Forward Looking InformationCertain statements contained in this Presentation include statements which contain words such as “anticipate”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “seek”, “may”,“intend”, “likely”, “will”, “believe” and similar expressions, statements relating to matters that are not historical facts, and such statements of our beliefs,intentions and expectations about development, results and events which will or may occur in the future, constitute “forward-looking information” within themeaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and are based on certain assumptions and analysis made by us derived from our experience andperceptions. Forward-looking information in this Presentation includes, but is not limited to: expected cash provided by continuing operations; future capitalexpenditures, including the amount and nature thereof; oil and natural gas prices and demand; expansion and other development trends of the oil and gasindustry; business strategy and outlook; expansion and growth of our combined business and operations; and maintenance of existing supplier and partnerrelationships; supply channels; accounting policies; credit risks; and other such matters. Forward-looking information in this Presentation also includes, but is notlimited to, the timing and amount of future dividend payments by Bonterra.

All such forward-looking information is based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends,current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. The risks, uncertainties, andassumptions are difficult to predict and may affect operations, and may include, without limitation: foreign exchange fluctuations; equipment and labourshortages and inflationary costs; general economic conditions; industry conditions; changes in applicable environmental, taxation and other laws and regulationsas well as how such laws and regulations are interpreted and enforced; the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise capital; the effect of weatherconditions on operations and facilities; the existence of operating risks; volatility of oil and natural gas prices; oil and gas product supply and demand; risksinherent in the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations; increased competition; stock market volatility;opportunities available to or pursued by us; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The foregoing factors are not exhaustive.

Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, noassurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits will bederived there from. Except as required by law, Bonterra disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as aresult of new information, future events or otherwise.

The term barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel(6mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does notrepresent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All BOE conversions in the report are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feetof gas to one barrel of oil.

The forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Forward Looking Information

DRILLING LOCATIONS:

This presentation discloses drilling locations in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations andprobable locations, which are sometimes collectively referred to as “booked locations”, are derived from the Company’s most recent independent reserves evaluationas prepared by Sproule as of December 31, 2018 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved or probable reserves, as applicable.

Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the Company’s prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per sectionbased on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Of the 700+ Net drilling locations identified herein,294 are net proved locations, 4 are net probable locations and 400+ are net unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have specifically been identified by managementas an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, and engineering, production and reserves data on prospectiveacreage and geologic formations. There is no certainty that we will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will resultin additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The locations that Bonterra drills will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatoryapprovals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have beenderisked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, the majority of other unbooked drilling locations are farther away fromexisting wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilledin such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.

Consistent Strategy

DIVIDENDPlus

GROWTH

DEBT REPAYMENT

FREE CASH FLOW GENERATION

A proven track record built on generating long-term, sustainable value through a combination of growth plus

returning capital to shareholders via dividends

Excess free cash flow will be directed to reduce overall debt, and then assess increases to the

dividend or capital budget

Low corporate decline rate ensures minimal capital required to sustain

production, which supports maximizing free cash flow

Bonterra’s focus will remain on generating strong, sustainable free cash flow which can be used

to reduce debt, and as leverage is reduced look to increase the dividend

Bonterra’s proven track record has been built on a model of generating long-term, sustainable

value through a combination of returning capital to shareholders via dividends and modest growth

Light oil focused with Pembina & Willesden Green Areas representing ~97% of production

700+ net locations identified and 298 net locations booked (43%)(1)

Minimal facility capital required to scale up production; 92% of production is operated

Strategy underway to reduce debt to funds flow ratio through capital allocation,

dividend adjustment, cost control

Returning Capital to Shareholders

• Bonterra remains a yield company focused on per share value creationachieved by paying dividends and growing production, reserves and cash flow per share

• Financial flexibility allows Bonterrato adjust the dividend in responseto broader commodity pricefluctuations

• Focus on generating free cash flowthat can be allocated to debt repayment, growth capital orpotentially adjusting the dividend upward

• Relative to pure growth-oriented companies, Bonterra shareholders realize a return via monthly dividends, coupled with opportunities for corporate growth that can lead to multiple expansion

Yield + sustainability strategy affords flexibility to adapt to commodity price environment

while continuing to return capital to shareholders

• Pembina is the largest conventional oilfield in Canada with large oil-in-place and low recovery to date, offering long-term stable production, high-quality oil and attractive netbacks

• Majority of Bonterra land covers areas with significant remaining original-oil-in-place

• Opportunity to increase recovery factors can contribute to sizable increases in reserves and production
