SCO

On February 5, 2012 Canadian Natural (TSX:CNQ) (NYSE:CNQ) completed an orderly
shut-down of its Horizon Oil Sands Plant ("Horizon") to complete unplanned
maintenance on the Fractionating Unit ("Fractionator") in the Primary Upgrading
Facility. Since that date Synthetic Crude Oil ("SCO") production from Horizon
has been fully suspended. The Fractionator separates the cracked hydrocarbons
from the Coker into various components. It was initially Canadian Natural's view
that this unplanned maintenance could be completed in a short time so as to
return to full production levels by mid to late February, thereby not affecting
the Company's ability to meet its 2012 annual production guidance for Horizon. 


On February 11, upon gaining full access to the Fractionator, Canadian Natural
determined the damage to be somewhat more extensive than originally thought,
with a current estimated time to return to full production levels now targeted
for mid to late March. As a result of this unscheduled downtime, Canadian
Natural now targets 2012 annual production guidance for Horizon of 93,000 -
103,000 barrels per day of SCO down from its initial 2012 annual production
guidance for Horizon at 105,000 -115,000 barrels per day of SCO. 


Fourth quarter 2011 Horizon production averaged approximately 103,000 barrels
per day of SCO while January 2012 Horizon production averaged approximately
81,000 barrels per day of SCO. 


No injuries or environmental concerns resulted from this disruption, and due to
the orderly shut down process no ancillary winter damage has occurred. Costs
estimates for the repair are not yet available but are not expected to be
significant. Any material revisions to the above information will be released as
it becomes available. 


This document contains forward-looking statements under applicable securities
laws, including, in particular, statements about Canadian Natural's plans,
strategies and prospects, estimates of repair work required, expected timing of
resumption of production and anticipated production volumes. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, such statements are subject to known or unknown risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated.
