Business Plan
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Business of the Company The General Oil and Gas Company (“General Oil and Gas” or the “Company”) will be a reporting company listed on the TSXV exchange that remains to be identified. General Oil and Gas will identify and target potential acquisitions in the oil and gas sector. General Oil and Gas has identified a target company, General Oil and Gas Energy Inc., (“General Oil and Gas”) that has significant proven and probable oil reserves in the province of Alberta. This company can be acquired as a whole or in part as a ‘qualifying transaction’ and offers General Oil and Gas significant revenue potential. A recent AJM Deloitte Detailed Reserves and Net Present Value report effective on January 31, 2012, shows a value of $133 million at a discount factor of 10% before income tax for the proven and probable reserves currently in General Oil and Gas Energy Inc. In house evaluation completed in 2013 shows an estimated value of proven and probable reserves to be $245 million. General Oil and Gas will benefit from the option to purchase General Oil and Gas in whole or in part as one of its portfolio of investments.
1.2 Company Strategy General Oil and Gas’s strategy is to acquire small and mid-sized low-risk E&P2 energy companies in Alberta, Canada. Key focus areas for its energy investments are domestic upstream businesses that are engaged in the exploration, acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves in Alberta, Canada. General Oil and Gas will primarily focus its efforts on acquiring oil and gas properties with proven developed and undeveloped reserves that are economically attractive with strong upside potential. Through its investments, General Oil and Gas plans to generate both current income and capital appreciation for its shareholders. By investing in General Oil and Gas, stockholders will be able to participate in the company’s portfolio while holding a publicly traded stock. General Oil and Gas is unique in that it will be a public company that focuses on making investments in good value assets.
1.3 Primary Objectives The primary objectives of the Company are to: Complete a “Qualifying Transaction”. Acquire already discovered oil and gas properties in Alberta, Canada with development opportunities and achieve a high rate of return from low risk near-toproduction projects.

E&P signifies ‘exploration and production” in oil & gas companies. 1
Business Plan 1.4 Investment Criteria Management will consider many factors in assessing its participations and acquisitions including: the ratio of risk to reward; the length of the payback period; the anticipated rate of return; the presence of multi-zone potential; near term market access; the amount of infrastructure in place; the amount of proved reserves anticipated; and the life of the reserves. General Oil and Gas’s investment criteria include the following:
General Oil and Gas seeks to make engineering based, development oriented investments in the energy industry that are low risk and near the production stage.
General Oil and Gas will structure transactions to generate an appropriate total return for the risk undertaken
The NPV (Net Present Value) for General Oil and Gas Energy as of January 31, 2012 was calculated by AJM Deloitte to be $133 Million at a discount of 10% for the Proved and Probable Reserves.
Through the combination of assets, security, diligence, structure, and appropriate pricing, General Oil and Gas will endeavor to provide a good risk/reward for its investors.
1.5 Target Acquisition A target acquisition has been identified, General Oil and Gas Energy Inc.3, with proven and probable oil reserves with a net present value of $133 million. Initial production can begin in 3 to 4 months post financing for immediate cash flow. Management constantly examines current and old oil properties in Alberta, Canada with potential to return to oil recovery and production. To date, they have identified five high value properties with a value that has been supported in a report issued on January 31, 2012 by AJM Deloitte4.

Business Plan 1.6 Canadian Oil & Gas Sector The biggest energy story in North America is currently Alberta, Canada. Alberta holds most of the oil and gas which extends from the Rocky Mountains to the Canadian Shield, and which contains one of the world's largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas. Oil reserves in Canada were estimated at 179 billion barrels and over 95% of this oil is in the province of Alberta. Alberta contains nearly all of Canada's oil sands and 39% of Canada's remaining conventional oil reserves. Canada produced 15.3 million cubic metres of crude oil and equivalent hydrocarbons in October 2013 up 3.3% from September and 8.4% from a year ago 5. Over the year, in 2013, crude oil exports increased 17.8%, with approximately 74% of total production being exported to other markets.
1.7 Production and Exports Canada has the second largest oil reserves in the world, with over 175 billion barrels of oil within its borders. Canada sends more than 95 percent of its oil exports to the United States, the bulk of which goes to Midwestern refineries for refining and processing.

The U.S. and Canada already enjoy the largest trading partnership in the world. Sourcing more of our energy from a friendly, trusted and nearby neighbor will help reduce U.S. reliance on energy resources from elsewhere. While the U.S. should expand the use of its own domestic energy resources, imported oil will continue to play a key role in meeting energy demand and oil from Canada can help meet those supply and demand challenges. Buoyed by strong crude prices, drilling for oil and gas in Western Canada have hit a five-year high in December 2012 as producers put in motion their winter action plans6. The number of rigs in the ground in the second week in January reached an 83 per cent utilization rate, a level for the beginning of January not seen since the heady days of 2006 when service companies were frantically trying to capture high natural gas and oil prices.

Business Plan To date, in 2012, the price of crude oil is hovering around $100 per barrel which presents substantial margins for oil companies.
1.8 Conventional Oil Development The Company believes that a significant investment opportunity exists in the oil and gas sector in Alberta. In the opinion of the Company, there is a wealth of high quality oil and gas projects that are underdeveloped and have been divested, making them available to observant acquisition parties. While tar sands have been all the news in Alberta, the past year has seen a return to drilling of conventional oil resources due to advances in technology, especially in horizontal drilling methods or EOR7. By re-assessing vintage properties in relation with new technical applications, production of these properties can resume profitably. 2010 can now be viewed as a restart year for the conventional oil industry not just based on the resurgence in the number of wells drilled, driven by oil price, but more importantly based on the number of horizontal wells drilled driven by the success stories in shale gas developments. The industry is returning to old, thought to be depleted, reservoirs equipped with horizontal well drilling techniques to recover more of the resource that remains in the ground. The number of horizontal wells grew from 24 percent of oil wells drilled in 2006 to 62 percent of oil direct wells in 2013 and the future looks like the trend will continue. This report examines the growth potential in drilling activity, the effect of change towards horizontal drilling, and the increased production potential from conventional oil within the Western Canada region. Over the 2010-2035 period the estimated investments, reinvestments, and revenues from operation of the existing and future conventional oil developments in western Canada are $1,059 billion8.
Total Canadian GDP impact as a result of the investment is estimated at close to $1,056 billion over the 25-year period. Canadian employee compensation will be almost $259 billion over this time period. Employment in Canada (direct, indirect, and induced) is expected to grow from 152,000 jobs to a peak of 227,000 jobs in 2020. Alberta royalties are expected to grow from $0.75 billion in 2010 to a peak of $4.7 billion in 2027.

1.12 Public Company Operation Phases Phase 1:
Complete the ‘Qualifying Transaction’ by acquiring the target oil company.
Initiate and launch the operations, set-up the administration, commence legal and accounting procedures, file papers to take the company public, and develop marketing materials. The Company will continue to raise capital on the public market for acquisitions and investments.
Phase 2: General Oil and Gas has identified one acquisition, General Oil and Gas Energy Inc., which has five properties with low risk identified drilling targets with high potential in Alberta. The Company will invest in and develop these properties employing senior oil and gas expertise from its consortium of strategic relationships in the industry resulting in cash flow within 3 months.
1.13 Future Plans The funds garnered from the Company’s entry into the public markets will be used for the further identification and acquisition of strategic oil properties, continued exploration, development and drilling operations The company intends to increase its holdings through the purchase of additional low risk high yield oil and gas properties in Alberta. Some of these properties may be purchased from the divestiture programs of larger oil and gas corporations.

Business Plan 1.14 Project Features
All locations are in existing reefs that are not fully depleted.
Easy access. All the properties in the target acquisition are in Alberta in the corridor Northeast of Red Deer to Northwest of Edmonton.
Located in existing fields with good infrastructure that may be utilized otherwise a simple facility structure can be applied.
2nd event wells to be drilled not far from the original location that has proved to produce significant volumes from the un-swept parts of the pool above the Oil / Water contact.
Threshold for positive economics is extremely low.
5% Royalty applies to the first year to a maximum of 50,000 Barrels.
Isolated one LSD in size.
Minimal risk (limited to drilling/Completion/Equipment).
Target is bypassed oil combined with land expiry and high oil prices that lead to very good economics. Low risk and high return are principal characteristics for the opportunity.
Target fields are strong candidates for CO2 miscible floods; which could increase the oil recovery by 10-15%.
Joseph Smithson has 30 years’ experience with very strong technical background. Worked with large companies that had ownership in similar reefs (i.e. Petro-Canada, BP Canada, Amerada Hess, Union Pacific Resources / Anadarko Canada), as well as evaluated Oil & Gas properties with McDaniel & Associates and directly worked with Mr. Rod McDaniel from 1984 to 1987. Also started a successful venture that has a parallel business model to General Oil and Gas's business model, in December 2004 and sold the company to ARC Resources in December 2006.
General Oil and Gas uses a unique software analysis tool that would analyze data from every well in Western Canada, then identifies and sorts profitable high quality opportunities. Currently General Oil and Gas is targeting oil.
Additional opportunities have been identified and we are positioned to post, bid, and acquire.
1.15 The Opportunity
General Oil and Gas offers an opportunity to obtain a position in a fairly valued, well run oil and gas capital company in Alberta, Canada.
The experience of its management team and its ability to determine the significance of oil properties is key to the success of the company.
Management has a previous record of sourcing and selling oil properties for profit.
8
Business Plan
General Oil and Gas will utilize the $60 million in funds raised to complete the target acquisition and commence drilling on 5 target properties as well as undertake future acquisitions and exploration.
General Oil and Gas has a current valuation of $133m from AJM Deloitte. The cost to acquire General Oil and Gas Energy Inc. is $15m plus stock, which will offer great leverage for growth.
Expenses on drilling wells for 2 years estimated at $16,628,600.
Total EBITDA is projected to be $104,853,044 in four years.
An investment of $28,371,400 is being sought for new additional acquisitions and exploration purposes.
The income statement does not include revenues from the new additional acquisitions and exploration opportunities.
Once income is incorporated from additional exploration and acquisition opportunities, the net income and valuation of the company will improve substantially.

2 TARGET ACQUISITION – GENERAL OIL AND GAS ENERGY INC. 2.1 General Oil and Gas Purpose General Oil and Gas will acquire and develop petroleum and natural gas properties. The company has predetermined one acquisition with five properties and 18 potential wells that it considers significant: General Oil and Gas Energy Inc. General Oil and Gas is a tightly held private E & P company that owns 100% of strategic locations in five prolific light and medium oil reefs and two Gas fields in Alberta, Canada. General Oil and Gas’s lands offer significant development upside and revenue from production. A feature of the five General Oil and Gas Energy properties is that they are older wells formerly drilled by major oil producers that have been abandoned or sold. The properties show significant remaining oil reserves that can now be returned to production.

2.3 Asset Value In a report issued to General Oil and Gas on January 31, 2013, AJM Deloitte estimated the Net Present Value before income tax to be $133 million discounted at 10% for proven and probable reserves. An in-house evaluation completed in April 2013, estimates a Net Present Value of $245 million for proven and probable reserves before income tax and discounted at 10%.
2.4 Ownership General Oil and Gas acquired 3,472 Hectares with high potential, low risk Oil and Gas reserves, mostly in well-known Lavoie and Norco reef structures through Land Sales by the Alberta government (NO Environmental Liabilities). The oil drilling spacing unit is 16 hectares per well. There are 18 drilling opportunities. The lands are strategically located close to Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Development Area (potential CO2 sources) where major operators are evaluating enhanced oil recovery schemes via CO2 flood, where recovery factor can be increased by 5 to 15%; a modest 10
Business Plan increase in recovery of the original oil in place translates to a material impact on reserves and production.
2.5 Anticipated Production Levels General Oil and Gas is strategically set to take advantage of excellent high return drilling opportunities to produce upwards of 1,600 Barrels per day.
2.6 General Oil and Gas Business Model Low risk and high return are the principal characteristics of General Oil and Gas’s property selection and business model. The concept was to identify drilling spacing units that previously produced oil and watered out due to coning. A new well to be drilled a short distance away would be able to produce significant volume of reserves that would otherwise be missed. General Oil and Gas’s Business Model parallels a previous successful venture Grand Carlyle Energy Inc. (GKEI). GKEI was incorporated in 2004 and sold in 2006. GKEI acquired a land base in the Greenwater field in the prolific Lavoie reef in Central Alberta.
2.7 Proprietary Software General Oil and Gas uses a proprietary software analysis tool that analyzes Oil and Gas data from every well available in western Canada, then identifies and sorts profitable high quality opportunities. Aside from what General Oil and Gas has already acquired, other opportunities have been identified and the Company plans continue to source and evaluate properties. The Company is well positioned to post, bid, and acquire properties at any time, or compete to buy them if identified and posted by other companies.

Business Plan
3 EOR – ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY 3.1 Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods A range of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are breathing new life into the world’s abandoned oil fields. Despite only recovering around 20 per cent of the oil in certain fields, the oil field’s operator, (Shell or Exxonmobil or others), ceased production from various sites in the ‘90’s when the high cost of extracting the remaining highly viscous oil simply could not be justified given the market price. But now with oil prices above $100 and advanced technologies that pump steam via horizontal wells hundreds of metres beneath the surface, oil can begin to flow once again and operators now hope to extract a further millions barrels over the next few years.
3.2 The easy oil is disappearing and new oil fields are expensive The oil field’s rebirth is part of a wider trend in the fossil-fuel industry. Much of the planet’s untapped reserves are either deep beneath the sea or in environmentally sensitive areas. This has triggered a revaluation of previously abandoned oil fields and given momentum to a suite of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques that will bring it to the surface. Diederik Boersma, Shell’s R&D team leader for EOR states that all the new oil fields that are found today are in the Arctic or in the water. As this new oil is expensive, returning to existing oil fields and using EOR becomes very attractive. One of the uncertainties in oil-field development is finding the oil; that uncertainty is not there if existing oil fields are re-opened with advanced equipment.’ Traditionally, oil fields have largely been exploited through natural depletion: engineers drill a hole and the pressure in the reservoir forces out the oil. This typically leaves around 80 per cent of the oil in the ground, so energy companies then inject water or gas into the reservoir to force out more of the oil, boosting the recovery factor to approximately 30 per cent. But this is only successful up to a point. Water will follow the path of least resistance, leaving some areas of a reservoir untouched. And differences in viscosity and the effect of microscopic interactions between water and oil can also hamper recovery. EOR — a range of technologies that typically use chemicals, miscible gas or heat to alter the properties of the reservoir fluids — could, some claim, boost the recovery factor to as much as 70 per cent. With oil prices rising and concerns over future energy supply mounting, the technology has some momentum behind it and many projects which use a form of thermal EOR can begin to recover more oil from abandoned wells, a compelling illustration of the technology’s benefits. Current estimates for the percentage of oil that can be recovered using EOR vary between 50 and 70 per cent compared with the average 20 per cent achieved using natural depletion.

Notes to Reader: The total investment required is estimated at $60m and will be invested as follows:
The General Oil and Gas will utilize the $60 million in funds raised to complete the target acquisition and commence drilling on 5 target properties as well as undertake future acquisitions and exploration.
The cost to acquire General Oil and Gas Energy Inc. is $15m plus stock. General Oil and Gas has a current valuation of $133m from AJM Deloitte.
Expenses on drilling wells for 2 years estimated at $16,628,600.
A portion of the investment or $28,371,400 will be utilized for new additional acquisitions and exploration purposes.
Total EBITDA is projected to be $104,853,044 in four years without the additional revenues from new drilling opportunities.
The income statement does not include revenues from the new additional acquisitions and exploration opportunities.
Once income is incorporated from additional exploration and acquisition opportunities, the net income and valuation of the company will improve substantially.
