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.

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.

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
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.

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.

Reservoir Performance Summary
•
•
•
•
Overall Reservoir Performance Excellent.
•
•
Production is climbing and SOR’s dropping as wells mature.
•
•
Downtime associated with this well for ESP install and optimization.
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 ERCB Presentation Nov 2008

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

Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. 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.
