Finding, Development and Acquisition costs ("FD&A") are important indicators of the cost of
growing our asset base, adding reserves, and growing our production. We use FD&A costs to
analyze a variety of measures, including the efficiency of the capital we are using within our
operations to grow reserves. These costs are also an important indicator to the underlying cost of
growing our business.
FD&A costs can be calculated either including or excluding future development capital ("FDC").
FD&A costs under NI 51-101 include FDC as this provides a more representative view of the full
cost of reserve additions as it accounts for future costs to bring the reserves to market.
