25. Canadian National Resources

26. Corporate Overview • Calgary, Alberta based explorer, producer, and developer of oil and natural gas • Founded in 1973 • Since then, has grown to become both the 2nd largest natural gas producer and the largest heavy oil producer in Canada • Energy products include: natural gas, light oil, heavy oil, in-situ oil sands production, oil sands mining and associated upgrading facilities

27. Corporate Overview • Key factors of their business approach: • Lowest cost producer strategy • Exploitation focus using existing technologies, discoveries, and breakthroughs • Strategic acquisitions, often in existing core regions, to increase operational diversification • Avoid long-term drilling/supply contracts when possible to increase flexibility • Seek to own and operate 100% of their assets • Effective balance between heavy crude oil, light crude oil, and natural gas provides some protection against commodity price risk • Financial strength is of paramount importance • -Target strong debt ratings and manage liquidity “as a core asset” • -closely controlled hedging activities provide short-term cash flow certainty

28. Stock Details (Mar. 9, 2011) • As of March 1, 2011, roughly 1.01 billion CNQ shares outstanding • Also trades on the NYSE

29. Historical Stock Performance & Activity • 10 year price movement • Moving average highlights overall long-term upward trend

30. Summary of Operations • Canadian Natural relies on a North American foundation • Hold the largest undeveloped land base in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin

31. Operations – North American Production

32. Operations – Horizon Oil Sands • Key oil sands asset located north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, with ongoing expansion • Supports 232,000 – 250,000 barrels per day of light, sweet, crude oil production for over 40 years, with no production declines (recoverable OOIP of 6 billion barrels estimated)

33. Operations – North American Net Oil & Gas Reserves • Figures are net of royalties • Obvious uncertainty around the determination of “probable” reserves, which claim a 50% confidence level of recovery

34. Operations - International • Provide a strategic source of primarily crude oil (though in much lower quantities than North American operations) • Locations: the North Sea and Offshore West Africa (Espoir, Baobab, Olowi)

35. Operations – International Net Oil & Gas Reserves

36. Management Compensation (2009) & Background  $10, 578, 701.00 (includes option awards)  BSc in Chemical Engineering $10,009,651.00 (includes option awards)  BSc in Mechanical Engineering

37. Financial Performance • Canadian Natural refers to “four metrics” that measure corporate success: Horizon Oil Sands

38. Consolidated Balance Sheets(as at December 31)

39. Consolidated Statement of Earnings (for the year ended December 31)

40. Adjusted Net Earnings from Operations • Changes in the intrinsic value of outstanding vested options are recognized in net earnings (stock-based compensation expense) • Changes in fair value of non-designated hedges are recognized in net earnings • Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, offset by cross currency swaps, are recognized in net earnings

41. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (for the year ended December 31)

42. Corporate Approach to Risk Management • Hedge program aims to give the company certainty in their short-term cash flows • Ensures adequate financing for capital plans • Derivatives usage is solely aimed at managing the various types of risk exposure, not for speculative activity • Operational risks limited through a focused effort on large core areas and by operating key facilities • Product and operations diversity important

43. Financial Risk Factors1.Market Risk

44. Market Risk 3 Primary Types:

45. Commodity Price Risk • Fluctuations in commodity prices impact Canadian Natural’s cash flows associated with commodities that are sold and purchased • Sales to hedge: • Futures crude oil and natural gas production • Purchases to hedge: • Natural gas

46. Interest Rate Risk • 2 sources of interest rate risk to be dealt with: • Interest rate price (fair value) risk on the company’s fixed rate long-term debt • Interest rate cash flow risk on the company’s floating rate long-term debt

47. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk • Primary source is the company’s US dollar denominated long-term debt and working capital • Also exposed because of: • transactions conducted in other currencies (in its subsidiaries) • Carrying value of self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries

48. Sensitivity Analysis

49. Commodity Price Risk Management Net derivative financial instruments outstanding (Dec. 31, 2010): The Company’s outstanding commodity derivative financial instruments are expected to be settled monthly based on the applicable index pricing for the respective contract month.

50. Interest Rate Risk Management • Interest rate swap contracts outstanding (Dec. 31, 2010): • The interest rate swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional principal amounts on which the payments are based
