Environmental Impact 20
We strive to minimize the environmental impacts of ouroperations, maximize safety and ensure ethical businesspractices.
We are the first oil company in Trinidad to have a waterdisposal well. Reinjection began on March 22, 2018allowing us to reinject all of the water that we producefrom the Fyzabad and surrounding Blocks back into theground rather than releasing at surface.
In 2017 at the Health, Safety and Environment Forum hostedby Petrotrin, the Company was awarded two awards.
Touchstone placed first in Leadership Engagement in HSEManagement for Large Companies and placed second forthe Gathering Stations HSE Compliance award.
Current water disposal regulations in Trinidad
Improving our Community 21
We are proud to run a community investment program that supports initiatives and local organizations in Trinidad that make a positive impact on the lives of others.
In 2017 Touchstone worked with the following charities:Food hampers to local Trinidadians
Trini Fever - Carnival Mas Band Cerebral Palsy Foundation

The Company is exposed to risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country riskassociated with conducting international activities. Operations may be unsuccessful or delayed as a result of competition for services, supplies and equipment,mechanical and technical difficulties, ability to attract and retain qualified employees on a cost-effective basis, commodity and marketing risk. The Company issubject to significant drilling risks and uncertainties including the ability to find oil reserves on an economic basis and the potential for technical problems that couldlead to well blow-outs and environmental damage. The Company is exposed to risks relating to the inability to obtain timely regulatory approvals, surface access,access to third party gathering and processing facilities, transportation and other third party related operation risks. The Company is subject to industry conditionsincluding changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced.There are uncertainties in estimating the Company’s reserve base due to the complexities in estimated future production, costs and timing of expenses and futurecapital. The Company is subject to the risk that it will not be able to fulfill the contractual obligations required to retain its rights to explore, develop and exploit anyof its properties. The financial risks the Company is exposed to include, but are not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions in Canada and Trinidad,continued volatility in market prices for oil, the impact of significant declines in market prices for oil, the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and externalsources, changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws, royalties and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry, fluctuations in interest rates, theCanadian dollar to United States dollar exchange rate and the Canadian dollar to Trinidad and Tobago dollar exchange rate.

Oil and Gas Reserves
The reserves information summarized in this presentation are from the Company’s December 31, 2017 independent reserve report prepared by Touchstone’sindependent reserves evaluator, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (“GLJ”), dated March 7, 2018, as well as the Company’s prior period reports, as individually noted inthis presentation. Each of these reports were prepared in accordance with definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas EvaluationHandbook and National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). All December 31, 2017 reserves presented are based onGLJ’s forecast pricing dated January 1, 2018 and estimated costs effective December 31, 2017. Additional reserves information as required under NI 51-101 areincluded in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2018.
The estimated future net revenue figures contained in this presentation do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves. There is noassurance that the forecast price and costs assumptions contained in the Company’s reserves evaluation will be attained and variances could be material. Therecovery and reserves estimates of crude oil provided herein are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actualcrude oil reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. The reserves evaluator forecasts reserve volumes and future cash flows basedupon current and historical well performance through to the economic production limit of individual wells. Notwithstanding established precedence and contractualoptions for the continuation and renewal of the Company’s existing operating agreements, in many cases the forecast economic limit of individual wells are beyondthe current term of the relevant operating agreements. There is no certainty as to any renewal of the Company’s existing operating arrangements.
Oil and Gas Metrics
This presentation may contain certain oil and gas metrics that are commonly used in the oil and gas industry such as finding and development costs, reservesadditions, reserve replacement ratio, reserve life index and recycle ratio. These metrics do not have standardized meanings or standardized methods of calculationand therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readerswith additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company, andfuture performance may not compare to the performance in prior periods and therefore such metrics should not be unduly relied upon. The Company uses these oiland gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Company’s operations over time. Readers arecautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this presentation, should not be relied upon forinvestment purposes.
Finding and development costs are the sum of capital expenditures excluding capitalized general and administrative costs and corporate capital expendituresincurred in the period and the change in future development costs required to develop those reserves. Finding and development costs per barrel is determined bydividing current period net reserve additions to the corresponding period’s finding and development cost. The aggregate of the exploration and development costsincurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding anddevelopment costs related to reserves additions for that year.
Net reserve additions are calculated as the change in reserves from the beginning to the end of the applicable period excluding period production.
Reserves replacement ratio is calculated as period net reserve additions divided by period production.
Reserve life index is calculated as total Company gross reserves divided by annual production.
Recycle ratios are calculated by dividing the current period finding and development costs per barrel to operating netbacks before hedging in the correspondingperiod (see “Non-GAAP Measures”). The recycle ratio compares netbacks from existing reserves to the cost of finding new reserves and may not accurately indicatethe investment success unless the replacement of reserves are of equivalent quality as the produced reserves.

Drilling Locations
This presentation discloses drilling locations in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations andprobable locations are derived from the Company's reserves evaluation of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. effective December 31, 2017 and account for locationsthat have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the prospective acreage associated withthe Company’s assets and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do nothave attributed reserves. Of the approximately 208 (net) drilling locations identified herein, 62 are proved locations, 28 are probable locations and the remaining areunbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by Management as an estimation of potential multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation ofapplicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked drilling locations and ifdrilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves or production. The locations on which the Company will drill wells willultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, crude oil prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that can beobtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbookeddrilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where Management has less information about the characteristics of thereservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result inadditional oil and gas reserves or production.
Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation may contain terms commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as funds flow from operations per share, operating netback and netdebt. These terms do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and may not be comparable to similar measurespresented by other companies.
The Company calculates funds flow from operations per share by dividing funds flow from operations by the weighted average number of common sharesoutstanding during the applicable period.
The Company uses operating netback as a key performance indicator of field results. Operating netback is presented on a per barrel basis and is calculated bydeducting royalties and operating expenses from petroleum revenue. Operating netback is presented herein prior to realized gains or losses on commodityderivative contracts. The Company considers operating netback to be a key measure as it demonstrates Touchstone’s profitability relative to current commodityprices. This measurement assists Management and investors in evaluating operating results on a per barrel basis to analyze performance on a historical basis.
Net debt (surplus) is calculated by summing the Company’s working capital and undiscounted non-current interest bearing liabilities. Working capital is defined as
current assets less current liabilities. The Company uses this information to assess its true debt and liquidity position and to manage capital and liquidity risk.
