Operational
Review
Late in the third quarter, RedWater completed and equipped a
previously drilled Mannville light oil well (50% W.I.) in the
Redwater area. The well is currently producing at a rate of 30
barrels of oil per day.
At Davey Lake, the tie-in of a Pekisko light oil well with
associated gas was completed and is expected to be on production on
December 2, 2013. This well was tested 84 bbls/d of 42° API oil and
750 mcf/d of natural gas over a 48 hour period after
completion.
In the Westlock and Fairydell-Bon Accord areas horizontal
drilling programs are being reviewed to further develop several
significant Leduc and Wabamun producing oil pools owned by
RedWater.
An ongoing optimization and re-completion program of recently
acquired shut-in and producing wells, combined with the Davey Lake
tie-in, is expected to further increase production in the fourth
quarter.
Average daily production in September 2013, was 151 barrels of
oil per day and 763 mcf of natural gas per day (127 boepd) for a
total of 278 boepd.

Funds flow from operations are not measures that have any
standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or Canadian GAAP and
accordingly are referred to as non - GAAP measures. Therefore,
these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented
by other issuers. These measures have been described and presented
here and in our MD&A in order to provide shareholders and
potential investors with additional information regarding
Redwater's liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance
its operations. Management utilizes "Funds flow from operations" as
a key measure to assess the ability of RedWater to finance
operating activities and capital activities. All references to
funds flow from operations throughout this report are calculated
based on cash flows from operating activities before changes in
non-cash working capital. Cash flows from operating activities are
the closest comparable figure which is calculated in accordance
with IFRS and Canadian GAAP.
BOE Equivalent
Barrel of oil equivalents or 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.
