Crew Energy Inc.- Announces 2012 Year End Reserves

Page 5 of 6

Notes:

(1) 2012 figures include information based on estimated unaudited financial results that may change on the completion of the audited financial statements.

(2) The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.

(3) Crew calculates finding, development and acquisition costs which incorporate both the costs and associated reserve additions related to acquisitions net of any dispositions during the year. Since acquisitions and divestitures have had a significant impact on Crew's annual reserve replacement costs, the Company believes that FD&A costs provide a meaningful portrayal of Crew's cost structure.

(4) The 2012 recycle ratio is calculated using the Company's 2012 4th quarter operating netback of $22.14 per boe (unaudited) which includes commodity related hedging gains for the period.

Net Asset Value

The following table provides a calculation of Crew's estimated net asset value at December 31, 2012 based on the estimated future net revenues associated with Crew's proved plus probable reserves before income tax and discounted at 10% as presented in the Sproule Report and including Crew's internal assessment of undeveloped land values.
