Cenovus Reports Second-Quarter 2020 Results Company Captures Value by Leveraging Flexibility of Its Operations Calgary, Alberta (July 23, 2020) – Cenovus Energy Inc
Cenovus reports second-quarter 2020 results Company captures value by leveraging flexibility of its operations Calgary, Alberta (July 23, 2020) – Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) remained focused on financial resilience in the second quarter of 2020 and used the flexibility of its assets and marketing strategy to adapt quickly to the changing external environment. This positioned the company to weather the sharp decline in benchmark crude oil prices in April by reducing volumes at its oil sands operations and storing the mobilized oil in its reservoirs for production in an improved price environment. While Cenovus’s financial results were impacted by the weak prices early in the quarter, the company captured value by quickly ramping up production when Western Canadian Select (WCS) prices increased almost tenfold from April to an average of C$46.03 per barrel (bbl) in June. As a result of this decision, Cenovus reached record volumes at its Christina Lake oil sands project in June and achieved free funds flow for the month of more than $290 million. “We view the second quarter as a period of transition, with April as the low point of the downturn and the first signs of recovery taking hold in May and June,” said Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus President & Chief Executive Officer. “That said, we expect the commodity price environment to remain volatile for some time. We believe the flexibility of our assets and our low cost structure position us to withstand a continued period of low prices if necessary. And we’re ready to play a significant -

Cenovus Energy Inc. (CVE) – Quality and Growth for the Patient Investor
Portfolio Advisory Group Cenovus Energy Inc. (CVE) – Quality and Growth For The Patient Investor Cenovus was created through the split of Calgary-based Primer on the Oil Sands and energy company EnCana into two separate organizations in late 2009. As a result of this split, many Canadian Steam-Assisted-Gravity-Drainage investors found themselves holding two very different (SAGD) investments: a pure-play natural gas company (EnCana) Including the oil sands, Canada’s oil reserves are the and an integrated oil & gas company (Cenovus).

Husky Energy and BP Announce Integrated Oil Sands Joint Development
December 5, 2007 For immediate release Husky Energy and BP Announce Integrated Oil Sands Joint Development CALGARY, Alberta – Husky Energy Inc is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with BP to create an integrated, North American oil sands business consisting of pre-eminent upstream and downstream assets. The development will be comprised of two joint 50/50 partnerships, a Canadian oil sands partnership to be operated by Husky and a U.S. refining LLC to be operated by BP. Husky and BP will each contribute assets of equal value to the business. Husky will contribute its Sunrise asset located in the Athabasca oil sands in northeast Alberta, Canada and BP will contribute its Toledo refinery located in Ohio, USA. The transaction, which is subject to the execution of final definitive agreements and regulatory approval, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008 and with effective date January 1, 2008. "This transaction completes Husky’s Sunrise Oil Sands total integration with respect to upstream and downstream solutions," said Mr. John C.S. Lau, President & Chief Executive Officer of Husky Energy Inc. “Husky is extremely pleased to be partnering with BP, a world class global E & P and Refining company. The joint venture will provide better monitoring of project execution, costs and completion timing for this mega project development.” “Toledo and Sunrise are excellent assets. BP’s move into oil sands with Husky is an opportunity to build a strategic, material position and the huge potential of Sunrise is the ideal entry point for BP into Canadian oil sands.” said Tony Hayward, BP’s group chief executive. -

Base Mine Extension - Initial Project Description Summary February 2020 This Page Intentionally Left Blank SUNCOR ENERGY INC. Base Mine Extension - Initial Project Description Summary February 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor) is submitting a proposal to develop the Base Mine Extension Project (the Project). All plausible pathways to address global emissions need energy from fossil fuels and Suncor views Canada’s world class, strategic oil sands resource as a key part of the energy future for decades to come. Commensurate with Canada’s ambitions, Suncor is committed to a long-term strategy of reducing absolute emissions. With the innovation we are known for, Suncor can provide the world with trusted low carbon energy. Suncor has invested billions of dollars in infrastructure that produces value added products to meet the energy needs of Albertans and Canadians. This Project is necessary to continue to add value with this infrastructure. The bitumen from this project will be used to supply the existing upgraders at Suncor’s Oil Sands Base Plant operations (Base Plant), when the existing mines are depleted. The Project is adjacent to Base Plant and includes an open pit mining operation and extraction facilities. Production is expected to be nominally 225 thousand barrels per day of replacement bitumen during its estimated 25-year operational life. The Project application will be based on best-available technology. In parallel, Suncor is developing new technologies, such as non-aqueous extraction. These new technologies have the potential to significantly reduce the overall footprint, reclamation timeline, and GHG emissions of mining and will be incorporated as appropriate. -
