we commit
to powerful strategies

Studies show that applying new technology could increase worldwide supply just as much as successful exploration. Quantum results occur when that technology is applied to a critical mass. Take Long Lake. Years ago we identified hurdles in developing oil sands, accumulated significant inventory and formed a strategy that disrupts conventional wisdom. The patented process substantially reduces the need to purchase natural gas, resulting in an expected $10/bbl cost advantage. Apply this to additional phases, and the rewards are massive. With significant CBM, shale gas and deep-water inventory, we’re planning strategies for what’s next.

Did you know Long Lake is named after a nearby lake, which is more round than long? Learn more about the project at www.nexeninc.com/reports/A4.asp

Phase 1 of Long Lake will only develop about 10% of our total oil sands leases. We will continue to develop this asset in phases, leveraging our unique technology to generate tremendous value.

we explore
a world of opportunities

Our opportunity inventory is simply unbeatable in both quality and size. Built with foresight, it is global and diverse, making us more sustainable in changing market conditions. Here in Canada, we have billions of barrels of oil sands inventory plus significant land positions with CBM and shale gas potential. Internationally, we have thousands of unexplored acres in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Now our job is to turn these opportunities into value-generating projects. In 2008, we’ll bring on Long Lake and Ettrick, and drill up to 11 exploration wells worldwide. Any one of these wells could be what’s next.

We are constantly investing in our future. In 2007, we acquired deep-water acreage and now hold about 200 blocks, placing us in the top 10. With several drill-ready prospects, we’re excited to discover what’s next.

we develop
world-class assets

Globally speaking, we are a small company with big company assets. And in this industry, size matters. Oil and gas is largely a fixed cost business—so larger fields and volumes yield lower unit capital and operating costs. Worldwide, there are just over 100 fields producing more than 100,000 boe/d. Buzzard in the North Sea and Masila in Yemen are part of this elite group. Next is Usan, offshore Nigeria, expected to produce around 180,000 boe/d (36,000 boe/d net to us). Long Lake in Canada and Knotty Head in the Gulf of Mexico could soon belong here too. With such exciting mega projects, we can’t wait to develop what’s next.
