This presentation contains certain information relating to economics for drilling opportunities in the areas that Whitecap has an interest. Such information includes, but is
not limited to, anticipated production rates, anticipated reserves, anticipated capital costs, anticipated finding and development costs, anticipated ultimate reserves
recoverable and recycle ratios. Certain of the drilling opportunities identified have no associated reserves or resources which can presently be classified as recoverable. As
such the information presented with respect to such drilling opportunities do not represent estimates of future production or estimates of reserves or future net revenue
associated with the drilling opportunities. No resources may ultimately be recovered from the drilling opportunities identified herein which have no associated reserves. In
addition, references in this presentation to initial production (IP) rates and production type curves and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the
presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not
to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Whitecap.

Additionally, readers are advised that historical results, growth and acquisitions described in this presentation may not be reflective of future results, growth and
acquisitions with respect to Whitecap.

The forward-looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Whitecap and its management, including expectations
and assumptions concerning general economic conditions in Canada, the United States and elsewhere, and oil and gas industry conditions, including applicable royalty
rates and environmental and tax laws and regulations. Although Whitecap believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and
information are based are reasonable as of the date hereof, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements and information because Whitecap can
give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

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 including, but not limited to the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in
general.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this presentation are made as of the
date hereof and Whitecap 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.

Oil and Gas Advisory
"Boe" means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 bbl of oil. Boe's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6
mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In
addition, 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.

The estimated values of the future net reserves of the reserves disclosed in this presentation do not represent the market value of such reserves. The estimates of reserves
and future net reserve for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net reserve for all properties due to the effects
of aggregation.

This presentation contains references to estimates of oil classified as Discovered Oil Initially In Place (DOIIP) which are not, and should not be confused with, oil reserves.
DOIIP is defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook as the quantity of oil that is estimated to be in place within a known accumulation prior to production.
DOIIP is divided into recoverable and unrecoverable portions, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves and contingent resources and the
remainder as at evaluation date is by definition classified as unrecoverable. The accuracy of resource estimates is, in part, a function of the quality and quantity of available
data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. The size of the resource estimate could be positively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if
additional delineation wells determine that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir is larger than what is currently estimated based on the
interpretation of seismic and well control. The size of the resource estimate could be negatively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional delineation wells
determine that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir are less than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic
and well control.

Contingent resources are those quantities of oil 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. Contingencies may include
factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated
discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. All contingent resources represented in this document are considered Economic
Contingent Resources based on the McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. January 1 Price Forecast and an economic hurdle rate of the before tax net present value at a
discount rate of 10% being greater than 0 (i.e. ROR >= 10%). The primary contingency which prevents the classification of Whitecap's contingent resources as reserves is
capital budgeting restraints that allow the resources to be developed within a reasonable time frame. This time frame can be defined as 3 4 years. As additional drilling
and/or development takes place, it is expected that some or all of the contingent resources will be booked as reserves.

The best estimate of the contingent resources is determined on the basis that 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 be equal or exceed the
best estimate. The remainder of the DOIIP beyond what has been cumulatively produced, classified as proved plus probable plus possible reserves, or classified as
contingent resource is currently considered to be the unrecoverable portion.

Estimates of DOIIP and contingent resources described herein are estimates only; the actual resources may be higher or lower than those calculated in the independent
evaluation. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable to produce any portion of the resources. The estimates of COOIP and Economic Contingent Resources
have been prepared internally by a qualified reserves evaluator in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGEH handbook and are effective as of January 1, 2013. The
estimates of Reserves presented herein have been prepared by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd., Whitecaps independent qualified reserves evaluator.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This presentation includes non-GAAP measures as further described herein. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS or, alternatively, GAAP) and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by
other companies.

Cash dividends per share represents cash dividends declared per share by Whitecap.

Cash interest is determined by deducting unrealized interest hedging gains from or adding unrealized interest hedging losses to interest and finance expense.

Development capital represents expenditures on PP&E excluding corporate and other assets.

Enterprise value is calculated as market capitalization plus net debt.

Free funds flow is determined by deducting development capital and dividend payments from funds flow.

Funds flow represents cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital. Management considers funds flow per share to be a
key measure as it demonstrates Whitecaps ability to generate the cash necessary to pay dividends, repay debt and make capital investments. Management
believes that by excluding the temporary impact of changes in non-cash operating working capital, funds flow provides a useful measure of Whitecaps ability to
generate cash that is not subject to short-term movements in non-cash operating working capital.

Funds flow netbacks are determined by deducting general and administrative expense, cash interest, transactions costs and settlement of decommissioning
liabilities from operating netbacks.

Market capitalization is calculated by applying the period end closing share trading price to the number of shares outstanding.

Net asset value is based on present value of future net revenues discounted at 10% ("NPV10") before tax on TPP reserves, plus our internally estimated
undeveloped land value, net of estimated net debt at year end divided by the fully diluted shares outstanding at year end.

Net debt is calculated as bank debt plus working capital deficiency adjusted for the current portion of risk management contracts. Net debt is used by
management to analyze the financial position and leverage of Whitecap.

Net debt to funds flow is calculated as net debt divided by funds flow.

Operating netbacks are determined by deducting realized hedging losses or adding realized hedging gains and deducting royalties, production expenses,
transportation expenses from oil and gas revenue. Operating netbacks are per boe measures used in operational and capital allocation decisions.

Total Payout Ratio is calculated as development capital plus cash dividends declared divided by funds flow.
