Canadian Oil and Gas Industry Analysis Table of Contents Industry Overview Industry Analysis Sensitivity Analysis Trend Analysis Market Analysis Recommended Strategy By: Raphael Kan
Industry Overview National Economic Importance: • Energy Sector contribute 5. 6% ($62. 8 billion) to Canadian GDP in 2003 • Canadian Oil and Gas Industry accounts for 38% ($23. 8 billion) of the Energy Sector contribution • In 2003, new capital investment in energy related industries represented 18. 6% of total Canadian investment • Combined, Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange have 413 Oil and Gas Companies with a total value of over $299 billion. • The Oil and Gas Industry itself accounts for more than 18% of the TSX total market capitalization
Industry Overview Key Stats - Oil • • Total production of 3. 1 million barrels per day in 2004 – Seventh largest in the world – 99% of its export goes to U. S (largest source of oil for US) 179 billion barrels of proven reserve in 2005 – Second largest in the world – Able to produce at current rates for the next 150 -200 years
Industry Overview Type of Crude Oil produced in Canada • Light crude oil: liquid petroleum with a gravity of 28°API or higher • Heavy crude oil: liquid petroleum with a gravity below 28°API • Bitumen: petroleum in semi-solid or solid form that is found in bituminous sands. It is so heavy (gravity below 12°API) and viscous that it will not flow unless heated or diluted. • Synthetic crude oil: a product similar to a high-quality light crude oil. It is made by refining or upgrading heavy oil or bitumen. • Condensates: hydrocarbons recovered from a natural gas reservoir. • Pentanes: hydrocarbons containing molecules of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms.
Industry Overview Sources of Canadian Oil Production: • Offshore: Off the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland • Conventional Oil: Western Canada Sedimentary Basin • Oil Sands: Northern Alberta and Canadian Arctic
Industry Overview Conventional vs Oil Sands: Conventional Oil – Petroleum found in liquid form, flowing naturally or capable of being pumped without further processing or dilution – Cheaper to produce Oil Sands Synthetic Crude Oil – Oil Sands is a thick mixture of sands, bitumen, mineral rich clays and water – Synthetic crude oil is extracted from oil sands and it is often sold at a premium because of its high quality – More costly to produce – No drilling risk for the near surface oil sands
Industry Overview Synthetic Crude Production Process: Ore Preparation • • Strip-Mining – The pick and shovel method used to recover oil sands that are near surface – 600, 000 barrels per day 1. 2 m barrels per day in 2010 In Situ – Includes various methods used to recover deeply buried bitumen deposits, including steam injection, solvent injection and firefloods – 380, 000 barrels per day 700, 000 barrels per day in 2010 – More than 80% of the Oil Sands reserve require this method Extraction – Separates Bitumen from other molecules Upgrading – Processes Bitumen into Synthetic Crude Oil and Vacuum Gas Oil
Industry Overview Key Stats – Natural Gas • • Total production of 6. 6 trillion cubic feet in 2002 – Third largest in the world – Almost all of its export goes to U. S. 56. 1 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserve in 2005 – Only ranked 19 th in the world – At current rates, production will deplete in 8. 6 years
Industry Overview Sources of Canadian Natural Gas Production: • Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin • Atlantic Coast • Arctic
Industry Overview Industry Components • Upstream – Exploration and Production • Midstream – Pipeline, Transportation and Storage • Downstream – Refining, Marketing and Retailing

Industry Analysis The Canadian Advantage • Canada is the world leader of – Enhanced recovery techniques for mature reservoirs – Cold climate and offshore production – Gas processing, sulphur extraction and heavy oil upgrading – Oil Sands reserve – Development of Oil Sand projects • Integrated with the world’s largest market for energy consumption, making it less costly to bring the products to market. • Strong interest from China, the largest market for energy consumption in the future. • Attractive crown royalty rate for oil sand projects
Industry Analysis Risks and Constraints • Tighter environmental regulation • Kyoto Protocol • Limited proven natural gas reserve • Long run viability of oil sands project – It is estimated that crude price has to be above $25 a barrel for oil sand projects to be profitable because of the high production costs Factors that would determine the viability include: – Invention of new drilling and refining technology – Presence of alternative source of energy – Oil production level of major producers such as OPEC and Russia
Sensitivity Analysis Regress TSX Capped Energy Index with Crude Oil Spot Price between 2001 to 2005 • R Square = 0. 9116 • Slope Coefficient = 4. 3328 (A dollar change in crude price 4. 3328 change in the Energy Index or 1. 4467% change in the Energy Index as of Nov 7, 2005) Scattered Plots Strong correlation
Trend Analysis Factors that would affect energy prices • Short term supply and demand • Rate of investment in the long term • Sentiments • Accidents such as • Bad weather • Halting transport of oil from producers • Labour disputes (strikes) • War • Natural disaster • Taxes - Crude price now represents less than a quarter of the price of oil products in many countries. Thus, taxes have significant influence over the price of oil products
Trend Analysis - Oil Global Oil Supply Million barrels per day • Upward trend since 1985
Trend Analysis - Oil Global Oil Demand & Forecast • Expected to grow by more than 50% in the next 20 years • More than 50% are consumed by the transportation sector
Trend Analysis - Oil Global Oil Demand & Forecast • Emerging Asia, especially China is expected to more than double its demand in the next 20 years.
Trend Analysis - Gas Global Natural Gas Demand Forecast • Expected to grow at a slightly higher rate than crude oil demand
Market Analysis Correlation between Oil and Natural Gas Prices
Market Analysis Historical Oil Price Analysis • Even at the current $60 level, the impact on consumers is not as big as in the early 80 s during the Iran and Iraq war Iran & Iraq war War on “terrorism” OPEC 10% Quota Increase Asian Economic Crisis Gulf War Iranian revolution Series of OPEC cuts
Market Analysis Comparison of TSX Capped Energy Index against TSX Composite and S&P 500 from 2001~2005 TSX Capped Energy Index Outperform by more than 100% TSX Composite Index S&P 500
Market Analysis Market Outlook • Prices of petroleum products and natural gas will remain high due to tight international supplies and hurricane induced short term supply losses • Many fund managers still favour the energy sector though some has started shifting assets to the consumer staple sector based on the sector rotation model • Very few analysts and industry executives believe that the crude price will ever fall back to the level of $30 per barrel
Recommended Strategy Selection Criteria For Long Term Investment One should look for: • Larger companies with strong financial resources • Companies that have good track records of positive relationships with all stakeholders • Companies that have strong presence in oil sands but are relatively diversified • Companies that already demonstrate superior cost structure and lower production costs.

Employees’ Benefits
Integrated Strategy • 4 major business divisions: 1. Oil Sands 2. Natural Gas and Renewable Energy – produce in Western Canada 3. Energy Marketing and Refining – Ontario 4. Refining and Marketing – Colorado With a high quality resource base that it is estimated to contain the raw materials to produce a potential 11 billion barrels of conventional crude oil, Suncor doesn’t need to look for new oil reservoirs. Instead it can focus on developing the technology and expertise to produce higher value crude oil products, increase production and improve operational flexibility.
Integrated Strategy
Oil Sands • Located near Fort Mc. Murray, Alberta • Recovers bitumen through mining and in-situ development and upgrades it into refinery feedstock, diesel fuel and by products. • The foundation of Suncor’s growth strategy and represents the most significant portion of the company’s assets. • Suncor pioneered the world’s first commercially successful oil sands operation in 1967 and today, with total production nearing the one billion barrel mark and enough reserves to sustain production for the next 50 years, the company remains a leader in oil sands development.
Oil Sands
Subsequent Event • A fire on January 4, 2005, caused significant damage to Oil Sands Upgrader 2, reducing upgraded crude oil production capacity from base operations to about 110, 000 bpd. • Repair work is under way and Oil Sands expect to return to full production capacity of 225, 000 bpd in the third quarter of 2005. • To mitigate the impact of reduced production during the recovery period, Oil Sands plans to bring forward as many maintenance projects as possible, including all, or significant portions of, a maintenance shutdown previously planned for the fall.
Outlook & Risk/Success Factors • Outlook: – Continues to work towards an operational target of ½ million barrels per day • Risk/ Success Factors: – Final amount and timing of the settlement and payment of insurance proceeds related to fire damage – Additional maintenance schedules related to returning Oil Sands to full production – Ability to finance Oil Sands growth in a volatile commodity pricing environment – The ability to complete future projects both on time and on budget – Potential changes in the demand for refinery feedstock and diesel fuel – Volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices and exchange factors and the light/heavy and sweet/sour crude oil differentials – Relationship with trade unions
Natural Gas • Primarily produces conventional natural gas in Western Canada • Serves as a price hedge that provides the company with a degree of protection from volatile market prices of natural gas purchased for internal consumption. • To ensure natural gas production keeps pace with companywide natural gas purchases, NG is targeting production increases of 3% to 5% per year.
Natural Gas Production
Outlook & Risk/Success Factors • Outlook: – • Continues to work towards an operational target of increasing production by 3% to 5% per year to keep pace with the company’s growing internal natural gas demands. Risk/Success Factors Affecting Performance: 1. Consistently and competitively finding and developing reserves that can be brought on stream economically. 2. The impact of market demand for land services on capital and operating costs. 3. Risks and uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory approval for exploration and development activities in Canada and the United States.
Marketing and Refining - Cad • Operates a 70, 000 barrel per day (bpd) capacity refinery in Sarnia, Ontario • Markets refined products to industrial, wholesale and commercial customers primarily in Ontario and Quebec • Markets products to retail customers in Ontario through its Sunoco -branded and joint-venture operated service networks • Encompasses third-party energy marketing and trading activities, as well as providing marketing services for the sale of crude oil and natural gas from the Oil Sands and NG operations.
Outlook & Risk/Success Factors • Outlook: – Construction on a diesel desulphurization project at the Sarnia refinery to meet current and anticipated federal sulphur regulations. – Construction of a planned ethanol plant is expected to begin in 2005 and be completed by 2006, subject to regulatory approvals. This facility is expected to produce ethanol at a for blending into Sunoco-branded and Suncor jointventure retail gasolines. – As a result of the fire incident, M&R may be required to purchase additional synthetic crude oil feedstock to meet demand, resulting in higher purchased product costs. • Risk/Success Factors Affecting Performance: – Fluctuations in demand supply for refined products, margin and price volatility. – The risk of cost overruns for the execution of capital projects. – Numerous risks and uncertainties that could affect construction schedules of the diesel desulphurization project.
Refining and Marketing - US • Downstream assets based in Denver, Colorado (acquired in August 2003) – This acquisition is part of an integration strategy aimed at improving access to the North American energy markets through acquisitions, long-term contracts and possible joint-ventures. • Operates a 60, 000 barrel per day (bpd) capacity refinery • Markets refined products to customers primarily in Colorado, including retail marketing through 43 Phillips 66 -branded retail stations in the Denver area.
Outlook & Risk/Success Factors • Outlook: – Approximately $260 m on new capital project – Spend $29 million by 2006 to meet existing obligations between the refinery and the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Colorado. – 42 -day scheduled maintenance is planned for pipeline and refinery equipment. – R&M’s existing four-year contract with the local Paper, Allied-Industrial Chemical and Energy Workers International Union, which applies to hourly wage employees at the refinery, will expire in January 2006. • Risk/Success Factors Affecting Performance: – Fluctuations in demand for refined products, margin and price volatility and market competitiveness – The risks associated with the execution of the fuels desulphurization project – Numerous risks and uncertainties can affect construction schedules – A weaker Canadian dollar would result in a higher funding requirement for U. S. capital programs.

Consolidated Net Income
Net Income Analysis
Balance Sheet Statements
Analysis of Balance Sheet • Increased in AR - due to higher sales volumes and higher price • Increased in Property, Plant and Equipment – due to company’s expansion • Increased in AP and accrued liabilities related to increased capital spending in the fourth quarter and higher accrued royalties payable • Decreased in Preferred Shares - On March 15, 2004, the company redeemed all of its then outstanding 9. 05% and 9. 125% preferred securities for total cash consideration of $493 million
Derivative Financial Instruments • Commodity Hedging Activities – To hedge against the potential adverse impact of changing market prices due to variations in underlying commodity indices – Suncor did not enter into any new arrangements in 2004. The strength of the its financial position, combined with stable operating costs and a growing production base, reduces the company’s risk to crude oil price volatility. – Prior to the suspension of the hedging program, Suncor had entered contracts to fix the price on 36, 000 barrels of crude oil per day at an average price of US$23 per barrel, which resulted in decreased in net earnings by $397 million. • Financial Hedging – Risk management strategy to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations – The interest rate swap contracts involve an exchange of floating rate and fixed rate interest payments between the company and investment grade counterparties • Energy Trading Activities – Energy trading activities focus on the commodities the company produces. – To gain market information and earn trading revenues
