Corporate Presentation, November 2017
Advisory This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a solicitation or offering of securities of Traverse Energy Ltd. ( Traverse or TVL ) in any jurisdiction. The material presented is not intended to modify, qualify, supplement or amend information disclosed under corporate and securities legislation of any jurisdiction applicable to Traverse and should not be used for the purpose of making investment decisions concerning Traverse securities. Forward Looking Information Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking information and are based upon the estimates and opinions of the Company s management at the time the statements are made. The use of any of the words could, expect, believe, will, projected, estimated and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on Traverse s current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future results may differ materially. These statements relate to the Company s corporate strategy, reserves and resources estimates, the Company s 2017 exploration and development program including the planned completion of a Duvernay well at Chigwell, type curve production estimates for the Duvernay project, the planned recompletion of a well at Watts and the Company s 2017 capital program. Traverse s Annual Information Form filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com) describes the risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and which are incorporated herein by reference. Traverse disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable securities laws. Barrels of Oil Equivalent Natural gas reserves and volumes contained herein are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil. The term barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf to 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Original Oil in Place ( OOIP ) OOIP is equivalent to Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place ( TPIIP ). TPIIP, as defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluations (COGE) Handbook, is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, at a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. A portion of the TPIIP is considered undiscovered and there is no certainty that any portion of such undiscovered resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of such discovered resources. A significant portion of the estimated volumes of TPIIP will never be recovered. Due to the uncertainty as to how the Duvernay will be developed and the lack of definition of a recovery project for the OOIP at this time, the OOIP estimates disclosed herein are the most specific assignable category that can be provided at this time. Type Curves Certain type curve disclosure presented herein represents estimates of the production decline and ultimate volumes expected to be recovered over time. Type curves are useful in confirming and assessing the potential for the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or long term economics of the relevant well or fields or of ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production or performance of Traverse.
Advisory Analogous Information Certain information in this presentation may constitute analogous information as defined in NI 51-101, including, but not limited to, information relating to the areas in geographical proximity to lands held or to be held by Traverse. Traverse believes this information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics in which Traverse may hold an interest. Traverse is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor or in compliance with the COGE Handbook. Such information is not an estimate of the reserves or resources attributable to lands held or to be held by Traverse and there is no certainty that the reservoir data and economics information for the lands held or to be held by Traverse will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by Traverse may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands held or to be held by Traverse. Non-IFRS Measures In this presentation references are made to certain financial measures (such as funds from operations and operating netback) which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures by other entities. Management uses certain industry benchmarks such as operating netback to analyze financial and operating performance. There are no comparable measures in accordance with IFRS for operating netback. Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), these non- IFRS measures are useful supplemental measures as they assist in the determination of the Company's operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Investors should be cautioned however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to both net income (loss) and net cash from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of the Company's performance. Funds from operations - Funds from operations represents net cash from operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital and settlement of decommissioning obligations as detailed below: (in $ thousands) Q3 2017 2016 2015 Net cash from operating activities 1,081 2,247 7,598 Decommissioning expenditures 50 93 143 Change in non-cash working capital (362) (617) (479) Funds from operations 769 1,723 7,262 Operating netback - Operating netback represents revenue, less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. Operating netback per BOE is the operating netback divided by barrels of oil equivalent production volume for the applicable period. The calculation of Traverse s operating netback is detailed under the Commodity Pricing, Production and Operating Netbacks slide.

Duvernay East Shale Basin The East Shale Basin is a light oil resource play in the initial phases of evaluation and relatively unexplored. Potential of 7 to 16 MMbbls of original oil in place per section. Drilling and land sale activity has significantly increased. Active players are Vesta, Artis, Raging River, Rife and InPlay. Traverse drilled its first Chigwell Duvernay well in October 2017. The Duvernay well will be fracture treated in late November.

Duvernay East Shale Basin Log Comparison Traverse will be targeting the thick Upper Duvernay zone at Chigwell.
Chigwell HZ Duvernay Well Schematic The first well uses existing pilot holes drilled in 1964 and 1971 for horizontal well control. Logs indicate 24 meters (average) of organic rich Upper Duvernay.
