Western Petroleum Management Ltd. has provided drilling management services for Korea National Oil Corporation's heavy oil operation in N.E. Alberta since 2006. WPM has supplied excellent drilling management services with particular detail to regulatory, safety, environmental, project cost control and technical issues. This ensured that our winter drilling campaign was completed on time and under budget which is commendable given the present inflationary conditions and lack of experienced personnel that have recently been observed within the heavy oil industry in Western Canada. Awarding a project management contract to WPM was the right decision for our company.

I would personally recommend the services that Western Petroleum Management can provide to the Oil & Gas Industry and in particular the heavy oil industry.

I was introduced to the principals of WPM in the spring of 2000 while they were the management of Lyse Petroleum Ltd. and I was President of Endeavour Resources Inc. On the basis of that meeting, I agreed to cooperate with Lyse in the development of the Sturgeon Lake Field, Alberta. Collectively, we were successful in developing the field from approximately 80 BOE/d in late 2000 to a max of 2,000 BOE/d in 2002 which added substantially to each participant's valuation. This symbiotic relationship, lead to the successful merger of Endeavour and Lyse in 2001 and a fruitful and rewarding relationship between the principals.

WPM's extensive and qualified management experience includes: prospect identification, geologic and geophysical evaluation and risk assessment; mineral and surface lease procurement; joint venture compliance and AFE budgeting; drilling (vertical and horizontal) design and planning; regulatory approvals; service procurement and supervision; drilling and completion operations; wellhead, pump jack, battery, pipeline and compression design and implementation; production operations and optimization; production delivery and reporting. This wide range of experience has been gained by management's direct and hands-on (and often personally accountable) involvement in multiple projects within Western Canada, and internationally, resulting in a management and technical knowledge base that has much to contribute to the geologic, engineering and economic success of any project.

WPM is represented by professional individuals, knowledgeable and skilled in their disciplines, competent and dedicated to the effective and efficient execution of the project and I can personally recommend their services.

International Sovereign Energy Corp. employed Western Petroleum Management Ltd. throughout 2006 and 2007 to manage all facets of field operations for International Sovereign in the western Canadian basin. Management included all preliminary drilling planning, regulatory approvals, drilling services attainment, drilling operations and well completion operations. The activity involved some twenty different projects in western Canada with heavy, light oil and gas projects. Western Petroleum also was instrumental in equipping wells with surface facilities, which enabled commercial sales for both gas and oil.

Western Petroleum Management has displayed good leadership skills in project management, technical competency and an ability to get the job done in a cost effective manner. I can personally recommend the services of Western Petroleum Management Ltd.

I first met Bernie Cabot in 1997 when we were both involved in two start-up junior oil and gas companies that had joint venture operations together. Bernie was providing technical support as well as drilling and completions engineering and supervision for both companies. Bernie and I have kept in casual contact since that time and more frequently with the start-up of our new companies, Western Petroleum Management and Power Play Resources.

Bernie is an extremely energetic and motivated oil and gas executive who is a very creative and innovative thinker. He is consistently investigating new and existing business opportunities in the oil and gas sector that have the potential to be both technically and economically successful. As a technical specialist, Bernie focuses his energies towards developing concepts that will optimize and increase oil and gas production from both existing and new projects. Bernie also focuses on ways and means to minimize capital expenditures required to execute these projects and to minimize the long term operating costs.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in working with Bernie Cabot on both large and small projects in the oil and gas sector.

Peace West Energy Corp. utilized Western Petroleum Management (WPM) services in the fall of 2006. Under tight conditions of drilling into expiry WPM performed the needed processes from AFE to rig release for our 7 well drilling and one completion program. WPM came within budget for the drilling program in a very expensive 2006 cost environment. WPM personal were great to work with and have the experience to deal with any situation quickly while keeping their clients interests and budgets at the forefront.
