Our History Vermilion was founded in 1994 as a Canadian oil and gas exploration and production company focused on assets in Alberta, Canada. In 1997, Vermilion took the highly innovative step of expanding internationally through the acquisition of oil-producing assets in France. Since that time, Vermilion has continued to add assets to its portfolio focusing on three core regions: North America, Europe and Australia. Vermilion has successfully leveraged its international diversification to outperform the relevant energy and broad market indices over the long-term. 1994 Vermilion Resources Ltd. was launched as an Alberta-based oil and gas exploration and production company. IPO in April, 1994 on the Alberta Stock Exchange at $0.30 per share. 1996 Vermilion’s production reached 1,800 boe/d by the end of 1996 following modest drilling and acquisition programs. Listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 27, 1996. Overvalued market for properties in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin resulted in Vermilion management seeking international expansion opportunities. 1997 Acquired 4,000 boe/d of production in France from Exxon in January 1997 for $45 million. Vermilion increased production from the newly acquired French assets by 50% to 6,000 boe/d by the end of 1997 through a highly successful workover and recompletion program. 1999 Acquired a 39% interest in Aventura Energy Inc. (“Aventura”) in exchange for a royalty valued at $4.4 million on certain Vermilion Canadian properties. Over the next five years, Vermilion increased its ownership in Aventura to 72% through property transactions and participation in share issues. Aventura makes the largest onshore gas discovery in Trinidad in the previous 40 years. 2000 Completed an acquisition increasing the working interest in the Utikuma property to 94%, adding another 1,100 boe/d for $32.8 million. 2002 Vermilion’s Board of Directors recommended the reorganization of Vermilion to an energy trust. The reorganization targeted increased shareholder value by enabling Vermilion to better compete for capital while also providing more efficient structures for Vermilion's assets and strategy of property optimization, drilling and acquisition. Prior to the reorganization, production peaked at 26,000 boe/d in Q4 2002, not including minor production from Aventura. 2003 99.9% of shareholders vote in favor of the plan to reorganize as a trust.

Acquired 5,900 boe/d of natural gas production in the Netherlands for $85.5 million. This represented Vermilion’s second international expansion following the 1997 acquisition of assets in France. Vermilion’s continued focus on international opportunities reflected continuing high prices for Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin assets. Launched Verenex Energy Inc. to accelerate international exploration opportunities. Verenex completed an IPO at $2.50 per share and began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. Verenex was a successful bidder in Libya's first auction of exploration rights, winning access to a 1.5 million acre block in the Ghadames Basin. 2005 Completed an acquisition of 60% of the offshore Wandoo field and platform located on the northwest shelf of Australia adding 4,800 boe/d for $95 million in March.

Vermilion also acquired the remaining 10% interest in those same properties from Exxon’s partner at similar metrics. Combined, these acquisitions added a total of 3,900 boe/d of new light oil production to Vermilion. 2007 Increased the monthly distribution by 12% to $0.19 per unit. Vermilion acquired the remaining 40% interest in the Wandoo asset, offshore Australia, representing 3,000 boe/d for $126.2 million. 2008 Drilled and completed first ever infill wells from the Wandoo Platform, offshore Australia, adding 2,000 boe/d of production 2009 Verenex Energy Inc. sold to the Libyan Investment Authority for total cash consideration of $7.2882 per share.

All four wells were highly successful and nearly doubled production levels for Vermilion in the Netherlands over the next 18 months. 2010 Vermilion converted to a corporation from an income trust effective September 1, 2010. This conversion stemmed from changes made by the Government of Canada to the taxation of income trusts.
