DISCLAIMER CONT’D Oil and Gas Advisories used by InSite for Bellatrix’s most recent independent reserves evaluation as of December 31, 2019 may have different estimated ultimate recovery than the type curves upon which the BOE Disclosure. The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used economics presented herein are based; however, this is expected as Insite’s estimates are in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to barrels of oil primarily based on only historical results whereas Spartan’s Management Internal Forecast type equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the curves utilize historical results and analogous information to provide an estimate of productivity burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All BOE conversions in this and reserves in the future. Management Internal Forecast curves incorporate the most recent presentation are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of data from actual well results and would only be representative of the specific drilled locations. gas to one barrel of oil.

Proved locations and probable locations are derived from: (a) the reserves evaluation prepared by InSite for National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities includes Bellatrix effective December 31, 2019; and (b) the reserves evaluation prepared by Sproule condensate within the product type of “natural gas liquids”. Spartan has disclosed condensate Associates Limited for Spartan effective December 31, 2019, both in accordance with NI 51-101 sales separate from natural gas liquids because the value equivalency of condensate is more and the COGE Handbook and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or closely aligned with crude oil.

DISCLAIMER CONT’D & KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators “Free Funds Flow (FCF)” is calculated as Funds Flow less exploration and development capital This presentation contains certain financial measures, as described below, which do not have expenditures. “Free Funds Flow per Share” is calculated as the Free Funds Flow divided by the standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). number of common shares outstanding divided by the current share price. Other Key As these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, the Performance Indicators Company believes that their inclusion is useful to investors. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar Capital Efficiency: Capital efficiency is the amount spent to add an additional barrel a day of terminology is used. The non-GAAP measures used in this release, represented by the capitalized production to a company’s annual exit production. and defined terms outlined below, are used by Spartan as key measures of financial performance EUR: Estimated Ultimate Recovery (“EUR”) approximates the quantity of oil or gas that is and are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to potentially recoverable or has already been recovered from a reserve or well. EUR is not a defined cash provided by operating activities, net income or other measures of financial performance term within the COGE Handbook and therefore any reference to EUR in this Presentation is not calculated in accordance with IFRS. deemed to be reported under the requirements of NI 51-101. Readers are cautioned that there is no certainty that the Company will ultimately recover the estimated quantity of oil or gas from “Operating Income (Loss)” abbreviated as “NOI” is calculated by deducting operating and such reserves or wells. transportation expenses from total revenue, after realized gains or losses on commodity price derivative financial instruments. Total revenue is comprised of oil and gas sales, net of royalties, EV/DACF: is the enterprise value divided by the debt adjusted cash flow and is used as a plus processing and other revenue. The Company refers to Operating Income (Loss) expressed per measurement of the value of the company. unit of production as an “Operating Netback”. Finding and development (“F&D”) cost: is the sum of capital expenditures incurred in the period “Funds from Operations” is calculated as cash provided by (used in) operating activities before and the change in future development capital (“FDC”) required to develop reserves. F&D cost per changes in non-cash working capital. BOE is determined by dividing current period net reserve additions into the corresponding period’s F&D cost. Readers are cautioned that the aggregate of capital expenditures incurred in “Adjusted Funds from Operations” is calculated by adding back transaction costs on acquisitions the year, comprised of exploration and development costs and acquisition costs, and the change and settlements of decommissioning obligations to Funds from Operations. Adjusted Funds from in estimated FDC generally will not reflect total FD&A costs related to reserves additions in the Operations can also be calculated by deducting general and administrative and interest expenses year. (net of interest income) from Operating Income (Loss). Spartan’s “Corporate Netback” is equal to IRR: Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the discount rate required to arrive at an NPV equal to zero. Adjusted Funds from Operations expressed per unit of production. Rates of return set forth in this Presentation are for illustrative purposes. There is no guarantee that such rates of return will be achieved in the future. “Adjusted Funds from Operations per Share” is calculated on a consistent basis with net income (loss) per share, using basic and diluted weighted average common shares as determined in accordance with IFRS. IP90: The initial production from a well for the first 2,160 hours (90 days) based on operating/producing hours. “Funds Flow” is calculated by deducting payments on lease liabilities from Funds from Operations. “Adjusted Funds Flow” is calculated by adding back transaction costs on acquisitions to Funds NPV10: the anticipated net present value of the future net operating income after capital Flow. expenditures, discounted at a rate of 10% (before tax). Recycle Ratio: is a measure for evaluating the effectiveness of a company’s re-investment “Net Debt (Surplus)” throughout this presentation, references to “Net Debt” include bank debt, program. The ratio measures the efficiency of capital investment by comparing the operating net of Adjusted Working Capital. “Adjusted Working Capital” is calculated as current assets less netback per BOE to F&D cost per BOE. current liabilities, excluding derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities and lease liabilities. As at September 30, 2020, the Adjusted Working Capital surplus includes cash and cash Sustaining / Maintenance Capital: is the estimated capital required to bring on new production equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued which offsets the natural decline of the existing production and keeps the year-over-year liabilities and the current portion of decommissioning obligations. Spartan uses “Net Debt” as a production flat. measure of the Company’s financial position and liquidity, however it is not intended to be viewed as an alternative to other measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. “Proactive Asset Retirement Capital” is the amount required to maintain compliance with regulator mandated asset retirement of the Company’s inactive asset base. “Enterprise value” is calculated as the Market Capitalization of the Company plus Net Debt, where Production per common share (PPS): is calculated by dividing total production by the basic “Market Capitalization” is defined as the total number of common shares outstanding multiplied weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as determined in accordance with IFRS. by the price per share at a given point in time.
