Forward-looking information<br />
• This presentation contains "forward-looking information" (within the meaning of applicable<br />
Canadian securities laws) and "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the U.S. Private<br />
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These include statements about our strategic and<br />
operational plans and goals, proposed development and growth opportunities and capital<br />
spending, production base and changes to production base, the expected closing date for the<br />
proposed sale of the Trinidad assets, in conjunction with Joint Oil, the potential for a two year<br />
extension to our exploration program and the expectation of successful future results.<br />
• Such forward-looking information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties and<br />
assumptions which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those<br />
anticipated and which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among<br />
other things, operating conditions, regulatory approvals, availability of capital, capital and other<br />
expenditures. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without<br />
limitation, risks affecting the Company's ability to execute projects and market oil and natural gas,<br />
volatility of oil and gas prices, risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions, the inability to raise<br />
additional capital, changes in project schedules, commercial negotiations, and unforeseen<br />
technical difficulties. Additional assumptions and risks are set out in detail in the Company's annual<br />
reports on Form 40-F or Form 20-F on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<br />
• Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the<br />
Company can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. We base our<br />
forward-looking statements on information currently available and do not assume any obligation to<br />
update them except as required by law.<br />

Forward-looking information<br />
Additional advisories<br />
• This presentation includes information pertaining to the reserves of the Company as at December<br />
31, 2010 as evaluated by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd., independent oil and natural gas<br />
reservoir engineers in their report dated March 9, 2011 (the "GLJ Report"). There is no assurance<br />
that the forecast price and cost assumptions contained in the GLJ Report will be attained and<br />
variances could be material.<br />
• Boes are presented on the basis of one Boe for six Mcf of natural gas. Disclosure provided herein<br />
in respect of Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6<br />
Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner<br />
tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.<br />
• Cash flow is a non-GAAP measures and thus may not be comparable to similar measures used by<br />
other companies. The most comparable GAAP measure is net earnings. Cash flow is calculated<br />
before changes to non-cash working capital and asset retirement expenditures.<br />
• Cash flow is used by management as a performance measure and provides shareholders and<br />
investors with a measurement of the company’s ability to fund future growth. Management feels<br />
this is a useful metric as it is a common metric used by other companies operating in the oil and<br />
gas industry in order to provide a comparison of relative overall performance between companies.<br />
Management uses the metric to assess the Company's overall performance relative to that of its<br />
competitors and internal planning purposes.<br />

Strategy<br />
•Oil oriented growth: focus in Western Canada, related Rockies basins<br />
‐HZ infill drilling in existing pools<br />
‐exposure to high‐leverage resource plays (Duvernay)<br />
‐a substantial asset for future monetization in N. Africa.<br />
•<strong>Sonde</strong> established a strong path forward in 2010:<br />
‐Vertical proof‐of‐concept wells in W. Canada eliminated base decline<br />
‐Divested Trinidad and LNG assets<br />
‐Built team capable of executing plan<br />
•2011‐2012 CAPEX program aimed at bringing significant new Production and Reserves online<br />
‐W. Canada: ~160 HZ development locations identified, “proof of economics” program in 2011<br />
($34 MM), aggressively attack in 2012+ given success<br />
‐Additional capital for M&A, core asset consolidation (Drumheller)<br />
•Results indicate that the company has a large, under‐booked, oily Reserves / <strong>Resources</strong> base:<br />
‐W. Canada: mitigated base decline and increased reserves 20% with minimal capital and no<br />
new drilling<br />
‐Results from first HZ wells imminent
2011 Goals – W. Canada*<br />
• Production and Revenue: 20% growth (excl. M&A) – Target 3300<br />
BOE/d<br />
• Reserves: 20% growth (excl. M&A) – Target 12 MM BOE<br />
• Lease Operating Expense: 15% reduction<br />
• F&D cost: Target below $11.00 / BOE<br />
• Double oil production<br />
• HSE: Double Y/Y capital spending while maintaining top 25% rating<br />
for reportable accidents and lost time injuries<br />

Summary<br />
Oil‐oriented growth<br />
Low‐risk W. Canada Development Program<br />
Exponential Reserves, Value Growth Through Tunisia Development<br />
Oil Resource Plays for W. Canada Upsides<br />
• W. Canada:<br />
‣ Light oil development programs at Drumheller, Kaybob<br />
‣ Horizontal wells / multi-stage fracs to increase rate & EUR<br />
‣ Use low risk, low-cost behind-pipe conventional gas inventory to flatten base decline<br />
‣ Double capital spending, # of new wells in each of 2011 and 2012<br />
‣ Add one new oil resource play annually, 50,000 to 100,000 low cost acres<br />
• Tunisia:<br />
‣ Currently under Force Majeure
