Growth & EvolutionCrescent Point Energy Trust • Annual Report 2007

Page 2: Growth Evolution - Crescent Point Energy€¦ · company in 2001, and through conversion to a trust in 2003, ... (“Innova”) for $400 million in October and Pilot Energy Ltd. (“Pilot”)

Crescent Point’s business plan has remained consistent since 2001, the three key

elements of which are a strong balance sheet and effective risk management, a

defined acquisition strategy and the application of exploitation and development

methods to maximize potential from existing focus areas.

In 2007, the success of this strategy led to an 86 percent increase in net asset

value (“NAV”) per unit, an 85 percent increase in year end reserves, year end

production of 33,351 boe/d and a low risk development drilling inventory of

13 years.

Crescent Point’s exploitation strategy evolved in 2007 to include significant Crown

and freehold land acquisitions and step out drilling successes that significantly

expanded the size of the southeast Saskatchewan Bakken light oil resource play.

Crescent Point also evolved to assume a leadership role in its sector with the

implementation of corporate governance Bill 198. The Trust joined the Board

of Governors for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (“CAPP”)

and played a prominent role in preparing industry responses to the federal

trust taxation legislation and to changes in the Alberta royalty system. The Trust

was also named Alberta’s Best Workplace for Benefits, Perks and Incentives as

awarded by AlbertaVenture Magazine.

With a proven management team, a strong balance sheet and a focused reserve

base, Crescent Point is well positioned for sustained growth in value over the

coming years.

VOLUME REPORTING

Barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) figures for the periods presented throughout this report are expressed at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil.
