Report Standards
The Report was prepared by Sproule using current geological and engineering knowledge, techniques
and computer software. It was prepared within the Code of Ethics of the Association of Professional
Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (“APEGA”). This report adheres in all material aspects to the “best
practices” recommended in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGE Handbook”) which
are in accordance with principles and definitions established by the Calgary Chapter of the Society of
Petroleum Evaluation Engineers.
The use of the Report, in part or in whole, outside the scope of which it has been prepared may not be
appropriate.
Sproule reserves the right to review all calculations made, referred to or included in this Report and to
revise the estimates as a result of erroneous data supplied by the Company or information that exists but
was not made available to us, which becomes known subsequent to the preparation of this Report.
The reserve estimates and net present values prepared in this evaluation have also been reviewed in
relation to the definitions and guidelines set forth in the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System
(“PRMS”), approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (“SPE”), the World Petroleum Council
(“WPC”), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (“AAPG”), and the Society of Petroleum
Evaluation Engineers (“SPEE”), Society of Exploration Geophysicists (“SEG”), Society of Petrophysicists
Ithaca Energy Inc. 3 March 21, 2019 Sproule International Limited
and Well Log Analysists (“SPWLA”), European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (“EAGE”), and
in accordance with international recognized standards, as stipulated by the Israel Securities Authority
(ISA). The reserves as presented herein were found to comply in all material respects with the definitions
and guidelines set forth in the 2018 PRMS.
The oil reserves are presented in thousands of barrels, at stock tank conditions. The natural gas reserves
are presented in millions of cubic feet, at base conditions of 14.65 psia and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The
natural gas liquids reserves are presented in thousands of barrels, at base conditions of 60 degrees
Fahrenheit and equilibrium pressure. For barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) a conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl
was assumed, based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip
and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Additional units and conversion factors are
included in Appendix B.
The net present values of the reserves are presented in United States dollars and are based on annual
projections of net revenue, which were discounted at various rates. These rates are 5, 10, 15 and 20
percent and undiscounted. For your reference the closing exchange rate on Friday December 31, 2018
was 3.7480 Israeli Shekels per United States Dollar, sourced from the historical exchange rate data from
the Bank of Israel.
All historical production, revenue and expense data, product prices received, property descriptions,
details of interests held, well data and other data that were obtained from the Company were accepted as
represented, without any further investigation by Sproule. No investigation was made into either the legal
titles held or any operating agreements in place relating to the subject properties. The Company provided
their estimated operating, capital and abandonment and reclamation cost estimates, as well as historical
cost statements. Sproule checked these for reasonableness and made adjustments where considered
appropriate. The Company’s estimates were considered reasonable relative to other evaluations Sproule
has conducted in the United Kingdom North Sea.
In the preparation of this report, a field inspection of the properties was not performed. The relevant
geoscience and engineering data were made available by the Company or obtained from public sources
and the non-confidential files at Sproule. No material information regarding the reserves evaluation would
have been obtained by an on-site visit.
There was no investigation into environmental liability included in the scope of the report, and we are
unaware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material effect on the reserves estimated in
this report. No costs were included to account for any environmental liabilities.

Technically Recoverable Volumes and Production Forecasts
The technically recoverable oil and gas volumes were estimated using a combination of volumetrics,
decline curve analysis, analogues, material balance and numerical simulation methods, depending on
data available for each field and maturity of each field. In-place volumes were estimated using the net pay
encountered at the wellbore and an assigned drainage area or, where sufficient well data was available,
detailed geological models constructed using Schlumberger’s Petrel software. Reservoir rock and fluid
property data were obtained from available core analyses, well logs, PVT data, gas analyses, and
published information, either from the pool in question or from a similar reservoir producing from the same
zone. Recovery factors for technically recoverable oil volumes were selected from the results of detailed
analytical reservoir analyses, the results of detailed numerical reservoir analyses, or by comparing the
reservoir under study with similar reservoirs that have more firmly established recovery factors from
extended production histories.
The technically recoverable solution gas volumes were estimated based on historical and forecast
producing gas-oil ratios and oil production or volumetric calculations. Similarly, the technically recoverable
natural gas by-product volumes were based on historical and forecast recoveries and gas production.
Annual technically recoverable oil and gas production was forecast considering historical production
trends of the Company’s producing wells, applicable regulatory conditions, existing or anticipated contract
rates, and by comparison with other wells in the vicinity producing from similar reservoirs.
Economic Input Parameters
The economic parameters used in the Report were those obtained from the Company in field summary
documents and those obtained during communications with Company personnel.
The operating costs, which were applied at the field level, included annual fixed field costs, tariffs and
processing costs, and allocated platform costs, where applicable. Capital costs were scheduled based on
development plans supplied by the Company and included cost for drilling, completion and tie-in of wells,
workover operations, pipeline construction, and facility installation/modification. Costs were converted to
United States dollars using the exchange rate included in Table 3.
The Company has a 100 percent interest in the floating production unit, FPF-1, located at the Stella Field.
At the request of the Company, the processing income from the facility, which forms a material portion of
the economic calculations, was applied against the operating costs of the GSA fields. Further discussion
of the processing income is provided in Appendix B.
Ithaca Energy Inc. 5 March 21, 2019 Sproule International Limited
Abandonment and reclamation costs represent all costs associated with the process of restoring a
company’s properties, which have been disturbed by oil and gas activities, to a standard imposed by
applicable government or regulatory authorities. Pursuant to guidance provided by regulatory agencies
(such as the Alberta Securities Commission), the costs included in this report do not represent the total
decommissioning liabilities of the Company but only those costs related to abandonment and reclamation
of active wells and material dedicated facilities associated with the Company’s active oil and gas activities
in a property. Abandonment and reclamation costs for existing wells with economic developed reserves,
and future economic proposed development have been included in this report as prepared by the
Company. No allowances for salvage were incorporated into the abandonment and reclamation costs
contained in this report. As requested by the Company, the abandonment and reclamation costs were
applied starting two years after the cessation of production, over a three year period.
The price forecasts that formed the basis for the revenue projections in the evaluation were provided by
the Company, with adjustments for quality estimated from historical revenue data. Table 3 presents a
summary of selected forecasts.
Royalties and Fiscal Regime
The Stella and Harrier properties are subject to a third-party royalty for a portion of the revenue from the
two fields. There are no other properties subject to royalties.
Further discussion of the petroleum fiscal regime applicable to the Company is provided in Appendix B.
Forward-Looking Statements
For greater clarity, we point out that the Report may contain forward-looking statements including
expectations of future production revenues and capital expenditures. Information concerning reserves
may also be deemed to be forward-looking as estimates involve the implied assessment that the reserves
described can be profitably produced in the future. These statements are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those
anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to: the underlying risks of the oil and gas industry (i.e.,
corporate commitment, regulatory approval, operational risks in development, exploration and
production); potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or
capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserves estimations; the uncertainty of estimates and projections
relating to production; costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental factors; commodity prices;
and exchange rate fluctuation.

As requested by the Company, the abandonment and reclamation costs were applied starting 2 years after the cessation of production, over a 3 year period. For the year immediately following the cessation of production, all cashflow values (revenue, costs, etc) are therefore zero. The software which generated the economic output automatically hides rows that contain no values.

P:\Ithaca YE2018 70965\Report\Appendix B - Fiscal Terms.docx
Appendix B – Petroleum Fiscal Terms
The following is a summary of the petroleum fiscal terms applicable to the Company’s lands in the United
Kingdom (“UK”).
Royalties
Except for the Harrier and Stella properties, no royalties are applied to the fields. Thus, revenue less
costs are taxed, with allowances provided for as appropriate.
A third-party royalty of 5 percent (3.33 percent Company share) of the revenue from the Stella and Harrier
fields is paid by the Company. The royalty owner has no volume entitlement under the agreement.
The Stella-Harrier royalty is shown as “S-H Royalty” in Table 4 for the “GSA Fields” group.
Taxes
The ring fence fiscal regime applies to the exploration for, and production of, oil, gas and gas by-products
in the UK and UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and is comprised of three taxes, namely Petroleum Revenue
Tax, Ring Fence Corporation Tax and Supplementary Charge Tax.
The Company is subject to United Kingdom Ring Fence Corporation Tax at 30 percent of profits and
Supplementary Charge at 10 percent of profits. The Supplementary Charge Tax is calculated on the
same basis as the Ring Fence Corporation Tax, with the exception that there is no relief for financing
costs. Payments are scheduled so that two thirds of the payments are made the year the liability is
incurred and one third is paid the following year.
The premise of the ring fence is that corporate tax on profits from oil and gas extraction activities should
be paid in full, undiluted by any losses or any other form of relief arising from any other business activities
whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Oil and gas extraction activities are treated as a separate
trade (ring-fenced), distinct from all other activities carried out by the Company. An enhanced first year
capital allowance (i.e., 100 percent write-down) is available for ring fence operating and capital
expenditures. Acquisition costs and losses from other non-ring-fenced activities are not allowed. A Ring
Fence Expenditure Supplement (RFES) increases the value of unused qualifying expenditures carried
forward from one period to the next by a compound 10 percent per year for a maximum of ten years.
Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) is a field based tax on profits arising from individual oil and gas fields that
were given development authorization prior to March 16, 1993. Fields which were given development
authorization after that date are not liable for PRT. Any PRT paid by the Company is an allowable
Appendix B — Page 2
3683.70965.OOJ.smr
P:\Ithaca YE2018 70965\Report\Appendix B - Fiscal Terms.docx
deduction against ring fence profits for the purpose of calculating Ring Fence Corporation Tax and
Supplementary Charge Tax. The PRT rate was reduced to 0 percent from January 1, 2016.
Allowances
In December 2014, the UK government announced a new basin-wide investment allowance to simplify
and replace the previous system of offshore field allowances over time. The investment allowance
operates in a similar manner as the previous system and exempts 62.5 percent of qualifying capital
expenditures made by the Company from its adjusted ring fence profits which are subject to
Supplementary Charge Tax. The investment allowance applies to qualifying capital expenditures the
Company makes on or after April 1, 2015 in a field that is considered to be materially complete. First
commercial production is usually used to determine if a field is materially complete, except in phased
projects where much of the originally contemplated expenditure is scheduled after first production (such
as brownfield projects on producing fields).
For an existing field that was in receipt of a Small Field Allowance, any unactivated field allowance is
converted to an investment allowance pool. If a field is not materially complete, only the portion of capital
expenditures that exceeds 160 percent of the gross field allowance spent between April 1, 2015 and the
date it is deemed to be materially complete, can be applied as an investment allowance. The same
methodology applies for a field in receipt of a brownfield allowance.
For a field that is not producing by the effective date of this report and is not eligible for field value
allowances, all capital required to develop the field is eligible to be included in the calculation of an
investment allowance.
Previously, several fields were eligible for the former United Kingdom Small Field Tax Allowance, which
was applicable to fields with oil reserves under 6.25 million tonnes (roughly 20 to 45 MMBOE). The
maximum allowance for a field was £UK 150 million ($US 188 million), with a maximum £UK 30 million
($US 38 million) usable in a single year. The allowance was offset against the income subject to the
supplementary charge payable by the companies with interests in each of these fields.

The Company also reported carry-forward losses of $US2.1 billion (£UK1.7 billion), as of December 31,
2018. Processing Income
Following an acquisition in 2018, the Company has 100 percent interest in the FPF-1 floating production,
storage and off-loading vessel (FPSO), located at the Stella field. The Company plans to produce all the
Greater Stella Area (GSA) fields through FPF-1. The processing income was estimated in the evaluation
for the FPF-1 facility. As requested by the Company, the processing income was applied against the
annual operating cost of FPF-1. In cases where the processing income was greater than the FPF-1
annual operating cost, the remaining amount was allocated to all the GSA fields on a unit of production
basis and used to reduce operating costs.
