Forward-looking statements
All monetary amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated
This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable Canadian securities laws
concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. Forward-looking statements and
forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production and reserve life of the various oil and
gas projects of Pacific Rubiales; synergies and financial impact of completed acquisitions; the benefits of the acquisitions and the development
potential of the properties of Pacific Rubiales; the future price of oil and natural gas; the estimation of oil and gas reserves; the realization of oil and
gas reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; success of exploration activities; and currency
exchange rate fluctuations. Except for statements of historical fact relating to the company, certain information contained herein constitutes
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently characterized by words such as “plan,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,”
“believe,” “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking
statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of
assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of
Pacific Rubiales and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results
anticipated by such forward-looking statements include changes in market conditions, risks relating to international operations, fluctuating oil and
gas prices and currency exchange rates, changes in project parameters, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and
expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the oil and gas industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated,
acquisitions not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected as well as those
risk factors discussed or referred to in the annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for Pacific Rubiales filed
with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.com. Although Pacific Rubiales has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements,
there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Pacific Rubiales undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or
opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Statements concerning oil and gas reserve estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they
involve estimates of the oil and gas that will be encountered if the property is developed. Comparative market information is as of a date prior to
the date of this presentation.
Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

ODL pipeline: pathway to the future
ODL pipeline is highly strategic
– Only infrastructure in place in Southern Llanos Basin –
a key heavy oil basin in Colombia
– Special Purpose Vehicle – Ecopetrol (65%) / Pacific
Rubiales (35%)
– Indefinite term with ability to take 3rd party oil
Benefits of ODL pipeline
– Allows the Rubiales field to produce to its potential
•
170,000 bbl/d capacity – for transport to
end markets
•
Potential to add compression for expansion
to 300,000 bbl/d
– Reduces transportation costs from $15/bbl to $7/bbl
Timeline
– Completed on time and on budget, meeting market
expectations
– Pipeline is 100% complete / Pumping Station 90%
complete
– Inaugurated on September 14, 2009
ODL pipeline is crucial to the future development of the Rubiales and Quifa fields
and other exploration activity in the Llanos Basin

extension and provide confidence for further
drilling plans for Quifa Block
– 6 exploration wells drilled (successful)
– Low risk / high payoff
– Synergies with the Rubiales infrastructure
– Additional drilling campaign at Quifa
– 6 appraisal and 3 exploratory wells by end of
2009

"B" and "C"
– six appraisal wells to be spudded on prospects
"D", "E" and "H”
– 20 explor/appr wells during 2010
Other major highlights of the remaining 2009
exploration program
