Fossil sediments trapped in in the pores of rocks Hydrocarbons CH4 (methane), C3H8 (propane), C4H10 (butane) C7H16 through C11H24 (gasoline and diesel) Lubricating and Heavy gas oils Types and Uses Crude Oil and Natural Gas Uses: Products: Mobility, heat and cool our homes and provide electricity plastics, life-saving medications, clothing, cosmetics, and many other items you may use daily Barrel – a unit of measure for oil and petroleum products that is equivalent to 42 U.S. gallons ~ 159 Litres Proven Natural Gas Reserves Western Canadian Natural Gas Resources Canadian Oil Production Outlook Big Players’ Production Conventional Oil vs. Oil Sands Conventional Oil Petroleum found in liquid form, flowing naturally or capable of being pumped without further processing or dilution Light crude oil 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 Types of Crude Oil Produced in Canada • Condensates: hydrocarbons recovered from a natural gas reservoir. • 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. From 31-33°API • Pentanes: hydrocarbons containing molecules of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms.

Oil Sands Natural Gas and Renewable Energy – produce in Western Canada Energy Marketing and Refining – Ontario Refining and Marketing – Colorado Integrated Strategy 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 McMurray, 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 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 company-wide natural gas purchases, NG is targeting production increases of 3% to 5% per year. Natural Gas Production 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 joint-venture 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 and 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 $260m 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.

At the mean time able to control our net debt to cash flow ratio of only 1.2, despite a 2.9 billion recover expenditure on the fire recovery Commissioned a 450 million expansion, bringing production capacity up by 15% to 260,000 barrels per day Acquired Valero Energy Corporation, and became the largest refining operation in the U.S Rockies area Continued to improve energy efficiency, greenhouse effect offset and new, renewable energy projects. Risk/Success Factors Commodity prices Exchange rates Environmental regulations Stakeholder support for growth plans Extreme winter weather Regional labour issues Each business segment Risk/Success factors Subsequent Event Strong 4th Quarter results 1.214 billion earning , up from 1.020 billion Damage to fire last year recovered, fully functional Production capacity up to 260000 bpd from 225000 bpd However: Production is down: 206100 down from 263300 Average cost up as a result: 19.50 from 11.95 Net debt was 2.9 billion, compared to 2.2 billion from 2004 Outlook & Risk/Success Factors Outlook & Risk/Success Factors Control cost per barrel @ 16 to 16.75 Increase bitumen supply with proved supply and upgrader capacity to 350,000 bpd in 2008 Increase natural gas production to an average of 205 to 210 mmcf per day. Maintain a strong balance sheet with debt and hedging management with 3.5 billion investment in 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements Sensitivity Analysis Consolidated Statement of Earnings Revenues Revenues INCREASE: $2421 millions (27.9% increase from 2004) The increase resulted primarily from: Higher average commodity price (offset by a 7% increase in the average CDN$/ US$ exchange rate) increased revenue by $1.2 billion Increase crude oil production increased revenue by approx $220 million Higher refined product wholesale and retail prices, increase in sales volumes, one full year of operations of the Refining and Marketing division increased revenue by approx $890 million These increased is partially offset by hedging losses reduced revenue by approx $380 million Expenses Purchases of crude oil and crude oil products INCREASE Higher benchmark crude oil feedstock prices, Higher volume and refined products feedstock required as a result of 1 full year of operations for R&M Operating, Selling and General INCREASE The effects of 12 months of operations at R&M - US Higher operating expense higher energy costs Higher cost for obtaining certification under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and higher stock-based compensation expense Increased maintenance activities Financing expense DECREASE Lower foreign exchange gains on the Suncor’s US$ denominated long-term debt Net Income Revenue increased by 27.9%, Expenses increased by 29.1% Earnings Before Income Taxes increased by 22.8% Income Tax expense INCREASED Net Income, EPS INCREASE by $0.33 Cash Dividend INCREASE by 4.3% 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 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.
