Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: business objectives, plans and strategies; exploration and development plans, including a workover program at McCully, field activities planned for 2010, an inlet compressor uplift at McCully; characteristics of the Upper Frederick Brook shale; contingent resources at Elgin; Apache's drilling and completion plans; a development program at Anticosti, including testing, evaluation and technical goals, and timing thereof; and the potential of "Old Harry". Forward-looking statements are based on Corridor's current beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Corridor concerning anticipated financial performance, business prospects, strategies, regulatory developments, future natural gas commodity prices, future natural gas production levels, the ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities, the impact of increasing competition, the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, and the ability to add production and reserves through development and exploration activities, and on Apache's plans. Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which are inherently uncertain, are based on estimates and assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that contribute to the possibility that the future events or circumstances contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur. There can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which forward-looking statements are based will in fact be realized. Actual results will differ, and the difference may be material and adverse to Corridor and its shareholders. These factors include, but are not limited to risks associated with oil and gas exploration, financial risks, substantial capital requirements, bank financing, government regulation, environmental, prices, risks may not be insurable and reserves estimates. Further information regarding these factors and additional factors may be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in Corridor's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2009, a copy of which is available at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and Corridor does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Resource Disclosure "Contingent resources" means those quantities of petroleum estimated, on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as "contingent resources" the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early project stage. Resources and contingent resources do not constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. Reserves and resources will vary from its reserve and resource estimates, and those variations could be material. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable to produce any portion of the resources. GLJ's contingent resources report includes a "Low Estimate", "Best Estimate" and "High Estimate". The Low Estimate is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate. The Best Estimate is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. The High Estimate is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.

McCully Field Overview


Don LeBlanc
Chief Reservoir/Production Engineer

McCully Production
A total of 39 wells have been drilled into the McCully structure (plus 1 in the Caledonia oil structure) Currently, there are 30 producing wells in McCully To the end of May 2010, McCully has produced 28.9 Bscf Average rate for May 2010 was 18.9 mmscf/d

2010 Well Activity


(to mid-June 2010)
One horizontal well (L-37) was drilled into the structure to target the shallow G sands The purpose of the well was to evaluate a non-fracture stimulation completion option The well was completed over 75% of its length with an uncemented perforated casing So far tests have yielded lowrate gas (200 mscf/d)
1500m

2010 Field Activity


(to mid-June 2010)
Stage 1 of a workover program designed to stabilize and increase field production, 3 wells were targeted for remedial work The wells had various chemical/mechanical treatments applied and the production response was monitored for 30 days On an aggregate basis, maximum uplift for all 3 wells was 2.5 mmscf/d The 30 day average uplift for the 3 wells was 1.5 mmscf/d

McCully
There has been a planned reduction in drilling activity in the McCully Field during 2009 & 2010 As expected, the initial high rates of decline observed at the wells has become a more conventional decline 2010 field activities are being targeted to increase and stabilize production

Planned Inlet Compressor Uplift Analysis


Assumes compressor available on October 1, 2010 Two forecasts: One based on field IPR (original analysis) One based on calibrated GAP/MBal/Prosper model Assuming a 200 psi inlet pressure, the calibrated GAP model delivers 3500mmscf more incremental gas over 5 years The two forecasts are similar for the first 12 months of production Peak uplift for the first month should be around 5 mmscf/d

Upper Frederick Brook - 500 m thick - Composed of clay, quartz and dolomite - Tested gas in G-41 - GLJ estimates 43.2 TCF GIP 625 BCF/Mi2 Lower Frederick Brook - 600+ m thick - Composed of albite, dolomite and quartz - Producing gas in F-58 - GLJ estimates 24.1 TCF GIP

CONCLUSIONS
Testing and production indicates that both the Lower and Upper Frederick Brook shale are productive This productivity extends widely across the basin from the McCully Field to the Elgin area. Although basin area is small, the shale thickness means that the amount of resource is large
