<h3>
	Bigstone East</h3>
<p>
	In Q4 2012, Delphi completed the drilling of its fourth Montney horizontal well 15-10-60-23 W5M with a surface location at 16-03-60-23 W5M. The well has reached its planned total measured depth of 4,455 metres resulting in a horizontal section in the Montney formation of 1,424 metres, ahead of schedule and at lower costs. Completion operations consisting of a multi-stage slick water hybrid frac program are expected to commence in early January.<br />
	<br />
	After a start to developing the Montney play through 2012, including construction of 100 percent owned infrastructure, Delphi&rsquo;s capital program will now be allocated primarily to the drilling of new wells and filling up the existing capacity.</p>
<h3>
	Bigstone West</h3>
<p>
	In Q1 2012, the 9-4 horizontal well had an initial production rate of 220 boe/d. Initial production performance is encouraging and consistent with initial discovery well production rates of other analogous Montney oil pools along trend.</p>
<p>
	In Q2 2012, a major oil and gas producer has recently licensed four Montney drilling locations offsetting Delphi&rsquo;s Montney interest lands at Bigstone. The horizontal well license is less than two miles east of Delphi&rsquo;s Bigstone West land block and one vertical location is only 200 metres west of these same lands, accelerating efforts to optimize and de-risk the Montney oil and gas resource on Delphi&rsquo;s 27 sections in Bigstone West.</p>
<h3>
	Bigstone South</h3>
<p>
	In Q4 2012, Delphi announced a farm-in agreement. The farm-in contemplates drilling one vertical test well at Bigstone South, with an option to drill and complete a horizontal well in the Montney formation earning a 75% working interest in up to 32.5 gross sections of land containing Nordegg and Montney rights.</p>
<p>
	The test well is scheduled to commence drilling during the second quarter of 2013.</p>
<h2>
	Gething Program</h2>
<p>
	Delphi remains encouraged by the results of its first Gething horizontal well with a surface location of 3-16-60-23W5. The well was completed with a 10 stage fracture treatment over the 879 m horizontal lateral. The well has produced over its first 180 days at an average rate of 2.2 mmcf/d sales (485 boe/d).</p>
