Attention:

Strong condensate production, well results indicate potential expansion of top-tier drilling inventory

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 3, 2017) - Seven Generations Energy Ltd. (TSX:VII) continued its strong financial and operating performance in the second quarter of 2017, generating funds from operations of $268.1 million, or 73 cents per share, up 36 and 11 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2016. Second quarter production was 165,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), record volumes that mark a 41 percent increase compared to one year earlier. 7G's liquids-to-gas ratio continued at the high end of the forecast range, averaging 59 percent, with the condensate-to-gas ratio averaging 132 barrels per million cubic feet of natural gas production.

Marking key milestones in second quarter, surpassing 1 Bcfe/d

"Since the second quarter of 2014, prior to our initial public offering, 7G's production has grown seven fold, and the company achieved a number of milestones in the second quarter. Condensate production surpassed 54,000 barrels per day (bbls/d) and natural gas production averaged more than 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). In June, 7G's production surpassed 1 billion cubic feet equivalent per day (Bcfe/d). This growth has been the result of strong support from our stakeholders who have enabled 7G to create one of Canada's top 10 producers in a remarkably short time. Our asset base, balance sheet, market access and commitment to stakeholder service differentiates 7G as we continue on our path of profitable growth," said Marty Proctor, 7G's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Recent well results indicate expansion of top-tier inventory

Two wells drilled along the boundary between the Nest 2 and Nest 1 areas, completed with 60-stages, have produced about 2.5 times more condensate than the average of 7G's Nest 2 wells. These two wells have averaged about 1,900 bbls of condensate per day in the first 90 days of production, with one of the two wells yielding more than 200,000 bbls of cumulative condensate production to date. On the southern portion of the lands acquired in mid-2016, 7G recently drilled a 40-stage well that has delivered strong natural gas production in its first 60 days, averaging about 15.5 MMcf/d of natural gas and 550 bbls/d of condensate. These wells provide an early indication that 7G's top-tier inventory may be significantly expanded, and offer a balance of gas-weighted and liquids-weighted drilling opportunities.

Third-party outages contribute to reduction of production guidance

Recently, 7G was notified that a third-party plant that processes 7G's natural gas will require an unplanned nine-day shut down in August to repair a dehydration unit. This processing deficiency has limited the plant to a peak natural gas throughput of about 165 MMcf/d which, combined with planned and unplanned processing outages, constrained second quarter production to 165,200 boe/d. The processing constraint and the August outage are expected to curtail production to 180,000 to 185,000 boe/d in the third quarter of 2017. Fourth quarter production is expected to be more than 200,000 boe/d. Annual production is now expected to be 175,000 to 180,000 boe/d, four percent below 7G's original 2017 guidance of 180,000 to 190,000 boe/d, and representing production growth of more than 50 percent compared to 2016.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

/T/

-- Average production was 165,200 boe/d, up 41 percent, with condensate

contributing 54,200 boe/d, up 40 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016. Total liquids represented 59 percent of production.

-- Funds from operations were $268.1 million in the second quarter of 2017,

or 73 cents per share, up 36 percent and 11 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2016.

-- New wells on the boundary of Nest 2 and Nest 1 lands, located on the

southern portion of lands acquired in mid-2016, delivered excellent early production rates and provide an indication that 7G's top-tier drilling inventory may be significantly expanded.

-- Increased credit facility from $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion and

transitioned to a fixed four-year, covenant-based facility, strengthening the company's financial flexibility with available funding of approximately $1.6 billion.

OPERATIONS

Average drilling and completion costs per well increased to $11.8 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $10.2 million during the same period in 2016. The increase was largely due to service cost inflation, water handling and disposal cost pressures, extended well testing through temporary production equipment, eight nitrogen-based completions in the second quarter of 2017 compared to none in the second quarter of 2016 and high-intensity completions resulting in total proppant utilized being up 23 percent year-over-year.

With up to 13 rigs and four completions spreads running during the second quarter, the resulting higher water volumes increased water handling and disposal costs. Trucking costs also increased due to seasonal road bans that resulted in reduced load sizes. Drilling costs on a per unit basis increased largely due to downhole difficulties on two wells. When the cost of these anomalous drilling disruptions are removed, per unit costs were similar to the first quarter of 2017.

Comprehensive plan underway to reduce costs towards historical levels

Operating expenses in the second quarter were $6.24 per boe compared to $4.20 per boe in the second quarter of 2016, predominantly due to higher water handling costs and the use of temporary production equipment.

"We are disappointed in the increase in unit costs. We are implementing a comprehensive cost reduction plan to bring our service and operating costs back to historical levels. Cost management and reduction is a top priority for the second half of 2017. With the addition of production and water management infrastructure, and the startup of permanent production facilities, we expect operating costs to be in line with historical levels by the fourth quarter of 2017. We will also engage suppliers and service providers who share our objectives to improve capital efficiencies," said Glen Nevokshonoff, 7G's Chief Operating Officer.

7G's comprehensive cost reduction plan includes a new third-party water disposal well, located near the heart of the Nest 2 operating area, that is connected by an internal field pipeline. A new 7G-owned water disposal well is drilled, being commissioned and is expected to begin injections in early 2018. In addition, 7G is recycling a portion of the water that is recovered from slickwater completions, which will reduce water sourcing, trucking and disposal costs. Permanent well tie-ins in the second half will also reduce the need for temporary production equipment.

FINANCIAL

Capital investment focused on full-cycle returns

Second quarter capital investment of $512.5 million included $165 million for processing and facilities infrastructure to support long-term growth. Seven Generations' $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion capital program in 2017 includes funding for engineering and initial construction of a third wholly-owned natural gas processing facility, located at the north end of 7G's Kakwa lands. Designed to initially process 250 MMcf/d and come on-stream in the second half of 2018, initial construction will include foundational design and site preparation that will enable the company to double the plant's capacity to 500 MMcf/d in the future.

Strong liquids production resulted in cash flow that was ahead of internal budget for the first half of 2017. Given the recent reduction in commodity prices, strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and pressure on well costs from service cost increases, 7G has deemed it imperative to focus on cost control and controlling the level of capital expenditures relative to cash flow. Reaching a self-funding state, with cash flow equivalent to capital expenditures, remains a key strategic goal.

"After years of very high production growth, we believe it is imperative to enhance our focus on return on capital employed and unit cost control, particularly in the prevailing commodity price environment. While we are dealing with localized cost pressures, we need to increase our scrutiny on capital allocation and operating practices to ensure we maximize return on investment," said Chris Law, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe we can continue to provide investors with a balance of production and cash flow per share growth, financial strength and enhanced returns through cost controls that match the top peers in North America."

MARKET ACCESS

Increased transportation commitments support future production growth

In the second quarter, 7G added natural gas pipeline transportation capacity that will further diversify its market access. 7G has contracted delivery capacity to the Pacific Northwest and northern California on TransCanada's Foothills and Gas Transmission Northwest pipelines starting with modest volumes in November 2019, ramping up to about 90 MMcf/d in 2020. This solidifies 7G's market access to new customers in Washington, Oregon and California, adding to its established markets in the U.S. Midwest, Alberta, Eastern Canada and the U.S. Gulf Coast.

In addition to this delivery commitment, 7G added TransCanada NGTL receipt capacity of 333 MMcf/d at its planned mainline Wildrose meter station. Combined with existing receipt commitments, this new commitment brings the contracted NGTL receipt capacity at Wildrose to 500 MMcf/d, which matches the total design capacity of the new plant to be constructed at the north end of 7G's Kakwa lands. This commitment phases in over a period of time, reaching peak receipt capacity in the second half of 2021 and supports future production growth.

7G continues to pursue and evaluate a variety of new market opportunities, including supplying natural gas to power generation facilities in Alberta, supplying natural gas and natural gas liquids to petrochemical facilities and exporting liquefied natural gas and propane off Canada's West Coast to serve consumers in Asia.

OUTLOOK

Capital investments to support profitable growth

Seven Generations intends to complete a $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion capital investment program in 2017. 7G will continue with its planned investments in drilling, completions and the facilities and infrastructure to improve capital efficiencies and provide the base for future, profitable growth. 7G's 2017 production guidance is 175,000 to 180,000 boe/d, 55 to 60 percent of which is expected to be composed of liquids.

1. Seven Generations has adopted the standard of 6 Mcf:1 bbl when

converting natural gas to boes. Condensate and other NGLs are converted to boes at a ratio of 1 bbl:1 bbl. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based roughly on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the company's sales point. Given the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mcf: 1 bbl may be misleading as an indication of value. 2. Mcfe and bcfe have been calculated using a conversion ratio of 1 bbl: 6 Mcf when converting oil to natural gas equivalent. Mcfe and bcfe amounts may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. An Mcfe conversion ratio of 1 bbl: 6 Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 1 bbl: 6 Mcf, utilizing a conversion ratio of 1 bbl: 6 Mcf may be misleading as an indication of value.
