources that are considered too uncertain with respect to the chance of development and chance of discovery to be classified as reserves. There is uncertainty that the risked net present value of future net revenue will be realized.

(9) | The chance of commerciality is defined as the product of the chance of discovery and the chance of development. Chance of discovery is defined in COGEH as the estimated probability that exploration activities will confirm the existence of a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum. Chance of development is defined as the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will be commercially developed. |
The Chance of Development (CoDev) is the estimated probability that, once discovered, a known accumulation will be commercially developed. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDev as follows: | |
The Chance of Discovery (CoDis) is defined in COGEH as the estimated probability that exploration activities will confirm the existence of a significant accumulation of potentially recoverable petroleum. Five factors have been considered in determining the CoDis as follows:

ABOUT VERMILION
Vermilion is an international energy producer that seeks to create value through the acquisition, exploration, development and optimization of producing properties in North America, Europe and Australia. Our business model targets annual organic production growth, along with providing reliable and increasing dividends to investors. Vermilion is targeting growth in production primarily through the exploitation of light oil and liquids-rich natural gas conventional resource plays in Canada and the United States, the exploration and development of high impact natural gas opportunities in the Netherlands and Germany, and through oil drilling and workover programs in France and Australia. Vermilion also holds an 18.5% working interest in the Corrib gas field in Ireland. Vermilion pays a monthly dividend of Canadian $0.215 per share, which provides a current yield of approximately 5%.
Vermilion's priorities are health and safety, the environment, and profitability, in that order. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the public and those who work with us, and the protection of our natural surroundings. We have been recognized as a top decile performer amongst Canadian publicly listed companies in governance practices, as a Climate "A" List performer by the CDP, and a Best Workplace in the Great Place to Work® Institute's annual rankings in Canada, France, the Netherlands and Germany. In addition, Vermilion emphasizes strategic community investment in each of our operating areas.
Management and directors of Vermilion hold approximately 5% of the outstanding shares, are committed to consistently delivering superior rewards for all stakeholders, and have delivered over 20 years of market outperformance. Vermilion trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VET.
Natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel equivalent of oil. Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Netbacks and Operating Recycle Ratio are measures that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable with the calculations of similar measures for other entities. "Operating Recycle Ratio" is a measure of capital efficiency calculated by dividing the Operating Netback by the cost of adding reserves (F&D cost). "Netbacks" are per boe and per Mcf measures used in operational and capital allocation decisions. "Operating Netback" is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT and realized hedging gains and losses presented on a per unit basis. Management assesses Operating Netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations. F&D (finding and development) costs are used as a measure of capital efficiency and are calculated by dividing the applicable capital expenditures for the period, including the change in undiscounted future development capital, by the change in the reserves, incorporating revisions and production, for the same period.
