    oil = 6 mcf of natural gas.


In determining our estimated 10% discounted NPV, Sproule used a constant natural gas price of $C5.50/mcf and a constant oil price of $C43.43/barrel. These prices were actual weighted average commodity prices received by Dynamic in December 2002 that were assumed constant over the life of the reserves.

Our estimated 10% discounted NPV of established reserves as of December 31, 2002 was $C143.4 million, an 87.4% increase over that of March 31, 2002. This represents an estimated net present value as of December 31, 2002 of $C7.05 per share based on our number of shares outstanding at December 31, 2002 of 20.4 million, basic.

Daily Average Production Rates

In November 2002, production of natural gas and liquids (oil and natural gas liquids) peaked at just under our forecasted rate of 4,000 boe/day, closing the month with a daily average production rate of 3,736 boe/day. In December, daily average production stabilized at 3,428 boe/day. Forecasted production rates for the November-February period anticipated timely regulatory approvals of our St. Albert St. Albert could refer to:
  • St. Albert, Alberta

 drilling program. To ensure Dynamic's longer-term ability to fully utilize the St. Albert field, we have begun a public consultation process to provide information to the community and to expand liaison with local authorities and landowners.

Wayne Babcock, Dynamic's President, stated, "While we had forecast average daily production of 4,500 boe/day by mid-February 2003, we now estimate production will reach 5,200 boe/d by year end 2003. Included in our estimate is an increase in liquids production to approximately 1,900 boe/d and an increase in natural gas production to approximately 20 Mmcf/day.

Daily average production estimates may be updated as further drilling and evaluation of our early-stage exploration properties at Sikanni and Orion in northeast B.C. continues over the next few months."
