This presentation contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("forward-looking information"). The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", “estimate”, “guidance”, "may", "will", "should", "believe", "plans“ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this presentation contains forward-looking information pertaining to the following, on the entire company basis and on an asset-level basis, as applicable: the proportion of our anticipated oil and gas production that is hedged and the effectiveness of such hedges in protecting our

adjusted funds flow or expected free cash flow in 2020; our drilling program, including future development locations and plans, the results from our drilling program and the timing of related production; oil and natural gas prices and differentials and our commodity risk management programs, in 2020 and in the future; expectations regarding our realized oil and natural gas prices; future efficiencies and reserves and production growth; capital spending levels in 2020 and in the future, along with its components and impact on our production levels and land holdings; the amount of our future abandonment and reclamation costs and asset retirement obligations; future environmental expenses; our future royalty and production and U.S. cash taxes; deferred income taxes, and our tax pools and the time at which we may pay Canadian cash taxes; net operating income and future adjusted funds flow levels, including on a per share and debt adjusted basis; future debt and working capital levels and net debt-to-adjusted funds flow ratios and adjusted payout ratios, financial capacity, liquidity and capital resources to fund capital spending and working capital requirements; the

amount and timing of future cash dividends that we may pay to our shareholders; and future acquisitions and dispositions, expecting timing thereof and use of proceeds therefrom; and our ESG initiatives, including greenhouse gas emissions and freshwater reduction targets in 2020.

The forward-looking information included in this presentation is not a guarantee of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information including, without limitation: continued low commodity price environment or further volatility; changes in realized prices of Enerplus’ products; changes in the demand for or supply of our products; unanticipated operating results, results from our capital spending activities or production declines; curtailment of our production to retain value, or due to low realized prices or

lack of adequate infrastructure; changes in tax or environmental laws, royalty rates, incentive programs or other regulatory matters; changes in our capital plans or by third party operators of our properties; increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inability to comply with debt covenants under our bank credit facility and outstanding senior notes; inaccurate estimation of our oil and gas reserves and contingent resources volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital markets; increased costs; a lack of adequate insurance coverage; the impact of competitors; reliance on industry partners; constraints on, or unavailability of, adequate pipeline and transportation capacity; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in our public disclosure documents (including, without limitation, those risks identified in our Annual Information Form, Form 40-F, and as described under “Risk Factors and Risk Management” in our First Quarter 2020 report and 2019 Annual MD&A dated February 21, 2020 (the “2019 MD&A”).

The forward-looking information contained in this presentation reflects several material factors, expectations and assumptions made by Enerplus including, without limitation: that we will conduct our operations and achieve results of operations as anticipated; that our development plans will achieve the expected results; the completion and timing of proposed projects (including in-serviced dates); that lack of adequate infrastructure will not result in curtailment of production and/or reduced realized prices beyond our current expectations; the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed industry conditions; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; the accuracy of the estimates of our reserves and resources volumes; commodity price and cost assumptions; the continued availability of adequate debt and/or equity financing and adjusted funds flow to fund our capital, operating and working capital requirements, and dividend payments as needed; the continued availability and sufficiency of our adjusted funds flow and availability under our bank credit facility to fund our working capital deficiency; our ability to negotiate debt covenant

relief under our bank credit facility and outstanding senior notes if required; the ability to repay certain debts on the estimated timelines, or at all; the availability of third party services; and the extent of our liabilities. In addition, our expected 2020 capital expenditures and operating strategy described in this presentation is based on the rest of the year prices and exchange rate of: a WTI price of US$22.80/bbl, a NYMEX price of US$2.23/Mcf, and a USD/CDN exchange rate of 1.40. Although we believe the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.

The purpose of our adjusted funds flow disclosure, as well as the net operating income disclosure from both the Corporation’s Marcellus and Canadian Waterflood assets is to assist readers in understanding Enerplus’ expected and targeted

financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Certain measures used in this presentation do not have a standardized meaning under United States GAAP (“U.S. GAAP”). Please refer to “Non-GAAP measures” in the “Advisories” and to our First Quarter 2020 report and our 2019 MD&A for reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The forward-looking information contained in this presentation speaks only as of the date of this presentation, and none of Enerplus or its subsidiaries assume any obligation to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws.

AssumptionsAll amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent and Cubic Feet of Gas EquivalentThis presentation contains references to “Mcf” (million cubic feet), “Bcf” (billion cubic feet), “bbl” (barrel of oil) and "BOE" (barrels of oil equivalent) in total and on a per day (“/d”) basis. Enerplus has adopted the standard of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1bbl) when converting natural gas to BOEs. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The foregoing conversion ratios are based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent a value equivalency at thewellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading. “Mbbl” means “thousand barrels of oil; "MBOE" and "MMBOE" mean"thousand barrels of oil equivalent" and "million barrels of oil equivalent", respectively.

Non-GAAP MeasuresIn this presentation, we use the terms “return on capital employed (ROCE)”, “adjusted funds flow", “net debt to adjusted fun ds flow ratio”, “netback”, “net operating income”, and "free cash flow" as measures to analyze leverage, liquidity and operating performance. These measuresdo not have any standardized meaning under United States GAAP (“U.S. GAAP”) and are therefore, considered Non-GAAP measures. “Adjusted funds flow” is calculated as cash flow from operating activities but before changes in non-cash operating working capital and assetretirement obligation expenditures. “Net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio” is used by Enerplus and is useful to investors and securities analysts in analyzing leverage and liquidity. The net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio is calculated as total debt net of cash, divided by a trailing 12months of adjusted funds flow. “Netback” and “net operating income” are calculated as oil and gas revenues after deducting royalties, operating costs and transportation expenses. “Free cash flow” is calculated as “adjusted funds flow” less exploration and development capitalspending (refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” in the First Quarter of 2020 and the 2019 Annual MD&A). The ROCE calculation is shown on the previous slide (27).

Enerplus believes that, in addition to cash flow from operations, net earnings and other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, the terms “ROCE”, “adjusted funds flow", “net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio”, “netback”, “net operating income”, and "free cash flow“ are usefulsupplemental measuresas they provide an indication of the results generated by Enerplus' principal business activities. However, certain of these measures are not recognized by U.S. GAAP and do not have standardizedmeaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, may not becomparable to similar measures calculated and presented by other issuers. For reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and further information about these measures, see additional disclosure andreconciliations to certain of these “Non-GAAP Measures” in the First Quarter of 2020 and the 2019 Annual MD&A.

Presentation of Production and Reserves InformationUnder U.S. GAAP, oil and gas sales are generally presented net of royalties and U.S. industry protocol is to present production volumes net of royalties. Under IFRS and Canadian industry protocol, oil and gas sales and production volumes are presented on a gross basis beforededuction of royalties. To remain comparable with our Canadian peer companies, the summary results contained within this presentation presents our production and BOE measures on a before royalty “company interest “ basis. In addition, initial test results and productionperformance referenced should be considered preliminary data and such data is not necessarily indicative of long-term performance, or of ultimate recovery.

Readers are cautioned that the average initial production rates contained in this presentation are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

All production volumes and revenues presented herein are reported on a “company interest” basis, before deduction of Crown and other royalties, plus Enerplus’ royalty interest. Unless otherwise specified, all reserves volumes in this presentation (and all information derivedtherefrom) are based on “gross reserves" using forecast prices and costs. “Gross reserves" (as defined in Na tional Instrument 51-101 – S tandards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51- 101")), being Enerplus’ working interest before deduction of any royalties. Our oil and gasreserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, and is contained within our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("our AIF")which is available on our website at www.enerplus.com and under our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Additionally, our AIF forms part of our Form 40-F that is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Readers are alsourged to review the 2019 MD&A and financial statements filed on SEDAR and as part of our Form 40-F on EDGAR for more complete disclosure on our operations.

Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place, Discovered Original Oil-In-Place and Discovered Original Gas-In-PlaceDiscovered Original Oil-in-Place (“OOIP” ) is not defined in NI 51-101 and does not have a standardized meaning under NI 51-101. Discovered OOIP as used in this presentation is the crude oil portion of discovered PIIP, as defined under NI 51-104. Discovered OOIP pertaining to ourCanadian waterflood assets are estimates by internal qualified reserves evaluators, combined for all Canadian waterflood assets.

Contingent Resources Estimates

This presentation contains estimates of "contingent resources". "Contingent resources" are not, and should not be confused with, oil and gas reserves. "Contingent resources" are defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation

Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") as "tho se quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which

are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as ultimate recovery rates, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of

markets. It is also appropriate to classify as “contingent resources” the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. All of our contingent resources estimates are economic using

established technologiesand based on the average of the price forecasts of McDaniel, GLJ and Sproule as of January 1, 2020. Enerplus expects to develop these contingent resources in the coming years however it is too early in their

development for all of these resources to be classified as reserves at this time. A portion of these contingent resources are part of continuous development by the Company and are categorized as contingent resources primarily due to

development timelines that go beyond what is already assigned as undeveloped reserves. There is uncertainty that Enerplus will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as “contingent resources”. “Development

pending contingent resources” refer to a “contingent resources” project maturity sub-class for a particular project where resolution of the final conditions for development are being actively pursued (there is a high chance of

development) and the project is expected to be developed in a reasonable timeframe. The “contingent resources” estimates contained herein are presented as the "best estimate" of the quantity that will actually be recovered,

effective as of December 31, 2019. A "best estimate" of contingent resources means that it is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate, and if probabilistic methods are

used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.

For additional information regarding the primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of Enerplus’ disclosed “contingent resources” associated with Enerplus’ Marcellus shale gas properties, Enerplus’ Fort Berthold

properties, and a portion of Enerplus’ Canadian crude oil properties as reserves and the positive and negative factors relevant to the “contingent resources” estimates, see Appendix A to Enerplus’ AIF, a copy of which is available

under Enerplus’ SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and Enerplus’ Form 40-F, a copy of which is available under Enerplus’ EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov.

NOTICE TO U.S. READERSThe oil and natural gas reserves information contained in this presentation has generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United S tates or o ther fo reign disclosure standards. Reserves categories such as

"proved reserves" and "probable reserves" may be defined differently underCanadian requirements than the definitions contained in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice,reserves and production are reported using gross (o r, as noted above with respect to production information, "company interest") volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The practice in the United States is to report reserves and production

using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Canadian disclosure requirements require that forecasted commodity prices and escalating costs be used for reserves evaluations, while the SEC mandates the use of an unweighted average of theclosing prices on the first day of each of the 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period, with the option of also disclosing reservesestimates based upon future or other prices and constan t costs. Additionally, the SEC prohibits disclosure of oil and gas resources in SEC filings,

whereas Canadian issuers may disclose oil and gas resources. Resources are different than, and should not be construed as reserves. For a description of the definition of, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the disclosure of, con tingent resources, see “Contingent ResourcesEstimates” above.
