The Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) beds recovered better than expected resulting in production of approximately 107,900 bbl/d SCO for November 2010. The PSA unit performance will be closely monitored, however the likelihood that a complete shutdown will be required has been reduced significantly, and scheduled maintenance work will be performed if necessary. The Company continues to target Q4/10 production between 90,000 bbl/d and 100,000 bbl/d and overall annual production between 90,000 bbl/d and 93,000 bbl/d.

Canadian Natural is a senior crude oil and natural gas production company, with continuing operations in its core areas located in Western Canada, the U.K. portion of the North Sea and Offshore West Africa.
