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 degrees 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.
