Forward Looking Statements (Sites and E-mail)

Certain statements contained in the Sites or in e-mails sent by CEP’s authorized representatives may contain projections, "forward-looking statements" or "forward looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "continuous", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", or similar words suggesting future outcomes. Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of CEP’s management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors (many of which are beyond the control of CEP) that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: operational risks in exploration, development and production; delays or changes in plans; competition for and/or inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and resources, undeveloped lands, skilled personnel and supplies; risks associated with the uncertainty of resource estimates; governmental regulation of the oil and gas industry, including environmental regulation; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing reserves; the uncertainty of estimates and projections of production, costs and expenses; unanticipated operating events or performance which can reduce production or cause production to be shut in or delayed; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; stock market volatility; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; access to capital; and other factors. Readers are cautioned that this list of risks, uncertainties and other factors should not be construed as exhaustive.

In addition, certain factors and assumptions were applied by CEP in drawing conclusions and making those forward looking statements. By their nature, those statements reflect the views, beliefs and assumptions of CEP’s management's or authorized representatives at the time such statements were made and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and assumptions, including, without limitation: the timing and costs of drilling and completion expenditures; currency, exchange and interest rates; the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which CEP operates; the ability of CEP to obtain and retain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; and the general stability of the economic and political environment in which the CEP operates. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors, risks, uncertainties, and assumptions should not be construed as exhaustive.

Many factors, risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including without limitation any one or more of them cited above could cause CEP's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these factors, risks, or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying CEP's looking statements prove incorrect, CEP's actual results may vary materially from those described in the Sites or in e-mails sent by CEP’s authorized representatives. Hence, the forward-looking statements identified in the Sites or in e-mails sent by CEP’s authorized representatives are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. CEP does not intend or undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements so that such information will conform to actual results or to changes in our expectations or otherwise except as required by applicable securities legislation. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Additional Disclaimer

CEP is not a reporting issuer and CEP’s securities are not traded on any stock exchange in any jurisdiction, including without limitation, in Canada or the United States, and thus, CEP is not subject to regulation by any stock exchange.
