Risk Management
Commodity Price Risk
• The Company periodically uses commodity derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk associated with the sale of its future crude oil and natural gas production and with natural gas purchases. At December 31, 2013, the Company had the following derivative financial instruments outstanding to manage its commodity price risk:

Commodity Price Risk
• The Company’s commodity hedging program reduces the risk of volatility in commodity prices and supports the Company’s cash flow for its capital expenditures programs.
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Risk Management
Interest Rate Risk
• CNQ is exposed to interest rate price risk on its fixed rate long-term debt and to interest rate cash flow risk on its floating rate long-term debt.
• CNQ periodically enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its fixed to floating interest rate mix on long-term debt.
• The interest rate swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional principal amounts on which the payments are based.
• At December 31, 2013, the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Risk Management
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
• CNQ is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in Canada primarily related to its US dollar denominated long-term debt, commercial paper and working capital.
• CNQ is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on transactions conducted in other currencies and in the carrying value of its foreign subsidiaries.
• CNQ periodically enters into cross currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts to manage known currency exposure on US dollar denominated long-term debt, commercial paper and working capital.
• The cross currency swap contracts require the periodic exchange of payments with the exchange at maturity of notional principal amounts on which the payments are based.

Risk Management
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Risk Management
• Credit risk is the risk that a party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge an obligation
• CNQ manages these risks by reviewing its exposure to individual companies on a regular basis and where appropriate, ensures that parental guarantees or letters of credit are in place to minimize the impact in the event of default. At December 31, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable were due within normal trade terms.
• CNQ is also exposed to possible losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments; however, the Company manages this credit risk by entering into agreements with counterparties that are substantially all investment grade financial institutions and other entities. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no net risk management assets with specific counterparties related to derivative financial instruments
Credit Risk
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Risk ManagementLiquidity Risk
• Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities
• Management of liquidity risk requires the Company to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents, along with other sources of capital, consisting primarily of cash flow from operating activities, available credit facilities, commercial paper and access to debt capital markets, to meet obligations as they become due.
• CNQ believes it has adequate bank credit facilities to provide liquidity to manage fluctuations in the timing of the receipt and/or disbursement of operating cash flows.

•Commodity price risk
•Foreign currency risk

•Environmental and climate change risk
Risk Management
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
The Company seeks to mitigate these risks through:
•Business processes•Management controls
from time to time by using financial instruments.
“As at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was the risk management asset and liability, which was valued based on “Level 2 inputs” being quoted prices in markets that are not active or based on prices that are observable for the asset or liability.”

Commodity Price Risk
•The most important risk to hedge
•The risk is managend by using swaps, collars and other financial instruments
•“Commodity price risk may be hedged upto a maximum of 50 percent of forecast sales volumes, net of royalties, for the balance of any current year and one year following and up to 25 percent of forecast sales volumes, net of royalties, for one additional year thereafter”
• “Subject to the Board’s approval, our hedging limits may be increased above the maximum limits”

Foreign Exchange Risk
• Prices received for crude oil are referenced to US dollars, thus Penn West’s realized oil prices are impacted by Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rates.
• A portion of the Company’s debt capital is denominated in US dollars, thus the principal and interest payments in Canadian dollars are also impacted by exchange rates.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if purchasers or counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations.
To hedge credit risk:•each counterparty is reviewed on a regular basis for the purpose of assigning a credit limit and may be requested to provide security if determined to be prudent (oil and natural gas sales and financial derivatives)•transacts with counterparties who are members of its banking syndicate or other counterparties that have investment grade bond ratings (financial derivatives)•Credit events related to all counterparties are monitored and credit exposures are reassessed on a regular basis
“In 2013, the maximum exposure to credit risk was $265 million (2012 - $364 million) being the carrying value of the accounts receivable.”
Risk Management
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Interest Rate Risk
“A portion of the Company’s debt capital is held in floating-rate bank facilities, which results in exposure to fluctuations in short-term interest rates, which remain at lower levels than longer-term rates.”
To mitigate interest rate risk:
•increasing the certainty of our future interest rates by entering fixed interest rate debt instruments
•using financial instruments to swap floating interest rates for fixed rates or to collar interest rates.
Risk Management
Intro Canadian Natural Resources Penn West Canadian Oil Sands Q&A
Interest Rate Risk
“As at December 31, 2013, none of the Company’s long-term debt instruments were exposed to changes in short-term interest rates (2012 – four percent).”
“As at December 31, 2013, a total of $2.1 billion (2012 – $1.9 billion) of fixed interest rate debt instruments was outstanding with an average remaining term of 4.5 years (2012 – 5.5 years) and an average interest rate of 5.8 percent (2012 – 5.8 percent), including the effects of interest rate swaps.”

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial liabilities as they come due
To mitigate liquidity risk:•Using short and long-term financial and capital forecasting programs to ensure credit facilities are sufficient relative to forecast debt levels, dividend and capital program levels are appropriate, and that financial covenants will be met•Regularly reviews capital markets to identify opportunities to optimize the debt capital structure on a cost effective basis•In the short term, liquidity is managed through daily cash management activities, short-term financing strategies and the use of collars and other financial instruments to increase the predictability of cash flow from operating activities.

The oil and gas industry has a number of environmental risks and hazards and is subject to regulation by all levels of government.
Environmental legislation includes, but is not limited to:•Operational controls•Site restoration requirements•Restrictions on emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and natural gas operations
Compliance with such legislation could require additional expenditures and a failure to comply may result in fines and penalties which could, in the aggregate and under certain assumptions, become material.
