Forward-Looking Information
This news release may contain forward-looking information and statements (collectively, "forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable securities laws that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including with respect to the anticipated approvals and timing for the start-up of certain facilities, the potential damage to the Company's facilities and other impacts on operations and production from the Alberta wildfires. The forward-looking information made herein speak only as of the date of this news release and, unless otherwise required by law, Tourmaline does not undertake any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking information to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Additional information on factors that could affect Tourmaline, or its operations or financial results, are included in Tourmaline's most recently filed Management's Discussion and Analysis (See "Forward-Looking Statements" therein), Annual Information Form (See "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" therein) and other reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) or Tourmaline's website (www.tourmalineoil.com).
BOE Equivalency
In this news release, "boepd" means barrel of oil equivalent per day and production information is presented on a "barrel of oil equivalent" or "BOE" basis. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: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. In addition, as the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
