Forward-Looking Information and Statements This presentation contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("forward-looking information"). The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", guidance, "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", budget, "strategy" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this presentation contains forward-looking information pertaining to the following, on the entire company basis and on asset-level basis, as applicable: expected average and fourth quarter production volumes in 2017 and the anticipated production mix; targeted 2019 production compound annual growth and Enerplus expected source of funding thereof; the proportion of our anticipated oil and gas production that is hedged and the effectiveness of such hedges in protecting our adjusted funds flow; our drilling program, including future development locations and plans, the results from our drilling program and the timing of related production; future oil and natural gas prices and differentials and our commodity risk management programs; expectations regarding our realized oil and natural gas prices; future royalty rates on our production and future production taxes; future efficiencies and reserves and production growth; anticipated cash and non-cash G&A, share-based compensation and financing expenses; operating costs; capital spending levels in 2017 along with its components and their impact on our production levels and land holdings; the amount of our future abandonment and reclamation costs and asset retirement obligations; future environmental expenses; our future royalty and production and U.S. cash taxes; deferred income taxes, and our tax pools and the time at which we may pay Canadian cash taxes; net operating income and future adjusted funds flow levels, including on per share and debt adjusted basis; future debt and working capital levels and net debt-to-adjusted funds flow ratios and adjusted payout ratios, financial capacity, liquidity and capital resources to fund capital spending and working capital requirements; the amount and timing of future cash dividends that we may pay to our shareholders; and future acquisitions and dispositions, expecting timing thereof and use of proceeds therefrom; and the amount of future cash dividends that we may pay to our shareholders. The forward-looking information included in this presentation is not a guarantee of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information including, without limitation: continued low commodity prices environment or further decline of commodity prices; changes in realized prices for Enerplus products; changes in the demand for or supply of Enerplus' products; unanticipated operating results, results from our capital spending activities or production declines; curtailment of our production due to low realized prices or lack of adequate infrastructure; changes in tax or environmental laws, royalty rates, incentive programs or other regulatory matters; changes in capital plans by Enerplus or by third party operators of Enerplus' properties; increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inability to comply with debt covenants under our bank credit facility and outstanding senior notes; inaccurate estimation of Enerplus' oil and gas reserves and contingent resources volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital markets; increased costs; a lack of adequate insurance coverage; the impact of competitors; reliance on industry partners; constraints on, or unavailability of, adequate pipeline and transportation capacity; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Enerplus' public disclosure documents (including, without limitation, those risks identified in our Annual Information Form and Form 40-F, described below and under Risk Factors and Risk Management in our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2016). The forward-looking information contained in this presentation reflects several material factors, expectations and assumptions made by Enerplus including, without limitation: that we will conduct our operations and achieve results of operations as anticipated; that our development plans will achieve the expected results; the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed industry conditions; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; the accuracy of the estimates of our reserve and resource volumes; commodity price and cost assumptions; the continued availability of adequate debt and/or equity financing and adjusted funds flow to fund our capital, operating and working capital requirements, and dividend payments as needed; the continued availability and sufficiency of our funds flow and availability under our bank credit facility to fund our working capital deficiency; our ability to negotiate debt covenant relief under our bank credit facility and outstanding senior notes if required; the availability of third party services; and the extent of our liabilities. Our updated 2017 guidance herein is based on the following prices for the second half of 2017: a WTI price of US$50.00/bbl, NYMEX gas price of US$3.00/Mcf, and AECO gas price of $2.40/GJ, and US/CDN exchange rate of 1.30. We believe the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct. The purpose of our adjusted funds flow disclosure, as well as the net operating income disclosure from both the Corporation s Marcellus and Canadian Waterflood assets is to assist readers in understanding Enerplus expected and targeted financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Certain measures used in this presentation do not have a standardized meaning under United States GAAP ( U.S. GAAP ). Please refer to Non-GAAP measures in the Advisories. The forward-looking information contained in this presentation speaks only as of the date of this presentation, and none of Enerplus or its subsidiaries assume any obligation to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws. 1

Advisories Assumptions All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Barrels of Oil Equivalent and Cubic Feet of Gas Equivalent This presentation contains references to "BOE" (barrels of oil equivalent). Enerplus has adopted the standard of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) when converting natural gas to BOEs. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The foregoing conversion ratios are based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and do 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 equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading. "MBOE" and "MMBOE" mean "thousand barrels of oil equivalent" and "million barrels of oil equivalent", respectively. Non-GAAP Measures In this presentation, we use the terms adjusted funds flow", net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio, netback, net operating income, and "free cash flow" as measures to analyze leverage, liquidity and operating performance. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under United States GAAP ( U.S. GAAP ) and are therefore, considered Non-GAAP measures. Adjusted funds flow is calculated as net cash generated from operating activities but before changes in non-cash operating working capital and asset retirement obligation expenditures. Net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio is used by Enerplus and is useful to investors and securities analysts in analyzing leverage and liquidity. The net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio is calculated as total debt net of cash and restricted cash, divided by a trailing 12 months of funds flow. Netback and net operating income are calculated as oil and gas revenues after deducting royalties, operating costs and transportation expenses. Free cash flow is calculated as netback ( net operating income ), less capital spending (refer to Non-GAAP Measures in the Second Quarter 2017 and 2016 Annual MD&A for netback, which is used to calculate free cash flow). Enerplus believes that, in addition to cash flow, net earnings and other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, the terms adjusted funds flow", net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio, netback, net operating income, and "free cash flow are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by Enerplus' principal business activities. However, these measures are not measures recognized by U.S. GAAP and do not have standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures, as defined by Enerplus, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and further information about these measures, see additional disclosure and reconciliations to certain of these Non-GAAP Measures in the MD&A. Presentation of Production and Reserves Information Under U.S. GAAP, oil and gas sales are generally presented net of royalties and U.S. industry protocol is to present production volumes net of royalties. Under IFRS and Canadian industry protocol, oil and gas sales and production volumes are presented on a gross basis before deduction of royalties. To remain comparable with our Canadian peer companies, the summary results contained within this presentation presents our production and BOE measures on a before royalty company interest basis. In addition, initial test results and production performance referenced should be considered preliminary data and such data is not necessarily indicative of long-term performance, or of ultimate recovery. Readers are cautioned that the average initial production rates contained in this presentation are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. All production volumes and revenues presented herein are reported on a company interest basis, before deduction of Crown and other royalties, plus Enerplus royalty interest. Unless otherwise specified, all reserves volumes in this presentation (and all information derived therefrom) are based on gross reserves" using forecast prices and costs. Gross reserves" (as defined in National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101")), being Enerplus working interest before deduction of any royalties. Our oil and gas reserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, and is contained within our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016 ("our AIF") which is available on our website at www.enerplus.com and under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Additionally, our AIF forms part of our Form 40-F that is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Readers are also urged to review the Management s Discussion & Analysis and financial statements filed on SEDAR and as part of our Form 40-F on EDGAR for more complete disclosure on our operations. Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place, Discovered Original Oil-In-Place and Discovered Original Gas In Place Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place ( PIIP ) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered PIIP includes production, reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. Discovered Original Oil in Place ( OOIP ) is not defined in NI 51-101 and does not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. Discovered OOIP as used in this presentation is the crude oil portion of discovered PIIP. Discovered OOIP for our North Dakota assets were provided by an independent estimate by McDaniel & Associates Ltd. dated June 9, 2014 and as of June 1, 2014. Discovered OOIP pertaining to our Canadian waterflood assets are estimates by internal qualified reserves evaluators, combined for all Canadian waterflood assets. Discovered Original Gas In Place ( OGIP ) is not defined in NI 51-101 and does not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. Discovered OGIP as used in the presentation is the natural gas portion of PIIP. Discovered OGIP for our Marcellus shale gas assets are estimates prepared internally by Enerplus. See our AIF for disclosure of specific categories assigned to our reserves and contingent resources, a copy of which is available under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and our Form 40-F, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov. 32

Advisories Contingent Resources Estimates This presentation contains estimates of "contingent resources". "Contingent resources" are not, and should not be confused with oil and gas reserves. The estimates of contingent resources included in this presentation pertaining to Canadian waterflood assets and Fort Berthold were evaluated by Enerplus internal qualified reserves evaluators and audited by independent reserves evaluators, McDaniel & Associates Ltd. The estimates of contingent resources included in this presentation pertaining to the U.S. Shale Gas-Marcellus were evaluated by independent reserves evaluators, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. "Contingent resources" are defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") as "those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economics, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. All of our contingent resources estimates are economic using established technologies and based on January 1, 2017 forecast prices of McDaniel & Associates Ltd. Enerplus expects to develop these contingent resources in the coming years, however it is too early in their development for these resources to be classified as reserves at this time. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for us to produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources. Development pending contingent resources refer to a contingent resources project maturity sub-class for a project where resolution of the final conditions are being actively pursued (there is a high chance of development) and the project is expected to be developed in a reasonable timeframe. The contingent resources estimates contained herein are presented as the "best estimate" of the quantity that will actually be recovered. Contingent resources estimates are effective as of December 31, 2016. A "best estimate" of contingent resources means that it is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate, and if probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. For additional information regarding the primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of our disclosed contingent resources associated with our Marcellus shale gas properties, our Fort Berthold properties, and a portion of our Canadian waterflood properties as reserves, and the positive and negative factors relevant to the "contingent resource estimates, see Appendix A to our AIF, a copy of which is available under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and our Form 40-F, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov. Drilling Inventory Drilling locations associated with proved plus probable undeveloped reserves have been evaluated or reviewed by Enerplus independent qualified reserves evaluators in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the COGE Handbook ). Drilling locations associated with unrisked best estimate economic contingent resources in development pending project maturity sub-class pertaining to Canadian waterflood assets and Fort Berthold have been evaluated by internal qualified reserves evaluators and audited by Enerplus independent qualified reserves evaluators, McDaniel & Associates Ltd, in accordance with the COGE Handbook. Drilling locations associated with unrisked best estimate economic contingent resources in development pending project maturity sub-class pertaining to the U.S. Shale Gas-Marcellus been evaluated by Enerplus independent qualified reserves evaluators, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc, in accordance with the COGE Handbook. Unbooked future drilling locations are not associated with any reserves or contingent resources of Enerplus, and have been identified by internal qualified reserves evaluators and have not been audited by Enerplus independent qualified reserves evaluators. Finding & Development ( F&D ) Costs F&D costs presented in this presentation are calculated (i) in the case of F&D costs for proved developed producing ( PDP ) reserves, by dividing the sum of the exploration and development costs incurred in the year, by the additions to PDP reserves in the year; (ii) the case of F&D costs for proved reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs incurred in the year plus the change in estimated proved future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved reserves in the year, and (iii) in the case of F&D costs for proved plus probable reserves, by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs incurred in the year plus the change in estimated proved plus probable future development costs in the year, by the additions to proved plus probable reserves in the year. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally reflect total finding and development costs related to its reserves additions for that year. NOTICE TO U.S. READERS The oil and natural gas reserves information contained in this presentation has generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other foreign disclosure standards. Reserves categories such as "proved reserves" and "probable reserves" may be defined differently under Canadian requirements than the definitions contained in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross (or, as noted above with respect to production information, "company interest") volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The practice in the United States is to report reserves and production using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Canadian disclosure requirements require that forecasted commodity prices be used for reserves evaluations, while the SEC mandates the use of an average of first day of the month price for the 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. Additionally, the SEC prohibits disclosure of oil and gas resources in SEC filings, whereas Canadian issuers may disclose oil and gas resources. Resources are different than, and should not be construed as reserves. For a description of the definition of, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the disclosure of, contingent resources, see Contingent Resources Estimates above. 33
