Oil Sands – Energy for North America’s Future
Legal Notice
    • All references in this document to dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. This
      presentation contains forward-looking statements identified by the words “expect”, “targeted”, “strategy”,
      “plans”, “aim” and similar expressions that address expectations or projections about the future. Forward-
      looking statements are based on Suncor’s current goals, expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions
      made in light of its experiences and the risks, uncertainties and other factors related to its business.
      Assumptions used to develop our outlook are based on year-to-date performance and management's best
      estimates for the remainder of the year.


    • Reserves and resources information is before royalty and as at December 31, 2008. Readers are cautioned that
      the combined estimate of remaining recoverable resources set forth on the slide titled “Unparalleled resource
      base’ combines multiple estimates of proved and probable reserves, best estimate contingent resources and 2C
      contingent resources, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be
      recovered. The volumes are not intended to be indicative of volumes that may actually be recovered and are
      provided for illustrative purposes only. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such numbers due
      to a variety of risks inherent in the manner in which such volumes are presented here, including but not limited
      to: material differences in the manner in which Petro-Canada and Suncor calculate their reserves and
      resources; inherent difficulties in combining reserves and resources volumes developed under differing
      standards and requirements; and the use of different pricing methodology.


    • Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of
      changes to Suncor’s plans and the impact of events, risks and uncertainties discussed in Petro-Canada’s and
      Suncor’s 2008 annual information forms/forms 40-F, annual and quarterly reports to shareholders and other
      documents filed with Canadian securities commissions at www.sedar.com and the United States Securities and
      Exchange Commission (SEC) at www.sec.gov.

Suncor’s TROTM Process – Overview
    • All mines, including Oil Sands mines
      generate tailings
    • Tailings are:
       • produced during extraction process
         that separates bitumen (oil) from the
         sand
       • left over mixture of fine clay, sand,
         water, residual bitumen


    • TROTM process a new approach for
      managing tailings:
       • Significant improvement in the speed
         of tailings reclamation
       • Meets new regulatory requirements
         and stakeholder expectations
       • More than $1 billion investment
         planned for implementation

The “Dirty Oil” Challenge

• In many arenas, particularly outside of
  Canada, Oil Sands has been labeled by some
  industry and fossil fuel detractors as “dirty
  oil”
• Is the label justified?
Oil Sands Fact Summary
• 2nd largest crude oil reserve in the world
• Top 5 oil sources to U.S. … only Canada has GHG
  regulations (NOT Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela,
  Nigeria)
• OS crudes are 5 - 15% more GHG intensive than
  conventional crudes
• Some North American crudes have higher GHG
  intensity than OS crudes (e.g. California heavy)
• Fossil fuels will be a significant part of our energy
  future for decades to come
• Suncor has reduced GHG emissions and water usage
  in Oil Sands by 35% since 1990
• Bottom line: North America is energy deficient and OS
  is a viable, long term energy solution
Suncor – A Sustainability Leader
• Suncor invests heavily in technology development
• These improvements in environmental performance
  have set the stage for further continuous improvement
• Suncor was the first major energy company to adopt a
  climate change action plan
• Suncor’s advancements in tailings technology - a major
  breakthrough. Reclamation time 1/3 of previous
• SAGD vs. Mining
• Renewable Energy:
   • Suncor owns and operates Canada’s largest biofuels
     manufacturing facility
   • Suncor is a large investor of wind power
• Suncor have been listed on the Dow Jones
  Sustainability Index for 11 consecutive years

Forward- looking statements are based on Suncor’s current goals, expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions made in light of its experiences and the risks, uncertainties and other factors related to its business. Assumptions used to develop our outlook are based on year-to-date performance and management's best estimates for the remainder of the year. • Reserves and resources information is before royalty and as at December 31, 2008. Readers are cautioned that the combined estimate of remaining recoverable resources set forth on the slide titled “Unparalleled resource base’ combines multiple estimates of proved and probable reserves, best estimate contingent resources and 2C contingent resources, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be recovered. The volumes are not intended to be indicative of volumes that may actually be recovered and are provided for illustrative purposes only. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such numbers due to a variety of risks inherent in the manner in which such volumes are presented here, including but not limited to: material differences in the manner in which Petro-Canada and Suncor calculate their reserves and resources; inherent difficulties in combining reserves and resources volumes developed under differing standards and requirements; and the use of different pricing methodology. • Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of changes to Suncor’s plans and the impact of events, risks and uncertainties discussed in Petro-Canada’s and Suncor’s 2008 annual information forms/forms 40-F, annual and quarterly reports to shareholders and other documents filed with Canadian securities commissions at www.sedar.com and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at www.sec.gov. • ©2009 Suncor Energy.

  • 8. Suncor’s TROTM Process – Overview • All mines, including Oil Sands mines generate tailings • Tailings are: • produced during extraction process that separates bitumen (oil) from the sand • left over mixture of fine clay, sand, water, residual bitumen • TROTM process a new approach for managing tailings: • Significant improvement in the speed of tailings reclamation • Meets new regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations • More than $1 billion investment planned for implementation TM Trademark of Suncor Energy Inc. 8

  • 10. The “Dirty Oil” Challenge • In many arenas, particularly outside of Canada, Oil Sands has been labeled by some industry and fossil fuel detractors as “dirty oil” • Is the label justified?
  • 11. Oil Sands Fact Summary • 2nd largest crude oil reserve in the world • Top 5 oil sources to U.S. … only Canada has GHG regulations (NOT Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria) • OS crudes are 5 - 15% more GHG intensive than conventional crudes • Some North American crudes have higher GHG intensity than OS crudes (e.g. California heavy) • Fossil fuels will be a significant part of our energy future for decades to come • Suncor has reduced GHG emissions and water usage in Oil Sands by 35% since 1990 • Bottom line: North America is energy deficient and OS is a viable, long term energy solution
