Firebag Project Overview
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
The Firebag Project is Suncor Oil Sands in-situ supply
of bitumen for the Upgrader
The Firebag Project consists of an experimental solvent
injection pilot (ETS) and a commercial Steam Assisted
Gravity Drainage (SAGD) scheme
Includes integrated central plant facilities, wellpads and
gathering corridors
Ultimately, the Firebag Project will supply 360,000+
bbl/day (55,645 m³/day) of bitumen feed
4
Suncor’s Integrated Strategy
Vision
1/2 million barrels per day

Original Project Design
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
SAGD project approved to provide up to 140,000
bbl/day (22,258 m³/day) of bitumen to Oil Sands
Upgrader
Project to be constructed in 4 - 35,000 bbl/day (5,565
m³/day) stages
Design Steam to Oil Ratio 2.0
Water supply from Oil Sands
Firebag connected with Oil Sands plant via 4 pipelines
(water, gas, diluent, DB) and powerline
Firebag is a bitumen supply for Oil Sands Upgrader

ƒ A slow production ramp-up and high SORs were
observed after both the 2004 and 2005 turnarounds

2WP1, 2WP2, 2WP3, 2WP4, 2WP5, 2WP6, 2WP7, & 2WP8 wellpairs are
currently on production
For the wells on production in 2004 (2WP4, 2WP5, 2WP6, & 2WP7), current
production ranges from 150 – 350 m3/d per wellpair, with an SOR range of 2-4
m3/m3
2WP1 has a lower production rate than the other wells. Explanations for this
include:
ƒ A pump was installed in 2WP1 after the steam circulation period, and has
had 2 pump changes since its start-up in Dec 2004
ƒ 2WP1 is on the edge of the pattern
ƒ The toe of the well is shalier than the average reservoir on Pad 102
2WP2, 2WP3, & 2WP8 started production in Aug, Sept, & Nov 2005
respectively are on trend with the first 4 wells
A slow production ramp-up and high SORs were observed after both the 2004
and 2005 turnarounds
Pump installs occurred in Q4 2005 in all wells but 2WP3 and 2WP8

ES-SAGD Testing

ES-SAGD is being implemented on a limited basis initially.
Diluent co-injection with steam began on Nov 16, 2005 into all of the
wells on Pad 102.
Diluent injection volumes are metered prior to mixing with steam, the
diluent production is calculated from bitumen and gas samples taken
from the wells from the test separator, where possible taken on a monthly
basis.
As expected this early in the test, there has not yet been observable
changes to the bitumen production rates or SOR of these wells when
compared to the wells on Pad 101
There has been some indication of produced diluent in the gas samples.
Solvent injection is continuing on Pad 102, and plans are in place to
expand solvent injection to additional pads pending the results of this
project.
Solvent targets as follows:
y 2% of the steam volume into 2P1, 2P2, 2P3, 2P4, 2P5, 2P7, and 2P8
y 15% to 2P6

Lean Zones
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
In the Firebag reservoir, lean zones exist to the east of
the developed area
There are no significant lean zones in the active areas
of the reservoir
The initial water loss is believed to be the result of
water mobility in high bitumen (>85%) saturation zones
40
Steam – Oil Ratio (SOR)
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
As of Feb 2006, the cumulative SOR at Firebag is
3.99 m3/m3
Cumulative SOR was 4.60 m3/m3 in Feb 2005
The higher than expected SOR is largely the result of:
ƒ Circulating
new wells that were not immediately produced
ƒ Starting new wells to support the Stage 2 central plant.
ƒ High steam injection rates required to restart the wells
after prolonged shut downs in August 2004, April and
June 2005
41
SOR Discussion
ƒ
Estimated impacts of these events on the CSOR are:
Firebag CSOR Feb 2006: 3.99 m3/m3
Less:
Additional circulation
0.38 m3/m3
Stage 2 start-up
0.24 m3/m3
Recovery from shut downs 0.13 m3/m3
Estimated CSOR
3.24 m3/m3
ƒ When looking at the production and the SOR on a time
normalized basis for these wells the production is trending
towards 360m3/d (2,300bbls/d) and the SOR towards 2.2m3/m3 at
23 months.
ƒ This is above expected performance in terms of rate and on trend
with the expected SOR delivery.

Low - Pressure SAGD (LP-SAGD) Pilot
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Suncor has completed testing the use of low pressure
steam injection and artificial lift systems in the SAGD
wells
Primary LP-SAGD Pilot Objectives:
ƒ Quantify the SOR reduction potential of LP-SAGD;
and,
ƒ Evaluate artificial lift techniques including a multiphase pump and gas lift.
12 wells on mechanical lift (i.e. pumps)
1 well on gas lift
45
LP-SAGD Pilot Project Results
ƒ Mechanical Lift:
ƒ stabilizes well production, and minimizes the production impacts of
plant upsets
ƒ reliable pump operations
ƒ allows operation at reservoir operating pressures below those possible
with gas lift
ƒ higher water returns at lower operating pressures
ƒ Initial indications are that the operation at lower pressures using
mechanical lift results in a lower SOR and a slight reduced bitumen
production rate, there is still insufficient data to fully quantify these
effects
ƒ Gas Lift:
ƒ stabilizes well production
ƒ allows operation at reduced reservoir operating pressures over
natural, but does not provide lift at very low operating pressures

Lessons Learned
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Individual wells producing oil at higher than expected
rates when steam is available
High operating pressure decreases water returns –
the wells on pump have shown water returns of
greater than 100%
H2S production is higher than expected – remains
under investigation
LP-SAGD is effective at stabilizing well operation and
improving water returns
