Advisory Regarding Forward-Looking

Information and Statements

May 2016

This presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words “will”, “expects”,

“believe”, “plans”, “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or information. More particularly and without limitation, this presentation contains

forward-looking statements and information concerning: NuVista's future strategy, focus and opportunities; plans to maintain NuVista's balance sheet strength; profitably grow production

and funds from operations and develop NuVista's resource base, plans to focus on and improve processing and infrastructure; the benefits of NuVista's risk management program; the

anticipated benefits of NuVista's asset base; expected supply cost reductions; NuVista's exploration and development program; drilling, testing and completion plans, the timing thereof and

the results therefrom; anticipated inventory of drilling locations and type of wells; estimated liquid yields; anticipated well economics including drilling, completion and equipping and tie-in

costs; anticipated well performance and type curves; and other estimated operating, transportation, G&A and other costs; estimated liquid yields; netbacks, payouts, finding and

development costs, capital efficiencies, recycle ratio and estimated rates of return; NuVista's ability to fulfill all TOP obligations; guidance with respect to NuVista's capital expenditure

program, production mix, netback, funds from operations, targeted net debt levels and net debt to funds from operations ratios; commodity pricing and exchange rates and industry

conditions. Statements relating to "reserves" and "resources" are also deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and

assumptions, that the reserves or resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves or resources can be profitably produced in the future.

The forward-looking statements and information in this presentation are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by NuVista, including prevailing commodity prices and

exchange rates; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; future well production rates; reserve and resource volumes; the performance of existing wells; the success obtained in drilling new

wells; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour and services; debt service requirements and operating costs and

the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals. Although NuVista believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and

information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements and information because NuVista can give no assurance that they will prove

to be correct. There is no certainty that NuVista will achieve commercially viable production from its undeveloped lands and prospects. Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ

materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as:

operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of

reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, production, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price and exchange

rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation of petroleum and natural gas and loss of markets; environmental risks; competition; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions;

failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; stock market volatility; and changes in legislation, including but

not limited to tax laws, royalty rates and environmental regulations.

Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements in order to provide a more complete perspective on NuVista's future

operations. Readers are cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other

factors that could affect the operations or financial results of NuVista are included in reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR

website (www.sedar.com).

This presentation also contains future-oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") about our prospective results of operations and funds from

operations, all of which are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in above. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the

preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on FOFI and

forward-looking statements. NuVista’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these FOFI and forward-looking statements,

or if any of them do so, what benefits NuVista will derive therefrom. NuVista has included the FOFI and forward-looking statements in this presentation in order to provide readers with a

more complete perspective on NuVista’s future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The FOFI and forward-looking statements and information

contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and NuVista undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a

result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

NVA Principles and 2016 Guidance Focused on the Long Term… Flexibly managing the short term

May 2016

• Well costs down an additional 30% since 2014

• Continued improvement versus type curve

• Infrastructure spend complete for growth through 2018+

• Capex focused on well development in 2016, not on facilities

• G&A reduced by 1/2 over last 3 years, to $1.75/Boe for 2016

Reducing Costs & Improving Performance

• Net debt/funds flow from operations target under 2x

• Flexibility to dial spending quickly down or upwards as commodity prices change

• Disciplined approach to capital spending – large spend reduction for 2016, down nearly to 2016 funds from operations

Maintain Balance Sheet Strength

• Short term pace of spend minimized while preserving long term take-away plans

• Result is 10% to 15% production growth with minimal increase in debt

• Optimized 2016 development well economics 25% to 35% ROR and 2.0 to 3.0 year payout

Profitable Growth Tuned to Market Environment

Efficiency and Flexibility

The Alberta Condensate-Rich Montney … A sweet spot in a "world class" play

High

Quality

Reservoir

Overpressured 150-200 m thick

Condensate

Rich

1. Scalable/Repeatable

• Deposition on the shelf edge – not

isolated pockets

• Gas charged top to bottom

• Over-pressured – low water saturation

2. Porous and Permeable

• Hydrocarbon filled porosity up to 9%

(typically 4-5%)

• Sand/silt reservoir exhibits much better

permeability

3. Condensate-rich

• High liquids and condensate

demonstrated in all our wells to date

4. Thick Formation

• 150 – 200 metres

• Multiple developable layers of resource

Advisory Regarding Oil and Gas

Information & Other Advisories

ADVISORY REGARDING OIL AND GAS INFORMATION

Throughout this presentation the terms Boe (barrels of oil equivalent), MBoe (thousands of barrels of oil equivalent), MMBOE (millions of barrels of oil equivalent),Bcfe (billions of cubic feet

of gas equivalent) and Tcfe (trillion of cubic feet of gas equivalent). Such terms may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel

(6 Mcf: 1 Bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalent and the conversion ratio of 1 barrel per six thousand cubic feet (1 Bbl: 6 Mcf) of barrels of oil to natural gas equivalent is based on an

energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price

of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Any references in this presentation to initial production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such

wells will continue production and decline thereafter. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for NuVista.

NuVista has presented certain typecurves and well economics which are based on NuVista’s historical production in the Bilbo and Elmworth development areas, in addition to production

history from analogous Montney developments located in close proximity to the Wapiti area. Such type curves and well economics are useful in understanding management's assumptions of

well performance in making investment decisions in relation to development drilling in the Montney area and for determining the success of the performance of development wells; however,

such type curves and well economics are not necessarily determinative of the production rates and performance of existing and future wells. In this presentation, estimated ultimate recovery

represents the estimated ultimate recovery associated with the type curves presented; however, there is no certainty that NuVista will ultimately recover such volumes from the wells it drills.

In presenting such type curves, inputs and economics information, NuVista has used a number of oil and gas metrics which do not have standardized meanings and therefore may be

calculated differently from the metrics presented by other oil and gas companies. Such metrics include "Development Well Capital", "raw EUR", "NPV10", "PIR", "payout", "ROR", "netback",

"F&D" and "capital efficiency". Development well capital includes all capital spent to drill, complete, equip and tie-in a well. Raw EUR represents the estimated ultimate recovery of resources

associated with the type curves presented. NPV 10 represents the anticipated net present value of the future net revenue discounted at a rate of 10% associated with the type curves

presented. PIR (Profit to Investment Ratio) is the ratio of the NPV 10 relative to the development well capital. Payout means the anticipated years of production from a well required to fully

pay for the development well capital of such well. ROR means the rate of return of a well or the discount rate required to arrive at a NPV equal to zero. Netback equals total revenues on a

BOE basis (excluding realized commodity derivative gains/losses) less royalties, transportation and operating costs. F&D is the anticipated full exploration and development costs associated

with each barrel of oil equivalent expected to be recovered from a well based on the type curves and economics presented. Capital efficiency is a measure of expected development well

capital divided by average first year production results (IP365) from such well based on the type curve presented.

It should not be assumed that the future net revenues (NPV10) included in this presentation represent the fair market value of the reserves. The estimates of reserves and future net revenue

for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties due to the effects of aggregation.

NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS

Within this presentation, references are made to terms commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry. Management uses funds flow, debt to annualized funds from operations and

netback to analyze operating performance and leverage. Funds from operations as presented, does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore it may not be

comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. All references to funds from operations throughout this presentation are based on cash flow from operating activities

before changes in non-cash working capital, environmental remediation expenses, note receivable allowance (recovery) and asset retirement expenditures. Netbacks equals total revenues

excluding realized commodity derivative gains/losses less royalties, transportation and operating costs. Debt (net debt) is calculated as long-term debt plus current assets less current

liabilities and excludes the current portions of the commodity derivative asset or liability.

Advisory Regarding Reserves

Disclosure

RESERVES DISCLOSURE The reserves estimates prepared herein have been evaluated by an independent qualified reserves evaluator in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook and is effective

December 31, 2015 and is based on an independent evaluation by GLJ using January 1, 2016 forecast pricing. The reserves have been categorized accordance with the reserves and

resource definitions as set out in the COGE Handbook, which are set out below:

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of petroleum anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological,

geophysical, and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are further classified

according to the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on development and production status.

Proved Reserves are those quantities of petroleum, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a

given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations.

Probable Reserves are those additional quantities of petroleum that are less certain to be recovered than Proved Reserves, but which, together with Proved Reserves, are as likely as not to

be recovered.

Condensate Pricing Strong demand and premium price for the long term

• Condensate is used in Alberta as a diluent

to ship heavy oil on pipelines

• Condensate in Alberta is typically priced at a

premium to crude oil

• US condensate supply is increasing

• But condensate export restrictions are

easing

• Condensate must be transported to Alberta

– "we're on the right end of the pipe"

• Premium for condensate will always reflect

the cost of transportation to deliver to

Alberta while demand outstrips local Alberta

production … and it still does
