For a full discussion of Cenovus's material risk factors, see “Risk Management and Risk Factors” in our most recently filed annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) or Form 40-F and the updates under "Risk Management" in the company's most recently filed quarterly MD&A available on SEDAR at sedar.com, on EDGAR at sec.gov and on Cenovus's website at cenovus.com. Cenovus Disclosure Policies Certain crude oil and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") volumes that have been converted to millions of cubic feet equivalent ("MMcfe") or thousands of cubic feet equivalent ("Mcfe") on the basis of one barrel ("bbl") to six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"). Also, certain natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"), thousands of BOE ("MBOE") or millions of BOE ("MMBOE") on the same basis. MMcfe, Mcfe, BOE, MBOE and MMBOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent value equivalency at the well head. Certain crude oil and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") volumes that have been converted to millions of cubic feet equivalent ("MMcfe") or thousands of cubic feet equivalent ("Mcfe") on the basis of one barrel ("bbl") to six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"). Also, certain natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"), thousands of BOE ("MBOE") or millions of BOE ("MMBOE") on the same basis. MMcfe, Mcfe, BOE, MBOE and MMBOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent value equivalency at the well head. Cenovus uses the terms resource play and estimated ultimate recovery, total petroleum initially-in-place, natural gas-in-place, crude oil-in-place, natural bitumen-in-place. Resource play is a term used by Cenovus to describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section, which when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate. Total petroleum initially-in-place ("PIIP") is defined by the Society of Petroleum Engineers - Petroleum Resources Management System ("SPE-PRMS") as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered (equivalent to "total resources"). Natural gas-in-place ("NGIP"), crude oil-in-place ("COIP") and natural bitumen-in-place ("NBIP") are defined in the same manner, with the substitution of "natural gas", "crude oil" and "natural bitumen" where appropriate for the word "petroleum". As used by Cenovus, estimated ultimate recovery ("EUR") has the meaning set out jointly by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and World Petroleum Congress in the year 2000, being those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from an accumulation, plus those quantities already produced therefrom. In this website, Cenovus has provided information with respect to certain of its Key Resource Plays and emerging opportunities which is "analogous information" as defined in NI 51-101. This analogous information includes estimates of PIIP, NGIP, COIP or NBIP and/or EUR, all as defined in the Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH") or by the SPE-PRMS, and/or production type curves. This analogous information is presented on a basin, sub-basin or area basis utilizing data derived from Cenovus's internal sources, as well as from a variety of publicly available information sources which are predominantly independent in nature. Some of this data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with COGEH. Regardless, estimates by engineering and geo-technical practitioners may vary and the differences may be significant. Cenovus believes that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to Cenovus's oil and gas activities, given its acreage position and operations (either ongoing or planned) in the areas in question. A recovery project cannot be defined for stated volumes of discovered natural bitumen initially-in-place, natural gas initially-in-place or crude oil initially-in-place at this time. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of these resources.
