Great Divide Oil Sands Project (10587) EUB Annual Performance Presentation Nov 2008 1 Great Divide Oil Sands Project This presentation contains forward looking information including estimations of reserves and resources and future net revenue associated therewith, expectations of future production, planned capital expenditures, integrated netbacks per barrel of bitumen, development of additional oil sands resources (including receipt of regulatory approvals in respect of Algar and timeline for construction of Algar) and expansion of current conventional oil and gas and refining operations. Forward looking information is based on management’s expectations regarding future growth, results of operation, production, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), plans for and results of drilling activity, environmental matters, business prospects and opportunities involves significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), and the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and risks and uncertainties associated with securing the necessary regulatory approvals and financing to proceed with the continued expansion of the Great Divide Project at Algar and other regions and expansion of the company’s refinery in Great Falls, Montana. These risks and uncertainties are described in detail in Connacher’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is available at www.sedar.com. The Corporation assumes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law. All references to barrels of oil equivalent (boe) are calculated on the basis of 6 mcf : 1 bbl. This conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

Gas Lift (one ESP pump installed) Steam Chamber Steam Rises, gives up heat Hot bitumen drops down Hot bitumen produced from lower well Great Divide ERCB Presentation Nov 2008 24 Circulation Phase During the pre-heat or circulation phase, both the upper horizontal injector wells and the lower horizontal producer wells have steam injected through tubing into the “toe” of the well. Steam is circulated back to the “heel” of the well and returned through tubing to surface. The reservoir is exposed to the steam along the horizontal liner but steam is not injected directly into the formation. Temperatures along the well-bores are monitored for thermal consistency. Even heating at temperatures of approximately 260 degrees Celsius is the objective of this process. HORIZONTAL INJECTOR Long String Short String Steam Circulation Heel Toe HORIZONTAL PRODUCER Long String Short String Steam Circulation Heel Toe Due to the unique placement of the Great Divide reservoir, directly on the flat Devonian carbonate basement, Connacher was able to utilize an innovative process during the circulation phase. Pressure in the horizontal producing wells was maintained at a slightly higher level than in the injection wells. This ensured that no hot spots or “short circuits” were developed from the injector well to the producer well, as such an occurrence would ultimately result in poorer recoveries. Connacher was able to use this technique, since there was no risk of heat losses to water or thief zones below the producer, as they do not exist in the Great Divide reservoir. This phase is normally scheduled for approximately 90 days. Great Divide ERCB Presentation Nov 2008 25 SAGD Phase with Steam Boost Horizontal Injector Long String Injecting steam into reservoir Short String Horizontal Producer Bitumen Production Steam Boost Great Divide ERCB Presentation Nov 2008 During this phase, the upper injection well commences steam injection into the reservoir as it has been pre-heated and will accept steam injection with minimal pressure increase. Both the short tubing string at the heel and the long tubing string near the toe of the well are continuously injecting steam into the reservoir. In the lower producing well, the steam circulation is stopped except for a small amount of steam injected out the long string (“boost”). Bitumen is produced up the short string at the heel. This steam boost keeps the toe of the producer well warm enough during the initial stages of SAGD production. This allows the bitumen produced in the toe area to flow to the heel. This phase is transitional and may last as little as two days or as long as one month. 26 Optimized SAGD Producer Steam Chamber HORIZONTAL INJECTOR Long String During this phase, the injection well continues as before, but in the producing well the “boost” steam out the long string tubing is shut off. This tubing string can now also produce bitumen in conjunction with the short string. The optimization of the production from each string in the producing horizontal well is essential.

Better than expected production ramp up. At September 30, 2008, 14 wells are producing. One (1) well re-drilled (102/09-17-082-12W4/00) out of 30. New production well (104/09-17-082-12W4/00) in circulation phase as of September 30 2008. Installed ESP in well (104/16-17-082-12W4/00 P8S) in September 2008 in order to lower SOR. Three (3) plant shutdowns in 2008 effected reservoir performance. • • May (de-bottlenecking), June (vessel clean out), September (mandated boiler and psv inspections). Plant optimization continues. Plan to drill 2 new well pairs in 2009. Drilled from existing pads and within the current development area.

Great Divide MARP was approved October 20, 2008 (appendix B) Well Testing The plant was designed to allow for two tests per well per month with a well test durations of 24 hours including stabilization and purge times. SInce August the plant has been using 12 hour test. The results of this change are still being evaluated. As information is gathered testing durations and frequencies will be modified to obtain representative well test information. It is anticipated that operators will use a tolerance band of +/-10% for flagging test results. Any test results outside this band, when compared to the most recent test, must be reviewed and accepted or rejected by the operator. The 10% band is used for volumetric comparisons as well as for water cut comparisons. The data is analyzed in accordance with calculations and procedures laid out in the MARP Great Divide ERCB Presentation Nov 2008 47 Water Recycle Water Recycle Rate = (Steam Injected – Fresh Water) * 100 Produced Water Source Water from Grand Rapids ( ~1900 ppm TDS) Great Divide ERCB Presentation Nov 2008 Water Source Wells 1F1/08-17-082-12W4 1F1/09-17-082-12W4 1F1/16-17-082-12W4 48 Facility Observations Observations • Initial high chemical usage and treater upsets at well startups.

It is 90% likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is only a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. Possible reserves were 72.3 million barrels as at Jun 30, 2008 per GLJ. Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Low Estimate is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation. If probabilistic methods are used, this term reflects P90 confidence level. Best Estimate is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation. If probabilistic methods are used, this term is a measure of central tendency of the uncertainty distribution (P50). High Estimate is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation. If probabilistic methods are used, the term reflects a P10 confidence level. Contingent resources and prospective resources are additive only for purposes of economic calculations, but are distinct categories with different risks. 10% Present Value of future net revenue, calculated after deduction of forecast royalties (royalty regime in effect as at June 30, 2008), operating expenses, capital expenditures and abandonment costs but before corporate overhead or other indirect costs, including interest and income taxes using GLJ July 1, 2008 price forecast. Future Net Revenue does not necessarily represent fair market value. Based on 211 million common shares outstanding as at June 30, 2008.
