The Company uses the term boe which is calculated on an energy equivalence basis whereby one barrel of crude oil is equivalent to six thousand cubic feet of natural gas. Readers are cautioned that the term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. This measure is primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent an equivalency at the wellhead.
API° gravity
Measure of oil density or specific gravity used in the petroleum industry. The API scale expresses density such that the greater the density of the petroleum, the lower the degree of API gravity.
Barrel
A unit of volume equal to 42 U.S. gallons.
Bitumen
Bitumen is solid or semi-solid with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure.
Bulk terminal
A facility used primarily for the storage and/or marketing of petroleum products.
Coal bed methane
The primary energy source of natural gas is methane. Coal bed methane is methane found and recovered from the coal bed seams. The methane is normally trapped in coal by water that is under pressure. When the water is removed the methane is released.
Cold production
A non-thermal production process for heavy oil in unconsolidated sand formations. During the cold production process, heavy oil and sand are produced simultaneously through the use of progressive cavity pumps, which produce high pressure in the reservoir.
Debottleneck
To remove restrictions thus improving flow rates and productive capacity.
Delineation well
A well in close proximity to an oil or gas well that helps determine the aerial extent of the reservoir.
Developed area
A drainage unit having a well completed thereon capable of producing oil or gas in paying quantities.
Development well
A well drilled within the proved area of an oil and gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
AIF 2012 | Page 6 |
Table of Contents
Diluent
A lighter gravity liquid hydrocarbon, usually condensate or synthetic oil, added to heavy oil to improve the transmissibility of the oil through a pipeline.
Dry and abandoned well
A well found to be incapable of producing oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as a producing oil or gas well.
Enhanced recovery
The increased recovery from a crude oil pool achieved by artificial means or by the application of energy extrinsic to the pool. An artificial means or application includes pressuring, cycling, pressure maintenance or injection to the pool of a substance or form of energy but does not include the injection in a well of a substance or form of energy for the sole purpose of aiding in the lifting of fluids in the well, or stimulation of the reservoir at or near the well by mechanical, chemical, thermal or explosive means.
Exploration Licence (“EL”)
A licence with respect to the Canadian offshore or the Northwest or Yukon Territories conferring the right to explore for, and the exclusive right to drill and test for, petroleum; the exclusive right to develop the applicable area in order to produce petroleum; and, subject to satisfying the requirements for issuance of a production licence and compliance with the terms of the licence and other provisions of the relevant legislation, the exclusive right to obtain a production licence.
Exploratory well
A well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, a service well, an extension well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined herein.
Extension well
A well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.
Field
An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both.
Gathering system
Pipeline system and associated facilities used to gather natural gas or crude oil from various wells and deliver it to a central point where it can be moved from there by a single pipeline to a processing facility or sales point.
Heavy crude oil
Crude oil measured between 20 API° and 10 API° and is liquid at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure.
Horizontal drilling
Drilling horizontally rather than vertically through a reservoir, thereby exposing more of the well to the reservoir and increasing production.
Hydrogen sulphide
A poisonous gas which is colourless and heavier than air and is found in sour gas.
Infill well
A well drilled on an irregular pattern disregarding normal spacing requirements. These wells are drilled to produce from parts of a reservoir that would otherwise not be recovered through existing wells drilled in accordance with normal spacing.
Light crude oil
Crude oil measured at 30 API° or lighter.
AIF 2012 | Page 7 |
Table of Contents
Liquefied petroleum gas
Liquefied propanes and butanes, separately or in mixtures.
Medium crude oil
Crude oil measured between 20 API° and 30 API°.
Metocean data
Meteorological and oceanographic data used for, among other things, the design of marine structures.
Miscible flood
An enhanced recovery method which requires that three fluids exist in the reservoir: the mobile oil to be recovered, a displacing fluid (NGL) injected to move as a bank behind the oil, and a fluid injected to propel the displacing fluid (chase gas) through the reservoir.
Multiple completion well
A well producing from two or more formations by means of separate tubing strings running inside the casing, each of which carry hydrocarbons from a separate and distinct producing formation.
Natural gas liquids
Those hydrocarbon components recovered from raw natural gas as liquids by processing through extraction plants, or recovered from field separators, scrubbers or other gathering facilities. These liquids include the hydrocarbon components ethane, propane, butanes and condensate, or a combination thereof.
Oil battery
An accessible area to accommodate separators, treaters, storage tanks and other equipment necessary to process and store crude oil and other fluids prior to transportation.
Oil sands
Sands and other rock materials which contain crude bitumen and include all other mineral substances in association therewith.
Overriding royalty interests
An interest acquired or withheld in the oil and gas produced (or the proceeds from the sale of such oil and gas), received free and clear of all costs of development, operation, or maintenance and in addition to the usual landowner’s royalty reserved to the lessor in an oil and gas lease.
Primary recovery
The oil and gas recovered by any method that may be employed to produce the oil or gas through a single well bore. The fluid enters the well bore by the action of native reservoir energy or gravity.
Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”)
A contract for the development of resources under which the contractor’s costs (investment) are recoverable each year out of the production but there is a maximum amount of production which can be applied to the cost recovery in any year. This annual allocation of production is referred to as cost oil; the remainder is referred to as profit oil and is divided in accordance with the contract between the contractor and the host government.
Raw gas
Gas as produced from a well before the separation of liquefiable hydrocarbons or other substances contained therein.
Reserve Replacement Ratio
The reserve replacement ratio represents the rate at which the Company replaces reserve volumes realized through current production for a given period. The ratio is calculated as the sum of: closing reserve volumes less opening reserve volumes plus production volumes divided by production volumes.
Secondary recovery
Oil or gas recovered by injecting water or gas into the reservoir to force additional oil or gas to the producing wells. Usually, but not necessarily, this is done after the primary recovery phase has passed.
AIF 2012 | Page 8 |
Table of Contents
Seismic (survey)
A method by which the physical attributes in the outer rock shell of the earth are determined by measuring, with a seismograph, the rate of transmission of shock waves through the various rock formations. The rate at which the waves are transmitted varies with the medium through which they pass.
Service well
A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, saltwater disposal, water supply for injection, observation or injection for in-situ combustion.
Significant Discovery Licence (“SDL”)
A licence issued following the declaration of a significant discovery, which is indicated by the first exploration well that demonstrates by flow testing the existence of sufficient hydrocarbons in a particular geological feature to suggest potential for sustained production. A Significant Discovery Licence confers the same rights as that of an Exploration Licence.
Sour gas
Natural gas contaminated with chemical impurities, notably hydrogen sulphide or other sulphur compounds. Such compounds must be removed before the gas can be used for commercial or domestic purposes.
Specific gravity
The ratio between the weight of equal volumes of water and another liquid measured at standard temperature, the weight of water is assigned a value of one. However, the specific gravity of oil is normally expressed in degrees of API gravity as follows:
141.5 | -131.5 | |||||||
Degrees API = | Specific gravity @ F60 degrees |
Spot price
The price for a one-time open market transaction for immediate delivery of a specific quantity of product at a specific location where the commodity is purchased “on the spot” at current market rates.
Steam assisted gravity drainage (“SAGD”)
A recovery method used to produce heavy crude oil and bitumen in-situ. Steam is injected via a horizontal well along a producing formation. The temperature in the formation increases and lowers the viscosity of the crude oil allowing it to fall to a horizontal production well beneath the steam injection well.
Step-out well
A well drilled adjacent to a proven well but located in an unproven area; a well drilled in an effort to ascertain the extent and boundaries of a producing formation.
Stratigraphic test well
A drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intention of being completed for hydrocarbon production. This classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic test wells are classified as (i) “exploratory-type,” if not drilled in a proved area, or (ii) “development-type,” if drilled in a proved area.
Synthetic oil
A mixture of hydrocarbons derived by upgrading heavy crude oils, including bitumen, through a process that reduces the carbon content and increases the hydrogen content.
Tertiary recovery
The recovery of oil and gas by using exotic or complex recovery schemes involving steam, chemicals, gases or heat. Usually, but not necessarily, this is done after the secondary recovery phase has passed.
AIF 2012 | Page 9 |
Table of Contents
Three dimensional (“3-D”) seismic survey
Three dimensional seismic imaging which uses a grid of numerous cables rather than a few lines stretched in one line.
Turnaround
Perform maintenance at a plant or facility which requires the plant or facility to be completely or partially shutdown for the duration.
Undeveloped area
An area that has not been established by drilling operations whether oil and/or gas may be found in commercial quantities.
Waterflood
One method of secondary recovery in which water is injected into an oil reservoir for the purpose of forcing oil out of the reservoir and into the bore of a producing well.
Well abandonment costs
Costs of abandoning a well, net of any salvage value, and disconnecting the well from the surface gathering system.
Wellhead
The structure, sometimes called the “Christmas tree,” that is positioned on the surface over a well that is used to control the flow of oil or gas as it emerges from the subsurface casinghead.
Working interest
An interest in the net revenues of an oil and gas property which is proportionate to the share of exploration and development costs borne until such costs have been recovered, and which entitles the holder to participate in a share of net revenue thereafter.

On March 12, 2010, Husky issued $700 million in medium-term notes under the $1 billion shelf prospectus which was filed by the Company in December 2009 with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada. The medium-term notes were issued in two tranches: $300 million at 3.75% maturing on March 12, 2015 and $400 million at 5.00% maturing on March 12, 2020.
Mr. Asim Ghosh was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective June 1, 2010. Mr. Ghosh was previously appointed to the Board of Directors in May 2009. The Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John C.S. Lau, was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific, in May 2010 after stepping down as President and Chief Executive Officer of Husky after 18 years in the position. Mr. Lau’s retirement from Husky Asia Pacific was announced on July 19, 2011.
On May 31, 2010, Husky completed drilling and successful testing of the first appraisal well at the Liuhua 29-1 discovery Block 29/26 in the South China Sea with encouraging results.
On May 31, 2010, Husky also announced that oil production had been achieved from the North Amethyst field, offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. North Amethyst is the first satellite field development at Husky’s White Rose project and was brought on production less than four years after discovery. It is also the first subsea tieback project in Canada.
On September 1, 2010, Husky signed a purchase agreement to acquire natural gas properties in west central Alberta, which added 10.8 mboe/day of gross production, 32.9 mmboe of proved reserves and 10.7 mmboe of probable reserves, and extended the optimum utilization of its Ram River gas plant.

proceeding at the site. Construction of the field facilities is now more than 80% complete. Development work continues on the next phase of the project with the Design Basis Memorandum expected to be completed in 2013. Regulatory approvals are in place for a total of 200,000 bbls/day (100,000 bbls/day net).
Development continued at the White Rose field with the addition of an infill production well which was brought online in August 2012. As at the end of 2012, a total of 22 wells, including nine producing wells, ten water injectors, and three gas injectors were in production. Future infill wells are being evaluated. A development plan amendment was filed with the regulator in October 2012 to facilitate development of resources at the South White Rose Extension satellite. This region will be developed via subsea tieback to the SeaRose FPSO, similar to the North Amethyst satellite extension. At North Amethyst, development continued in 2012 with the addition of the fourth production well. At the end of 2012, four production and three water injection wells were on-line and the fourth water injector well is scheduled to be drilled in 2013. An application to develop the deeper Hibernia formation at North Amethyst is progressing through the regulatory review process. A water injection well to support the existing producing well for the West White Rose pilot project was completed and brought online during 2012. Evaluation of a wellhead platform to facilitate future development continued during 2012 and supporting regulatory filings were submitted for an environmental assessment of the concept. A decision on a preferred development option is expected in 2013.
Husky and Seadrill entered into a five-year contract for the use of Seadrill’s West Mira rig, a new harsh environment semi-submersible rig currently being built and expected to be completed in 2015.
Exploration activity in the Atlantic Region included drilling of the Searcher prospect in the southern Jeanne D’Arc Basin. The well did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons and was expensed in 2012. The Company plans to participate in a number of operated and non-operated exploratory wells in the Atlantic Region during the 2013/2014 timeframe. The first well in this program is a partner-operated exploration well southeast of the Mizzen discovery located in the Flemish Pass offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
DESCRIPTION OF HUSKY’S BUSINESS
Husky is a publicly traded international integrated energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Management has identified segments for the Company’s business based on differences in products, services and management responsibility. The Company’s business is conducted predominantly through two major business segments – Upstream and Downstream.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed an evaluation of activities of the Company’s former Midstream segment as a service provider to the Upstream or Downstream operations. As a result, and consistent with the Company’s strategic view of its integrated business, the previously reported Midstream segment activities are now aligned and reported within the Company’s core exploration and production, or in its upgrading and refining businesses. The Company believes this change in segment presentation allows management and third parties to more effectively assess the Company’s performance.
Upstream includes exploration for, and development and production of, crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and NGL (Exploration and Production) and marketing of the Company’s and other producers’ crude oil, natural gas, NGL, sulphur and petroleum coke, pipeline transportation and blending of crude oil and natural gas and storage of crude oil, diluent and natural gas (Infrastructure and Marketing). The Company’s Upstream operations are located primarily in Western Canada, offshore East Coast of Canada, offshore Greenland, offshore China and offshore Indonesia.
Downstream includes upgrading of heavy crude oil feedstock into synthetic crude oil (Upgrading), refining in Canada of crude oil and marketing of refined petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, ethanol blended fuels, asphalt and ancillary products, and production of ethanol (Canadian Refined Products) and refining in the U.S. of primarily crude oil to produce and market gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuels that meet U.S. clean fuels standards (U.S. Refining and Marketing).

Social and Environmental Policy
Husky Operational Integrity Management System
Husky approaches social responsibility and sustainable development by seeking a balance among economic, environmental and social issues while maintaining growth. Husky strives to find solutions to these issues that do not compromise the needs of future generations. In 2008, Husky implemented the Husky Operational Integrity Management System (“HOIMS”) which is followed by all Husky businesses, with particular emphasis on projects and operations and management of the operational integrity of assets throughout its life cycle. HOIMS includes 14 fundamental elements; each element contains well defined objectives and expectations that guide Husky to continuously improve operational integrity. Resources are dedicated to the continued implementation and execution of HOIMS, and audits are conducted to help ensure that HOIMS is effectively integrated into daily operations.
The fundamental elements of HOIMS are:
1. | Ensure all levels of management demonstrate leadership and commitment to operational integrity. Define and ensure appropriate accountability for HOIMS throughout the organization. |
2. | Prevent incidents by identifying and minimizing workplace and personal health risks. Promote and reinforce all safe behaviours. |
3. | Manage risks by performing comprehensive risk assessments to provide essential decision-making information. Develop and implement plans to manage significant risks and impacts to as low as reasonably practical levels. |
4. | Be prepared for an emergency or security threat. Identify all necessary actions to be taken to protect people, the environment, the organization’s assets and reputation in the event of an emergency or security threat. |
5. | Maintain operations reliability and integrity by use of clearly defined and documented operational, maintenance, inspection and corrosion programs. Seek improvements in process and equipment dependability by systematically eliminating defects and sources of loss. |
6. | Provide assurance that personnel possess the necessary competencies, knowledge, abilities and behaviours to perform and demonstrate designated tasks and responsibilities effectively, efficiently and safely. |
7. | Report and investigate all incidents. Learn from incidents and use the information to take corrective action and prevent recurrence. |
8. | Operate responsibly to minimize the environmental impact of operations. Leave a positive legacy behind when operations cease. |
9. | Ensure that risks and exposures from proposed changes are identified, evaluated and managed to remain at an acceptable level. |
10. | Identify, maintain and safeguard important information. Ensure personnel can readily access and retrieve information. Promote and encourage constructive dialogue within the organization to share industry recommended practices and acquired knowledge. |
11. | Ensure conformance with Corporate policies and compliance with all relevant government regulations. Work constructively to influence proposed laws and regulations, and debate on emerging issues. |
12. | Design, construct, commission, operate and decommission all assets in a healthy, safe, secure, environmentally sound, reliable and efficient manner. |
13. | Ensure contractors and suppliers perform in a manner that is consistent and compatible with Husky’s policies and business performance standards. Ensure contracted services and procured materials meet the requirements and expectations of Husky’s standards. |
14. | Confirm that HOIMS processes are implemented and assess whether they are working effectively. Measure progress and continually improve towards meeting HOIMS objectives, targets, and key performance indicators. |
Health, Safety and Environment
The Health, Safety and Environment Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of health, safety and environment policy, audit results and for monitoring compliance with the Company’s environmental policies, key performance indicators and regulatory requirements. The mandate of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee is available on the Husky website atwww.huskyenergy.com.

Environmental Protection
Husky’s operations are subject to various environmental requirements under federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations, as well as international conventions. These laws and regulations cover matters such as air emissions, wastewater discharge, non-saline water use, land disturbances and handling and disposal of waste materials. These laws and regulations have proliferated and become more complex over time, governing an increasingly broad aspect of the industry’s mode of operating and product characteristics. Husky continues to monitor emerging environmental laws and regulations and proactively implements programs as required for compliance.
Husky is required by the Government of Canada to report facilities that emit greater than 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalence (“CO2E”). The Lloydminster Upgrader, Lloydminster Refinery, Prince George Refinery, SeaRose floating, production and storage offloading vessel (“FPSO”), Sierra compressor station, Ram River gas plant, Rainbow Lake gas plant, Tucker thermal oil plant, Bolney SAGD thermal plant, Pikes Peak CSS thermal plant and the Lloydminster and Minnedosa ethanol plants are in this category. Husky has implemented an Environmental Performance Reporting System (“EPRS”) that gathers, consolidates, and calculates information, generates reports and identifies trends regarding greenhouse gas emissions.
Husky is also a member of the Integrated CO2 Network, which is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The group continues to study technologies related to the capture, transportation and storage of CO2. A project was completed in 2012 to capture, compress and liquefy CO2from the Lloydminster ethanol plant for injection into heavy oil fields for Enhanced Oil Recovery. At Lloydminster and Rainbow Lake, Husky utilizes cogeneration to produce both electricity and thermal energy for use at its processing facilities. This configuration has fewer adverse effects on the environment and is cost effective. Electrical energy in excess of Husky’s requirements is sold into the grid, the provincial network of electrical transmission and distribution facilities. At Husky’s Tucker Thermal SAGD project vapour recovery systems are in use on all tanks and process vessels.
Husky has undertaken programs to minimize water consumption, particularly non-saline water. At the Tucker Thermal SAGD project, over 80% of water produced with the bitumen is recycled, and make up water is sourced from very saline, non-potable groundwater. Husky is implementing various technologies to improve water efficiency. A number of Husky fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan use alkali surfactant polymer (“ASP”) to increase water efficiency in enhanced oil recovery. In the Lloydminster area, Husky uses CO2 to dilute and mobilize heavy oil in a pilot project.
Ongoing remediation and reclamation work is occurring at approximately 2,900 well sites and facilities. In 2012, Husky spent approximately $118 million on asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and expects to spend approximately $130 - $150 million in 2013 on environmental site closure activities, including abandonment, decommissioning, reclamation and remediation.
The Company completed a review of its ARO provisions including estimated costs and projected timing of performing the abandonment and retirement operations. The results of this review have been incorporated into the estimated liability as disclosed in Note 16 of the consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2012, Husky had 512 retail locations in its light refined products operations, which consisted of 361 owned or leased locations (Husky controlled) and 151 independent retailer locations. Husky is continually monitoring the owned and leased locations for environmental compliance and, where required, performing remediation including routine underground tank replacements. Husky has several “legacy” (inactive facility) sites which require remediation. These inactive sites range from refinery sites to retail locations.
It is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of additional investment in new or existing facilities required to be incurred in the future for environmental protection or to address regulatory compliance requirements, such as reporting. Although these costs may be significant, Husky does not expect that they will have a material adverse effect on liquidity and financial position over the long-term.

Block 29/26
Husky executed a PSC with CNOOC for the Contract Area 29/26 exploration block on October 1, 2004. The block is located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin of the South China Sea approximately 300 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong and 65 kilometers southeast of the Panyu gas discovery. The third Exploration Phase of the PSC has been completed and the retained area for development and production is approximately 55,100 acres (223 square kilometers).
In 2006, Husky drilled the Liwan 3-1-1 well natural gas discovery. The well was drilled in 1,500 meters of water to a total depth of 3,843 meters. During 2009, Husky discovered an additional gas field at Liuhua 34-2, approximately 23 kilometers to the northeast of the Liwan 3-1 field. In 2010, the Company made another natural gas discovery at Liuhua 29-1, approximately 43 kilometers to the northeast of the Liwan 3-1 field.
In late 2010, Husky Oil China Ltd. signed a Heads of Agreement with CNOOC which specified CNOOC’s election to participate in the development of the Block 29/26 discoveries to its maximum 51% working interest and key principles to fund, develop and operate the Liwan 3-1 deep water gas field. It was agreed that the project would be separated into deep water and shallow water development projects with Husky acting as deep water operator and CNOOC acting as shallow water operator. The deep water project would include a subsea production system connected by dual flow lines to a central shallow water platform. The shallow water project would include the shallow water platform connected to an onshore gas plant with access to the energy markets of Hong Kong and the Guangdong province on the China mainland. It was also envisaged that the Liuhua 34-2 and Liuhua 29-1 fields would be tied into and share usage of the shallow water infrastructure.
In 2011, Husky completed tendering the major deep water equipment and installation activity and CNOOC commenced the shallow water pipe laying and onshore gas plant construction. A gas sales agreement was also executed with CNOOC Gas & Power Group, Guangdong Branch for volumes from the Liwan 3-1 field.
In 2012, Husky made significant progress in the development of the Liwan 3-1 field. The ODP for the field was approved by the Chinese Government and the project was more than 80% complete at the end of 2012. Two further upper completions in the Liwan 3-1 gas field were installed and flow tested successfully at the expected production rates bringing the total of fully ready production wells to seven. All nine subsea production trees have been installed on the wells and eight associated upper completions have also been installed.
At the end of 2012, approximately 90 kilometers of the two 79-kilometer deep water pipelines connecting the gas field to the central platform have been laid and approximately 190 kilometers out of 261 kilometers of shallow water pipeline have been laid from the central platform to the onshore gas plant. Pipe laying activity is planned to resume in early 2013.
The jacket for the shallow water central platform was completed and load-out of the jacket was achieved in July 2012. The jacket was launched onto the ocean floor on August 30, 2012 after which piling to anchor the feet of the jacket to the seabed was completed. Fabrication and installation of the jacket is now fully complete and ready for the floatover of the topsides for the central platform which is planned for mid-2013.
Platform topsides fabrication progressed in 2012. The Monoethylene Glycol Recovery Unit was delivered to the Qingdao, Eastern China topsides construction site and the approximately 850 tonne unit was elevated and set into its final installation position on the upper deck. Generators and compressors have also been positioned and construction of control rooms, living quarters and other facilities are in their final stages.
Construction of the onshore gas plant progressed on schedule with site preparations and foundations largely completed including the completion of a seawall on the eastern side of the site. Nine of ten spherical liquids storage tanks are in place and the construction of pipe racks for transporting gas through the site is progressing. Construction of the control and administrative buildings as well as living areas commenced.
Development of the single well Liuhua 34-2 field is proceeding in parallel with, and will be tied into the development of the Liwan 3-1 field. FEED for the development of the Liuhua 29-1 gas field has now been completed, and the ODP is being prepared. Negotiations for the sale of the gas from the Liuhua 34-2 and Liuhua 29-1 fields are ongoing.
AIF 2012 | Page 19 |

The Liwan 3-1 development project is proceeding on schedule with first gas anticipated in late 2013/early 2014. The Liuhua 34-2 field is being developed on the same schedule. Production from the Liwan 3-1 field is expected to ramp up through 2014.
Taiwan
In December 2012, Husky signed a joint venture contract with CPC Corporation, Taiwan for an exploration block in the South China Sea. The exploration block is located 100 kilometers southwest of the island of Taiwan and covers approximately 10,300 square kilometers. Husky holds a 75% working interest during exploration, while CPC Corporation has the right to participate in the development program up to a 50% interest. Under the joint venture contract, Husky has an obligation to carry out two-dimensional (“2-D”) seismic surveys within the first two years, with options to carry out 3-D seismic surveys and to drill at least one exploration well in subsequent exploration periods.
Indonesia
Madura Strait
Husky has a 40% interest in approximately 621,700 acres (2,516 square kilometers) of the Madura Strait block, located offshore East Java, south of Madura Island, Indonesia. Husky’s two partners are CNOOC which is the operator and has a 40% working interest, and Samudra Energy Ltd., which holds the remaining 20% interest through its affiliate, SMS Development Ltd.
The BD gas field was granted commercial status and the Plan of Development was approved by the Indonesian state oil company in 1995. The field was to supply natural gas to a proposed independent power plant; however, construction of the power plant did not proceed due to economic issues that occurred in Indonesia at that time and as a result the BD development was deferred. Market conditions became more favourable for the BD development to supply gas to meet the demand of the East Java region and an updated development plan was approved in 2008 by the Government of Indonesia.
In October 2010, the Government of Indonesia approved an extension of the PSC that was originally awarded in 1982. The approval provided a 20-year extension to the contract which now runs until 2032. The BD field FEED was completed in the second quarter of 2010 and gas sales contracts previously signed in 2010 with three gas buyers were amended in 2011.
In 2011, CNOOC drilled an appraisal well which confirmed commercial quantities of hydrocarbons in the MDA field. An exploration well was also drilled in 2011 on the MBH field and a new gas field was discovered.
In November 2012, the functions of BP Migas, the then Indonesian oil and gas regulator, were transferred to the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and a new body, SKK Migas, that has been established as the new industry regulator. As discussed and agreed with the new regulator, a re-tender for the BD field FPSO was conducted and pre-qualification responses are being evaluated. Tendering for the wellhead platform and sales pipeline are also in progress.

North Sumbawa II
Husky executed a PSC in November 2008 with the Government of Indonesia for the North Sumbawa II contract area. Husky holds a 100% interest in the North Sumbawa II block, which is located in the East Java Basin approximately 300 kilometers east of the Madura Strait block and covers an area of 937,300 acres (3,793 square kilometers). The PSC requires the acquisition of 2-D seismic data with a commitment of U.S. $2 million, and the drilling of one exploration well with a commitment of U.S. $10 million within the first four years of the contract, including an approved one year extension. Husky satisfied its seismic work commitment by acquiring 1,020 kilometers of 2-D seismic data in December 2009. Husky has used this data to identify a potential exploration prospect and drilling is under consideration. Husky requested and received an additional one year extension to fulfill its initial drilling commitments.
Atlantic Region
Husky’s offshore East Coast Canada exploration and development program is focused on the Jeanne d’Arc Basin on the Grand Banks, which contains the Hibernia and Terra Nova fields, as well as the White Rose field and satellite extensions including the North Amethyst, West White Rose and the South White Rose extensions. Husky is the operator of the White Rose field and satellite extensions and holds ownership interests in the Terra Nova field, as well as in a number of smaller undeveloped fields. Husky also holds significant exploration acreage offshore Newfoundland and Labrador and a portfolio of exploration licences offshore Greenland.
White Rose Oil Field
The White Rose oil field is located 354 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador and approximately 48 kilometers east of the Hibernia oil field on the eastern section of the Jeanne d’Arc Basin. Husky is the operator of the White Rose field and satellite tiebacks, including the North Amethyst, West White Rose and South White Rose extensions. The Company has a 72.5% working interest in the core field, and a 68.9% working interest in the satellite fields.

Table of Contents
First oil was achieved at White Rose in November 2005. The White Rose field was the third oil field developed offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. The field currently has nine production wells, ten water injectors, and three gas injectors. Husky continues to look at means of enhancing oil recovery from the core field, and during 2012 drilled an infill production well at White Rose in the South Avalon oil pool, which was brought online in August 2012. During 2012, Husky’s gross production from the White Rose field averaged 14.3 mbbls/day.
On May 31, 2010, first oil was achieved from North Amethyst, the first satellite field extension for the White Rose field. The field is located approximately six kilometers southwest of the SeaRose FPSO vessel. Production flows from North Amethyst to the SeaRose FPSO through a series of subsea flow lines. During 2012, Husky’s gross production from North Amethyst averaged 13.1 mbbls/day. A fourth production well was completed and brought online in December 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the field had four production wells and three water injection wells. Up to 11 wells are currently planned for the main North Amethyst development.
A Development Plan Amendment (“DPA”) requesting approval to produce from a second, deeper formation at North Amethyst is moving through the regulatory review process. The DPA currently envisions drilling one production well and one water injector, utilizing existing infrastructure.
Husky continues to progress plans for a staged development of the West White Rose field through a two-well pilot project. First production was achieved in September 2011, with a supporting water injection well completed and brought online in 2012. Husky’s production from this satellite field was 3.4 mbbls/day during 2012. These wells will provide additional information on the reservoir to refine development plans for the full West White Rose field.
The Company continues to evaluate the feasibility of a concrete wellhead and drilling platform for development of future resources in the White Rose region, including the full development of West White Rose. Pre-FEED and FEED contracts to support this work were awarded in April 2012.
Production from the White Rose field and satellite extensions was impacted during 2012 by a planned maintenance off-station program which saw production from the SeaRose FPSO shut in for 102 days. Production resumed August 13, 2012, three weeks ahead of schedule.
In the third quarter of 2012, Husky excavated a new subsea drill centre to facilitate future operations at the South White Rose extension. Discovered in 2003, it is the smallest of the satellite tie-back developments. A DPA to provide for both production and gas injection wells in the region was filed in the fourth quarter of 2012. Development drilling from the new centre is scheduled to commence in early 2013.
Terra Nova Oil Field
The Terra Nova oil field is located approximately 350 kilometers southeast of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Terra Nova oil field is divided into three distinct areas, known as the Graben, the East Flank and the Far East. Production at Terra Nova commenced in January 2002. Husky’s working interest in the field increased to 13% effective December 1, 2010.
Husky’s production in 2012 from the Terra Nova field was 3.0 mbbls/day. Production at Terra Nova was impacted by a planned maintenance off-station program which lasted 26 weeks. Production from the field resumed on December 9, 2012 and continues to ramp up more slowly than anticipated.
As at December 31, 2012, there were 14 wells in operation in the Graben area, eight production wells, three water injection wells and three gas injection wells. In the East Flank area there were 12 wells operating, including seven production wells and five water injection wells. There is one extended reach producer and an extended reach water injection well in the Far East area. Drilling operations are expected to continue in 2013 on both new and existing development wells.
Atlantic Region Exploration
Husky believes that the Atlantic Region has exploration potential, and that the Company’s position in the region will provide growth opportunities for light crude oil and natural gas development in the medium to long-term. Husky presently holds working interests ranging from 5.3% to 73.1% in 23 significant discovery areas (“SDAs”) in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin, the Flemish Pass and Labrador and Baffin Island.

Husky is the operator of two ELs offshore the west coast of Disko Island, Greenland. Husky continues to evaluate its opportunities in the region and has received a a two-year extension on the initial phase of its exploration program. Geotechnical evaluations continued on the Greenland concessions and socio-economic study work is expected to advance during 2013.
Oil Sands
Sunrise Energy Project
On March 31, 2008, Husky and BP completed a transaction that created an integrated North American oil sands business. The business comprises a 50/50 partnership to develop the Sunrise Energy Project, operated by Husky, and a 50/50 limited liability company for the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery, operated by BP.
FEED for Phase I of the Sunrise in-situ SAGD oil sands project, located in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta, was completed in December 2009. During 2010, the partnership reached an agreement on the movement of diluted bitumen to market and transportation of diluent to the Sunrise oil sands site. Project sanction for Phase I was announced in late 2010 and Husky awarded major engineering and construction contracts for the central processing and field facilities. Development drilling commenced in the first quarter of 2011. First production for Phase I is planned for 2014.
The Sunrise Energy Project was approved by the ERCB in December 2005. An amendment to the application was submitted in April 2007, which outlined changes and optimizations resulting from ongoing depletion planning and FEED. Amendment approvals from the ERCB were received in January 2009 and approval from Alberta Environment was received in the first quarter of 2009. A second amendment to optimize the central plant facility design was filed with the regulators in July 2009 and approval was received from both the ERCB and Alberta Environment in December 2009.
The drilling program for Phase I was completed in 2012 and the CPF is approaching 50% completion with piling substantially completed and foundation work proceeding at the site. Major equipment continues to be delivered and placed into position with approximately half of the modules fabricated and moved to site. Construction of the field facilities is now more than 80% complete with significant activity currently underway, including pipelining in the field and fabrication in the module shops.
Regulatory approvals are in place for a total of 200,000 bbls/day (100,000 bbls/day net).
Tucker Oil Sands Project
Tucker is an in-situ SAGD oil sands project located 30 kilometers northwest of Cold Lake, Alberta that commenced production at the end of 2006. Husky drilled two wells (one well pair) in 2011 to test the productivity of the Lower Grand Rapids formation. Based on the positive results, drilling of ten wells (five well pairs) commenced in 2012. Gross production at Tucker in December 2012 was 9.9 mbbls/day. Several applications to the ERCB have been approved or are proceeding for additional drilling and field development through 2015.
Undeveloped Oil Sands Assets
Husky holds in excess of 550,000 acres in undeveloped oil sands leases and has a 100% working interest in all leases except in Athabasca South in which it has a 50% working interest.
In Saleski, just north of the Hamlet of Wabasca, Alberta, Husky drilled and tested two wells and tested one standing well to high-grade acreage and select a pilot production area and confirm the availability of water source and disposal. Lab scale tests were performed to support advancing to the pilot stage; the application for the pilot is planned for 2013.
Further portfolio activity is expected to focus on accelerating and high grading the development of Husky’s other oil sands leases.

Heavy Oil
Lloydminster Heavy Oil and Gas
Husky’s heavy oil assets are primarily concentrated in a large producing region in the Lloydminster, Alberta/Saskatchewan area. The Company maintains a land position of approximately two million gross acres within this area. Over 90% of Husky’s proved reserves in the region are contained in the heavy crude oil producing areas of Pikes Peak, Edam, Tangleflags, Celtic, Bolney, Paradise Hill, Westhazel, Big Gully, Mervin, Marwayne, Lashburn, Gully Lake, Vermilion, Swimming, Morgan, Lindbergh, Aberfeldy, Marsden, Epping, Furness and Rush Lake, and in the medium gravity crude oil producing fields of Wildmere and Wainwright. These fields contain accumulations of heavy crude oil at relatively shallow depths and are all located within 100 kilometers of the town of Lloydminster, Alberta.
Husky currently produces from oil and gas wells ranging in depth from 450 meters to 650 meters and holds a 100% working interest in the majority of these wells. Production of heavy oil from the Lloydminster area uses a variety of techniques, including primary production methods, horizontal well technology, CSS, and SAGD. Husky has increased primary production from the area through cold production techniques which utilize progressive cavity pumps capable of simultaneous production of sand and heavy oil from unconsolidated formations. Husky’s gross heavy and medium crude oil production from the area averaged 89.5 mbbls/day in 2012. Of the total gross crude oil produced, 61.1 mbbls/day was primary production of heavy crude oil, including CHOPS and horizontal technologies, 26.3 mbbls/day was from Husky’s thermal operations and 2.1 mbbls/day was from the medium gravity waterflooded fields in the Wainwright and Wildmere areas. Husky also produces natural gas from numerous small shallow pools in the Lloydminster region and recovers solution gas produced from heavy oil wells. During 2012, Husky’s gross natural gas production from the Lloydminster region averaged 25.4 mmcf/day.
In the Lloydminster area, the Company owns and operates 21 oil treating facilities which are tied into the Husky heavy oil pipeline systems. These pipeline systems transport heavy crude oil from the field locations to the Husky Lloydminster asphalt refinery, the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader and the third-party pipeline systems at Hardisty, Alberta.
AIF 2012 | Page 25 |

Production commenced in the second quarter of 2012 ahead of schedule at both the Pikes Peak South and Paradise Hill heavy oil thermal projects and has ramped up to levels exceeding the combined 11,500 bbls/day design rates. Average production levels of approximately 12,000 bbls/day at Pikes Peak South and 5,000 bbls/day at Paradise Hill heavy oil thermal projects were achieved during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Construction is approximately 40% complete at the 3,500 bbls/day Sandall thermal development project and initial drilling has commenced. First production is scheduled in 2014.
Design and initial site work is continuing at the 10,000 bbls/day Rush Lake commercial project with first production anticipated in 2015. Production performance from the first single well pair pilot is in line with expectations and a second well pair pilot is planned to commence production in the second quarter of 2013. Initial planning is ongoing for three additional commercial thermal projects.
The Company advanced its horizontal drilling program in 2012 with the completion of 144 wells. Based on the positive performance of previous horizontal drilling programs, Husky is continuing this program by planning to drill approximately 140 wells in 2013. The Company also drilled 250 gross CHOPS wells during 2012. In 2013, 200 CHOPS wells are planned.
The Company is focused on increasing its heavy oil production and believes that its undeveloped land position, coupled with the development and application of improved recovery technologies, will maintain heavy crude oil production in the Lloydminster area.
Non-Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”)
Husky operated four solvent EOR pilot programs in 2012 and a CO2 capture and liquefaction plant at the Lloydminster Ethanol Plant. This liquefied CO2 is used in the ongoing EOR piloting program.
Western Canada (excluding Heavy Oil and Oil Sands)
East Central Alberta
Husky’s East Central Alberta operations are located primarily in central Alberta, in a band extending from the Rocky Mountain foothills in the west, to east of the Alberta/Saskatchewan boundary. Husky operates 67 facilities in the area. Husky’s 2012 gross production from East Central Alberta averaged 82 mmcf/day of natural gas and 16.4 mbbls/day of oil and NGL.
Husky plans to continue its Viking resource oil drilling program which targets medium productivity reservoirs enhanced by utilizing horizontal drilling and multiple-stage fracturing treatments. Plans are in place to drill up to 58 Viking wells in 2013, primarily at the proven areas of Redwater (20 kilometers northeast of Edmonton) and Elrose (80 kilometers southwest of Saskatoon), and expand into the Alliance area (200 kilometers southeast of Edmonton). Husky currently has approximately 100 wells producing from the plays and will continue to develop infrastructure in all three areas, as required.
Preparations for the Macklin, Saskatchewan ASP flood have advanced, with petrophysical and coreflood studies completed, confirming ASP flooding potential. Optimization of the existing pattern waterflood which is necessary prior to ASP implementation is underway and well workovers are scheduled to be completed in 2013.
At Red Deer, Husky will focus on the development of additional oil resource properties from the Mississippian and Devonian formations. Development of Husky’s gas properties in the area has been deferred due to low commodity prices with the exception of some liquids-rich gas prospects in the Hussar field.
Southern Alberta and Southern Saskatchewan
Husky is the operator of a number of properties in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. Husky’s gross production from properties in southern Alberta averaged 7.0 mbbls/day of crude oil and NGL and 16.8 mmcf/day of natural gas during 2012. In southern Saskatchewan, 2012 gross production averaged 15.6 mbbls/day of crude oil and NGL and 14.9 mmcf/day of natural gas.

A tank treating facility, gathering system, and oil sales line were built and commissioned. Production and evaluation of the Lower Shaunavon formation in southwest Saskatchewan continued with four wells drilled and put on production. Husky’s gross production from these two plays was approximately 2.6 mbbls/day in December 2012.
Foothills Northwest Plains
The Foothills Northwest Plains area is located in western and northern Alberta and British Columbia. The area is made up of five distinct districts: Rainbow Lake, Northern Alberta, Northern Alberta & British Columbia Plains, Ansell-Galloway and Foothills. Average production from across all Foothills Northwest Plains was approximately 97.1 mboe/day in 2012.
Rainbow Lake, located approximately 700 kilometers northwest of Edmonton, Alberta, is the site of Husky’s largest light oil production operation in Western Canada. Husky’s production for 2012 from the Rainbow Lake district averaged 10.8 mbbls/day of light crude oil and NGL and 94.2 mmcf/day of natural gas. In addition to operating and continuing development of these assets, Husky has commenced exploration activities within the Muskwa resource play in which Husky holds a 100% working interest and a total of 12 horizontal wells were drilled in 2012.
The Northern Alberta district surrounds the communities of Peace River and Slave Lake northwest of Edmonton, Alberta and produces shallow gas and heavy oil. Husky’s production for 2012 from this district averaged 6.5 mbbls/day of heavy oil and 32 mmcf/day of natural gas. Husky drilled 54 wells in 2012 to expand its primary heavy oil production from the McMullen field, located 40 kilometers southwest of the Hamlet of Wabasca, Alberta and continued to evaluate an EOR pilot project through 2012.
Gross production from the Northern Alberta & British Columbia Plains district averaged approximately 5.2 mbbls/day of light crude oil and NGL and 81.9 mmcf/day of natural gas in 2012. The Company continued development of the Cardium oil resource play in the Wapiti area, in which Husky holds a 100% working interest, drilling five horizontal oil wells.
Production at the Ansell-Galloway district was approximately 2.2 mbbls/day of NGL and 56.0 mmcf/day of natural gas in 2012. A horizontal drilling program was executed in 2012 with six Cardium and five Wilrich horizontal wells drilled. In addition four vertical appraisal wells were drilled and Husky participated in three partner operated horizontal wells. Significant progress was made with securing additional offtake capacity utilizing excess third-party plant capacity in the area for 2013 volumes and beyond.
The Foothills district produced approximately 4.0 mbbls/day of light crude oil and NGL and 146.1 mmcf/day of natural gas in 2012. Production from the area is predominantly processed at the Ram River gas plant, with Husky operating and holding an average 84% interest in the Ram River sour gas plant and related processing facilities located in the Foothills district. Maintenance and operational activities continued in 2012; however, development activity was limited.
Northwest Territories (“NWT”)
In the NWT, Husky was active on two ELs acquired in June 2011. Following the construction of an ice bridge spanning the Mackenzie River and a winter access road, two vertical pilot wells were drilled: the N-09 well on EL 463 and the H-64 well on EL 462. These two wells satisfied the requirements to extend the term of both ELs to the full nine-year term. The two vertical wells were extensively cored and have provided valuable data for the characterization of the geochemical and geomechanical properties of the reservoir and the bounding units. Additionally, a 220 square kilometre multi-component proprietary 3-D seismic survey was acquired.
AIF 2012 | Page 27 |
Table of Contents
Pre-disturbance, archeological, permafrost, aggregate, baseline wildlife, vegetation and surface water studies were conducted in the summer of 2012. This data, combined with the geotechnical data acquired from the two vertical wells, provided the background for Husky’s land and water use permit applications for the winter 2012/2013 program including construction, baseline groundwater, completion/testing and all season access road projects which received regulatory approval.
Columbia River Basin (Washington and Oregon State – USA)
Husky holds undeveloped land in the Columbia River Basin located in the states of Washington and Oregon. While these lands are thought to be prospective for natural gas, this play is not competitive with Husky’s many other opportunities for investment due to the relatively high risk of the play, combined with the current low gas prices. A decision has been made to allow these leases to expire.
Distribution of Oil and Gas Production
Crude Oil and NGL
Husky provides heavy crude oil feedstock to its Upgrader and its asphalt refinery, which are located at Lloydminster, Alberta/Saskatchewan. The combined dry crude feedstock requirements of the Upgrader and asphalt refinery are approximately equal to Husky’s heavy crude oil production from the Lloydminster area. Husky also purchases third party volumes. Husky markets heavy crude oil production directly to refiners located in the mid-west and eastern United States and Canada. Husky markets its light and synthetic crude oil production to third-party refiners in Canada, the United States and Asia in addition to Husky’s Lima Refinery. NGL are sold to local petrochemical end users, retail and wholesale distributors and refiners in North America.
Husky markets third-party volumes of crude oil, synthetic crude oil and NGL in addition to its own production. For a discussion of Husky’s distribution methods associated with crude oil and NGL, refer to the Commodity Marketing section of this AIF.

(1) | The number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which Husky owns a working interest. The number of net wells is the sum of the fractional interests owned in the gross wells. Productive wells are those producing or capable of producing at December 31, 2012. |
(2) | Does not include producing wells in which Husky has no working interest but does have a royalty interest. At December 31, 2012, Husky had a royalty interest in 4,333 wells of which 1,458 were oil producers and 2,875 were gas producers. |
(3) | For purposes of the table, multiple completions are counted as a single well. Where one of the completions in a given well is an oil completion, the well is classified as an oil well. In 2012, there were 751 gross and 725 net oil wells and 670 gross and 524 net natural gas wells which were completed in two or more formations and from which production is not commingled. |

Significant Factors or Uncertainties Relevant to Properties with No Attributed Reserves
The Company has a $322 million work commitment associated with its undeveloped land holdings in the Canadian Northwest Territories and Arctic. In total, the Company has $509 million in exploration work commitments to be incurred over the next five years.
Over the next 12 months, approximately 841,139 acres, or less than 5% of the Company’s net undeveloped landholdings in Canada, will be subject to expiry.
Husky holds interests in a diverse portfolio of undeveloped petroleum assets in Western Canada, the Atlantic Region and in several other areas (offshore Greenland, China, Taiwan and Indonesia, the United States and the Canadian Northwest Territories and Arctic). As part of its active portfolio management, Husky continually reviews the economic viability of its undeveloped properties using industry standard economic evaluation techniques and pricing and economic environment assumptions. Each year, as part of this active management process, some properties are selected for further development activities, while others are held in abeyance, sold, swapped or relinquished back to the mineral rights owner. There is no guarantee that commercial reserves will be discovered or developed on these properties.

Oil and Gas Reserves Disclosures
Husky’s oil and gas reserves are estimated in accordance with the standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) and the reserves data disclosed conforms with the requirements of NI 51-101. Husky’s oil and gas reserves are prepared by internal reserves evaluation staff using a formalized process for determining, approving and booking reserves. This process requires all reserves evaluations to be done on a consistent basis using established definitions and guidelines. Approval of individually significant reserves changes requires review by an internal panel of qualified reserves evaluators. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has examined Husky’s procedures for assembling and reporting reserves data and other information associated with oil and gas activities and has reviewed that information with management. The Board of Directors has approved, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the content of Husky’s disclosure of its reserves data and other oil and gas information.
The material differences between reserves quantities disclosed under NI 51-101 and those disclosed under the rules of the SEC and the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “U.S. Rules”) is that NI 51-101 requires the determination of reserves quantities to be based on forecast pricing assumptions whereas the U.S. Rules require the determination of reserves quantities to be based on constant price assumptions calculated using a 12 month average price for the year (sum of the benchmark price on the first calendar day of each month in the year divided by 12). The following oil and gas reserves disclosure has been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 effective December 31, 2012. Husky received approval from the CSA to also disclose its reserves using U.S. Rules as supplementary disclosure to the reserves and oil and gas activities disclosure required by NI 51-101. The reserves information prepared in accordance with the U.S. Rules is included in the Company’s Form 40-F, which is available atwww.sec.gov or on the Company’s website atwww.huskyenergy.com.
Note that the numbers in each column of the tables throughout this section may not add due to rounding.
Audit of Oil and Gas Reserves
McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd., an independent firm of qualified oil and gas reserves evaluation engineers, was engaged to conduct an audit of Husky’s crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves estimates. McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. issued an audit opinion stating that Husky’s internally generated proved and probable reserves and net present values based on forecast and constant price assumptions are, in aggregate, reasonable, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted oil and gas engineering and evaluation practices as set out in the COGEH.
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Information
Unless otherwise noted in this document, all provided reserves estimates have an effective date of December 31, 2012. Gross reserves or gross production are reserves or production attributable to Husky’s interest prior to deduction of royalties; net reserves or net production are reserves or production net of such royalties. Gross or net production reported refers to sales volume, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise noted, production and reserves figures are stated on a gross basis. Unless otherwise indicated, oil and gas commodity prices are quoted after the effect of hedging gains and losses. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Husky completed a transition to IFRS in 2011 and all 2012, 2011 and 2010 financial information has been prepared using IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.

Disclosure of Exemption Under National Instrument 51-101
Husky sought and was granted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) an exemption from the requirement under National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (“NI 51-101”) to involve independent qualified oil and gas reserves evaluators or auditors. Notwithstanding this exemption, the Company involves independent qualified reserves auditors as part of Husky’s corporate governance practices. Their involvement helps assure that the Company’s internal oil and gas reserves estimates are materially correct.
In Husky’s view, the reliability of Husky’s internally generated oil and gas reserves data is not materially less than would be afforded by Husky involving independent qualified reserves evaluators to evaluate and review the reserves data. The primary factors supporting the involvement of independent qualified reserves evaluators apply when (i) their knowledge of, and experience with, a reporting issuer’s reserves data are superior to that of the internal reserves evaluators and (ii) the work of the independent qualified reserves evaluators is significantly less likely to be adversely influenced by self-interest or management of the reporting issuer than the work of internal reserves evaluation staff. In Husky’s view, neither of these factors applies in Husky’s circumstances.

(1) | The Block 29/26 Production Sharing Contract which governs the Liwan off-shore project in China entitles Husky to a share of production in excess of its working interest to recover certain costs that were incurred by the Company on behalf of both Husky and its partner during the exploration phase. These volumetric recoveries are included in net reserves in accordance to the COGEH guidelines and represent 4.15 mmboe of net total proved plus probable reserves. |

Major additions to proved reserves in 2012 include:
• | the initial booking of the Liwan 3-1 deep water project after government approval that resulted in an addition of 51 mmboe of natural gas and NGL in proved undeveloped reserves; |
• | the improved recovery and expansion at some heavy oil thermal projects that resulted in the booking of an additional 13 mmboe in proved reserves; and |
• | the extension through additional drilling locations at liquids-rich Ansell in the Alberta Deep Basin area that resulted in the booking of an additional 27 mmboe of natural gas and NGL in proved reserves. |

Undeveloped Reserves
Undeveloped reserves are attributed internally in accordance with standards and procedures contained in the COGEH. Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Probable undeveloped oil and gas reserves are those reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves and are expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure is required to render them capable of production. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Classifications of reserves as proved or probable are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty associated with the estimates. In addition, whereas proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be economically producible, probable reserves are those reserves that are as likely as not to be recovered. Therefore, probable reserves estimates, by definition, have a higher degree of uncertainty than proved reserves.
Husky funds capital programs by cash generated from operating activities, cash on hand, equity issuances, and short-term and long-term debt. Decisions to develop proved undeveloped and probable undeveloped reserves are based on various factors including economic conditions, technical performance and size of the development program. Approximately 39% of Husky’s gross proved undeveloped reserves are assigned to the Sunrise Energy Project. This project is under development with first production expected in 2014. Approximately 12% of Husky’s gross proved undeveloped reserves are assigned to the natural gas liquids-rich Ansell area. This project has ongoing drilling with the recent acquisition of gas plant capacity. Approximately 11% of Husky’s gross proved undeveloped reserves are assigned to the first booking of the Liwan 3-1 deep water project. This project is under development with first production expected in late 2013/early 2014.
As at December 31, 2012, there were no material proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for greater than five years.

Future Development Costs
Forecast Prices and Costs
The Company expects to fund its future development costs by cash generated from operating activities, cash on hand, and short-term and long-term debt. The Company also has access to available amounts through credit facilities on which it can draw funds and the ability to issue equity through shelf prospectuses, subject to market conditions. The cost associated with this funding would not affect reserves and would not be material in comparison with future net revenues.

Additional Information Concerning Abandonment and Reclamation Costs
The Company estimates the costs associated with abandonment and reclamation costs for surface leases, wells, facilities, and pipelines through its previous experience, where available, or by estimating such costs. With respect to abandonment and reclamation costs for surface leases, wells, facilities, and pipelines, the Company expects to incur these costs on approximately 29,750 net wells for a total undiscounted amount of $5.1 billion. Discounted at 10% per year, the total abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage value, for wells is $1.2 billion. This amount was deducted in estimating the future net revenue. Of the undiscounted portion of the total abandonment and reclamation costs, $187 million is expected to be paid in the next three years.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed an evaluation of activities of the Company’s former Midstream segment as a service provider to the Upstream or Downstream operations. As a result, and consistent with the Company’s strategic view of its integrated business, the previously reported Midstream segment activities are now aligned and reported within the Company’s core exploration and production, Upstream Infrastructure and Marketing, or in its upgrading and refining businesses. The Company believes this change in segment presentation allows management and third parties to more effectively assess the Company’s performance.
The Infrastructure and Marketing business is comprised of the marketing of the Company’s and other producers’ crude oil, natural gas, NGL, sulphur and petroleum coke, pipeline transportation and blending of crude oil and natural gas and storage of crude oil, diluent and natural gas.
Infrastructure
Husky has been involved in the gathering, transporting and storage of heavy crude oil in the Lloydminster area since the early 1960s. Husky’s crude oil pipeline systems include more than 2,000 kilometers of pipeline and are capable of transporting up to 710 mbbls/day of blended heavy crude oil, diluent and synthetic crude oil, assuming the systems are fully powered. The pipeline systems transport blended heavy crude oil to Lloydminster, accessing markets through Husky’s Upgrader and asphalt refinery in Lloydminster. Blended heavy crude oil from the field and synthetic crude oil from the upgrading operations are transported south to Hardisty, Alberta to a connection with the major export trunk pipelines: Enbridge Pipeline multi-line system, Kinder Morgan Express Pipeline, TransCanada’s Keystone Pipeline and the smaller IPF Pipeline. The blended crude oil is transported to eastern and southern markets on these pipelines. Husky’s crude oil pipeline systems also have feeder pipeline interconnections with the IPF Pipeline at Cold Lake, the Echo Pipeline at Hardisty, the Gibsons Hardisty Terminal, the Enbridge Hardisty Caverns and Merchant Terminal, the Enbridge Athabasca Pipeline and the Talisman Chauvin Pipeline.
The following table shows the average daily pipeline throughput for the periods indicated:

Combined Pipeline Throughput | 581 | 559 | 512 |
(1) | Throughput includes the Husky internal and third- party volumes |
In recent years Husky has incurred a number of expansions on its pipeline system and Hardisty terminal facilities to capitalize on anticipated increases in heavy oil production from the Lloydminster and Cold Lake areas and to service the new incremental take-away capacity from the Keystone Pipeline. In May 2012, a new 300,000 barrel tank at the Hardisty terminal was placed in service which facilitates moving crude oil volumes to the U.S. Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (“PADD”) II and PADD III markets.
Husky’s heavy crude oil processing facilities are located throughout the Lloydminster area and are connected to Husky’s pipeline system. These facilities process Husky’s and other producers’ raw heavy crude oil from the field production by removing sand, water and other impurities to produce clean dry heavy crude oil. There are also third-party processing facilities connected to Husky’s pipeline. The heavy crude oil is blended with a diluent to reduce both viscosity and density in order to meet pipeline specifications for transportation.
AIF 2012 | Page 57 |
Table of Contents
In 2010, Husky commenced its pipeline commitment on the Keystone pipeline system which ships Canadian crude oil from Hardisty, Alberta to Patoka, Illinois. This commitment was part of a corporate initiative, agreed upon in 2006, to expand the market for Husky’s crude oil into the midwest United States. This initiative was further supported through the acquisition of the Lima Refinery in 2007, which now enables Husky’s Canadian synthetic crude oil production (along with additional third-party purchases) to be processed at the refinery.
Due to Husky’s ongoing Keystone pipeline commitment, the Lima Refinery now has the option, depending on the economics, to access a significant amount of Canadian crude oil as part of its crude feedstock requirements.
Keystone Pipeline has also enabled Husky to sell heavy crude supply on the Gulf Coast, through interconnecting pipeline systems. This provides the benefits of diversifying Husky’s commodity markets and improving the Company’s Upstream production netback.
The Canadian pipeline system in 2012 was subject to significant apportionment, affecting both Canadian export volumes and the crude prices in Western Canada. Through the reliability of Husky’s proprietary pipeline system, the capability of the Hardisty terminal and Husky’s commitment on the Keystone pipeline, Husky was able to avoid any production shut ins, ensure sufficient storage for any apportioned volumes and access the US market through our committed flow on the Keystone pipeline.

Cogeneration
The Company holds a 50% interest in a 90 MW natural gas fired cogeneration facility adjacent to Husky’s Rainbow Lake processing plant. The cogeneration facility produces electricity for the Power Pool of Alberta and thermal energy (steam) for the Rainbow Lake processing plant. It provides power directly to the Power Pool of Alberta under an agreement with the Alberta Electric System Operator to provide additional electricity generating capacity and system stability for northwestern Alberta. The power plant has the capability of being expanded to approximately 110 MW in total. ATCO Power is the operator of the facility and a hands-on operator of the Rainbow #5 electricity generator. Husky contract-operates the Rainbow #4 electricity generator, the Once-Through Steam Generator and the Water Treatment Plant. All of this equipment constitutes part of the cogeneration facility. Results from this joint venture are included in Upstream Exploration and Production.
Effective January 1, 2011, Husky sold its 50% interest in a 215 MW natural gas fired cogeneration facility at the site of the Lloydminster Upgrader.
Natural Gas Storage Facilities
Husky has been operating a natural gas storage facility at Hussar, Alberta since April 2000. Husky also operates and has a 50% interest in a natural gas storage facility at East Cantuar near Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Husky also contracts additional natural gas storage under long-term arrangements. At December 31, 2012, Husky managed a total natural gas storage capacity of approximately 45.5 bcf. The Company is continuing to evaluate additional storage opportunities within Western Canada. Results from Husky’s natural gas storage business are included in Upstream Infrastructure and Marketing.
Commodity Marketing
Husky is a marketer of both its own and third-party production of crude oil, synthetic crude oil, NGL, natural gas and sulphur. The Company also markets petroleum coke, a by-product from the Lloydminster Upgrader.
AIF 2012 | Page 59 |
Table of Contents
Husky supplies feedstock to its Lloydminster Upgrader and asphalt refinery from its own and third-party heavy oil production sourced from the Lloydminster and Cold Lake areas. The Company also sells blended heavy crude oil directly to refiners based in the United States and Canada. Husky’s extensive infrastructure in the Lloydminster area supports its heavy crude oil refining and marketing operations.
Husky markets light and medium crude oil and NGL sourced from Husky’s own production and third-party production. Light crude oil is acquired for processing by third-party refiners at Edmonton, Alberta and by Husky’s refinery at Prince George, British Columbia. Husky markets the synthetic crude oil produced at its Upgrader in Lloydminster to refiners in Canada and the United States.
Husky markets natural gas sourced from its own production and third-party production. The Company is currently committed to gas sales contracts with third parties, which in aggregate do not exceed amounts forecast to be deliverable from Husky’s reserves. The natural gas sales contracted are primarily at market prices. At December 31, 2012, Husky’s long-term fixed price natural gas sales contracts totaled 26.6 bcf over three years deliverable at the rate of 43% in 2013, 43% in 2014 and 14% in 2015. Husky has acquired rights to firm pipeline capacity to transport the natural gas to most of these contracted markets. The Company manages and trades natural gas in conjunction with Husky owned and operated natural gas storage facilities.
Husky has developed its commodity marketing operations to include the acquisition of third-party volumes in order to increase volumes and enhance the value of its midstream assets. The Company plans to expand its marketing operations by continuing to increase marketing activities. The Company believes that this increase will generate synergies with the marketing of its own production volumes and the optimization of its assets. Results from Husky’s commodity marketing business are included in Upstream Infrastructure and Marketing.

Lima, Ohio Refinery
The Lima Refinery, located in Ohio between Toledo and Dayton, has an atmospheric crude throughput capacity of 160 mbbls per stream day. The refinery currently processes both light sweet crude oil feedstock sourced from the United States and Africa and since 2010, with the commissioning of the Keystone Pipeline system, Canadian synthetic crudes, including Husky Synthetic Blend (“HSB”) produced by the Lloydminster Upgrader. The refinery produces gasoline, gasoline blend stocks, diesel, jet fuel, petrochemical feedstock and other by-products. The feedstock is received via the Mid-Valley and Marathon Pipelines and the refined products are transported via the Buckeye and Inland pipeline systems and by rail car to primary markets in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and southern Michigan.
During 2012, crude oil feedstock throughput at the Lima Refinery averaged 150 mbbls/day. Production of gasoline averaged 77 mbbls/day, total distillates averaged 56 mbbls/day and total butanes averaged 17 mbbls/day.
In 2012, ordering of equipment and site construction commenced on a 20 mbbls/day kerosene hydrotreater which is planned to increase jet fuel production. The kerosene hydrotreater is approximately 80% complete and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2013.
The Lima Refinery is scheduled to complete a major turnaround in 2014 on 70% of its operating units and is expected to be shut down for 45 days during this turnaround. The remaining 30% of operating units are scheduled to be addressed in a major turnaround currently planned for 2015. Husky continues to implement short-term reliability and profitability improvement projects.
BP-Husky Toledo, Ohio Refinery
The BP-Husky Toledo Refinery, in which Husky holds a 50% interest, has an atmospheric crude throughput capacity of 160 mbbls per stream day. Products include low sulphur gasoline, ultra low sulphur diesel, aviation fuels, propane, kerosene and asphalt. The refinery is located in one of the highest energy consumption regions in the United States.
Husky, together with its partner BP, plan to expand the refinery’s bitumen processing capacity to align with the first two 60 mbbls/day phases of the Sunrise Energy Project SAGD development. BP currently markets 100% of the refinery’s output; however, once Sunrise Phase I reaches design production rates, Husky will have the right to market its own share of the refined products.
In 2010, Husky and BP announced the sanction of the Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Reformer Project at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery. This project is expected to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the refinery by reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs with the replacement of two naphtha reformers and one hydrogen plant with a 42,000 bbls/day continuous catalyst regeneration reformer system plant. Project construction formally commenced in August 2010. Mechanical completion was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2012 with startup expected in the first quarter of 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, crude oil feedstock throughput averaged 61 mbbls/day (Husky’s share). Production of gasoline averaged 38 mbbls/day, middle distillates averaged 17 mbbls/day and other fuel and feedstock averaged 9 mbbls/day.
Husky owns and operates the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader, a heavy oil upgrading facility located in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. The Upgrader is designed to process blended heavy crude oil feedstock into high quality, low sulphur synthetic crude oil. Synthetic crude oil is used as refinery feedstock for the production of premium transportation fuels in Canada and the United States. In addition, the Upgrader recovers the diluent, which is blended with the heavy crude oil prior to pipeline transportation to reduce viscosity and facilitate its movement, and returns it to the field to be reused.
AIF 2012 | Page 61 |
Table of Contents
The Upgrader was commissioned in 1992 with an original design capacity of 46 mbbls/day of synthetic crude oil. Current production is considerably higher than the original design rate capacity as a result of throughput modifications and improved reliability. In 2007, the Upgrader commenced production of off-road diesel for locomotive and other uses. The Upgrader’s current rated production capacity is 82 mbbls/day of synthetic crude oil, diluents, low sulphur diesel and ultra low sulphur diesel.
Production at the Upgrader averaged 61 mbbls/day of synthetic crude oil, 13 mbbls/day of diluent and 4 mbbls/day of low sulphur diesel in 2012. In addition, the Upgrader also produced, as by-products of its upgrading operations, approximately 361 lt/day of sulphur and 1,023 lt/day of petroleum coke during 2012. These products are sold in Canadian and international markets.
Husky’s Canadian Refined Products operations include refining of light crude oil, manufacturing of fuel and fuel grade ethanol, manufacturing of asphalt products from heavy crude oil and acquisition by purchase and exchange of refined petroleum products. Husky’s retail distribution network includes the wholesale, commercial and retail marketing of refined petroleum products and provides a platform for non-fuel related convenience product businesses.
Light oil refined products are produced at the Husky refinery at Prince George, British Columbia and are also acquired from third-party refiners and marketed through Husky and Mohawk branded retail and commercial petroleum outlets and through direct marketing to third-party dealers and end users. Asphalt and residual products are produced at Husky’s asphalt refinery at Lloydminster, Alberta and are marketed directly or through Husky’s eight emulsion plants, five of which are also asphalt terminals located throughout Western Canada.
Prince George Refinery
Husky’s light oil refinery in Prince George, British Columbia, meets the refined products marketing needs of Husky and third-party retail outlets in the central and northern regions of the province. Feedstock is delivered to the refinery by pipeline from northeastern British Columbia. Prince George Refinery production is equal to approximately 18% of Husky’s total refined product supply requirements.
The refinery produces all grades of unleaded gasoline, seasonal diesel fuels, mixed propane and butane, and heavy fuel oil. It markets road asphalt, shipped by rail from Husky’s Lloydminster, Alberta, asphalt refinery. In 2012, refinery throughput averaged 11.1 mbbls/day.
The refinery uses two types of desulphurization technologies. For clean gasoline (low sulphur gasoline), the refinery uses Prime G+ hydrodesulphurization technology. For clean diesel (ultra low sulphur diesel), the refinery increased the capacity of its existing unifier and reformer units, and increased the hydrogen supply through installation of a new steam methane reformer.
Lloydminster Asphalt Refinery
Husky’s Lloydminster Asphalt Refinery processes heavy crude oil into asphalt products used in road construction and maintenance and industrial asphalt products. The refinery has a throughput capacity of 29 mbbls/day of heavy crude oil. The refinery also produces straight run gasoline, bulk distillates and residuals. The straight run gasoline stream is removed and re-circulated into the heavy oil pipeline network as pipeline diluent and the distillate stream is used by the Upgrader to make low sulphur diesel. The bulk distillates are hydrogen deficient and are transferred directly to the Upgrader and then treated for blending into the HSB stream. Residuals are a blend of medium and light distillate and gas oil streams, which are sold directly to customers typically as drilling and well fracturing fluids or used in asphalt cutbacks and emulsions.
Refinery throughput averaged 28.3 mbbls/day of blended heavy crude oil feedstock during 2012. In 2012, daily sales volumes of asphalt averaged 15.7 mbbls/day and daily sales volumes of residual and other products averaged 10.5 mbbls/day. Due to the seasonal demand for asphalt products, most Canadian asphalt refineries typically operate at full capacity only during the normal paving season in Canada and the northern United States. Husky has implemented various plans to increase refinery throughput during the other months of the year, such as increasing storage capacity and developing U.S. markets for asphalt products. This is intended to allow Husky to run at or near full capacity year round.

Asphalt Distribution Network
Husky’s Pounder Emulsions division has a significant market share in Western Canada for road application emulsion products. Additional non-asphalt based road maintenance products are also marketed and distributed through Pounder Emulsions. The Company’s sales to the U.S. and eastern Canada accounted for 60% of asphalt sales in 2012. Exported asphalt products are shipped as far as Texas and New York in the U.S. and Quebec, Canada. Husky typically sells in excess of 5.5 mmbbls of asphalt cement each year. All of Husky’s asphalt requirements are supplied by Husky’s asphalt refinery.
Husky’s asphalt distribution network consists of emulsion plants and asphalt terminals located at Kamloops, British Columbia, Edmonton and Lethbridge, Alberta, Yorkton, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg, Manitoba and three emulsion plants located at Watson Lake, Yukon and Lloydminster and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Husky also terminals asphalt at its Prince George Refinery and uses an independently operated terminal at Langley, British Columbia. In 2012, the sales volume of asphalt products was 26.2 mbbls/day.
In 2013, Husky plans to direct its efforts to increasing terminal capacity at the Yorkton and Edmonton facilities, develop retail capacity in U.S. markets, expand sales of road stabilization, preservation and recycling products, increase sales of drilling and completion products, implement safety and reliability improvements and develop new products, markets and specifications.
Ethanol Plants
In September 2006, Husky commissioned an ethanol plant in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. This plant has an annual nameplate capacity of 130 million litres. In December 2007, the Minnedosa, Manitoba ethanol plant was commissioned also with an annual nameplate capacity of 130 million litres; the plant is operating above that capacity. In 2012, ethanol production averaged 721,200 litres/day.
Husky’s ethanol production supports its ethanol-blended gasoline marketing program. When added to gasoline, ethanol promotes more complete fuel combustion, prevents fuel line freezing and reduces carbon monoxide emissions, ozone precursors and net emissions of greenhouse gases. Environment Canada has designated ethanol blended gasoline as an “Environmental Choice” product. Husky sells a large portion of its production to other major oil companies for their ethanol blending requirements in Western Canada.
During 2012, the Lloydminster plant commissioned a CO2 capture facility. The plant is currently capturing CO2 for use in Husky’s heavy oil reservoir enhancement project.
Husky continued to position its refined products business segment as the leader in ethanol blended fuels in Western Canada.
Other Supply Arrangements
In addition to the refined petroleum products supplied by the Prince George Refinery of 2.7 mbbls/day and by the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader of 3.9 mbbls/day, Husky has rack-based pricing purchase agreements for refined products with all major Canadian refiners. During 2012, Husky purchased approximately 40.0 mbbls/day of refined petroleum products from refiners and acquired approximately 8.7 mbbls/day of refined petroleum products pursuant to exchange agreements with third-party refiners.
Branded Petroleum Product Outlets and Commercial Distribution
As of December 31, 2012, there were 512 independently operated Husky and Mohawk branded petroleum product outlets. These petroleum product outlets include travel centres, convenience stores, cardlock operations and bulk distribution facilities located from the Ontario/Quebec border to the West Coast. The travel centre network is strategically located on major highways and serves the retail market and commercial transporters with quality products and full-service Husky House restaurants. At most locations, the travel centre network also features the proprietary “Route Commander” cardlock system that enables commercial users to purchase products using a card system that electronically processes transactions and provides detailed billing, sales tax and other information. A variety of full and self-serve retail locations under the Husky and Mohawk brand names serve urban and rural markets, while Husky and Mohawk bulk distributors offer direct sales to commercial and farm markets in Western Canada.

The operations of the oil and gas industry are governed by a considerable number of laws and regulations mandated by multiple levels of government and regulatory authorities in Canada, the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions. These laws and regulations, along with global economic conditions, have shaped the developing trends of the industry. The following discussion summarizes the trends, legislation and regulations that have the most significant impact on the short and long-term operations of the oil and gas industry.
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production
Production from oil sands projects is expected to continue to accelerate as the dominant source of crude oil product in the decades to come. Production of bitumen from both mining and in-situ operations is forecast to increase by 15% in 2013 compared with 2012. Of the remaining established crude oil and bitumen reserves in Alberta, 135 billion barrels or 80% is considered recoverable by in-situ methods and 34 billion barrels is suited to surface mining. The majority of in-situ production is not upgraded prior to reaching markets.1
In its June 2012 forecast, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (“CAPP”) projected total Canadian production to increase by approximately 94% to 6.2 mmbbls/day by 2030, of which 5.0 mmbbls/day would be from oil sands. Production above 2.5 mmbbls/day would be sourced from new oil sands projects that were not under construction at the forecast date. In addition, conventional crude oil production has reversed its long-standing declining trend. Production is ramping up based on the successful application of horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing techniques to tight oil reservoirs. Current estimate of the ultimate potential reserves recoverable may still be conservative as these technologies are in their early stages. As a result, conventional production is forecast to decline again after 2016.2
Natural gas production is forecast to increase by 1% in 2013 compared with 2012. Natural gas production in Canada has declined 15% since 2008 while production in the U.S. increased by an estimated 18% during the same period. Consumption of natural gas in the U.S. has increased by 9.4% in the same period. Ample natural gas supply and high storage levels have resulted in continued low prices. Although the natural gas rig count has declined, natural gas markets are expected to remain well supplied in the near-term as a backlog of shale gas wells near markets in the U.S. Gulf Coast, mid-continent and eastern states continue to be completed and tied-in. As a result, investment in Canadian natural gas exploration and development is expected to be focused on tight and shale resource plays that utilize new technology and are in NGL prone areas.3
The Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) Short-Term Energy Outlook was published on February 13, 2013 and provides insights to the near-term energy environment. World energy demand is expected to continue to increase in 2013 and 2014, mostly in countries outside of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). World liquid fuels consumption grew by 1.4% to reach 89.2 mmbbls/day in 2012 and is expected to grow by on average of 1.4% per year in 2013 and 2014. OPEC’s surplus capacity is expected to rise from 2.7 mmbbls/day in January 2013 to an average of 2.9 mmbbls/day for 2013 and 3.4 mmbbls/day for 2014.2
Commodity Pricing
Crude oil and natural gas producers are entitled to negotiate purchase and sale contracts directly with respective buyers and these contracts are typically based on the prevailing market price of the commodity. The market price for crude oil is determined largely by global factors and the contract price considers oil quality, transportation and other terms of the agreement. The price for natural gas is determined primarily by North America fundamentals because virtually all natural gas production in North America is consumed by North American customers, predominantly in the U.S. Commodity prices are based on supply and demand which may fluctuate due to market uncertainty and other factors beyond the control of entities operating in the industry.
The trend of volatile commodity prices is expected to continue. The EIA projects that the spot price of Brent, an imported light sweet benchmark crude oil produced in the North Sea, will fall from an average of U.S. $112/bbl in 2012 to annual averages of U.S. $109/bbl and U.S. $101/bbl in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

decrease reflects the increasing supply of liquid fuels from non-OPEC countries. Averaging U.S. $94/bbl in 2012, the projected West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) price is U.S. $93/bbl in 2013 and U.S. $92/bbl in 2014. WTI futures for May 2013 delivery during the five-day period ending February 7, 2013 averaged U.S. $97.55/bbl.4
Market Access
Transportation and market access in North America for crude oil emerged as a major issue in 2012, contributing to regional price volatility. Western Canada’s crude has very limited access to world markets. Higher than expected production from Alberta and Saskatchewan conventional oil developments, the growth of Bakken production in North Dakota, and new U.S. shale oil production have added to the challenges the Canadian industry is facing in accessing markets.
Crude oil with access to waterborne transportation receives a higher Brent based price due to its increased mobility compared to onshore North American crude which is valued based on WTI. Most western Canadian onshore crude is transported to Cushing, Oklahoma where the price for WTI is set. As a result of limited capacity to transport crude oil from Cushing to the Gulf Coast refining centres and from an increase of onshore production from emerging resource plays like the North Dakota Bakken and Canadian oil sands, the price differential between Brent crude and WTI crude averaged U.S. $18/bbl in 2012.
In addition to the price differential between Brent crude and WTI crude and pipeline constraints, the increased supply in the U.S. has resulted in volatility in Canadian crude prices. In 2012, Western Canadian Synthetic crude oil prices traded at a discount to WTI averaging U.S. $2/bbl compared to a premium averaging U.S. $7/bbl in 2011.
Current pipeline capacity exiting western Canada totals 3.5 mmbbls/day, 300 mbbls/day of which runs to the west coast. A number of pipeline proposals have been announced that would increase market access between 2014 and 2017. The proposed pipeline projects are the Keystone XL to the U.S. Gulf Coast, the Alberta Clipper expansion to Superior, Wisconsin, and the Trans Mountain Expansion and Enbridge Northern Gateway to the west coast. The proposed pipelines, if completed, would add approximately 2 mmbbls/day of pipeline capacity. However, considerable uncertainty exists around when and if each of these will be in service.1
Royalties, Incentives and Income Taxes
Canada
The amount of royalties payable on production from privately owned lands is negotiated between the mineral freehold owner and the lessee and this production may also be subject to certain provincial taxes and royalties. Royalty rates for production from Crown lands are determined by provincial governments. When setting royalty rates, commodity prices, levels of production and operating and capital costs are considered. Royalties payable are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of gross production and generally depend on prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date, method of recovery, depth of well, and the type or quality of the petroleum product produced. Other royalties and royalty-like interests are, from time-to-time, carved out of the owner’s working interest through non-public transactions. These are often referred to as overriding royalties, gross overriding royalties, net profits interests or net carried interests.
Royalty rates pertaining to Husky operations in Western Canada averaged 10% in 2012 compared with 14% in 2011 due to lower natural gas prices and royalty credit adjustments. In the Company’s Atlantic Region, the average royalty rate was 11% in 2012 compared with 17% in 2011 due to higher eligible costs associated with the SeaRose offstation and lower Terra Nova production which is subject to higher royalty rates.
The Canadian federal corporate income tax rate was 15% in 2012, a decrease from 16.5% in 2011 and 18% in 2010. Provincial rates ranged between 10 and 14% in 2012.
Other Jurisdictions
Royalty rates in the Company’s Asia Pacific Region averaged 24% in 2012 compared with 30% in 2011 mainly due to reductions in windfall profit taxes that became effective in November of 2011.

Operations in the U.S are subject to the U.S. federal tax rate of 34% and various state-level taxes. Operations in China are subject to the Chinese tax rate of 25%. Operations in Indonesia are subject to tax at a rate of 40% as governed by each project’s PSC.
The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 29% for both 2012 and 2011. Royalty rates averaged 11% of gross revenue in 2012 compared with 16% in 2011.
Land Tenure Regulation
In Canada, rights to natural resources are largely owned by the provincial and federal governments. Rights are granted to explore for and produce oil and natural gas subject to shared jurisdiction agreements, ELs, significant discovery and production licenses, leases, permits, and provincial legislation which may include contingencies such as obligations to perform work or make payments.
For international jurisdictions, rights to natural resources are largely owned by national governments that grant rights in forms such as ELs and permits, production licenses, and production sharing agreements. Companies in the oil and gas industry are subject to ongoing compliance with the regulatory requirements established by the relevant country for the right to explore, develop and produce petroleum and natural gas in that particular jurisdiction.
Environmental Regulations
All phases of the oil and natural gas business are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of federal, provincial, state and local laws and regulations, as well as international conventions (collectively, “environmental legislation”).
Environmental legislation imposes, among other things, restrictions, liabilities, and obligations in connection with the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste and in connection with spills, releases and emissions of various substances to the environment. Environmental legislation also requires that wells, facilities and other properties associated with Husky’s operations be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. In addition, certain types of operations, including exploration and development projects and significant changes to certain existing projects, may require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments.
The scope of recent environmental regulation and initiatives has had an impact on many areas important to industry operations which include but are not limited to, climate change, pipeline integrity, reclamation, hydraulic fracturing and land use.
Climate Change
International Climate Change Regulations
A significant breakthrough resulting from the 15th Conference of the Parties held in 2009 was the Copenhagen Accord, which endorsed the need to reduce global emissions. The Accord includes commitments from all the major emitters including the U.S., China, India, and Brazil, and provides for international review of both developed and developing countries’ targets and actions. In 2010, Canada committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, which is aligned with the U.S. target.
Canadian Federal Greenhouse Gas Regulations
The Canadian federal government has began addressing emissions of specific sectors of the economy, including working closely with the U.S. government to establish common North American vehicle emissions standards, as well as performance standards for thermal electricity generation. Also in line with the U.S., Canada has adopted renewable fuels regulations, requiring fuel producers and importers to have at least 5% of their gasoline supply come from renewable sources such as ethanol and at least 2% of their diesel supply from bio-diesel.
AIF 2012 | Page 67 |

Canadian Provincial Greenhouse Gas Regulations
In the absence of a federal policy, Ontario, British Columbia (“B.C.”) and Québec have committed to moving forward with a cap-and-trade system designed under the Western Climate Initiative (“WCI”). The WCI initiative was designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the regional level from 15% below 2005 levels by 2020. The reduction would be a result of capping emissions on large industrial facilities within these provinces.
U.S. Greenhouse Gas Regulations
The U.S. also does not have a federal policy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has begun implementing greenhouse gas regulations. In particular, the so-called ‘Tailoring Rule’ now requires sources emitting greater than 100,000 tons per year of greenhouse gas to obtain a permit for those emissions, even if they are not otherwise required to obtain a new or modified permit. The Tailoring Rule may also require the installation and operation of pollution control technology as a part of any project that results in a significant greenhouse gas emissions increase. The EPA has promulgated regulations requiring greenhouse gas emissions reporting from certain U.S. operations. The EPA also issued greenhouse gas emission guidelines for existing refineries and new source performance standards for new refineries and modifications to existing refineries. Although proposed rules have not been issued, they are expected by 2013. These and other EPA regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions are subject to legislative and judicial challenges, including current congressional proposals to block or delay the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Pipeline Integrity
Recent high-profile oil spill events have led to a review by industry regulators. In 2012, the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (“ERCB”) hired Group 10, a third-party consultant, to review the industry’s pipeline integrity, spill response and emergency response. Husky participated in the interview process and the final report is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2013.
The British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission is conducting a review of all pipeline segments and the B.C. Ministry of Environment has recently issued a land based spill preparedness and response policy intentions paper for comment on the Government of B.C. website.
The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (“CEPA”) announced CEPA Integrity First, an industry-wide initiative to improve pipeline safety and environmental and social performance. The program is based on sharing best practices and applying advanced technology, and highlights pipeline incident prevention, emergency response, reclamation and education. The prevention section focuses on programs and processes related to pipeline integrity, the emergency response section concentrates on programs CEPA members have in place, the reclamation section addresses the quality of post-incident activities, and the education section provides additional information about pipelines in Canada. CEPA is taking the lead with CAPP, providing support and context around pipelines owned and operated by producing companies, as well as emphasis on the importance of reliable and safe energy infrastructure to the oil and gas industry and all Albertans.
Reclamation
The ERCB maintains the regulatory process for the abandonment of a well. Over the years, the ERCB has made several adjustments to ensure effective well abandonment in Alberta. These adjustments include the introduction of new directives and additions to current regulations. In 1991, the ERCB first introduced Directive 020:Well Abandonment, which sets strict requirements for environmental protection and public safety in areas around abandoned wells. In June 2010, the requirements for abandoned wells were enhanced. These enhancements included required notification to the ERCB prior to any abandonment operation, additional abandonment criteria for critical sour wells, and a specialized cap on vented wells to prevent gas pressure build up in the well.
In 2012, the Alberta Department of Energy and the ERCB identified a large number of historically abandoned wellbores within urban areas and on residential properties. Amendments to Alberta Municipal Affairs subdivision regulations are forthcoming to ensure that all future developments will a have a five-meter setback, future wells to be abandoned must be identified and the location confirmed by the developer, and the integrity must be verified by the licensee prior to development approval.
AIF 2012 | Page 68 |
Table of Contents
Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing is a method of increasing well production by injecting fluid under high pressure down a well, which causes the surrounding rock to crack or fracture. The fluid typically consists of water, sand, chemicals and other additives and flows into the cracks where the sand remains to keep the cracks open and allow natural gas or liquids to be recovered. Fracturing fluids are produced back to the surface through the wellbore and are stored for reuse or future disposal in accordance with regional regulations, which may include injection into underground wells. The design of the well bores protects groundwater aquifers from the fracturing process.
The Government of Canada manages use of chemicals through its Chemical Management Plan and New Substances Program. Some provinces require the details of fracturing fluids to be submitted to regulators. In Alberta, the ERCB requires that all fracturing operations submit reports regarding the quantity of fluids and additives. In the U.S., the process is regulated by state and local governments. However, the EPA is considering undertaking a broad study as it pertains to the national Clean Water Act which may or may not result in future federal regulations.
Land Use
In 2012, the Government of Alberta approved the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (“LARP”), which covers the lower Athabasca region and includes Husky’s oil sands assets and major projects. The LARP was developed to manage cumulative effects within the region using three formal management frameworks; Air Quality, Surface Water Quality and Groundwater Quality. The use of each framework establishes approaches to ensure trends are identified and assessed, regional limits are not exceeded and that air and water remain healthy for the region’s residents and ecosystems during oil sands development.
Industry Collaboration Initiatives
Husky is working with industry on several regulatory initiatives, most recently on increasing transparency around hydraulic fracturing procedures.
In early 2012, Husky joined the International Petroleum Industry Environmental, Conservation Association (“IPIECA”), the global oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues and is participating in its Water Task Force. Husky also participates in industry reporting through CAPP; the Company’s water use numbers are included in the CAPP Responsible Canadian Energy Reporting. As a member of several CAPP Water Groups and Committees, Husky is committed to adhering to the Guiding Principles for Hydraulic Fracturing and Hydraulic Fracturing Operating Practices for shale and tight gas development.
Husky pursues memberships in sustainability focused groups including Oil Spill Response (OSRL), China Offshore Oil Operation Safety Office (COOSO), IPEICA, Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA), Parkland Air Management Zone (PAMZ), Calgary Regional Airshed Zone (CRAZ), Lakeland Industry and Community Association (LICA), Southeast Saskatchewan Airshed Association (SESAA), Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program (RAMP). Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), Carbon Disclosure Project, Integrated CO2 Network (ICO2N), Orphan Well Association, Cumulative Effects Management Association (CEMA), Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA), Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESAA), North Saskatchewan, Watershed Alliance, Beaver River Watershed Alliance, Clearwater Mutual Aid CO-OP, Western Canadian Spill Services, One Ocean, Eastern Canada Response Corporation (ECRC), Ottawa River Coalition (ORC), Ohio Chemistry Trade Council (OCTC) and the Environmental Citizens Action Committee.
Husky’s Sustainability Commitment
Husky’s sustainability is a key pillar of the financial well being of the Company. At the end of 2010, the Company presented its business strategy and set out a five-year plan with clearly defined financial goals and performance targets. Almost two years into that plan, the Company is meeting or exceeding its key performance indicators. While sustainability begins with a strong financial foundation, success is directly linked to how the Company conducts its business, whether it is by improving safety, enhancing environmental performance through innovative ways to protect the environment, or in delivering lasting benefits to the communities. For further information, please see the Company’s 2012 Sustainability Report atwww.huskyenergy.com.

The following provides a list of the most significant risks relating to Husky and its operations that should be considered when purchasing securities of Husky. Husky has developed an enterprise risk matrix to identify risks to its people, the environment, its assets and its reputation, and to systematically mitigate these risks to an acceptable level.
Operational, Environmental and Safety Incidents
Husky’s businesses are subject to inherent operational risks and hazards in respect of safety and the environment that require continuous vigilance. The Company seeks to minimize these operational risks and hazards by carefully designing and building its facilities and conducting its operations in a safe and reliable manner. However, failure to manage these operational risks and hazards effectively could result in unexpected incidents, including the release of restricted substances, fires, explosions, well blow-outs, marine catastrophe or mechanical failures and pipeline failures. The consequences of such events include personal injuries, loss of life, environmental damage, property damage, loss of revenues, fines, penalties, legal liabilities, disruption to operations, asset repair costs, remediation and reclamation costs, monitoring post-cleanup and/or reputational impacts which may affect the Company’s license to operate. Remediation may be complicated by a number of factors including shortages of specialized equipment or personnel, extreme operating environments and the absence of appropriate or proven countermeasures to effectively remedy such consequences. Emergency preparedness, business continuity and security policies and programs are in place for all operating areas, and are routinely exercised. The Company, in accordance with industry practice, maintains insurance coverage against losses from certain of these risks and hazards. Nonetheless, insurance proceeds may not be sufficient to cover all losses, and insurance coverage may not be available for all types of operational risks and hazards.
Commodity Price Volatility
Husky’s results of operations and financial condition are dependent on the prices received for its crude oil and natural gas production. Lower prices for crude oil and natural gas could adversely affect the value and quantity of Husky’s oil and gas reserves. Husky’s reserves include significant quantities of heavier grades of crude oil that trade at a discount to light crude oil. Heavier grades of crude oil are typically more expensive to produce, process, transport and refine into high value refined products. Refining and transportation capacity for heavy crude oil is limited and planned increases of North American heavy crude oil production may create the need for additional heavy oil refining and transportation capacity. As a result, wider price differentials could have adverse effects on Husky’s financial performance and condition, reduce the value and quantities of Husky’s heavier crude oil reserves and delay or cancel projects that involve the development of heavier crude oil resources. There is no guarantee that planned pipeline development projects will provide sufficient transportation capacity and access to refining capacity to accommodate expected increases in North American heavy crude oil production.
Prices for crude oil are based on world supply and demand. Supply and demand can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, actions taken by OPEC, non-OPEC crude oil supply, social conditions in oil producing countries, the occurrence of natural disasters, general and specific economic conditions, prevailing weather patterns and the availability of alternate sources of energy.
Husky’s natural gas production is currently located entirely in Western Canada and is, therefore, subject to North American market forces. North American natural gas supply and demand is affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of natural gas available to specific market areas either from the well head or from storage facilities, prevailing weather patterns, the price of crude oil, the U.S. and Canadian economies, the occurrence of natural disasters and pipeline restrictions.
In certain instances, the Company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage exposure to price volatility on a portion of its oil and gas production and firm commitments for the purchase or sale of crude oil and natural gas.
The fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices are beyond Husky’s control and accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flow. For information on 2012 commodity price sensitivities, refer to Section 3.0 of the 2012 Annual MD&A.

Reservoir Performance Risk
Lower than projected reservoir performance on the Company’s key growth projects could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, medium to long-term business strategy and cash flow. Inaccurate appraisal of large project reservoirs could result in missed production, revenue and earnings targets and negatively affect the Company’s reputation, investor confidence and the Company’s ability to deliver on its growth strategy.
In order to maintain the Company’s future production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and maintain the value of the reserves portfolio, additional reserves must be added through discoveries, extensions, improved recovery, performance related revisions and acquisitions. The production rate of oil and gas properties tends to decline as reserves are depleted while the associated unit operating costs increase. In order to mitigate the effects of this, the Company must undertake successful exploration and development programs, increase the recovery factor from existing properties through applied technology, and identify and execute strategic acquisitions of proved developed and undeveloped properties and unproved prospects. Maintaining an inventory of developable projects depends on, among other things, obtaining and renewing rights to explore, develop and produce oil and natural gas, drilling success, completing long-lead time capital intensive projects on budget and on schedule and the application of successful exploitation techniques on mature properties.
Restricted Market Access
Husky’s results depend upon the Company’s ability to deliver products to the most attractive markets. The Company’s results could be impacted by restricted market access resulting from a lack of pipeline or other transportation alternatives to attractive markets as well as regulatory and/or other marketplace barriers. With growing conventional and oil sands production across North America and limited availability of infrastructure to carry the Company’s products to the marketplace, oil and natural gas transportation capacity is expected to be restricted in the next few years. Restricted market access may potentially have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, medium to long-term business strategy, cash flow and corporate reputation.
Security and Terrorist Threats
A security threat or terrorist attack on a facility owned or operated by the Company could result in the interruption or cessation of key elements of its operations, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, business strategy and cash flow.
International Operations
International operations can expose the Company to uncertain political, economic and other risks. The Company’s operations in certain jurisdictions may be adversely affected by political, economic or social instability or events. These events may include, but are not limited to, onerous fiscal policy, renegotiation or nullification of agreements, imposition of onerous regulation, changes in laws governing existing operations, financial constraints, including currency and exchange rate fluctuations, and unreasonable taxation. This could adversely affect the Company’s interest in its foreign operations and future profitability.
Gas Offtake
The potential inability to deliver an effective gas storage solution as inventories grow over the life of the White Rose field may potentially result in prolonged shutdown of these operations, which may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, medium to long-term business strategy and cash flow.
Skills and Human Resource Shortage
The Company recognizes that a robust, productive, and healthy workforce drives efficiency, effectiveness, and financial performance. Attracting and retaining qualified and skilled labour is critical to the successful execution of Husky’s current and future business strategies. However, a tight labour market, an insufficient number of qualified candidates, and an aging workforce are factors that precipitate a human resource risk for the Company. Failure to retain current employees and attract new skilled employees could materially affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

Major Project Execution
The Company manages a variety of major projects relating to oil and gas exploration, development and production. Risks associated with the execution of Husky’s major projects, as well as the commissioning and integration of new assets into its existing infrastructure, may result in cost overruns, project or production delays, and missed financial targets, thereby eroding project economics. Typical project execution risks include: the availability and cost of capital, inability to find mutually agreeable parameters with key project partners for large growth projects, availability of manufacturing and processing capacity, faulty construction and design errors, labour disruptions, bankruptcies, productivity issues affecting Husky directly or indirectly, unexpected changes in the scope of a project, health and safety incidents, need for government approvals or permits, unexpected cost increases, availability of qualified and skilled labour, availability of critical equipment, severe weather, and availability and proximity of pipeline capacity.
Partner Misalignment
Joint venture partners operate a portion of Husky’s assets in which the Company has an ownership interest. Husky is at times dependent upon its partners for the successful execution of various projects. If a dispute with partners were to occur over the development and operation of a project or if partners were unable to fund their contractual share of the capital expenditures, a Husky project may be delayed and the Company may be partially or totally liable for its partner’s share of the project.
Reserves Data, Future Net Revenue and Resource Estimates
The reserves data in this AIF represent estimates only. The accurate assessment of oil and gas reserves is critical to the continuous and effective management of the Company’s Upstream assets. Reserves estimates support various investment decisions about the development and management of resource plays. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and gas reserves and the future net cash flow therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as product prices, future operating and capital costs, historical production from the properties, and the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies, including with respect to royalty payments, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are to some degree uncertain and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable oil and gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues expected therefrom, prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times, may vary substantially. All reserves estimates involve a degree of ambiguity and, at times, rely on indirect measurement techniques to estimate the size and recoverability of the resource. While new technologies have increased the accuracy and efficacy of these techniques, there remains the potential for human or systemic error in recording and reporting the magnitude of the Company’s oil and gas reserves. Inaccurate appraisal of large project reservoirs could result in missed production, revenue and earnings targets, and could negatively affect the Company’s reputation, investor confidence, and the Company’s ability to deliver on its growth strategy.
Government Regulation
Given the scope and complexity of Husky’s operations, the Company may be subject to regulation and intervention by governments at the federal, provincial, state and municipal levels in the countries in which it conducts its operations or exploratory activities. As these governments continually balance competing demands from different interest groups and stakeholders, the Company recognizes that the magnitude of regulatory risks has the potential to change over time. Changes in government policy, legislation or regulation could impact the Company’s existing and planned projects as well as impose costs of compliance, increase capital expenditures and operating expenses, and expose the Company to other risks including environmental and safety risks. Examples of the Company’s regulatory risks include, but are not limited to, uncertain or negative interactions with governments, uncertain energy policies, environmental and safety controls related to the reduction of greenhouse gasses and other emissions, penalties, taxes, royalties, government fees, reserves access, limitations or increase in costs relating to the exportation of commodities, restrictions on the acquisition of exploration and production rights and land tenure, expropriation or cancellation of contract rights, limitations on control over the development and abandonment of fields, and loss of licenses to operate.
AIF 2012 | Page 72 |
Table of Contents
Environmental Regulation
Husky anticipates that changes in environmental legislation may require reductions in emissions from its operations and result in increased capital expenditures. Further changes in environmental legislation could occur, which may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liabilities, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on Husky’s financial condition and results of operations.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has led to numerous public and governmental expressions of concern about the safety and potential environmental impact of offshore oil and gas operations. Stricter regulation of offshore oil and gas operations has already been implemented by the U.S. with respect to operations in the Outer Continental Shelf, including in the Gulf of Mexico. Further regulation, increased financial assurance requirements and increased caps on liability are likely to be applied to offshore oil and gas operations in these areas. In the event that similar changes in environmental regulation occur with respect to Husky’s operations in the Atlantic or Asia Pacific Regions, such changes could increase the cost of complying with environmental regulation in connection with these operations and have a material adverse impact on Husky’s operations.
Climate Change Regulation
Husky continues to monitor international efforts to address climate change, including developments on the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord. Canada has withdrawn from participation in the Kyoto Protocol. The effect of these initiatives on the Company’s operations cannot be determined with any certainty at this time. The Alberta and BC governments have regulations in place with the Saskatchewan government anticipated to soon follow with similar regulation. These regulations include limiting the intensity limits for large emitters of greenhouse gases in Alberta emitting 100,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse gas in any year. Under the regulations, 12-15% intensity reduction will be applied to the average of that facility’s 2003-2005 baseline emissions intensity for established facilities. New facilities are required to reduce emissions starting with the fourth year of commercial operation by 2%, and then by 2% every year after, until the 12-15% reduction target has been achieved. These regulations impact all of Husky’s Upstream operations in B.C., the Prince George Refinery, the Ram River gas plant and the Tucker thermal oil facility. In addition, the Federal Government of Canada has announced pending regulations in respect of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Although the impact of these regulations is uncertain, they may adversely affect the Company’s operations and increase costs. These regulations may become more onerous over time as public and political pressures increase to implement initiatives that further reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
While the U.S. EPA regulations are currently in effect, they have not yet had a material impact on Husky. However, the Company’s operations may be materially impacted by future application of these rules or by future U.S. greenhouse gas legislation applying to the oil and gas industry or the consumption of petroleum products or by these or any further restrictive regulations issued by the EPA. Such legislation or regulation could require Husky’s U.S. refining operations to significantly reduce emissions and/or purchase allowances, which may increase capital and operating expenditures.
Financial Risks
Husky’s financial risks are largely related to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. From time to time, Husky uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to these risks. These derivative financial instruments are not intended for trading or speculative purposes. For further details on the Company’s derivative financial instruments, including assumptions made in the calculation of fair value and additional discussion of exposure to risks and mitigation activities see Note 22 Financial Instrument and Risk Management within the Company’s 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and Section 7.0 of the Company’s 2012 Annual MD&A, which are incorporated herein by reference. For a discussion on commodity price risk, refer to the Commodity Price Volatility section above.
Foreign Currency Risk
Husky’s results are affected by the exchange rates between various currencies including the Canadian and U.S. dollar. The majority of Husky’s expenditures are in Canadian dollars while the majority of the Company’s revenues are received in U.S. dollars from the sale of oil and gas commodities that receive prices determined by reference to U.S. benchmark prices. An increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will decrease the
AIF 2012 | Page 73 |
Table of Contents
revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. Correspondingly, a decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. In addition, a change in the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will result in an increase or decrease in Husky’s U.S. dollar denominated debt and related interest expense, as expressed in Canadian dollars. The fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond Husky’s control and accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flow.
The Company enters into short-dated foreign exchange contracts to fix the exchange rate for conversion of U.S. revenue dollars to hedge against these potential fluctuations. Husky also designates a portion of its U.S debt as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in the U.S. refining operations which are considered as a foreign functional currency. At December 31, 2012, the amount that the Company designated was U.S. $2.8 billion (December 31, 2011 – U.S. $1.3 billion).
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings, cash flows and valuations. In order to manage interest rate risk and the resulting interest expense, Husky mitigates some of its exposure to interest rate changes by maintaining a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt through the use of its credit facilities and various financial instruments. The optimal mix maintained will depend on market conditions. Husky may also enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as an additional means of managing current and future interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the financial loss that the Company would suffer if the Company’s counterparties in a transaction fail to meet or discharge their obligation to the Company. Husky actively manages this exposure to credit and contract execution risk from both a customer and a supplier perspective. Internal credit policies govern Husky’s credit portfolio and limit transactions according to a counterparty’s and a supplier’s credit quality. Counterparties for all financial derivatives transacted by Husky are major financial institutions or counterparties with investment grade credit ratings.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The Company’s process for managing liquidity risk includes ensuring, to the extent possible, that it has access to multiple sources of capital including: cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, undrawn credit facilities, and the availability to raise capital from various debt capital markets, including under its shelf prospectuses. The availability of capital under its shelf prospectuses is dependent on market conditions.
Competition
The energy industry is highly competitive with respect to gaining access to the resources required to increase oil and gas reserves and production and gain access to markets. Husky competes with others to acquire prospective lands, retain drilling capacity and field operating and construction services, obtain sufficient pipeline and other transportation capacity, gain access to and retain adequate markets for its products and services, and gain access to capital markets. Husky’s ability to successfully complete development projects could be adversely affected if it is unable to acquire economic supplies and services due to competition. Subsequent increases in the cost of or delays in acquiring supplies and services could result in uneconomic projects. Husky’s competitors comprise all types of energy companies, some of which have greater resources.
Internal Credit Risk
Credit ratings affect Husky’s ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of Husky to engage in ordinary course derivative or hedging transactions and maintain ordinary course contracts with customers and suppliers on acceptable terms depends on Husky’s credit ratings. A reduction in the current rating on Husky’s debt by one or more of its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment grade ratings, or a negative change in Husky’s ratings outlook could adversely affect Husky’s cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of any issuer of securities. The credit ratings accorded to Husky’s securities by
AIF 2012 | Page 74 |
Table of Contents
the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the securities inasmuch as such ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. Any rating may not remain in effect for any given period of time or may be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if in its judgment circumstances so warrant.
General Economic Conditions
General economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. A decline in economic activity will reduce demand for petroleum products and adversely affect the price the Company receives for its commodities. The Company’s cash flow could decline, assets could be impaired, future access to capital could be restricted and major development projects could be delayed or abandoned.
Cost or Availability of Oil and Gas Field Equipment
The cost or availability of oil and gas field equipment adversely affects the Company’s ability to undertake exploration, development and construction projects. The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and is prone to shortages of supply of equipment and services including land and offshore drilling rigs, land and offshore geological and geophysical services, engineering and construction services and construction materials. These materials and services may not be available when required at reasonable prices.
Climatic Conditions
Extreme climatic conditions may have significant adverse effects on operations. The predictability of the demand for energy is affected to a large degree by the predictability of weather and climate. In addition, the Company’s exploration, production and construction operations or disruptions to the operations of major customers or suppliers can be affected by extreme weather, which may result in cessation or diminishment of production, delay of exploration and development activities or delay of plant construction. All of these could potentially cause financial losses.

Dividend Policy and Restrictions
The Board of Directors has established a dividend policy that pays quarterly dividends of $0.30 ($1.20 annually) per common share. The declaration and payment of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors, which will consider earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of Husky, the satisfaction of the applicable solvency test in Husky’s governing corporate statute, theBusiness Corporations Act(Alberta), and other relevant factors.
In February 2011, Husky’s shareholders approved amendments to the common share terms to provide the shareholders with the ability to receive dividends in common shares or in cash. Quarterly dividends may be declared in an amount expressed in dollars per common share and paid by way of issuance of a fraction of a common share per outstanding common share determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are traded. The volume weighted average trading price of the common shares is calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of common shares traded over the five trading day period immediately prior to the payment date of the dividend on the common shares.
Husky’s dividend policy will continue to be reviewed and there can be no assurance that further dividends will be declared or the amount of any future dividend.
Series 1 Preferred Share Dividends
Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative quarterly fixed dividend, payable on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, yielding 4.45% annually for the initial period ending March 31, 2016, as and when declared by the Board of Directors. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be reset every five years at a rate equal to the 5-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 1.73%. Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will have the right, at their option, to convert their shares into Series 2 Preferred Shares, subject to certain conditions, on March 31, 2016 and on March 31 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 2 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative quarterly floating rate dividend at a rate equal to the three-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield plus 1.73% as and when declared by the Board of Directors.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Husky is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value common shares. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote, and are entitled to one vote per common share held. Holders of common shares are also entitled to receive dividends as declared by the Board of Directors on the common shares payable in whole or in part as a stock dividend in fully paid and non-assessable common shares or by the payment of cash. Holders are also entitled to receive the remaining property of Husky upon dissolution in equal rank with the holders of all other common shares. See “Dividend Policy and Restrictions.”
If the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the common shares payable in whole or in part as a stock dividend, shareholders of record wishing to accept a payment of future stock dividends declared by the Board of Directors in the form of common shares are required to complete and deliver to Husky’s transfer agent a Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice at least five business days prior to the record date of a declared dividend. The Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice permits shareholders to confirm that they will accept common shares as payment of the dividend on all or a stated number of their common shares. A Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice will remain in effect for all stock dividends on the common shares to which it relates and which are held by the shareholder unless the shareholder delivers a revocation notice to Husky’s transfer agent, in which case the Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice will not be effective for any dividends having a declaration date that is more than five business days following receipt of the revocation notice by Husky’s transfer agent.
In the event a shareholder fails to deliver a Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice at least five business days prior to the record date of a declared dividend, or delivers a Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice confirming that the holder of common shares accepts the common shares as payment of the dividend on some but not all of the holder’s common shares, the dividend on common shares for which no Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice was delivered or the dividend on those of the holder’s common shares in respect of which the holder did not deliver a Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice, will be paid in cash.
Husky is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value preferred shares. The preferred shares as a class have attached thereto the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions set forth below.
The preferred shares may from time to time be issued in one or more series, and the Board of Directors may fix from time to time before such issue the number of preferred shares which is to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each series of preferred shares including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any voting rights, the rate or amount of dividends or, the method of calculating dividends, the dates of payment thereof, the terms and conditions of redemption, purchase and conversion if any, and any sinking fund or other provision.
The preferred shares of each series shall, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Husky, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other return of capital or distribution of assets of Husky amongst its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, be entitled to preference over the common shares of Husky and over any other shares of Husky ranking by their terms junior to the preferred shares of that series. The preferred shares of any series may also be given such other preferences over the common shares of Husky and any other such preferred shares.
If any cumulative dividends or amounts payable on the return of capital in respect of a series of preferred shares are not paid in full, all series of preferred shares shall participate ratably in respect of accumulated dividends and return of capital.
In 2011, Husky issued 12 million Series 1 Preferred Shares and authorized the issuance of 12 million Series 2 Preferred Shares. See “Dividend Policy and Restrictions – Series 1 Preferred Share Dividends.”

The following information relating to Husky’s credit ratings is provided as it relates to Husky’s financing costs, liquidity and operations. Specifically, credit ratings affect Husky’s ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of Husky to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost effective basis depends on Husky’s credit ratings. A reduction in the current rating on Husky’s debt by one or more of its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment grade ratings, or a negative change in Husky’s ratings outlook could adversely affect Husky’s cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. In addition, changes in credit ratings may affect Husky’s ability to enter, and the associated costs of entering, (i) into ordinary course derivative or hedging transactions, which may require Husky to post additional collateral under certain of its contracts, and (ii) into and maintaining ordinary course contracts with customers and suppliers on acceptable terms.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of any issuer of securities. The credit ratings accorded to Husky’s securities by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the securities inasmuch as such ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. Any rating may not remain in effect for any given period of time or may be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if in its judgment circumstances so warrant.
Moody’s
Moody’s credit rating system ranges from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Debt securities rated within the Baa category are considered medium grade debts; they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear to be adequate at the time of the rating; however, they are subject to potential adverse circumstances over time. As a result, these debt securities possess some speculative characteristics. The addition of a 1, 2 or 3 modifier indicates an additional relative standing within the general rating classification. The addition of the modifier 1 indicates the debt is positioned in the top one third of the general rating classification, 2 indicates the mid one third and 3 indicates the bottom one third.
Standard and Poor’s
Standard and Poor’s credit rating system for debt ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Debt securities rated within the BBB category are considered to possess adequate protection parameters. However, they could potentially change subject to adverse economic conditions or other circumstances that may result in reduced capacity of the debtor to continue to meet principal and interest payments. As a result, these debt securities possess some speculative characteristics. The addition of the modifier + or - indicates the debt is positioned above (+) or below (-) the mid range of the general category.
Standard and Poor’s began rating Husky’s Series 1 Preferred Shares on its Canadian preferred share scale on March 11, 2011. Preferred share ratings have a direct correlation to the degree of credit worthiness provided by the debt ratings system except that ratings on preferred shares refer to the entity’s ability to fulfill the obligations specific to the preferred shares. A P-2 (low) rating on the Canadian preferred share rating scale is equivalent to a BBB- rating on the debt rating scale.
AIF 2012 | Page 78 |
Table of Contents
Dominion Bond Rating Service
Dominion Bond Rating Service’s credit rating system for debt ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Debt securities rated within the A category are considered to be of satisfactory credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered acceptable, but the debtor is susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adverse conditions present which reduce the strength of the debtor and its rated debt. The addition of the high or low modifier denotes that the rating is either above or below the mid range of the general rating category.
Dominion Bond Rating Service began rating Husky’s Series 1 Preferred Shares on its Canadian preferred share scale on March 10, 2011. Preferred share ratings have a direct correlation to the degree of credit worthiness provided by the debt ratings system except that ratings on preferred shares refers to the entity’s ability to fulfill the obligations specific to the preferred shares. A Pfd-2(low) rating on the Canadian preferred share rating scale is equivalent to an A category rating on the debt rating scale.

As at February 27, 2013, the directors and officers of Husky, as a group, beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, 661,875 common shares of Husky representing less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common shares.
The officers and directors of Husky may also become officers and/or directors of other companies engaged in the oil and gas business generally and which may own interests in oil and gas properties in which Husky holds or may in the future, hold an interest. As a result, situations may arise where the interests of such directors and officers conflict with their interests as directors and officers of other companies. In the case of the directors, the resolution of such conflicts is governed by applicable corporate laws which require that directors act honestly, in good faith and with a view to the best interests of Husky and, in respect of theBusiness Corporations Act(Alberta), Husky’s governing statute, that directors declare, and refrain from voting on, any matter in which a director may have a conflict of interest.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this AIF are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively “forward-looking statements”). The Company hereby provides cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “is targeting,” “estimated,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “could,” “aim,” “vision,” “goals,” “objective,” “target,” “schedules” and “outlook”) are not historical facts, are forward-looking and may involve estimates and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors some of which are beyond the Company’s control and difficult to predict. Accordingly, these factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this AIF include, but are not limited to, references to:
• | with respect to the business, operations and results of the Company generally: the Company’s general strategic plans and growth strategies; |
• | with respect to the Company’s Asia Pacific Region: anticipated timing of first gas production and ramping up of production at the Company’s Liwan 3-1 Gas Project; scheduled timing of topside platform completions and floatover for the Liwan Gas Project; anticipated timing of first gas at the Madura Strait Block; and development plans for the single well Liuhua 34-2 field; |

• | with respect to the Company’s Heavy Oil properties: anticipated timing of first production at the Company’s Sandall thermal development project; anticipated timing of first production at the Company’s Rush Lake thermal development project; and ability of the Company’s undeveloped land position and the development and application of improved recovery technologies to maintain heavy crude oil production in the Lloydminster area; |
• | with respect to the Company’s Western Canadian oil and gas resource plays: 2013 drilling and development plans at the Company’s Redwater Red Deer and Alliance plays; and 2013 well workover plans at the Company’s Macklin Saskatchewan ASP flood project; and |
• | with respect to the Company’s Downstream operating segment: anticipated timing and duration of scheduled turnarounds at the Lima Refinery; anticipated timing of operations of the kerosene hydrotreater at the Lima Refinery; expansion plans for bitumen processing capacity at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery; expected timing of startup of the Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Reformer project at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery. |
In addition, statements relating to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves or resources described can be profitably produced in the future.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected by the forward-looking statements presented in this AIF are reasonable, the Company’s forward-looking statements have been based on assumptions and factors
AIF 2012 | Page 92 |
Table of Contents
concerning future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to the Company about itself and the businesses in which it operates. Information used in developing forward-looking statements has been acquired from various sources including third party consultants, suppliers, regulators and other sources. The material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• | with respect to the business, operations and results of the Company generally: the absence of significant adverse changes to commodity prices, interest rates, applicable royalty rates and tax laws, and foreign exchange rates; the absence of significant adverse changes to energy markets, competitive conditions, the supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL and refined petroleum products, or the political, economic and social stability of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; continuing availability of economical capital resources, labour and services; demand for products and cost of operations; the absence of significant adverse legislative and regulatory changes, in particular changes to the legislation and regulation governing fiscal regimes and environmental issues; and stability of general domestic and global economic, market and business conditions; |
• | with respect to the Company’s Asia Pacific Region, Atlantic Region, Oil Sands properties, Heavy Oil properties and Western Canadian oil and gas resource plays: the accuracy of future production rates and reserve and resource estimates; the securing of sales agreements to underpin the commercial development and regulatory approvals for the development of the Company’s properties; the absence of significant delays of the procurement, development, construction or commissioning of our projects, for which the Company or a third party is the designated operator, that may result from the inability of suppliers to meet their commitments, lack of regulatory or third-party approvals or other governmental actions, harsh weather or other calamitous event; the absence of significant disruption of operations such as may result from harsh weather, natural disaster, accident, civil unrest or other calamitous event; the absence of significant unexpected technological or commercial difficulties that adversely affect exploration, development, production, processing or transportation; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; and the absence of significant increase in the cost of major growth projects; and |
• | with respect to the Company’s Downstream operating segment: the absence of significant delays of the development, construction or commissioning of our projects that may result from the inability of suppliers to meet their commitments, lack of regulatory or third-party approvals or other governmental actions, harsh weather or other calamitous event; the absence of significant disruption of operations such as may result from harsh weather, natural disaster, accident, civil unrest or other calamitous event; the absence of significant unexpected technological or commercial difficulties that adversely affect processing or transportation; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; and the absence of significant increase in the cost of major growth projects. |
Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to Husky. The risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Husky’s control, that could cause actual results to differ (potentially significantly) from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• | with respect to the business, operations and results of the Company generally: those risks, uncertainties and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in this AIF and throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012; the demand for the Company’s products and prices received for crude oil and natural gas production and refined petroleum products; the economic conditions of the markets in which the Company conducts business; the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar; the ability to replace reserves of oil and gas, whether sourced from exploration, improved recovery or acquisitions; potential actions of governments, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders that may impose operating costs or restrictions in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations; changes to royalty regimes; changes to government fiscal, monetary and other financial policies; changes in workforce demographics; and the cost and availability of capital, including access to capital markets at acceptable rates; |

These and other factors are discussed throughout this AIF and in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012 available on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com and on EDGAR atwww.sec.gov.
In the discussions above, the Company has categorized the material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements, and the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence actual results, by region, properties, plays and segments. These categories reflect the Company’s current views regarding the factors, assumptions, risks and uncertainties most relevant to the particular region, property, play or segment. Other factors, assumptions, risks or uncertainties could impact a particular region, property, play or segment, and a factor, assumption, risk or uncertainty categorized under a particular region, property, play or segment could also influence results with respect to another region, property, play or segment.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent upon other factors, and the Company’s course of action would depend upon its assessment of the future considering all information then available.

Husky Energy Inc.
Audit Committee Mandate
Purpose
The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Husky Energy Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Committee’s primary function is to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to:
1. | the quarterly and annual financial statements and quarterly and annual MD&A, which are to be provided to shareholders and the appropriate regulatory agencies; |
2. | earnings press releases before the Corporation publicly discloses this information; |
3. | the system of internal controls that management has established; |
4. | the internal and external audit process; |
5. | the appointment of external auditors; |
6. | the appointment of qualified reserves evaluators or auditors; |
7. | the filing of statements and reports with respect to the Corporation’s oil and gas reserves; and |
8. | the identification, management and mitigation of major financial risk exposures of the Corporation. |
In addition, the Committee provides an avenue for communication between the Board and each of the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and other senior financial management, internal audit, the external auditors, external qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and internal qualified reserves evaluators. It is expected that the Committee will have a clear understanding with the external auditors and the external reserve evaluators or auditors that an open and transparent relationship must be maintained with the Committee.
While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth it this Mandate, the role of the Committee is oversight. The members of the Committee are not full time employees of the Corporation and may or may not be accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting, or auditing and, in any event, do not serve in such capacity. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct financial audits or reserve audits or evaluations, or to determine that the Corporation’s financial statements are complete, accurate and are in accordance with applicable accounting or reserve principles.
This is the responsibility of management and the external auditors and, as to reserves, the external reserve evaluators or auditors. Management and the external auditors will also have the responsibility to conduct investigations and to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Corporation’s business conduct guidelines.
Composition
The Committee will consist of not less than three directors, all of whom will be independent and will satisfy the financial literacy requirements of securities regulatory requirements.
One of the members of the Committee will be an audit committee financial expert as defined in applicable securities regulatory requirements.
Members of the Committee will be appointed annually at a meeting of the Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee to the Co-Chairs of the Board and will be listed in the annual report to shareholders.
Committee members may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board, and will, in any event, cease to be a member of the Committee upon ceasing to be a member of the Board. Where a vacancy occurs at any time in the membership of the Committee, it may be filled by the Board.
The Committee Chair will be appointed by the Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee to the Co-Chairs of the Board.
AIF 2012 | Page 95 |
Table of Contents
Meetings
The Committee will meet at least four times annually on dates determined by the Chair or at the call of the Chair or any other Committee member, and as many additional times as the Committee deems necessary.
Committee members will strive to be present at all meetings either in person, by telephone or other communications facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other.
A majority of Committee members, present in person, by telephone, or by other permissible communication facilities will constitute a quorum.
The Committee will appoint a secretary, who need not be a member of the Committee, or a director of the Corporation. The secretary will keep minutes of the meetings of the Committee. Minutes will be sent to all Committee members, on a timely basis.
As necessary or desirable, but in any case at least quarterly, the Committee shall meet with members of management and representatives of the external auditors and internal audit in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or any of these groups believes should be discussed privately.
As necessary or desirable, but in any case at least annually, the Committee will meet the management and representatives of the external reserves evaluators or auditors and internal reserves evaluators in separate executive sessions to discuss matters that the Committee or any of these groups believes should be discussed privately.
Authority
Subject to any prior specific directive by the Board, the Committee is granted the authority to investigate any matter or activity involving financial accounting and financial reporting, the internal controls of the Corporation and the reporting of the Corporation’s reserves and oil and gas activities.
The Committee has the authority to engage and set the compensation of independent counsel and other advisors, at the Corporation’s expense, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties.
In recognition of the fact that the external auditors are ultimately accountable to the Committee, the Committee will have the authority and responsibility to recommend to the Board the external auditors that will be proposed for nomination at the annual general meeting. The external auditors will report directly to the Committee, and the Committee will evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the external auditors. The Committee will approve the fees and terms for all audit engagements and all non-audit engagements with the external auditors. The Committee will consult with management and the internal audit group regarding the engagement of the external auditors but will not delegate these responsibilities.
The external qualified reserves evaluators or auditors will report directly to the Committee, and the Committee will evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the external qualified reserves evaluators or auditors. The Committee will approve the fees and terms for all reserves evaluators or audit engagements. The Committee will consult with management and the internal qualified reserves evaluators group regarding the engagement of the external qualified reserves evaluators or auditors but will not delegate these responsibilities.

Husky Energy Inc.
Report on Reserves Data by Qualified Reserves Evaluator
To the Board of Directors of Husky Energy Inc. (“Husky”):
1. | Our staff has evaluated Husky’s reserves data as at December 31, 2012. The reserves data are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and related future net revenue as at December 31, 2012, estimated using forecast prices and costs. |
2. | The reserves data are the responsibility of Husky’s management. As the Internal Qualified Reserves Evaluator our responsibility is to certify that the reserves data has been properly calculated in accordance with generally accepted procedures for the estimation of reserves data. |
We carried out our evaluation in accordance with generally accepted procedures for the estimation of oil and gas reserves data and standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the “COGE Handbook”) prepared jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society). Our internal reserves evaluators are not independent of Husky, within the meaning of the term “independent” under those standards.
3. | Those standards require that we plan and perform an evaluation to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the reserves data are free of material misstatement. An evaluation also includes assessing whether the reserves data are in accordance with the principles and definitions presented in the COGE Handbook. |
4. | The following table sets forth the evaluated estimated future net revenue (before deducting income taxes) attributed to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent, included in the reserves data of Husky evaluated for the year ended December 31, 2012 and reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors: |
Location of Reserves (Country or Foreign Geographic Area) | Proved Plus Probable Net Present Value of Future Net Revenue (Before Income Taxes, 10% Discount Rate) ($ millions) | |||
Canada | $ | 22,956 | ||
China | $ | 4,127 | ||
Indonesia | $ | 265 | ||
Libya | $ | 8 | ||
|
| |||
$ | 27,356 |
5. | In our opinion, the reserves data evaluated by us have, in all material respects, been determined in accordance with the principles and definitions presented in the COGE Handbook. |
6. | We have no responsibility to update our evaluation for events and circumstances occurring after the date of this report. |
7. | Because, the reserves data are based on judgments regarding future events, actual results will vary and the variations may be material. |

Husky Energy Inc.
Report of Management and Directors on Oil and Gas Disclosure
Management of Husky Energy Inc. (“Husky”) are responsible for the preparation and disclosure of information with respect to Husky’s oil and gas activities in accordance with securities regulatory requirements. This information includes reserves data which are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and related future net revenue as at December 31, 2012, estimated using forecast prices and costs.
Husky’s oil and gas reserves evaluation process involves applying generally accepted procedures for the estimation of oil and gas reserves data for the purposes of complying with the legal requirements of NI 51-101. Husky’s internal qualified reserves evaluator is the Manager of Reservoir Engineering, who is an employee of Husky and has evaluated Husky’s oil and gas reserves data and certified that Husky’s reserves data process has been followed. The Report on Reserves Data by Husky’s internal qualified reserves evaluator accompanies this report and will be filed with securities regulatory authorities concurrently with this report.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has:
(a) | reviewed Husky’s procedures for providing information to the internal qualified reserves evaluator and the independent qualified reserves auditors; |
(b) | met with the internal qualified reserves evaluator and external reserves auditors to determine whether any restrictions placed by management affected the ability of the internal qualified reserves evaluator and the independent qualified auditors to report without reservation; and |
(c) | reviewed the reserves data with management, the internal qualified reserves evaluator and the independent qualified reserves auditors. |
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed Husky’s procedures for assembling and reporting other information associated with oil and gas activities and has reviewed that information with management. The Board of Directors has approved, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee:
(a) | the content and filing with securities regulatory authorities of Form 51-101F1 containing reserves data and other oil and gas information; |
(b) | the filing of Form 51-101F2, which is the Report on Reserves Data of Husky’s internal qualified reserves evaluator; and |
(c) | the content and filing of this report. |
Husky sought and was granted by the Canadian Securities Administrators an exemption from the requirement under National Instrument 51-101“Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” to involve independent qualified oil and gas reserves evaluators or auditors. Notwithstanding this exemption, we involve independent qualified reserves auditors as part of Husky’s corporate governance practices. Their involvement helps assure that our internal oil and gas reserves estimates are materially correct.
In Husky’s view, the reliability of Husky’s internally generated oil and gas reserves data is not materially less than would be afforded by Husky involving independent qualified reserves evaluators or independent qualified reserves auditors to evaluate or audit and review the reserves data. The primary factors supporting the involvement of independent qualified reserves evaluators or independent qualified reserves auditors apply when (i) their knowledge of, and experience with, a reporting issuer’s reserves data are superior to that of the internal reserves evaluators and (ii) the work of the independent qualified reserves evaluator or independent qualified reserves auditors is significantly less likely to be adversely influenced by self-interest or management of the reporting issuer than the work of internal reserves evaluation staff. In Husky’s view, neither of these factors applies in Husky’s circumstances.
Because the reserves data are based on judgments regarding future events, actual results will vary and the variations may be material.

Independent Engineer’s Audit Opinion
Husky Energy Inc.
707 – 8th Avenue S.W.
Calgary, Alberta
T2P 3G7
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Husky’s request we have conducted an audit of the reserves estimates and the respective net present value of these reserves of Husky Energy Inc., as at December 31, 2012. The Company’s detailed reserves information were provided to us for this audit. Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on the reserves and the respective present worth value estimates, in the aggregate, based on our audit tests and procedures.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted audit standards as recommended by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and as recommended in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) Volume 1 Section 12. Those standards require that we review and assess the policies, procedures, documentation and guidelines of the Company with respect to the estimation, review and approval of Husky’s reserves information. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, to confirm that there is adherence on the part of Husky’s internal reserves evaluators and other employees to the reserves management and administration policies and procedures established by the Company. An audit also includes conducting reserves evaluation on a sufficient number of the Company’s properties as considered necessary in order to express an opinion.
Based on the results of our audit, it is our opinion that Husky’s internally generated proved and probable reserves and net present values based on forecast and constant price assumptions are, in aggregate, reasonable, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted oil and gas engineering and evaluation practices as set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.
The results of the Husky internally generated reserves and net present values (based on forecast prices) supplied to us as part of the audit process are summarized in the attached table.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Husky Energy Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Husky Energy Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Husky Energy Inc. as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Other Matter
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Husky Energy Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2013 expressed an unmodified (unqualified) opinion on the effectiveness of Husky Energy Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Husky Energy Inc.
We have audited Husky Energy Inc.’s (“the Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated February 27, 2013 expressed an unmodified (unqualified) opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT
The management of Husky Energy Inc. (“the Company”) is responsible for the financial information and operating data presented in this financial document.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. When alternative accounting methods exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. Financial statements are not precise as they include certain amounts based on estimates and judgments. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Financial information presented elsewhere in this financial document has been prepared on a basis consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative controls. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial information is relevant, reliable and accurate and that the Company’s assets are properly accounted for and adequately safeguarded. Management’s evaluation concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. The system of internal controls is further supported by an internal audit function.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of independent non-management directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors as well as the external auditors, to discuss audit (external, internal and joint venture), internal controls, accounting policy and financial reporting matters as well as the reserves determination process. The Committee reviews the annual consolidated financial statements with both management and the independent auditors and reports its findings to the Board of Directors before such statements are approved by the Board. The Committee is also responsible for the appointment of the external auditors for the Company.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, the independent auditors, in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) on behalf of the shareholders. KPMG LLP has full and free access to the Audit Committee.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Description of Business and Segmented Disclosures
Husky Energy Inc. (“Husky” or “the Company”) is an international integrated energy company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Company’s common and preferred shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “HSE” and “HSE.PR.A”, respectively. The registered office is located at 707, 8th Avenue S.W., PO Box 6525, Station D, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3G7.
Management has identified segments for the Company’s business based on differences in products, services and management responsibility. The Company’s business is conducted predominantly through two major business segments – Upstream and Downstream.
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed an evaluation of activities of the Company’s former Midstream segment as a service provider to the Upstream or Downstream operations. As a result, and consistent with the Company’s strategic view of its integrated business, the previously reported Midstream segment activities are now aligned and reported within the Company’s core exploration and production, or in its upgrading and refining businesses. The Company believes this change in segment presentation allows management and third parties to more effectively assess the Company’s performance.
Upstream includes exploration for, and development and production of, crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and natural gas liquids (Exploration and Production) and marketing of the Company’s and other producers’ crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, sulphur and petroleum coke, pipeline transportation and blending of crude oil and natural gas and storage of crude oil, diluent and natural gas (Infrastructure and Marketing). The Company’s Upstream operations are located primarily in Western Canada, offshore East Coast of Canada, offshore Greenland, offshore China and offshore Indonesia.
Downstream includes upgrading of heavy crude oil feedstock into synthetic crude oil (Upgrading), refining in Canada of crude oil and marketing of refined petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, ethanol blended fuels, asphalt and ancillary products, and production of ethanol (Canadian Refined Products) and refining in the U.S. of primarily crude oil to produce and market gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuels that meet U.S. clean fuels standards (U.S. Refining and Marketing).
Comparative periods have been reclassified to conform to the revised segment presentation.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Table of Contents
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
a) | Basis of Measurement and Statement of Compliance |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a historical cost basis with some exceptions, as detailed in the accounting policies set out below in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements were approved and signed by the Chair of the Audit Committee and Chief Executive Officer on February 27, 2013, having been duly authorized to do so by the Board of Directors.
b) | Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Husky Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are defined as any entities, including unincorporated entities such as partnerships, for which the Company has the power to govern their financial and operating policies to obtain benefits from their activities. Substantially all of the Company’s Upstream activities are conducted jointly with third parties and accordingly the accounts reflect the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows from these activities. Intercompany balances, net earnings and unrealized gains and losses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
c) | Use of Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions |
The timely preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies, if any, as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, judgments and assumptions.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and on a prospective basis. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future years could require a material change in the consolidated financial statements. These underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, and are subject to change as new events occur, as more industry experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Specifically, amounts recorded for depletion, depreciation, amortization, impairment, asset retirement obligations, assets and liabilities measured at fair value, employee future benefits, income taxes, and contingencies are based on estimates.
Management makes judgments regarding the application of IFRS for each accounting policy. Critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include successful efforts and impairment assessments, the determination of cash generating units (“CGUs”) and the designation of the Company’s functional currency.
Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made by Management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are outlined in detail in Note 3.
d) | Functional and Presentation Currency |
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information is presented in millions of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise stated.
The designation of the Company’s functional currency is a management judgment based on the composition of revenue and costs in the locations in which it operates.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies
a) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, less outstanding cheques and deposits with an original maturity of less than three months at the time of purchase. When outstanding cheques are in excess of cash on hand and short-term deposits and the Company has the ability to net settle, the excess is reported in bank operating loans.
b) | Inventories |
Crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products and sulphur inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using average cost or on a first-in, first-out basis, as appropriate. Materials, parts and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Cost consists of raw material, labour, direct overhead and transportation. Commodity inventories held for trading purposes are carried at fair value. Any changes in commodity inventory fair value are included as gains or losses in marketing and other in the consolidated statements of income, during the period of change. Previous inventory impairment provisions are reversed when there is a change in the condition that caused the impairment. Unrealized intersegment net earnings on inventory sales are eliminated.
c) | Precious Metals |
The Company uses precious metals in conjunction with a catalyst as part of the downstream upgrading and refining processes. These precious metals remain intact; however, there is a loss during the reclamation process. The estimated loss is amortized to production and operating expenses over the period that the precious metal is in use, which is approximately two to five years. After the reclamation process, the actual loss is compared to the estimated loss and any difference is recognized in net earnings. Precious metals are included in property, plant and equipment on the balance sheet.
d) | Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment |
i) | Cost |
Oil and gas properties and other property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost including expenditures which are directly attributable to the purchase or development of an asset. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are included in the asset cost. Capitalization ceases when substantially all activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are complete.
The appropriate accounting treatment of costs incurred for oil and natural gas exploration and evaluation and development is determined by the classification of the underlying activities as either exploratory or developmental. The results from an exploration drilling program can take considerable time to analyze, and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Exploration activities can fluctuate from year to year due to such factors as the level of exploratory spending, the level of risk sharing with third parties participating in exploratory drilling and, the degree of risk associated with drilling in particular areas. Properties that are assumed to be productive may, over a period of time, actually deliver oil and gas in quantities different than originally estimated because of changes in reservoir performance.
ii) | Exploration and Evaluation Costs |
Costs incurred after the legal right to explore an area has been obtained and before technical feasibility and commercial viability of the area have been established are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. These costs include costs to acquire acreage and exploration rights, legal and other professional fees and land brokerage fees. Pre-license costs and geological and geophysical costs associated with exploration activities are expensed in the period incurred. Costs directly associated with an exploration well are initially capitalized as an exploration and evaluation asset until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been evaluated. If extractable

hydrocarbons are found and are likely to be developed commercially, but are subject to further appraisal activity which may include the drilling of wells, the costs continue to be carried as an exploration and evaluation asset while sufficient and continued progress is made in assessing the commercial viability of the hydrocarbons. Capitalized exploration and evaluation costs or assets are not depreciated and are carried forward until technical feasibility and commercial viability of the area is determined or the assets are determined to be impaired. Technical feasibility and commercial viability are met when management determines that an exploration and evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals. Upon the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability, capitalized exploration and evaluation assets are then transferred to property, plant and equipment. All such carried costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review as well as review for impairment at least every reporting period to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. These costs are also tested for impairment when transferred to property, plant and equipment. Capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures related to wells that do not find reserves, or where no future activity is planned, are expensed as exploration and evaluation expenses.
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation costs requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefit exists when activities have not reached a stage where technical feasibility and commercial viability can be reasonably determined. Judgments may change as new information becomes available.
iii) | Development Costs |
Expenditures, including borrowing costs, on the construction, installation and completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and the drilling of development wells, including unsuccessful development or delineation wells, are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and equipment to lift oil and gas to the surface are expensed as production and operating expenses.
iv) | Other Property, Plant and Equipment |
Repair and maintenance costs, other than major turnaround costs, are expensed as incurred. Major turnaround costs are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment when incurred and are amortized over the estimated period of time to the next scheduled turnaround.
v) | Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization |
Oil and gas properties are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the proved developed reserves of the particular field, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter or longer than the lifetime of the proved developed reserves of that field, in which case the straight-line method or a unit-of-production method based on total recoverable reserves is applied. Rights and concessions are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over the total proved reserves of the relevant area. The unit-of-production rate for the depletion of oil and gas properties related to total proved reserves takes into account expenditures incurred to date, together with sanctioned future development expenditures required to develop the field.
Oil and gas reserves are evaluated internally and audited by independent qualified reserves engineers. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process and involves the exercise of professional judgment. Estimates are based on projected future rates of production, estimated commodity prices, engineering data and the timing of future expenditures, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Changes in reserve estimates can have an impact on reported net earnings through revisions to depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, in addition to determining possible impairments of property, plant and equipment.
Net reserves represent the Company’s undivided gross working interest in total reserves after deducting crown, freehold and overriding royalty interests. Assumptions reflect market and regulatory conditions, as applicable, as at the balance sheet date and could differ significantly from other points in time throughout the year or future periods. Changes in market and regulatory conditions and assumptions can materially impact the estimation of net reserves.

Table of Contents
Depreciation for substantially all other property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from five to forty-five years, less any estimated residual value. The useful lives of assets are estimated based upon the period the asset is expected to be available for use by the Company. Residual values are based upon the estimated amount that would be obtained on disposal, net of any costs associated with the disposal. Other property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization rates for all capitalized costs associated with the Company’s activities are reviewed, at least annually, or when events or conditions occur that impact capitalized costs, reserves and estimated service lives.
Any gain or loss arising on disposal of exploration and evaluation assets or property, plant and equipment is included in other – net in the consolidated statements of income in the period of disposal.
e) | Joint Arrangements |
Joint arrangements represent activities where the Company has joint control established by a contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the arrangement with items of a similar nature on a line-by-line basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases.
f) | Business Combinations |
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Determining whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business combination or represents an asset purchase requires judgment on a case by case basis. If the acquisition meets the definition of a business combination, the assets and liabilities are recognized based on the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Company’s operating and accounting policies, and other factors that exist on the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. The identifiable assets and liabilities are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date. Any additional consideration payable, contingent upon the occurrence of a future event, is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date; subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net earnings. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in other – net in the consolidated statements of income.
g) | Goodwill |
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the recognized amount of net assets acquired, which is inherently imprecise as judgment is required in the determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities. Goodwill, which is not amortized, is assigned to appropriate CGUs or groups of CGUs. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses are recognized in net earnings and are not subject to reversal. On the disposal or termination of a previously acquired business, any remaining balance of associated goodwill is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal.
h) | Impairment of Non-Financial Assets |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.
Determining whether there are any indications of impairment requires significant judgment of external factors, such as an extended decrease in prices or margins for oil and gas commodities or products, a significant decline in an asset’s market value, a significant downward revision of estimated volumes, an upward revision of future development costs, a decline in the entity’s market capitalization, or significant changes in the technological, market, economic or

legal environment that would have an adverse impact on the entity. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”) and the asset’s value in use (“VIU”) for an individual asset, or CGU. If the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, the asset is tested as part of a CGU, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets, liabilities and associated goodwill that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Determination of the Company’s CGUs is subject to management’s judgment.
FVLCS is the amount that would be obtained from the sale of a CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. The FVLCS is generally determined as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the CGU, including any expansion prospects, and its eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account. These cash flows are discounted using a rate which would be applied by a market participant to arrive at a net present value of the CGU.
VIU is the net present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual disposal. VIU is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company’s continued use and can only take into account sanctioned future development costs. Estimates of future cash flows used in the evaluation of impairment of assets are made using management’s forecasts of commodity prices, marketing supply and demand, product margins and in the case of oil and gas properties, expected production volumes. Expected production volumes take into account assessments of field reservoir performance and include expectations about proved, probable and unproved volumes, which are risk-weighted utilizing geological, production, recovery and economic projections. Either the cash flow estimates or the discount rate is risk-adjusted to reflect local conditions as appropriate.
Given that the calculations for recoverable amounts require the use of estimates and assumptions, including forecasts of commodity prices, marketing supply and demand, product margins and in the case of oil and gas properties, expected production volumes, it is possible that the assumptions may change, which may impact the estimated life of the CGU and may require a material adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill and non-financial assets.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized with respect to CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU or group of CGUs on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses are recognized in depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment in the consolidated statements of income.
Impairment losses recognized for other assets in prior years are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the impairment condition has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset or CGU does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, depreciation and amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
i) | Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”) |
A liability is recognized for future legal or constructive retirement obligations associated with the Company’s assets. The Company has significant obligations to remove tangible assets and restore land after operations cease and the Company retires or relinquishes the asset. The retirement of Upstream and Downstream assets consists primarily of plugging and abandoning wells, removing and disposing of surface and subsea plant and equipment and facilities, and restoring land to a state required by regulation or contract. The amount recognized is the net present value of the estimated future expenditures determined in accordance with local conditions, current technology and current regulatory requirements. The obligation is calculated using the current estimated costs to retire the asset inflated to the estimated retirement date and then discounted using a credit-adjusted risk free discount rate. The liability is recorded in the period in which an obligation arises with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related asset. The liability is progressively accreted over time as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense

recognized in finance expenses. The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the depletion, depreciation and amortization of the underlying assets. Actual retirement expenditures are charged against the accumulated liability as incurred.
Liabilities for ARO are adjusted every reporting period for changes in estimates. These adjustments are accounted for as a change in the corresponding capitalized cost, except where a reduction in the provision is greater than the undepreciated capitalized cost of the related assets, in which case the capitalized cost is reduced to nil and the remaining adjustment is recognized in net earnings. In the case of closed sites, changes to estimated costs are recognized immediately in net earnings. Changes to the amount of capitalized costs will result in an adjustment to future depletion, depreciation and amortization, and finance expenses.
Estimating the ARO requires significant judgment as restoration technologies and costs are constantly changing, as are regulatory, political, environmental and safety considerations. Inherent in the calculation of the ARO are numerous assumptions including the ultimate settlement amounts, future third-party pricing, inflation factors, risk free discount rates, credit risk, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. Future revisions to these assumptions may result in material changes to the ARO liability. Adjustments to the estimated amounts and timing of future ARO cash flows are a regular occurrence in light of the significant judgments and estimates involved.
j) | Legal and Other Contingent Matters |
Provisions and liabilities for legal and other contingent matters are recognized in the period when the circumstance becomes probable that a future cash outflow resulting from past operations or events will occur and the amount of the cash outflow can be reasonably estimated. The timing of recognition and measurement of the provision requires the application of judgment to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change, and the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted accordingly. The Company is required to both determine whether a loss is probable based on judgment and interpretation of laws and regulations, and determine that the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is recognized, it is charged to net earnings. The Company continually monitors known and potential contingent matters and makes appropriate provisions when warranted by the circumstances present.
k) | Share Capital |
Preferred shares are classified as equity since they are cancellable and redeemable only at the Company’s option and dividends are discretionary and payable only if declared by the Board of Directors. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Common share dividends are paid out in common shares or in cash, and preferred share dividends are paid in cash. Both common and preferred share dividends are recognized as distributions within equity.
l) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments are any contracts that give rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured based on classification in one of the following categories: loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, other financial liabilities, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets.
Financial instruments classified as FVTPL or AFS are measured at fair value at each reporting date; any transaction costs associated with these types of instruments are expensed as incurred. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and transferred to net earnings when the asset is derecognized. Unrealized gains and losses on FVTPL financial instruments related to trading activities are recognized in marketing and other in the consolidated statements of income and unrealized gains and losses on all other FVTPL financial instruments are recognized in other – net.
Consolidated Financial Statements

Table of Contents
Financial instruments classified as loans or receivables, held to maturity investments and other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial instrument measured at amortized cost are added to the fair value initially recognized.
Financial instruments subsequently revalued at fair value are further categorized using a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining fair value. Level 1 fair value is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 fair value is based on inputs that are independently observable for similar assets or liabilities. Level 3 fair value is not based on independently observable market data. The disclosure of the fair value hierarchy excludes financial assets and liabilities where book value approximates fair value.
m) | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
Derivatives are financial instruments for which the fair value changes in response to market risks, require little or no initial investment and are settled at a future date. Derivative instruments are utilized by the Company to manage various market risks including volatility in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rate exposures. The Company’s policy is not to utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company may enter into swap and other derivative transactions to hedge or mitigate the Company’s commercial risk, including derivatives that reduce risks that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Company may choose to apply hedge accounting to derivative instruments.
The fair values of derivatives are determined using valuation models which require assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates. These estimates are also subject to change with fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and estimates of non-performance. The actual settlement of a derivative instrument could differ materially from the fair value recorded and could impact future results.
i) | Derivative Instruments |
All derivative instruments, other than those designated as effective hedging instruments, are classified as FVTPL – held for trading and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income in the period they occur.
The Company may enter into commodity price contracts to offset fixed or floating price contracts entered into with customers and suppliers to retain market prices while meeting customer or supplier pricing requirements. The estimation of the fair value of commodity derivatives and the related inventory incorporates forward prices and adjustments for quality or location. Gains and losses from these contracts, which are not designated as effective hedging instruments, are recognized in revenues or purchases of crude oil and products and are initially recorded at settlement date. Derivative instruments that have been designated as effective hedging instruments are further classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges and are recorded on the balance sheet as set forth below under “Hedging Activities.”
ii) | Embedded Derivatives |
Derivatives embedded in a host contract are recorded separately when the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at FVTPL. The definition of an embedded derivative is the same as other freestanding derivatives. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in net earnings.
iii) | Hedging Activities |
At the inception of a derivative transaction, if the Company elects to use hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the designation of the hedge, the risk management objectives, the hedging relationships between the hedged items and the hedging items, and the method for testing the effectiveness of the hedge, which must be reasonably assured over the term of the derivative transaction. This process includes linking all derivatives to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions.
Consolidated Financial Statements
19
Table of Contents
The Company formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and at each reporting date, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. For fair value hedges, the gains or losses arising from adjusting the derivative to its fair value are recognized immediately in net earnings along with the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gains and losses is recorded in OCI until the hedged transaction is recognized in net earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in net earnings. When the hedged transaction is recognized in net earnings, the fair value of the associated cash flow hedging item is reclassified from other reserves into net earnings. Hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis when the hedging relationship no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.
When a fair value hedging relationship is discontinued as a result of discontinuing the hedging instrument, any gain or loss on the hedging instrument is deferred and amortized to net earnings over the remaining maturity of the hedged item. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument resulting from the discontinuation of a cash flow hedging relationship is deferred in OCI until the forecasted transaction date. If the forecasted transaction date is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss is recognized in net earnings in the period of discontinuation.
The Company may designate certain U.S. dollar denominated debt as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. The unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the debt are recorded in OCI, net of tax, and are limited to the translation gain or loss on the net investment.
The Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge its fixed and floating interest rate mix on long-term debt. The estimated fair value of interest rate hedges is determined primarily through forward market prices and compared with quotes from financial institutions. Gains and losses from these contracts are recognized as an adjustment to finance expense on the hedged debt instrument.
The Company may also enter into interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on a highly probable forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The estimated fair value of forward starting swaps is determined primarily using forward market prices. The effective portion of gains and losses on these instruments is recorded in OCI and is adjusted for changes in the fair value of the instrument until the forecasted transaction occurs.
The Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposures on U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt. The estimated fair value of forward purchases of U.S. dollars is determined primarily using forward market prices. Gains and losses on these instruments related to foreign exchange are recorded in foreign exchange gains or losses in the period to which they relate, offsetting the respective foreign exchange gains and losses recognized on the underlying foreign currency long-term debt. The remaining portion of the gain or loss is recorded in OCI and is adjusted for changes in the fair value of the instrument over the life of the debt.
The Company may enter into foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange collars to hedge anticipated U.S. dollar denominated crude oil and natural gas sales. The estimate of fair value for foreign currency hedges is determined primarily through forward market prices and compared with quotes from financial institutions. Gains and losses on these instruments are recognized in Upstream oil and gas revenues when the sale is recorded.
n) | Comprehensive Income |
Comprehensive income consists of net earnings and OCI. OCI is comprised of the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives used as hedging items in a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge, the unrealized gains and losses on AFS financial assets, the exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign operations and the actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans. Amounts included in OCI are shown net of tax. Other reserves is an equity category comprised of the cumulative amounts of OCI, relating to foreign currency translation and hedging.

Table of Contents
o) | Impairment of Financial Assets |
A financial asset is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether it is impaired based on objective evidence indicating that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. Objective evidence used by the Company to assess impairment of financial assets includes quoted market prices for similar financial assets and historical collection rates for loans and receivables.
An impairment loss with respect to a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the net present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss with respect to an AFS financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value and any amounts in OCI are transferred to net earnings.
Significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.
All impairment losses are recognized in net earnings. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized.
Given that the calculations for the net present value of estimated future cash flows related to derivative financial assets requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including forecasts of commodity prices, marketing supply and demand, product margins and expected production volumes, it is possible that the assumptions may change, which may require a material adjustment to the carrying value of financial assets.
p) | Pensions and Other Post-employment Benefits |
In Canada, the Company provides a defined contribution pension plan and other post-retirement benefits to qualified employees. The Company also maintains a defined benefit pension plan for a small number of employees who did not choose to join the defined contribution pension plan in 1991. In the United States, the Company provides defined contribution pension plans (401(k)), a defined benefit pension plan and other post-retirement benefits.
The cost of the pension benefits earned by employees in the defined contribution pension plans is expensed as incurred. The cost of the benefits earned by employees in the defined benefit pension plans is determined using the projected unit credit funding method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in retained earnings as incurred.
Past service costs are recognized in the benefit cost on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The past service costs are recognized as an expense immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, the pension plans.
The defined benefit asset or liability is comprised of the present value of the defined benefit obligation, less past service costs and the fair value of plan assets from which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are measured at fair value based on the closing bid price when there is a quoted price in an active market. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the Company’s creditors. The value of any defined benefit asset is restricted to the sum of any past service costs and the present value of refunds from and reductions in future contributions to the plan. Defined benefit obligations are estimated by discounting expected future payments using the year-end market rate of interest for high-quality corporate debt instruments with cash flows that match the timing and amount of expected benefit payments.
Consolidated Financial Statements

Table of Contents
Post-retirement medical benefits are also provided to qualifying retirees. In some cases the benefits are provided through medical care plans to which the Company, the employees, the retirees and covered family members contribute. In some plans there is no funding of the benefits before retirement. These plans are recognized on the same basis as described above for the defined benefit pension plans.
The determination of the cost of the defined benefit pension plans and the other post-retirement benefit plans reflects a number of assumptions that affect the expected future benefit payments. The valuation of these plans is prepared by an independent actuary who is engaged by the Company. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement age, attrition, future health care costs and mortality. The fair value of the plan assets is used for the purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets.
Mortality rates are based on the latest available standard mortality tables for the individual countries concerned. The assumptions for each country are reviewed each year and are adjusted where necessary to reflect changes in fund experience and actuarial recommendations. The rate of return on pension plan assets is based on a projection of real long-term bond yields and an equity risk premium, which are combined with local inflation assumptions and applied to the actual asset mix of each plan. The amount of the expected return on plan assets is calculated using the expected rate of return for the year and the fair value of assets at the beginning of the year. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the individual countries.
q) Income Taxes
Current income taxes are recognized in net earnings except when they relate to equity, which includes OCI, and are recognized directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the Company’s tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and reassessment and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is measured using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized at expected tax rates in effect in the year when the asset is expected to be realized or the liability settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax balances are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates that are substantively enacted with the adjustment being recognized in net earnings in the period that the change occurs unless it relates to items recognized directly to equity, including OCI, in which case the deferred income tax is also recorded in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
The determination of the Company’s income and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations often involving multiple jurisdictions. Significant estimations are also made with respect to the timing of temporary difference reversals, the realizability of tax assets and in circumstances where transaction and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination are uncertain. All tax filings are subject to audit and potential reassessment after the lapse of considerable time. Accordingly, the actual income tax liability may differ significantly from that estimated and recorded by management.
r) Asset Exchange Transactions
Asset exchange transactions are measured at cost if the transaction lacks commercial substance or the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. Otherwise, asset exchange transactions are measured at the fair value of the asset given up, unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident. If the acquired item is not measured at fair value, its cost is measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up. Gains and losses are recorded in other – net in the consolidated statements of income in the period they occur.
Consolidated Financial Statements

Table of Contents
s) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and it can be reliably measured. Revenues associated with the sale of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, synthetic crude oil, purchased commodities and refined petroleum products are recognized when the title passes to the customer. Revenues associated with the sale of transportation, processing and natural gas storage services are recognized when the services are provided.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, customs duties and sales taxes. Crude oil and natural gas sold below or above the Company’s working interest share of production results in production underlifts or overlifts. Underlifts are recorded as a receivable at cost with a corresponding decrease to production and operating expense while overlifts are recorded as a payable at fair value with a corresponding increase to production and operating expense.
Physical exchanges of inventory are reported on a net basis for swaps of similar items, as are sales and purchases made with a common counterparty, as part of an arrangement similar to a physical exchange.
Finance income is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
t) | Foreign Currency |
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate and is normally the currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. The financial statements of Husky’s subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars, which is the presentation and functional currency of the Company. The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than Canadian dollars are translated into Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses of such subsidiaries are translated using average monthly foreign exchange rates, which approximate the foreign exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are included in OCI.
The Company’s transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at the foreign exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date and differences arising on translation are recognized in net earnings. Non-monetary assets that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transactions.
u) | Share-based Payments |
In accordance with the Company’s stock option plan, stock options to acquire common shares may be granted to officers and certain other employees. The Company records compensation expense over the vesting period based on the fair value of options granted. Compensation expense is recorded in net earnings as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s stock option plan is a tandem plan that provides the stock option holder with the right to exercise the stock option or surrender the option for a cash payment. A liability for the stock options is accrued over their vesting period measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The liability is revalued each reporting period until it is settled to reflect changes in the fair value of the options. The net change is recognized in net earnings. When stock options are surrendered for cash, the cash settlement paid reduces the outstanding liability. When stock options are exercised for common shares, consideration paid by the stock option holders and the previously recognized liability associated with the stock options are recorded as share capital.
Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s Performance Share Unit Plan provides a time-vested award to certain officers and employees of the Company. Performance Share Units (“PSU”) entitle participants to receive cash based on the Company’s share price at the time of vesting. The amount of cash is contingent on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies. A liability for expected cash payments is accrued over the vesting period of the PSUs and is revalued at each reporting date based on the market price of the Company’s common shares and the expected vesting percentage. Upon vesting, a cash payment is made to the participants and the outstanding liability is reduced by the payment amount.
v) | Earnings per Share |
The number of basic common shares outstanding is the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Shares issued during the period are included in the weighted average number of shares from the date consideration is receivable. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is based on net earnings attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
The number of diluted common shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that any proceeds received from in-the-money stock options would be used to buy back common shares at the average market price for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on net earnings attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which are comprised of share options granted to employees. Stock options granted to employees provide the holder with the ability to settle in cash or equity. For the purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation, the Company must adjust the numerator for the more dilutive effect of cash-settlement versus equity-settlement despite how the stock options are accounted for in net earnings. As a result, net earnings reported based on accounting of cash-settled stock options may be adjusted for the results of equity-settlements for the purposes of determining the numerator for the diluted earnings per share calculation.
w) | Government Grants |
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. If a grant is received but reasonable assurance and compliance with conditions is not achieved, the grant is recognized as a deferred liability until such conditions are fulfilled. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income in the period in which the costs are incurred. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as a reduction to the net book value of the related asset and recognized in net earnings in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset through lower depletion, depreciation and amortization.

In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” which provides a single model to be applied in the assessment of control for all entities in which the Company has an investment including special purpose entities currently in the scope of Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12. Under the new control model, the Company has control over an investment if the Company has the ability to direct the activities of the investment, is exposed to the variability of returns from the investment and there is a link between the ability to direct activities and the variability of returns. IFRS 10 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 10 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ii) | Joint Arrangements |
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements,” whereby joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. Parties to a joint operation retain the rights and obligations to individual assets and liabilities of the operation, while parties to a joint venture have rights to the net assets of the venture. Joint operations shall be accounted for in a manner consistent with jointly controlled assets and operations whereby the Company’s contractual share of the arrangement’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is included in the consolidated financial statements. Any arrangement structured through a separate vehicle that does effectively result in separation between the Company and the arrangement shall be classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the existing IFRS standard, the Company has the option to account for any interests it has in joint arrangements using proportionate consolidation or equity accounting. IFRS 11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 11 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
iii) | Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities |
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities,” which contains new disclosure requirements for interests the Company has in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Required disclosures aim to provide readers of the financial statements with information to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with the Company’s interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on the Company’s financial statements. IFRS 12 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 12 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
iv) | Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures |
In May 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures,” which provides additional guidance applicable to accounting for interests in joint ventures or associates when a portion of an interest is classified as held for sale or when the Company ceases to have joint control or significant influence over an associate or joint venture. When joint control or significant influence over an associate or joint venture ceases, the Company will no longer be required to remeasure the investment at that date. When a portion of an interest in a joint venture or associate is classified as held for sale, the portion not classified as held for sale shall be accounted for using the equity method of accounting until the sale is completed at which time the interest is reassessed for prospective accounting treatment. Amendments to IAS 28 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt these amendments on January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the amendments to IAS 28 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

i) | Fair Value Measurement |
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement,” which provides a single source of fair value measurement guidance and replaces fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs. The standard provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes new disclosure requirements to enable readers to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements, for recurring valuations that are subject to measurement uncertainty, and for the effect of those measurements on the financial statements. IFRS 13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required prospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 13 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
vi) | Employee Benefits |
In June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19, “Employee Benefits” to eliminate the corridor method that permits the deferral of actuarial gains and losses, to revise the presentation requirements for changes in defined benefit plan assets and liabilities and to enhance the required disclosures for defined benefit plans. Amendments to IAS 19 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt these amendments on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the amended standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
vii) | Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities |
In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify the current offsetting model and develop common disclosure requirements to enhance the understanding of the potential effects of offsetting arrangements. Amendments to IFRS 7 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. Amendments to IAS 32 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt the IFRS 7 amendments on January 1, 2013 and the IAS 32 amendments on January 1, 2014. The adoption of these amended standards is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
viii) | Financial Instruments |
In November 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments,” which covers the classification and measurement of financial assets as part of its project to replace IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” In October 2010, the requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities were added to IFRS 9. Under this guidance, entities have the option to recognize financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. If this option is elected, entities would be required to reverse the portion of the fair value change due to their own credit risk out of net earnings and recognize the change in OCI. IFRS 9 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt the amendments on January 1, 2015. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
y) | Change in Presentation of Trading Activities |
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed a review of the trading activities within its Infrastructure and Marketing segment and determined that the realized and the unrealized gains and losses previously presented on a gross basis in gross revenues, purchases of crude oil and products and other – net, would be more appropriately presented on a net basis to reflect the nature of trading activities. As a result, these realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the underlying settlement of these contracts, have been recognized and recorded on a net basis in marketing and other in the consolidated statements of income.

z) | Change in Accounting Policy |
In June 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IAS 1, “Presentation of Items of OCI: Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.” The amendments stipulate the presentation of net earnings and OCI and also require the Company to group items within OCI based on whether the items may be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Amendments to IAS 1 were effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company retrospectively adopted the amendments on January 1, 2012. The adoption of the amendments to this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In 2012, as a result of declines in future natural gas prices, an impairment test was performed on two heavily gas-weighted CGUs located in East Central Alberta. No impairment indicators were identified for Husky’s remaining CGUs. The Company estimated the recoverable amount based on a VIU methodology using estimated cash flows based on both proved plus probable reserves and near-term development plans, discounted using an average pre-tax discount rate of 8% (2011 – 8%). At December 31, 2012, no impairment has been recognized in relation to these CGUs (December 31, 2011 – $70 million); however, the VIU calculation continues to be sensitive to factors such as development plans and, in particular, future natural gas prices, as a U.S. $0.10/mmbtu decrease represents an approximate effect on an annual undiscounted pre-tax earnings of $12 million.

As at December 31, 2012, goodwill related primarily to the Lima Refinery CGU included in the Downstream segment with the remaining balance allocated to various Upstream CGUs located in Western Canada. For impairment testing purposes, the recoverable amount of the Lima Refinery CGU was estimated using value-in-use methodology based on cash flows expected over a 40-year period and discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 10% (2011 – 10%). The discount rate was determined in relation to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate adjusted for risks specific to the refinery. Cash flow projections for the initial five-year period are based on budgeted future cash flows and inflated by a 2% long-term growth rate for the remaining 35-year period. The inflation rate was based upon an average expected inflation rate for the U.S. of 2% (2011 – 2%). At December 31, 2012, the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of the relevant CGUs. The value-in-use calculation for the Lima Refinery CGU is particularly sensitive to changes in discount rates, forecasted crack spreads and refining margins.
Note 11 Bank Operating Loans
At December 31, 2012, the Company had unsecured short-term borrowing lines of credit with banks totalling $515 million (December 31, 2011– $465 million) and letters of credit under these lines of credit totalling $235 million (December 31, 2011 – $250 million). As at December 31, 2012, bank operating loans were nil (December 31, 2011 – nil). Interest payable is based on Bankers’ Acceptance, U.S. LIBOR or prime rates. During 2012, the Company’s weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was approximately 1.2% (2011 – 1.2%).
Husky Energy (HK) Limited and Husky Oil China Ltd., subsidiaries of the Company, each have an uncommitted demand revolving facility of U.S. $10 million available for general purposes.

Credit Facilities
The Company’s revolving syndicated credit facility, which was entered into on November 15, 2011 and amended and restated on December 14, 2012, allows the Company to borrow up to $1.5 billion in either Canadian or U.S. currency from a group of banks on an unsecured basis. The facility is structured as a four-year committed revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 14, 2016.
The Company also has a second revolving syndicated credit facility, which was entered into on August 31, 2010 and amended and restated on December 14, 2012. The facility allows the Company to borrow up to $1.6 billion in either Canadian or U.S. currency from a group of banks on an unsecured basis. The facility is structured as a four-year committed revolving credit with a maturity date of August 31, 2014.
These facilities, except for their maturity dates, have the same terms. Interest rates vary based on Canadian prime, Bankers’ Acceptance, U.S. LIBOR or U.S. base rate, depending on the borrowing option selected and credit ratings assigned by certain credit rating agencies to the Company’s rated senior unsecured debt.
As at December 31, 2012, the Company had no borrowings under either revolving syndicated credit facility (December 31, 2011 – no borrowings under the prior $1.6 billion revolving syndicated credit facility, the prior $1.7 billion revolving syndicated credit facility or the $100 million bilaterial credit facility which was cancelled effective February 3, 2012).

At December 31, 2012, the Company had entered into a cash flow hedge using forward starting interest rate swap arrangements whereby the Company fixed the underlying U.S. 10-year Treasury Bond rate on U.S. $500 million to June 16, 2014, which is the Company’s forecasted debt issuance on the same date. Refer to Note 22.
On June 13, 2011, the Company filed a universal short form base shelf prospectus (the “U.S. Base Prospectus”) with the Alberta Securities Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that enables the Company to offer up to U.S. $3.0 billion of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units in the United States up to and including July 12, 2013. At December 31, 2012, approximately $1.5 billion remains available for issuance under the U.S. Base Prospectus.
On December 31, 2012, the Company filed a universal short form base shelf prospectus (the “Canadian Base Prospectus”) with applicable securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, that enables the Company to offer up to $3.0 billion of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units (the “Securities”) in Canada up to and including January 30, 2015.

The ability of the Company to raise capital utilizing the U.S. Base Prospectus or the Canadian Base Prospectus is dependent on market conditions at the time of sale.
The notes and debentures disclosed above are redeemable (unless otherwise stated) at the option of the Company, at any time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the par value of the securities and the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at a rate calculated using a comparable U.S. Treasury Bond rate (for U.S. dollar denominated securities) or Government of Canada Bond rate (for Canadian dollar denominated securities) plus an applicable spread. Interest on the notes and debentures disclosed above is payable semi-annually.
The Company’s notes, debentures, credit facilities and short-term lines of credit rank equally.
The unamortized portion of the gain on previously unwound interest rate swaps that were designated as a fair value hedge is included in the carrying value of long-term debt. Refer to Note 22.

Note 16 Asset Retirement Obligations
At December 31, 2012, the estimated total undiscounted inflation adjusted amount required to settle the Company’s ARO was $10.3 billion (December 31, 2011 – $8.5 billion). These obligations will be settled based on the useful lives of the underlying assets, which currently extend an average of 45 years into the future. This amount has been discounted using credit-adjusted risk-free rates of 3% to 5% (December 31, 2011 – 3% to 5%). Obligations related to environmental remediation and cleanup of oil and gas producing assets are included in the estimated ARO.
The change in estimates in 2012 primarily related to increased cost estimates for the retirement of assets in the Asia Pacific Region, the Atlantic Region and in Western Canada, and a revision of the timing of future ARO cash flows for Western Canadian and Downstream assets.

The statutory tax rate was 25.8% in 2012 (2011 – 27.3%). The decrease from 2011 to 2012 is due to a reduction in the 2012 Canadian corporate tax rates as part of a series of corporate tax rate reductions previously enacted by the Canadian federal government.

Shareholders have the option to receive dividends in common shares or in cash. Quarterly dividends may be declared in an amount expressed in dollars per common share and paid by way of issuance of a fraction of a common share per outstanding common share determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are traded. The volume weighted average trading price of the common shares is calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of common shares traded over the five trading day period immediately prior to the payment date of the dividend on the common shares.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company declared dividends payable of $1.20 per common share (2011 – $1.20 per common share), resulting in dividends of $1.2 billion (2011 – $1.1 billion). An aggregate of $557 million was paid in cash during 2012 (2011 – $495 million). At December 31, 2012, $295 million, including $293 million in cash and $2 million in common shares, was payable to shareholders on account of dividends declared on November 1, 2012 (December 31, 2011 – $287 million, including $87 million in cash and $200 million in common shares).

On March 18, 2011, the Company issued 12 million Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 1 (the “Series 1 Preferred Shares”) at a price of $25.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $300 million. Net proceeds after share issue costs were $291 million. The Series 1 Preferred Shares were offered by way of a prospectus supplement under the short form base shelf prospectus filed November 26, 2010 with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of Canada.
Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative quarterly fixed dividend yielding 4.45% annually for the initial period ending March 31, 2016, as and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be reset every five years at a rate equal to the 5-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 1.73%. Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares have the right, at their option, to convert their shares into Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 2 (the “Series 2 Preferred Shares”), subject to certain conditions, on March 31, 2016 and on March 31 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 2 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative quarterly floating rate dividend at a rate equal to the three-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield plus 1.73%, as and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive $25 per share. All accrued unpaid dividends will be paid before any amounts are paid or any assets of the Company are distributed to the holders of any other shares ranking junior to the Series 1 Preferred Shares. The holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company declared dividends payable of $13 million on the Series 1 Preferred Shares (2011 – $10 million) representing approximately $1.11 per Series 1 Preferred Share (2011 – $0.87 per Series 1 Preferred Share). At December 31, 2012, there were no amounts payable as dividends on the Series 1 Preferred Shares (December 31, 2011 – $3 million). A total of $17 million was paid during 2012 (2011 – $7 million), representing approximately $0.28 per Series 1 Preferred Share (2011 – $0.28 per Series 1 Preferred Share).
Stock Option Plan
Pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”), the Company may grant from time to time to officers and employees of the Company options to purchase common shares of the Company. The term of each option is five years and it vests one-third on each of the first three anniversary dates from the grant date. The Option Plan provides the option holder with the right to exercise the option to acquire one common share at the exercise price or surrender the option for a cash payment. The exercise price of the option is equal to the weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares during the five trading days prior to the grant date. For options granted up to 2009, when the option is surrendered for cash, the cash payment is the difference between the weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading day prior to the surrender date and the exercise price of the option. For options granted after 2009, when the option is surrendered for cash, the cash payment is the difference between the weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days following the surrender date and the exercise price of the option.
Certain options granted under the Option Plan and henceforth referred to as performance options vest only if certain shareholder return targets are met. The ultimate number of performance options that vest will depend upon the Company’s performance measured over three calendar years. If the Company’s performance is below the specified level compared with its industry peer group, the performance options awarded will be forfeited. If the Company’s performance is at or above the specified level compared with its industry peer group, the number of performance options exercisable shall be determined by the Company’s relative ranking. Stock compensation expense related to the performance options is accrued based on the price of the common shares at the end of the period and the anticipated performance factor. The term of each performance option is five years and the compensation expense is recognized over the three-year vesting period of the performance options. Performance options are no longer granted and the last grant was on August 7, 2009.
Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 was $57 million (December 31, 2011 – $16 million) representing the estimated fair value of options outstanding. The total expense recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income for the Option Plan for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $42 million (2011 – recovery of $2 million). At December 31, 2012, stock options exercisable for cash had an intrinsic value of $31 million (December 31, 2011 – nil).

The fair value of the share options is estimated at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options are granted and for the performance options, the current likelihood of achieving the specified target. The following table lists the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the two plans:

Weighted average fair value | 2.84 | 0.28 | 0.82 | 0.03 |
The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the expected life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

three years and the PSU vests on the second and third anniversary dates of the grant date in percentages determined by the Board of Directors based on the Company reaching certain shareholder return targets. Upon vesting, PSU holders receive a cash payment equal to the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five preceding trading days. As at December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the liability relating to PSUs was $11 million (December 31, 2011 – $1 million). The total expense recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income for the PSUs for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $12 million (2011 – expense of $1 million). The weighted average contractual life of the PSUs at December 31, 2012 was 2 years.

(1) | Stock-based compensation expense was $42 million based on cash-settlement for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2011 – recovery of $2 million). Stock-based compensation expense was $33 million based on equity-settlement for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2011 – expense of $28 million). For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash-settlement of share options was considered more dilutive than the equity-settlement of share options and as such, was used to calculate earnings per share – diluted. |
For the year ended December 31, 2012, 29 million tandem options and 1 million tandem performance options (2011 – 26 million tandem options and 7 million tandem performance options) were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as these options were anti-dilutive.

The average health care cost trend rate used for the benefit expense for the Canadian OPEB Plan was 7.0% for 2012, 2013 and 2014, grading 0.5% per year for four years to 5.0% in 2018 and thereafter. The average health care cost trend rate used for the obligation related to the Canadian OPEB Plan was 7.0% for 2012, 2013 and 2014, grading 0.5% per year for four years to 5.0% in 2018 and thereafter.
The average health care cost trend rate used for the benefit expense for the U.S. OPEB Plan was 8.0% for 2012 and 2013, and 7.0% for 2014, grading 0.5% per year for four years to 5.0% per year in 2018 and thereafter. The average health care cost trend rate used for the obligation related to the U.S. OPEB Plan was 8.0% for 2012 and 2013, and 7.0% for 2014, grading 0.5% per year for four years to 5.0% in 2018 and thereafter.
The medical cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on amounts reported for the OPEB plan. A one percent increase or decrease in the estimated trend rate would have the following effects:

Effect on benefit cost recognized in net earnings | 2 | (2 | ) | |||||
Effect on defined benefit obligation | 18 | (15 | ) |
The expected rate of return on the plan assets was determined based on management’s best estimate and the historical rates of return, adjusted periodically by asset category. The actual rate of return on plan assets for 2012 was 8% and 6% (2011 – 3% and 1%) for the Canadian and U.S. DB Pension Plans, respectively.
During 2012, the Company contributed $8 million (2011 – $10 million) to the defined benefit pension plan assets and is expecting to contribute $8 million in 2013. Benefits of $12 million are expected to be paid in 2013.
The Company adheres to a Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (the “Policy”). Plan assets are allocated in accordance with the long-term nature of the obligation and comprise a balanced investment based on interest rate and inflation sensitivities. The Policy explicitly prescribes diversification parameters for all classes of investment.

Table of Contents
The Company’s other financial instruments that are not related to derivatives, contingent consideration or hedging activities are included in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contribution receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, other long-term liabilities and contribution payable. These financial instruments are classified as loans and receivables or other financial liabilities and are carried at amortized cost. Excluding long-term debt, the carrying values of these financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.
The fair value of long-term debt represents the present value of future cash flows associated with the debt. Market information such as treasury rates and credit spreads are used to determine the appropriate discount rates. These fair value determinations are compared to quotes received from financial institutions to ensure reasonability. The estimated fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2012 was $4.6 billion (December 31, 2011 – $4.4 billion).

Table of Contents
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized into one of three categories based upon the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 fair value measurements are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Risk Management Overview
The Company is exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. It is also exposed to financial risks related to liquidity and credit and contract risks. In certain instances, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage the Company’s exposure to these risks. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposures to risk are in compliance with the Company’s business objectives and risk tolerance levels.
Responsibility for risk management is held by the Company’s Board of Directors and is implemented and monitored by senior management within the Company.
a) | Market Risk |
i) | Commodity Price Risk Management |
In certain instances, the Company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage exposure to price volatility on a portion of its oil and gas production and firm commitments for the purchase or sale of crude oil and natural gas.

The Company’s results will also be impacted by a decrease in the price of crude oil inventory. The Company has crude oil inventories that are feedstock, held at terminals, or part of the in-process inventories at its refineries and at offshore sites. These inventories are subject to a lower of cost or net realizable value test on a monthly basis.
ii) | Foreign Exchange Risk Management |
The Company’s results are affected by the exchange rates between various currencies, including the Canadian and U.S. dollar. The majority of the Company’s revenues are received in U.S. dollars or from the sale of oil and gas commodities that receive prices determined by reference to U.S. benchmark prices. An increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will decrease the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. Correspondingly, a decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. The majority of the Company’s expenditures are in Canadian dollars. The Company enters into short-dated foreign exchange contracts to fix the exchange rate for conversion of U.S. revenue dollars to hedge against these fluctuations and to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange risk.
A change in the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will also result in an increase or decrease in the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated debt, as expressed in Canadian dollars, as well as the related finance expense. In order to mitigate the Company’s exposure to long-term debt affected by the U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate, the Company may enter into cash flow hedges using cross currency debt swap arrangements. In addition, a portion of the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated debt has been designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation which has a U.S. dollar functional currency. The unrealized foreign exchange gain related to this hedge is recorded in OCI.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had designated U.S. $2.8 billion of its U.S. denominated debt as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in its U.S. refining operations (December 31, 2011 – U.S. $1.3 billion). Of this amount, U.S. $700 million was designated in the first quarter of 2012 and included the U.S. $500 million of the 3.95% senior unsecured notes issued on March 22, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, U.S. $800 million was designated, including U.S. $50 million of the 7.25% notes and U.S. $750 million of the 5.90% notes issued in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the unrealized loss arising from the translation of the debt was $15 million (2011 – loss of $18 million), net of tax of $2 million (2011 – $3 million), which was recorded in OCI. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $97 million recorded in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2011 - $80 million).
iii) | Interest Rate Risk Management |
Interest rate risk is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings, cash flows and valuations. To mitigate risk related to interest rates, the Company may enter into fair value hedges using interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2012, the balance in long-term debt related to deferred gains resulting from unwound interest rate swaps that were designated as a fair value hedge was $72 million (December 31, 2011 – $93 million). The amortization of the accrued gain upon terminating the interest rate swaps resulted in an offset to finance expenses of $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2011 – offset of $9 million).

Cash flow hedges may also be used to mitigate risk related to interest rates. At December 31, 2012, the Company had entered into a cash flow hedge using forward starting interest rate swap arrangements whereby the Company fixed the underlying U.S. 10-year Treasury Bond rate on U.S. $500 million to June 16, 2014, which is the Company’s forecasted debt issuance on the same date. The effective portion of these contracts has been recorded at fair value in other assets; there was no ineffective portion at December 31, 2012. The forward starting swaps have the following terms and fair value as at December 31, 2012:

vi) | Market Risk Sensitivity Analysis |
A sensitivity analysis for commodities, foreign currency exchange, and interest rate risks has been calculated by increasing or decreasing commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates as appropriate. These sensitivities represent the increase or decrease in earnings before income taxes resulting from changing the relevant rates with all other variables held constant. These sensitivities have only been applied to financial instruments and related inventories held at fair value. The Company’s process for determining these sensitivities has not changed during the year.

b) | Financial Risk |
i) | Liquidity Risk Management |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The Company’s processes for managing liquidity risk include ensuring, to the extent possible, that it has access to multiple sources of capital including cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, undrawn credit facilities, and availability to raise capital from various debt capital markets under its shelf prospectuses. The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets, which are monitored and updated as required. In addition, the Company requires authorizations for expenditures on projects, which assists with the management of capital.
Since the Company operates in the upstream oil and gas industry, it requires significant cash to fund capital programs necessary to maintain or increase production, develop reserves, acquire strategic oil and gas assets, repay maturing debt and pay dividends. The Company’s upstream capital programs are funded principally by cash provided from operating activities and issuances of debt and equity. During times of low oil and gas prices, a portion of capital programs can generally be deferred. However, due to the long cycle times and the importance to future cash flow of maintaining the Company’s production, it may be necessary to utilize alternative sources of capital to continue the Company’s strategic investment plan during periods of low commodity prices. As a result, the Company frequently evaluates the options available with respect to sources of short and long-term capital resources. Occasionally, the Company will economically hedge a portion of its production to protect cash flow in the event of commodity price declines.

In addition to the credit facilities listed above, the Company had unused capacity under the universal short form base shelf prospectus filed in Canada of $3.0 billion and unused capacity under the universal short form base shelf prospectus filed in the United States of U.S. $1.5 billion. The unused capacity of two Canadian shelf prospectuses expired in 2012. The unused capacity of $300 million under the debt shelf prospectus filed in Canada in December 2009 expired in January 2012 and the unused capacity of $1.4 billion under the debt shelf prospectus filed in Canada in November 2010 expired in December 2012. The ability of the Company to raise additional capital utilizing these prospectuses is dependent on market conditions.
The Company believes it has sufficient funding through the use of these facilities and access to the capital markets to meet its future capital requirements.
The following are the contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities as at December 31, 2012:

The Company’s contribution payable pursuant to the joint arrangement with BP is payable between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2015, with the final balance due and payable by December 31, 2015. Refer to Note 8 and Note 20 for additional contractual obligations.
ii) | Credit and Contract Risk Management |
Credit and contract risk represent the financial loss that the Company would suffer if a counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its obligations in accordance with the agreed terms. The Company actively manages its exposure to credit and contract execution risk from both a customer and a supplier perspective. The Company’s accounts receivables are broad based with customers in the energy industry and midstream and end user segments and are subject to normal industry risks. The Company’s policy to mitigate credit risk includes granting credit limits consistent with the financial strength of the counterparties and customers, requiring financial assurances as deemed necessary, reducing the amount and duration of credit exposures and close monitoring of all accounts. The Company did not have any external customers that constituted more than 10% of gross revenues during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, with the exception of the Company’s joint venture partner BP, relating to revenues from the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash bank balances and short-term deposits maturing in less than three months. The Company manages the credit exposure related to short-term investments by monitoring exposures daily on a per issuer basis relative to predefined investment limits.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and contribution receivable represent the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

Note 23 Capital Disclosures
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk, and to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments as economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets change. The Company considers its capital structure to include shareholders’ equity and debt which at December 31, 2012 was $23.1 billion (December 31, 2011 – $21.7 billion). To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may, from time to time, issue shares, raise debt and/or adjust its capital spending to manage its current and projected debt levels.
The Company monitors capital based on the current and projected ratios of debt to cash flow (defined as total debt divided by cash flow – operating activities plus non-cash charges before settlement of asset retirement obligations, income taxes paid, interest received and changes in non-cash working capital) and debt to capital employed (defined as total debt divided by total debt and shareholders’ equity). The Company’s objective is to maintain a debt to capital employed target of less than 25% and a debt to cash flow ratio of less than 1.5 times. At December 31, 2012, debt to capital employed was 17% (December 31, 2011 – 18%) which was below the long-term range, providing the financial flexibility to fund the Company’s capital program and profitable growth opportunities. At December 31, 2012, debt to cash flow was 0.8 times (December 31, 2011 – 0.8 times). The ratio may increase at certain times as a result of capital spending. To facilitate the management of this ratio, the Company prepares annual budgets, which are updated depending on varying factors such as general market conditions and successful capital deployment. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company’s share capital is not subject to external restrictions; however, the syndicated credit facilities include a debt to cash flow covenant. The Company was fully compliant with these covenants at December 31, 2012.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management from the previous year.
Note 24 Government Grants
The Company has government assistance programs in place where it receives funding based on ethanol production and sales from the Lloydminster and Minnedosa ethanol plants from the Department of Natural Resources and the Government of Manitoba. The programs expire in 2015 and applications for funding are submitted quarterly. During 2012, the Company received $40 million (2011 – $38 million) under these programs. The grants accrued for operational purposes have been recorded as revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

2.0 | Husky Business Overview |
Husky Energy Inc. (“Husky” or the “Company”) is one of Canada’s largest integrated energy companies. It is based in Calgary, Alberta, and is publicly traded on the TSX under the symbols HSE and HSE.PR.A. The Company operates in Western Canada, the United States, the Asia Pacific Region and the Atlantic Region with Upstream and Downstream business segments. Husky’s balanced growth strategy focuses on consistent execution, disciplined financial management and safe and reliable operations.
During 2012, the Company completed an evaluation of activities of the Company’s former Midstream segment as a service provider to the Upstream or Downstream operations. As a result, and consistent with the Company’s strategic view of its integrated business, the previously reported Midstream segment activities are aligned and reported within the Company’s core exploration and production, or within upgrading and refining businesses. The Company believes this change in segment presentation allows management and third parties to more effectively assess the Company’s performance. The current period and 2011 year results have been revised to conform to the new segment presentation.

3.0 | The 2012 Business Environment |
Husky’s operations are significantly influenced by domestic and international business environment factors. The global crude oil and liquid fuel industry is impacted by various factors, including those encountered during 2012, that are anticipated to continue to impact the industry to varying degrees into 2013 and beyond. Business factors impacting Husky’s industry during 2012 include but are not limited to the following:
• | The proliferation of shale oil plays in the Bakken, the Permian and the Eagle Ford have outpaced EIA production forecasts for the U.S.; |
• | Key takeaway capacity constraints still exist for Western Canadian crudes in North America causing a widening of differentials of these crudes relative to key benchmarks such as West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”); |
• | Pricing benchmarks for crude oil and natural gas and underlying market supply and demand drivers; |
• | Political unrest in the Middle East have caused continued unplanned production outages having an impact on crude oil benchmark pricing; |
• | Expected continued production growth in both U.S. shale oil formations and from the Western Canadian oil sands with approximately 260 bitumen projects in progress at various stages from research to exploration, development and completion; |
• | Industry advancement in alternate and improved extraction methods have rapidly evolved North American and international on-shore and offshore activity; |
• | All-time high U.S. natural gas inventories with increased production from shale gas and liquids-rich gas plays have resulted in downward pressure on North American natural gas pricing; |
• | Economic conditions remain uncertain as national indebtedness among countries continues to impact global GDP growth; |
• | Continued global economic uncertainty has led to a tightening of investment, creating greater competition among companies within capital markets; |
• | Increasing globalization, larger projects with major partners, and economies of scale; |
• | Strong demand for natural gas in Asian markets has led to robust gas pricing in the region; |
• | Domestic and international political, regulatory and tax system changes; and |
• | A continuing emphasis on environmental, health and safety, enterprise risk management, resource sustainability and corporate social responsibility. |
Major business factors are considered in the formulation of Husky’s short and longer term business strategy.
The Company is exposed to a number of risks inherent to the exploration, development, production, marketing, transportation, storage and sale of crude oil, liquids-rich gas and natural gas and related products. For a discussion on Risks and Risk Management see Section 7.0 and the 2012 Annual Information Form.

As an integrated producer, Husky’s profitability is largely determined by realized prices for crude oil and natural gas, marketing margins on committed pipeline capacity and refinery processing margins, including the effect of changes in the U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate. All of Husky’s crude oil production and the majority of its natural gas production receive the prevailing market price. The market price for crude oil is determined largely by North American and global factors and is beyond the Company’s control. The price for natural gas is determined more by North American fundamentals since virtually all natural gas production in North America is consumed by North American customers, predominantly in the United States. Weather conditions also exert a significant effect on short-term supply and demand.
The Downstream segment is heavily impacted by the price of crude oil and natural gas. The largest cost factor in the Downstream segment is crude oil feedstock, a portion of which is heavy crude oil. In the upgrading business segment, heavy crude oil feedstock is processed into light synthetic crude oil. Husky’s U.S. refining operations process a mix of different types of crude oil from various sources but are primarily light sweet crude oil at the Lima Refinery and approximately 50% heavy crude oil feedstock at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery. The Company’s refined products business in Canada relies primarily on purchased refined products for resale in the retail distribution network. Refined products are acquired from other Canadian refiners at rack prices or exchanged with production from the Husky Prince George Refinery.

Crude Oil
The price Husky receives for production from Western Canada is primarily driven by changes in the price of WTI and discounts or premiums to Western Canadian crude prices while the majority of the Company’s production in the Atlantic Region and the Asia Pacific Region is referenced to the price of Brent, an imported light sweet benchmark crude oil produced in the North Sea. The price of WTI ended 2012 at U.S. $94.19/bbl compared to U.S. $98.83/bbl on December 31, 2011, and averaged U.S. $94.21/bbl in 2012 compared with U.S. $95.12/bbl in 2011. The price of Canadian light crude ended 2012 at $74.32/bbl compared to $98.19/bbl on December 31, 2011 and averaged $86.57/bbl in 2012 compared with $95.32/bbl in 2011. The price of Brent ended 2012 at U.S. $111.66/bbl, compared to U.S. $106.51/bbl on December 31, 2011, and averaged U.S. $111.54/bbl in 2012 compared with U.S. $111.27/bbl in 2011.
A portion of Husky’s crude oil production is classified as either heavy crude oil or bitumen, which trades at a discount to light crude oil. In 2012, 54% of Husky’s crude oil production was heavy crude oil or bitumen compared with 47% in 2011. The increase in the 2012 heavy oil to total crude oil production weighting was due to lower light crude oil production from the Atlantic Region where two planned offstation turnarounds for the SeaRose and Terra Nova floating, production, storage and offloading vessels (“FPSO”) were completed combined with increased production from new heavy oil thermal projects. The light/heavy crude oil differential averaged U.S. $21.46/bbl or 23% of WTI in 2012 compared to U.S. $17.44/bbl or 18% of WTI in 2011.

Natural Gas
In 2012, 31% of Husky’s total oil and gas production was natural gas compared with 32% in 2011. The near-month natural gas price quoted on the NYMEX ended 2012 at U.S. $3.35/mmbtu compared with U.S. $2.99/mmbtu at December 31, 2011. During 2012, the NYMEX near-month contract price of natural gas averaged U.S. $2.79/mmbtu compared with U.S. $4.04/mmbtu in 2011.
Foreign Exchange
The majority of the Company’s revenues from the sale of oil and gas commodities receive prices determined by reference to U.S. benchmark prices. The majority of the Company’s expenditures are in Canadian dollars. A decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar increases the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. Correspondingly, an increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar decreases the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. The majority of the Company’s long-term debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. A decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar increases the principal amount owing on long-term debt at maturity and the associated interest payments. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates impact the translation of the foreign operations of the U.S. Downstream segment and the Asia Pacific Region.
The Canadian dollar ended 2011 at U.S. $0.983 and closed at U.S. $1.005 on December 31, 2012. In 2012, the Canadian dollar averaged U.S. $1.001 weakening by 1% compared with U.S. $1.011 during 2011. In 2012, the price of WTI in U.S. dollars decreased by 1% and nil in Canadian dollars when compared to 2011 with the weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar offsetting the movement in crude oil prices.

Refining Crack Spreads
The 3:2:1 refining crack spread is the key indicator for refining margins as refinery gasoline output is approximately twice the distillate output. This crack spread is equal to the price of two-thirds of a barrel of gasoline plus one-third of a barrel of fuel oil (distillate) less one barrel of crude oil. Market crack spreads are based on quoted near-month contracts for WTI and spot prices for gasoline and diesel, and do not necessarily reflect the actual crude oil purchase costs or product configuration of a specific refinery. Each refinery has a unique crack spread depending on several variables. Realized refining margins are affected by the product configuration of each refinery, crude oil feedstock, product slates, transportation costs to benchmark hubs and by the time lag between the purchase and delivery of crude oil, which is accounted for on a first in first out (“FIFO”) basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The New York Harbor 3:2:1 refining crack spread benchmark is calculated as the difference between the price of a barrel of WTI crude oil and the sum of the price of two-thirds of a barrel of reformulated gasoline and the price of one-third of a barrel of heating oil. The Chicago 3:2:1 refining crack spread benchmark is calculated based on WTI, regular unleaded gasoline and ultra low sulphur diesel.
During 2012, the New York Harbor 3:2:1 refining crack spread averaged U.S. $31.36/bbl compared with U.S. $25.26/bbl in 2011 and the Chicago 3:2:1 crack spread averaged U.S. $27.63/bbl in 2012 compared with U.S. $24.65/bbl in 2011.
The following table is indicative of the relative annualized effect on pre-tax earnings and net earnings from changes in certain key variables in 2012. The table below shows what the effect would have been on 2012 financial results had the indicated variable increased by the notional amount. The analysis is based on business conditions and production volumes during 2012. Each separate item in the sensitivity analysis shows the effect of an increase in that variable only; all other variables are held constant. While these sensitivities are applicable for the period and magnitude of changes on which they are based, they may not be applicable in other periods, under other economic circumstances or greater magnitudes of change.

4.0 | Strategic Plan |
Husky’s strategy is to maintain and enhance production in its Heavy Oil and Western Canada foundation as it repositions these areas toward thermal developments and resource plays, while advancing its three major growth pillars in the Asia Pacific Region, Oil Sands and in the Atlantic Region. The Company’s Downstream assets provide specialized support to its Upstream operations to enhance efficiency and extract additional value from production.
Husky’s strategic direction by business segment is summarized as follows:
4.1 | Upstream |
Husky has a substantial portfolio of assets in Western Canada. New technologies are making it possible to economically access new pools and recover more production from existing reservoirs. The Company is active in the exploration and production of heavy oil, light crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The Western Canada strategy is comprised of maintaining production while refocusing by growing oil resource plays, directing capital into liquids-rich natural gas plays and expanding thermal and horizontal drilling in heavy oil. Approximately two-thirds of Upstream production is oil-weighted. Husky is advancing its oil resource play position with activities in the Bakken, Viking, Cardium, Lower Shaunavon, Muskwa and Canol formations, with approximately 800,000 net acres of oil resource play inventory. Husky also has a large position in Western Canada gas resource plays, with approximately 1,000,000 net acres associated with both liquids-rich and dry gas positions.
Husky has an extensive portfolio of oil sands leases, encompassing 2,500 square kilometers in northern Alberta. Husky has advanced the development of the Sunrise Energy Project, which is a multiple stage, in-situ oil sands development with first phase construction and drilling having commenced in 2011. The first phase, which represents a $2.7 billion investment, is expected to produce approximately 60,000 barrels per day with anticipated first production beginning in 2014. Husky’s working interest is 50%. Sunrise will use proven steam-assisted gravity drainage (“SAGD”) technology, keeping site disturbance to a minimum.
The Asia Pacific Region consists of the Wenchang oil field, the Liwan Gas Project (“Block 29/26”) located offshore China and the Madura Strait block BD, MDA and MBH development fields offshore Indonesia. The Liwan 3-1 field in Block 29/26, located approximately 300 kilometers southeast of Hong Kong, is an important component of the Company’s near term production growth strategy and a key step in accessing the burgeoning energy markets in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Husky has partnered with China National Offshore Oil Corporation (“CNOOC”) on the development, with first gas production anticipated in late 2013/early 2014. In addition to the producing Wenchang oil field, the natural gas discoveries on Block 29/26 and growth opportunities in Indonesia, including the BD, MDA and MBH developments in the Madura Strait Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”), represent growth areas for Husky in the Asia Pacific Region.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2012

Table of Contents
The Atlantic Region continues to be a focus area with current production of approximately 48,000 bbls/day of crude oil. The Company holds interests in eight Production Licences, 17 Exploration Licences and 23 Significant Discovery Areas. Development activity at the White Rose core field and its satellites, including North Amethyst and the West and South White Rose extensions continues to advance. Husky also holds significant exploration acreage in the Atlantic Region. Work is progressing to identify innovative ways to further develop the significant resources in the region.
The Infrastructure and Marketing business unit supports Upstream production while providing integration with the Company’s Downstream assets through optimization of market access for Husky’s upstream production.
4.2 | Downstream |
Downstream supports heavy oil and oil sands production and makes prudent reinvestments in respect of feedstock, product and market access feasibility. Husky plans to continue to pursue projects to optimize, integrate and reconfigure the Lima, Ohio Refinery for additional crude oil feedstock and product flexibility and reconfigure and increase capacity at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery to accommodate Sunrise production as its primary feedstock. The Company also plans to expand terminal pipeline access and product storage opportunities to enhance market access.
4.3 | Financial |
Husky is committed to ensuring sufficient liquidity, financial flexibility and access to long-term capital to fund the Company’s growth and support dividend payments. Husky maintains undrawn committed term credit facilities, with a portfolio of creditworthy financial institutions and other sources of liquidity to provide timely access to funding to supplement cash flow.
Husky intends to continue to maintain a strong balance sheet to provide financial flexibility. The Company’s target is to maintain a debt to cash flow ratio of under 1.5 times and a debt to capital employed ratio of under 25%, which are both non-GAAP measures (refer to Section 11.3). Husky is committed to retaining its investment grade credit ratings to support access to debt capital markets.
The significant asset base in the Company’s foundational businesses in Western Canada provides a steady source of cash flow to reinvest in its growth projects, including the Asia Pacific Region, the Oil Sands and the Atlantic Region of Canada. As these significant growth projects are developed, the Company expects that they will provide steady sources of cash for the Company.
5.0 | Key Growth Highlights |
The 2012 Capital Program supported the repositioning of the Heavy Oil and Western Canada foundation by accelerating near-term production growth and advancing Husky’s three major growth pillars in the Asia Pacific Region, the Oil Sands and the Atlantic Region.
5.1 | Upstream |
Western Canada (excluding Heavy Oil and Oil Sands)
Husky continued to progress crude oil and liquids-rich gas resource plays as a core element of its Western Canada foundation. Total production from these resource plays at the end of 2012 was approximately 20,000 bbls/day, representing a 70% increase compared to 2011.

The liquids-rich gas formations at Ansell in west central Alberta continue to be a key area of focus with 55 Cardium and three Wilrich wells on production at the end of 2012.
At the Duvernay play in Kaybob, Alberta, a third horizontal well was completed in 2012 and commenced production in January 2013. In December 2012, the first well on a four well pad of horizontal wells was spud and drilling continues in 2013. A previously completed well is expected to be tied-in during the first quarter of 2013.
Alkaline Surfactant Polymer Floods
Construction was completed on the Fosterton, Saskatchewan Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (“ASP”) facility in 2012. Husky is the operator and holds a 62% working interest in this project. Chemical injection has commenced with initial production response expected in the second half of 2013.
Heavy Oil
Production commenced in the second quarter of 2012 ahead of schedule at both the Pikes Peak South and Paradise Hill heavy oil thermal projects and has ramped up to levels exceeding the combined 11,500 bbls/day design rate capacity. Average production levels of approximately 12,000 bbls/day at Pikes Peak South and 5,000 bbls/day at Paradise Hill heavy oil thermal projects were achieved during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Construction is approximately 40% complete at the 3,500 bbls/day Sandall thermal development project and initial drilling has commenced. First production is scheduled in 2014.
Design and initial site work is continuing at the 10,000 bbls/day Rush Lake commercial project with first production anticipated in 2015. Production performance from the first single well pair pilot is in line with expectations and a second well pair pilot is planned to commence production in the second quarter of 2013. Initial planning is ongoing for three additional commercial thermal projects.
The Company advanced its horizontal drilling program in 2012 with the completion of 144 wells. Based on the positive performance of previous horizontal drilling programs, Husky is continuing this program by planning to drill approximately 140 wells in 2013. The Company also drilled 250 gross cold heavy oil production with sand (“CHOPS”) wells during 2012. In 2013, 200 CHOPS wells are planned.
A carbon dioxide (“CO2”) capture and liquefaction plant at the Lloydminster Ethanol Plant was commissioned and started producing liquid CO2 in March 2012. The liquefied CO2 from this facility is used in the ongoing solvent EOR piloting program.

China
The Overall Development Plan (“ODP”) for the Liwan Gas Project development on Block 29/26 in the South China Sea has been approved by the Chinese Government. The development project is now more than 80% complete and remains on track to achieve planned first production in late 2013/early 2014.
Two further upper completions in the Liwan 3-1 gas field were installed and flow tested successfully at the expected production rates bringing the total of fully ready production wells to seven. All nine subsea production trees have been installed on the wells and eight associated upper completions have also been installed.
At the end of 2012, approximately 90 kilometers of the two 79-kilometer deep water pipelines connecting the gas field to the central platform have been laid and approximately 190 kilometers out of 261 kilometers of shallow water pipeline have been laid from the central platform to the onshore gas plant. Pipe laying activity is planned to resume in 2013.
The completed jacket for the shallow water central platform was transported from the Qingdao construction yard in Eastern China to its final offshore location in the South China Sea and was successfully launched from the transport barge onto the ocean floor on August 30, 2012. Piling to anchor the feet of the jacket to the seabed has also been completed. Fabrication of the platform topsides is progressing and the floatover of the topsides for the central platform is planned for mid-2013.

The 850-tonne Monoethylene Glycol Recovery Unit has been delivered to the Qingdao, Eastern China topsides construction site and the approximately 850 tonne unit has been elevated and set into its final installation position on the upper deck. Generators and compressors have also been positioned on the deck. Construction of control rooms, living areas and other facilities are in their final stages.
The contract for the use of the West Hercules deepwater drilling rig expired in July 2012. The deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig, Hai Yang Shi You 981, has been contracted to continue the deepwater development project.
Construction of the onshore gas plant is also progressing on schedule. Site preparations and foundations are largely complete including the completion of a seawall on the eastern side of the site. Nine of ten spherical liquids storage tanks are in place and the construction of pipe racks for transporting gas through the site is progressing. Construction of control and administrative buildings as well as living areas has commenced.
Development of the single well Liuhua 34-2 field is planned to proceed in parallel with, and be tied into the development of, the Liwan 3-1 field. Front end engineering design (“FEED”) for the development of the Liuhua 29-1 gas field has now been completed, and the ODP is being prepared. Negotiations for the sale of the gas from the Liuhua 34-2 and Liuhua 29-1 fields are ongoing.
On Block 63/05 in the Qiongdongnan Basin, Husky and CNOOC have agreed to the termination of the contract after completion of the first phase of the exploration period. Accordingly, the Company has no further obligation with respect to this block.
Taiwan
In December, Husky signed a joint venture contract with CPC Corporation, Taiwan for an exploration block in the South China Sea. The exploration block is located 100 kilometers southwest of the island of Taiwan and covers approximately 10,000 square kilometers. Husky holds a 75% working interest during exploration, while CPC Corporation has the right to participate in the development program up to a 50% interest. Under the joint venture contract, Husky has an obligation to carry out 2-D seismic surveys within the first two years, with options to carry out 3-D seismic surveys and to drill at least one exploration well in subsequent exploration periods.
Indonesia
The 2012 exploration drilling program on the Madura Strait Block concluded in October with four new discoveries made as a result of a five well exploration drilling program. These discoveries are now under evaluation for commercial development.
The development plan for a combined MDA and MBH development project was approved in 2013 by SKK Migas, the industry regulator. As agreed with the regulator, a re-tender process for the BD field FPSO was conducted and pre-qualification responses are being evaluated. First gas from the Madura Strait Block is anticipated in the 2015 time frame.
Oil Sands
Sunrise Energy Project
Husky and BP continue to advance the development of the Sunrise Energy Project in multiple stages. During 2012, drilling of the planned SAGD horizontal well pairs for Phase 1 was completed and site construction and equipment installations were substantially advanced. Phase 1 of the 60,000 bbls/day (30,000 bbls/day net) project remains on track for first production in 2014.
Substantial cost certainty on the first phase of the Sunrise Energy Project was achieved in 2012 with the conversion to a lump sum contract for the Central Processing Facility (“CPF”). Over 85% of the costs for Phase 1 are now fixed and incorporate all significant contract conversions and facility and efficiency design improvements. To date, approximately 65% of the project’s total cost estimate has been spent.

The CPF is approaching 50% completion with piling substantially completed and foundation work proceeding at the site. Major equipment continues to be delivered and placed into position with approximately half of the modules fabricated and moved to the site. Construction for the field facilities is now more than 80% complete with significant activity currently underway, including pipelining in the field and fabrication in the module shops.
Development work continues on the next phase of the project with the Design Basis Memorandum expected to be completed in 2013. Regulatory approvals are in place for a total of 200,000 bbls/day (100,000 bbls/day net).
Tucker
Production rates at Husky’s Tucker Oil Sands Project have remained stable at approximately 10,000 bbls/day in 2012. Production from the Grand Rapids pilot well pair commenced in the first quarter of 2012. Based on positive performance from the pilot, Husky initiated drilling of an additional five Grand Rapids well pairs in November 2012 with production expected in 2013.
Saleski
A regulatory application for the bitumen carbonates pilot is anticipated to be filed in 2013.
McMullen
During 2012, seven evaluation wells were drilled and 32 slant wells were drilled, equipped and placed on production in the cold production development project. At the end of 2012, production from McMullen was 4,600 bbls/day and development activity is continuing.
Atlantic Region
White Rose Field and Satellite Extensions
Development continued at the White Rose field with the addition of an infill production well which was brought online in August 2012. As at the end of 2012, a total of 22 wells, including nine producing wells, ten water injectors, and three gas injectors were in operation. Future infill wells are being evaluated.
The Husky-operated SeaRose FPSO completed its planned maintenance dry-docking in Belfast, Northern Ireland with zero lost-time incidents and ahead of schedule with production resuming on August 13, 2012 approximately three weeks ahead of plan. Production from the White Rose field and satellite extensions returned to expected levels by the end of the third quarter of 2012.
A development plan amendment was filed with the regulator in October 2012 to facilitate development of resources at the South White Rose Extension. This region will be developed via subsea tieback to the SeaRose FPSO, similar to the North Amethyst satellite extension. A new drill centre to support the development was excavated during the third quarter of 2012 and drilling of a gas injection well is scheduled to commence in 2013.
At North Amethyst, development continued in 2012 with the addition of the fourth production well. At the end of 2012, four production and three water injection wells were on-line. An additional water injector well is scheduled to be drilled in 2013. An application to develop the deeper Hibernia formation at North Amethyst is progressing through the regulatory review process.
A water injection well to support the existing producing well for the West White Rose pilot project was completed and brought online during 2012. Evaluation of a wellhead platform to facilitate future development continued during 2012 and supporting regulatory filings were submitted for an environmental assessment of the concept. A decision on a preferred development option is expected in 2013.
Drilling of the Searcher prospect in the southern Jeanne D’Arc Basin did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons and the well was expensed in 2012.
Husky and Seadrill entered into a five-year contract for the use of Seadrill’s West Mira rig, a new harsh environment semi-submersible rig currently being built and expected to be completed in 2015.

Atlantic Exploration
The Company was awarded exploration rights to a 208,899 hectare parcel of land offshore Newfoundland during the November 2012 licencing round. The licence is located in the Flemish Pass and is east of and adjacent to existing land holdings in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin. Husky has a 40% working interest and future exploration is currently being evaluated.
The Company plans to participate in a number of operated and non-operated exploratory wells in the Atlantic Region during the 2013/2014 timeframe. The first well in this program is a partner-operated exploration well southeast of the Mizzen discovery located in the Flemish Pass.
Offshore Greenland
A two-year extension was received on the initial phase of the exploration program for two Husky-operated exploration licenses offshore Greenland. Geological and geophysical evaluations continued in 2012 and socio-economic study work is continuing.
Infrastructure and Marketing
Through the Company’s continued development of both proprietary infrastructure and contracted pipeline commitments, it is able to access higher priced crude oil markets, partially offset Western Canadian differentials, and provide crude feedstock flexibility for the Lima Refinery, enabling the optimization of the crude slate in terms of quality, location and price.
A new 300,000 barrel tank at the Hardisty terminal was placed in service May 2012. The tank facilitates moving crude oil volumes to U.S. Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (“PADD”) II and III markets.

The Company’s total production for the year ended December 31, 2012 was within production guidance set by the Company in 2011. Husky expects that production levels in 2013 will be higher compared to 2012 due to a full year of production from the Atlantic Region where the Company and its partners executed two major maintenance turnarounds of the SeaRose and Terra Nova FPSOs. In 2010, the Company set a compound annual production growth target of 3% to 5% through the plan period 2010-2015 and is on track to achieve that goal. In 2012, a new target was set for the plan period of 2012 to 2017 at an increased compound annual production growth rate of 5% to 8%.
Factors that could potentially impact Husky’s production performance for 2013 include, but are not limited to:
• | performance on recently commissioned facilities, new wells brought onto production and unanticipated reservoir response from existing fields; |
• | unplanned or extended maintenance and turnarounds at any of the Company’s operated or non-operated facilities, upgrading, refining, pipeline, or offshore assets; |
• | business interruptions due to unexpected events such as severe weather, fires, blowouts, freeze-ups, equipment failures, unplanned and extended pipeline shutdowns and other similar events; |
• | significant declines in crude oil and natural gas commodity prices which may result in the decision to temporarily shut-in production; and |
• | foreign operations and related assets which are subject to a number of political, economic and socio-economic risks. |
Royalties
Royalty rates averaged 11% of gross revenues in 2012 compared with 16% in 2011. Royalty rates in Western Canada averaged 10% in 2012 compared with 14% in 2011 due to lower natural gas prices and royalty credit adjustments. In the Atlantic Region, the average rate was 11% in 2012 compared with 17% in 2011 due to higher eligible costs associated with the SeaRose FPSO offstation and lower Terra Nova production which is subject to higher royalty rates. Royalty rates in the Asia Pacific Region averaged 24% in 2012 compared with 30% in 2011 mainly due to reductions in windfall profit taxes that became effective in November of 2011.

Operating costs in Western Canada increased to $15.45/boe in 2012 compared with $15.35/boe in 2011 primarily due to higher fuel and labour costs offset by higher heavy oil production, lower treating costs and decreased maintenance costs.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2012
20
Table of Contents
Operating costs in the Atlantic Region averaged $17.12/boe in 2012 compared with $8.75/boe in 2011. The increase was mainly due to higher maintenance costs and lower production as a result of the planned maintenance of the SeaRose and Terra Nova FPSOs.
Operating costs in the Asia Pacific Region averaged $10.08/boe in 2012 compared with $8.08/boe in 2011 due to higher maintenance, fuel, workover and helicopter costs.

Total exploration and evaluation expenses decreased in 2012 to $350 million from $470 million in 2011. The decrease in seismic, geological and geophysical expense was primarily due to a shift in focus in 2012 to more development activities in Western Canada compared with 2011. Expensed drilling in 2012 primarily consisted of drilling in the Northwest Territories to gain a general understanding of geological formations, and costs related to the Searcher well in the Atlantic Region and the MAQ-1 well in the Madura Strait of Indonesia, neither of which encountered economic quantities of hydrocarbons. Expensed drilling and land costs in 2011 included acquisition and drilling costs expensed for properties in the Columbia River Basin located in the states of Washington and Oregon.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization (“DD&A”) and Impairment
During 2012, total unit DD&A was $19.20/boe compared with $17.69/boe during 2011. The higher DD&A rate in 2012 was primarily due to a shift in focus by the Company to higher capital investments in oil and liquids-rich natural gas properties with higher netbacks than natural gas developments.
At December 31, 2012, capital costs in respect of unproved properties and major development projects were $6.1 billion compared with $5.3 billion at the end of 2011. These costs are excluded from the Company’s DD&A calculation until the unproved properties are evaluated and developed, proved reserves are attributed to the project or the project is deemed to be impaired.

The Company drilled 778 net wells in the Western Canada, Heavy Oil and Oil Sands business units in 2012 resulting in 745 net oil wells and 29 net natural gas wells compared with 878 net wells resulting in 805 net oil wells and 66 net natural gas wells in 2011.
Capital expenditures for wells drilled in Western Canada increased substantially in 2012 compared with 2011 due to the increased focus on resource play development drilling in areas such as the liquids-rich gas resource play in Ansell, a larger number of horizontal wells drilled and more multi-stage fracture completions performed.
During 2012, Husky invested $2,288 million on exploration, development and acquisitions, including heavy oil, throughout the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin compared with $2,894 million in 2011. Property acquisitions totalling $21 million were completed in 2012 compared with $874 million in 2011. Investment in oil related exploration and development was $538 million and $500 million was invested in natural gas resource plays during 2012 compared with $591 million for oil and $359 million in natural gas in 2011.
In addition, $245 million was spent on production optimization and cost reduction initiatives in 2012. Capital expenditures on facilities, land acquisition and retention and environmental protection totalled $398 million.

The 2013 Capital Program will enable Husky to build on the momentum achieved over the past two years and will support the acceleration of near-term production and the continued execution of the Company’s mid and long-term growth initiatives.
The Company has budgeted $800 million for the Asia Pacific Region in 2013, mainly for the Liwan Gas Project to complete the construction of the shallow water pipeline installations, the onshore gas plant and the topsides portion of the platform with planned first production in late 2013/early 2014. Oil Sands capital for 2013 will primarily be for the continued development of Phase 1 of the Sunrise Energy Project as well as planning, design and engineering for the next phase of the project. Investment in the Atlantic Region of $600 million is for continued development of the White Rose fields and extensions and evaluation of the feasibility of a concrete wellhead and drilling platform for the development of future resources, including the full development of West White Rose.
In addition to advancing mid and long-term growth pillars, the 2013 Capital Program provides support to the Company’s efforts to continue to reinvigorate and transform its foundation in Western Canada. A substantial oil and liquids-rich natural gas resource play portfolio has been acquired and further drilling is scheduled to take place across the portfolio in 2013. The Company is making progress in its strategy to transition a greater percentage of its heavy oil production to long-life thermal. The Company will continue its development of the 3,500 bbls/day Sandall thermal project with expected first production in 2014 and the 10,000 bbls/day Rush Lake thermal project with expected first production in 2015.
Upstream Turnarounds
The Husky-operated SeaRose FPSO completed its planned maintenance dry-docking in Belfast, Northern Ireland with zero lost-time incidents and ahead of schedule with production resuming on August 13, 2012, approximately three weeks ahead of plan. Production from the White Rose field and satellite extensions returned to expected levels by the end of the third quarter of 2012.

The non-operated Terra Nova FPSO resumed production in December following a planned 26-week turnaround shutdown and continues to ramp up more slowly than anticipated.
In third quarter of 2013, a one week turnaround is scheduled for the SeaRose FPSO. The Terra Nova FPSO turnaround plans for 2013 are being evaluated.
Oil and Gas Reserves
The following oil and gas reserves disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 51-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (“NI 51-101”) effective December 31, 2012. Husky received approval from the Canadian Securities Administrators to also disclose its reserves using U.S. disclosure requirements as supplementary disclosure to the reserves and oil and gas activities disclosure required by NI 51-101. The reserves information prepared in accordance with the U.S. disclosure requirements is included in the Company’s Form 40-F, which is available atwww.sec.gov or on the Company’s website atwww.huskyenergy.com.
The Company’s complete Oil and Gas Reserves Disclosure prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 is contained in Husky’s Annual Information Form, which is available atwww.sedar.com, or Husky’s Form 40-F, which is available atwww.sec.gov or on the Company’s website atwww.huskyenergy.com.
McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd., an independent firm of oil and gas reserves evaluation engineers, was engaged to conduct an audit of Husky’s crude oil, natural gas and natural gas products reserves. McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. issued an audit opinion stating that Husky’s internally generated proved and probable reserves and net present values are, in aggregate, reasonable, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted oil and gas engineering and evaluation practices as set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.
At December 31, 2012, Husky’s proved oil and gas reserves were 1,192 mmboe, up from 1,172 mmboe at the end of 2011. Addition to proved reserves, including acquisitions and divestitures, represents 140% (118% after economic revisions) of 2012 production. Major additions to proved reserves in 2012 included:
• | the initial booking of reserves in the Liwan 3-1 deepwater project that resulted in the addition of 51 mmboe of natural gas and natural gas liquids in proved undeveloped reserves; |
• | the improved recovery and expansion of heavy oil thermal projects that resulted in the booking of an additional 13 mmboe in proved reserves; and |
• | the extension through additional drilling locations at the liquids-rich Ansell project that resulted in the booking of an additional 27 mmboe of natural gas and natural gas liquids in proved reserves. |

Infrastructure and Marketing net earnings increased by $211 million compared with the same period in 2011 as a result of marketing activities utilizing the Company’s access to infrastructure to move crude oil from Canada to the United States to mitigate the impact of wider Western Canadian crude oil differentials on the Exploration and Production business by capturing widening Canadian crude discounts through integration.
Infrastructure and Marketing capital expenditures totalled $54 million in 2012 compared to $43 million in 2011. The majority of Infrastructure and Marketing capital expenditures during the year related to the completion of the 300,000 barrel tank at the Hardisty terminal and pipeline maintenance and integrity projects.

(1) | The Company reclassified certain hydrogen feedstock costs from operating and administrative expenses to cost of sales in the third quarter of 2012. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. |
(2) | Throughput includes diluent returned to the field. |
(3) | Based on throughput. |
The Upgrading operations add value by processing heavy sour crude oil into high value synthetic crude oil and low sulphur distillates. The Upgrader profitability is primarily dependent on the differential between the cost of heavy crude oil feedstock and the sales price of synthetic crude oil.
Upgrading earnings in 2012 were impacted by lower upgrading differentials resulting from lower synthetic crude oil prices offsetting lower heavy oil feedstock costs. Lower margins were offset by a decrease in the fair value of the remaining upside interest payment obligations included in other income and a decrease in depreciation and amortization as intangible costs were derecognized in the second quarter of 2011.
During 2012, the price of Husky’s synthetic crude oil averaged $91.90/bbl compared with the average cost of blended heavy crude oil from the Lloydminster area of $69.56/bbl. During 2011, the price of Husky’s synthetic crude oil averaged $101.68/bbl compared with an average cost of blended heavy crude oil from the Lloydminster area of $74.34/bbl. This resulted in an average synthetic/heavy crude differential of $22.34/bbl in 2012 compared to $27.34/bbl in 2011 and a gross unit margin of $25.17/bbl in 2012 compared to $29.18/bbl in 2011. The cost of upgrading averaged $5.42/bbl in 2012 compared to $5.87/bbl in 2011, which resulted in a net margin for upgrading heavy crude of $19.75/bbl, down 15% compared with $23.31/bbl in 2011. The decrease in Upgrading differentials, unit margins and net margins in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to Western Canadian synthetic crude oil prices which traded at a discount to WTI in 2012 compared to a premium to WTI in 2011. This new trend is mainly due to export pipeline constraints in Western Canada and new supply in the U.S. which has resulted in a decrease in demand for Western Canadian crude oil.

Refining gross margins increased in 2012 primarily due to higher refining market crack spreads and higher throughput and ethanol production compared to 2011. Included in ethanol gross margins in 2012 was $37 million related to government assistance grants compared with $46 million in 2011.
Asphalt gross margins increased compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher realized market prices and increased sales volumes for residuals as a result of strong demand for drilling fluids.
Higher operating and administration expenses were primarily due to increased maintenance activity in 2012 compared to 2011.

U.S. Refining and Marketing net earnings in 2012 were comparable to 2011. Stronger throughput at Lima and higher market crack spreads in 2012 compared to 2011 were offset by the impacts of FIFO accounting on realized margins, lower throughput at the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery due to turnaround activity and higher depreciation and amortization.
The Chicago crack spread market benchmark is based on last in first out (“LIFO”) accounting, which assumes that crude oil feedstock costs are based on the current month price of WTI, while crude oil feedstock costs included in realized margins are based on FIFO accounting which reflects purchases made earlier in the previous year when crude oil prices were higher. The estimated FIFO impact was a reduction in net earnings of approximately $28 million in 2012 compared to an increase in net earnings of $122 million in 2011.
In addition, the product slates produced at the Lima and Toledo refineries contain approximately 10% to 15% of other products that are sold at discounted market prices compared with gasoline and distillate, which are the standard products included in the Chicago 3:2:1 market crack spread benchmark.
Downstream Capital Expenditures
Downstream capital expenditures totalled $457 million for 2012 compared to $373 million in 2011. In Canada, capital expenditures were $144 million related to upgrades at the Prince George Refinery, the Upgrader and at retail stations. In the United States, capital expenditures totalled $313 million. At the Lima Refinery, $150 million was spent on various debottleneck projects, optimizations and environmental initiatives. At the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery, capital expenditures totalled $163 million (Husky’s 50% share) primarily for engineering work and procurement on the Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Reformer Project, facility upgrades and environmental protection initiatives.

7.0 | Risk and Risk Management |
7.1 | Enterprise Risk Management |
Husky’s enterprise risk management program supports decision-making via comprehensive and systematic identification and assessment of risks that could materially impact the results of the Company. Through this framework, the Company builds risk management and mitigation into strategic planning and operational processes for its business units through the adoption of standards and best practices. Husky has developed an enterprise risk matrix to identify risks to its people, the environment, its assets and its reputation, and to systematically mitigate these risks to an acceptable level.
The Company attempts to mitigate its financial, operational and strategic risks to an acceptable level through a variety of policies, systems and processes. The following provides a list of the most significant risks relating to Husky and its operations.
7.2 | Significant Risk Factors |
Operational, Environmental and Safety Incidents
Husky’s businesses are subject to inherent operational risks and hazards in respect of safety and the environment that require continuous vigilance. The Company seeks to minimize these operational risks and hazards by carefully designing and building its facilities and conducting its operations in a safe and reliable manner. However, failure to manage these operational risks and hazards effectively could result in unexpected incidents, including the release of restricted substances, fires, explosions, well blow-outs, marine catastrophe or mechanical failures and pipeline failures. The consequences of such events include personal injuries, loss of life, environmental damage, property damage, loss of revenues, fines, penalties, legal liabilities, disruption to operations, asset repair costs, remediation and reclamation costs, monitoring post-cleanup and/or reputational impacts which may affect the Company’s license to operate. Remediation may be complicated by a number of factors including shortages of specialized equipment or personnel, extreme operating environments and the absence of appropriate or proven countermeasures to effectively remedy such consequences. Emergency preparedness, business continuity and security policies and programs are in place for all operating areas, and are routinely exercised. The Company, in accordance with industry practice, maintains insurance coverage against losses from certain of these risks and hazards. Nonetheless, insurance proceeds may not be sufficient to cover all losses and insurance coverage may not be available for all types of operational risks and hazards.

Husky’s results of operations and financial condition are dependent on the prices received for its crude oil and natural gas production. Lower prices for crude oil and natural gas could adversely affect the value and quantity of Husky’s oil and gas reserves. Husky’s reserves include significant quantities of heavier grades of crude oil that trade at a discount to light crude oil. Heavier grades of crude oil are typically more expensive to produce, process, transport and refine into high value refined products. Refining and transportation capacity for heavy crude oil is limited and planned increases of North American heavy crude oil production may create the need for additional heavy oil refining and transportation capacity. As a result, wider price differentials could have adverse effects on Husky’s financial performance and condition, reduce the value and quantities of Husky’s heavier crude oil reserves and delay or cancel projects that involve the development of heavier crude oil resources. There is no guarantee that planned pipeline development projects will provide sufficient transportation capacity and access to refining capacity to accommodate expected increases in North American heavy crude oil production.

Prices for crude oil are based on world supply and demand. Supply and demand can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, actions taken by OPEC, non-OPEC crude oil supply, social conditions in oil producing countries, the occurrence of natural disasters, general and specific economic conditions, prevailing weather patterns and the availability of alternate sources of energy.
Husky’s natural gas production is currently located entirely in Western Canada and is, therefore, subject to North American market forces. North American natural gas supply and demand is affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of natural gas available to specific market areas either from the well head or from storage facilities, prevailing weather patterns, the price of crude oil, the U.S. and Canadian economies, the occurrence of natural disasters and pipeline restrictions.
In certain instances, the Company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage exposure to price volatility on a portion of its oil and gas production and firm commitments for the purchase or sale of crude oil and natural gas.
The fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices are beyond Husky’s control and accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flow. For information on 2012 commodity price sensitivities, refer to Section 3.0 within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Reservoir Performance Risk
Lower than projected reservoir performance on the Company’s key growth projects could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, medium to long-term business strategy and cash flow. Inaccurate appraisal of large project reservoirs could result in missed production, revenue and earnings targets and negatively affect the Company’s reputation, investor confidence and the Company’s ability to deliver on its growth strategy.
In order to maintain the Company’s future production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and maintain the value of the reserves portfolio, additional reserves must be added through discoveries, extensions, improved recovery, performance-related revisions and acquisitions. The production rate of oil and gas properties tends to decline as reserves are depleted while the associated unit operating costs increase. In order to mitigate the effects of this, the Company must undertake successful exploration and development programs, increase the recovery factor from existing properties through applied technology, and identify and execute strategic acquisitions of proved developed and undeveloped properties and unproved prospects. Maintaining an inventory of developable projects depends on, among other things, obtaining and renewing rights to explore, develop and produce oil and natural gas, drilling success, completing long-lead time capital intensive projects on budget and on schedule and the application of successful exploitation techniques on mature properties.
Restricted Market Access
Husky’s results depend upon the Company’s ability to deliver products to the most attractive markets. The Company’s results could be impacted by restricted market access resulting from a lack of pipeline or other transportation alternatives to attractive markets as well as regulatory and/or other marketplace barriers. With growing conventional and oil sands production across North America and limited availability of infrastructure to carry the Company’s products to the marketplace, oil and natural gas transportation capacity is expected to be restricted in the next few years. Restricted market access may potentially have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, medium to long-term business strategy, cash flow and corporate reputation.
Security and Terrorist Threats
A security threat or terrorist attack on a facility owned or operated by the Company could result in the interruption or cessation of key elements of its operations, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, business strategy and cash flow.

International Operations
International operations can expose the Company to uncertain political, economic and other risks. The Company’s operations in certain jurisdictions may be adversely affected by political, economic or social instability or events. These events may include, but are not limited to, onerous fiscal policy, renegotiation or nullification of agreements and PSCs, imposition of onerous regulation, changes in laws governing existing operations, financial constraints, including currency and exchange rate fluctuations, and unreasonable taxation. This could adversely affect the Company’s interest in its foreign operations and future profitability.
Gas Offtake
The potential inability to deliver an effective gas storage solution as inventories grow over the life of the White Rose field may potentially result in prolonged shutdown of these operations, which may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, business strategy and cash flow.
Skills and Human Resource Shortage
The Company recognizes that a robust, productive, and healthy workforce drives efficiency, effectiveness, and financial performance. Attracting and retaining qualified and skilled labour is critical to the successful execution of Husky’s current and future business strategies. However, a tight labour market, an insufficient number of qualified candidates, and an aging workforce are factors that precipitate a human resource risk for the Company. Failure to retain current employees and attract new skilled employees could materially affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business.
Major Project Execution
The Company manages a variety of major projects relating to oil and gas exploration, development and production. Risks associated with the execution of Husky’s major projects, as well as the commissioning and integration of new assets into its existing infrastructure, may result in cost overruns, project or production delays, and missed financial targets, thereby eroding project economics. Typical project execution risks include: the availability and cost of capital, inability to find mutually agreeable parameters with key project partners for large growth projects, availability of manufacturing and processing capacity, faulty construction and design errors, labour disruptions, bankruptcies, productivity issues affecting Husky directly or indirectly, unexpected changes in the scope of a project, health and safety incidents, need for government approvals or permits, unexpected cost increases, availability of qualified and skilled labour, availability of critical equipment, severe weather, and availability and proximity of pipeline capacity.
Partner Misalignment
Joint venture partners operate a portion of Husky’s assets in which the Company has an ownership interest. Husky is at times dependent upon its partners for the successful execution of various projects. If a dispute with partners were to occur over the development and operation of a project or if partners were unable to fund their contractual share of the capital expenditures, a Husky project may be delayed and the Company may be partially or totally liable for its partner’s share of the project.
Reserves Data, Future Net Revenue and Resource Estimates
The reserves data in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis represent estimates only. The accurate assessment of oil and gas reserves is critical to the continuous and effective management of the Company’s Upstream assets. Reserves estimates support various investment decisions about the development and management of resource plays. In general, estimates of economically recoverable crude oil and gas reserves and the future net cash flow therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as product prices, future operating and capital costs, historical production from the properties, and the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies, including with respect to royalty payments, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are to some degree uncertain and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable oil and gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues expected therefrom, prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times, may vary substantially. All reserves estimates involve a degree of ambiguity and, at times, rely on indirect measurement techniques to estimate the size and recoverability of the resource. While new technologies have increased the accuracy and efficacy of these techniques, there remains the potential for human or systemic error in recording and

reporting the magnitude of the Company’s oil and gas reserves. Inaccurate appraisal of large project reservoirs could result in missed production, revenue and earnings targets, and could negatively affect the Company’s reputation, investor confidence, and the Company’s ability to deliver on its growth strategy.
Government Regulation
Given the scope and complexity of Husky’s operations, the Company may be subject to regulation and intervention by governments at the federal, provincial, state and municipal levels in the countries in which it conducts its operations or exploratory activities. As these governments continually balance competing demands from different interest groups and stakeholders, the Company recognizes that the magnitude of regulatory risks has the potential to change over time. Changes in government policy, legislation or regulation could impact the Company’s existing and planned projects as well as impose costs of compliance, increase capital expenditures and operating expenses, and expose the Company to other risks including environmental and safety risks. Examples of the Company’s regulatory risks include, but are not limited to, uncertain or negative interactions with governments, uncertain energy policies, environmental and safety controls related to the reduction of greenhouse gasses and other emissions, penalties, taxes, royalties, government fees, reserves access, limitations or increase in costs relating to the exportation of commodities, restrictions on the acquisition of exploration and production rights and land tenure, expropriation or cancellation of PSCs and/or contract rights, limitations on control over the development and abandonment of fields, and loss of licenses to operate.
Environmental Regulation
Husky anticipates that changes in environmental legislation may require reductions in emissions from its operations and result in increased capital expenditures. Further changes in environmental legislation could occur, which may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liabilities, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on Husky’s financial condition and results of operations.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has led to numerous public and governmental expressions of concern about the safety and potential environmental impact of offshore oil and gas operations. Stricter regulation of offshore oil and gas operations has already been implemented by the U.S. with respect to operations in the Outer Continental Shelf, including in the Gulf of Mexico. Further regulation, increased financial assurance requirements and increased caps on liability are likely to be applied to offshore oil and gas operations in these areas. In the event that similar changes in environmental regulation occur with respect to Husky’s operations in the Atlantic or Asia Pacific Regions, such changes could increase the cost of complying with environmental regulation in connection with these operations and have a material adverse impact on Husky’s operations.
Climate Change Regulation
Husky continues to monitor international efforts to address climate change, including developments on the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord. Canada has withdrawn from participation in the Kyoto Protocol. The effect of these initiatives on the Company’s operations cannot be determined with any certainty at this time. The Alberta and BC governments have regulations in place with the Saskatchewan government anticipated to soon follow with similar regulation. These regulations include limiting the intensity limits for large emitters of greenhouse gases in Alberta emitting 100,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse gas in any year. Under the regulations, a 12-15% intensity reduction will be applied to the average of that facility’s 2003-2005 baseline emissions intensity for established facilities. New facilities are required to reduce emissions starting with the fourth year of commercial operation by 2%, and then by 2% every year after, until the 12-15% reduction target has been achieved. These regulations impact all of Husky’s Upstream operations in BC, the Prince George Refinery, the Ram River gas plant and the Tucker thermal oil facility. In addition, the Federal Government of Canada has announced pending regulations in respect of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Although the impact of these regulations is uncertain, they may adversely affect the Company’s operations and increase costs. These regulations may become more onerous over time as public and political pressures increase to implement initiatives that further reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
While the U.S. EPA regulations are currently in effect, they have not yet had a material impact on Husky. However, the Company’s operations may be materially impacted by future application of these rules or by future U.S. greenhouse gas legislation applying to the oil and gas industry or the consumption of petroleum products or by these or any further restrictive regulations issued by the EPA. Such legislation or regulation could require Husky’s U.S. refining operations to significantly reduce emissions and/or purchase allowances, which may increase capital and operating expenditures.

Competition
The energy industry is highly competitive with respect to gaining access to the resources required to increase oil and gas reserves and production and gain access to markets. Husky competes with others to acquire prospective lands, retain drilling capacity and field operating and construction services, obtain sufficient pipeline and other transportation capacity, gain access to and retain adequate markets for its products and services, and gain access to capital markets. Husky’s ability to successfully complete development projects could be adversely affected if it is unable to acquire economic supplies and services due to competition. Subsequent increases in the cost of or delays in acquiring supplies and services could result in uneconomic projects. Husky’s competitors comprise all types of energy companies, some of which have greater resources.
Internal Credit Risk
Credit ratings affect Husky’s ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of Husky to engage in ordinary course derivative or hedging transactions, maintain ordinary course contracts with customers and suppliers on acceptable terms and enter into certain collateralized business activities on a cost effective basis depends on Husky’s credit ratings. A reduction in the current rating on Husky’s debt by one or more of its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below investment grade ratings, or a negative change in Husky’s ratings outlook could adversely affect Husky’s cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of any issuer of securities. The credit ratings accorded to Husky’s securities by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the securities inasmuch as such ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. Any rating may not remain in effect for any given period of time or may be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if in its judgment circumstances so warrant.
General Economic Conditions
General economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. A decline in economic activity will reduce demand for petroleum products and adversely affect the price the Company receives for its commodities. The Company’s cash flow could decline, assets could be impaired, future access to capital could be restricted and major development projects could be delayed or abandoned.
Cost or Availability of Oil and Gas Field Equipment
The cost or availability of oil and gas field equipment adversely affects the Company’s ability to undertake exploration, development and construction projects. The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and is prone to shortages of supply of equipment and services including land and offshore drilling rigs, land and offshore geological and geophysical services, engineering and construction services and construction materials. These materials and services may not be available when required at reasonable prices.
Climatic Conditions
Extreme climatic conditions may have significant adverse effects on operations. The predictability of the demand for energy is affected to a large degree by the predictability of weather and climate. In addition, the Company’s exploration, production and construction operations or disruptions to the operations of major customers or suppliers can be affected by extreme weather, which may result in cessation or diminishment of production, delay of exploration and development activities or delay of plant construction. All of these could potentially cause financial losses.
7.3 | Financial Risks |
Husky’s financial risks are largely related to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. From time to time, Husky uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to these risks. These derivative financial instruments are not intended for trading or speculative purposes. For further details on the Company’s derivative financial instruments, including assumptions made in the calculation of fair value and additional discussion of exposure to risks and mitigation activities see Note 22 Financial Instrument and Risk Management within the Company’s 2012 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Section 3.0 of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. For a discussion on commodity price risk, refer to the Commodity Price Volatility section above.

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Risk
Husky’s results are affected by the exchange rates between various currencies including the Canadian and U.S. dollar. The majority of Husky’s expenditures are in Canadian dollars while the majority of the Company’s revenues are received in U.S. dollars from the sale of oil and gas commodities that receive prices determined by reference to U.S. benchmark prices. An increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will decrease the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. Correspondingly, a decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the revenues received from the sale of oil and gas commodities. In addition, a change in the value of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will result in an increase or decrease in Husky’s U.S. dollar denominated debt and related interest expense, as expressed in Canadian dollars. The fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond Husky’s control and accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and cash flow.
The Company enters into short-dated foreign exchange contracts to fix the exchange rate for conversion of U.S. revenue dollars to hedge against these potential fluctuations. Husky also designates a portion of its U.S debt as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in the U.S. refining operations which are considered as a foreign functional currency. At December 31, 2012, the amount that the Company designated was U.S. $2.8 billion (December 31, 2011 - U.S. $1.3 billion). For the year ended December 31, 2012, the unrealized loss arising from the translation of the debt was $15 million (2011 - loss of $18 million), net of tax of $2 million (2011 - $3 million), which was recorded in OCI. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $97 million recorded in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets (December 31, 2011 - $80 million).
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings, cash flows and valuations. In order to manage interest rate risk and the resulting interest expense, Husky mitigates some of its exposure to interest rate changes by maintaining a mix of both fixed and floating rate debt through the use of its credit facilities and various financial instruments. The optimal mix maintained will depend on market conditions. Husky may also enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as an additional means of managing current and future interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the financial loss that the Company would suffer if the Company’s counterparties in a transaction fail to meet or discharge their obligation to the Company. Husky actively manages this exposure to credit and contract execution risk from both a customer and a supplier perspective. Internal credit policies govern Husky’s credit portfolio and limit transactions according to a counterparty’s and a supplier’s credit quality. Counterparties for all financial derivatives transacted by Husky are major financial institutions or counterparties with investment grade credit ratings.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The Company’s process for managing liquidity risk includes ensuring, to the extent possible, that it has access to multiple sources of capital including: cash and cash equivalents, cash from operating activities, undrawn credit facilities, and the availability to raise capital from various debt capital markets, including under its shelf prospectuses. The availability of capital under its shelf prospectuses is dependent on market conditions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized into one of three categories based upon the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 fair value measurements are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contribution receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, contribution payable, and portions of other assets and other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash generated from operating activities was $5,189 million in 2012 compared with $5,092 million in 2011. Slightly higher cash flows from operations were mainly due to changes in non-cash working capital, partially offset by higher taxes paid and lower net earnings when compared to 2011.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities was $162 million in 2012 compared with cash flow from financing activities of $910 million in 2011. Cash flow from financing activities was lower in 2012 compared to 2011 due to a preferred share issuance of $300 million and a common share issuance of $1.2 billion in 2011.
Cash Flow used for Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for 2012 was $4,830 million compared with $4,420 million in 2011. Cash invested in both periods was primarily for acquisitions and capital expenditures.

The increase in cash was primarily due to strong cash flow from operations in the year which was in excess of cash flow used for financing and investing activities. Cash flow used for financing and investing activities in 2012 primarily consisted of dividends paid on common and preferred shares, interest paid on long-term debt and Upstream capital expenditures. Increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable were due to the timing of settlements compared to 2011. Inventory levels held at December 31, 2012 decreased from levels held at December 31, 2011 due to comparable production combined with higher throughput in Downstream in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 and the timing of lifts and sales of upstream offshore production. The decrease in long-term debt due within one year was due to the repayment of debt which matured in 2012 compared to no long-term debt maturities in 2013.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Liquidity describes a company’s ability to access cash. Companies operating in the upstream oil and gas industry require sufficient cash in order to fund capital programs necessary to maintain and increase production and develop reserves, to acquire strategic oil and gas assets, and to repay maturing debt and pay dividends. Husky is currently able to fund its capital programs principally by cash generated from operating activities, cash on hand, issuances of equity, issuances of long-term debt and borrowings under committed and uncommitted credit facilities. During times of low oil and gas prices, a portion of a capital program can generally be deferred. However, due to the long cycle times and the importance to future cash flow in maintaining production, it may be necessary to utilize alternative sources of capital to continue the Company’s strategic investment plan during periods of low commodity prices. As a result, Husky frequently evaluates the options with respect to sources of short and long-term capital resources. Occasionally, the Company will hedge a portion of its production to protect cash flow in the event of commodity price declines. At December 31, 2012, no production was hedged.
At December 31, 2012 Husky had the following available credit facilities:

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 totalled $2,025 million compared with $1,841 million at the beginning of the year.
At December 31, 2012, Husky had unused short and long-term borrowing credit facilities totalling $3,380 million. A total of $235 million of the Company’s short-term borrowing credit facilities was used in support of outstanding letters of credit.
Husky Energy (HK) Limited and Husky Oil China Ltd., subsidiaries of Husky, each have an uncommitted demand revolving facility of U.S. $10 million available for general purposes.

The Sunrise Oil Sands Partnership has an unsecured demand credit facility of $10 million available for general purposes. The Company’s proportionate share is $5 million.
At the special meeting of shareholders held on February 28, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the common share terms, which provide shareholders with the ability to receive dividends in common shares or in cash. Under the amended terms, quarterly dividends may be declared in an amount expressed in dollars per common share and paid by way of issuance of a fraction of a common share per outstanding common share determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the principal stock exchange on which the common shares are traded. The volume weighted average trading price of the common shares is calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of common shares traded over the five trading day period immediately prior to the payment date of the dividend on the common shares. A shareholder must deliver to Husky’s transfer agent a Stock Dividend Confirmation Notice at least five business days prior to the record date of a declared dividend confirming they will accept the dividend in common shares. Failure to do so will result in such shareholder receiving the dividend paid in cash. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company declared dividends payable of $1.20 per common share, resulting in dividends of $1.2 billion. An aggregate of $557 million was paid in cash during 2012. At December 31, 2012, $295 million, including $293 million in cash and $2 million in common shares, was payable to shareholders on account of dividends declared on November 1, 2012.
On March 18, 2011, Husky issued 12 million Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 1 (the “Series 1 Preferred Shares”) at a price of $25.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $300 million under a Canadian universal short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prior Canadian Shelf Prospectus”). Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a cumulative quarterly fixed dividend payable on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year yielding 4.45% annually for the initial period ending March 31, 2016 as and when declared by Husky’s Board of Directors. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be reset every five years at a rate equal to the 5-year Government of Canada bond yield plus 1.73%. Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will have the right, at their option, to convert their shares into Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 2 (the “Series 2 Preferred Shares”), subject to certain conditions, on March 31, 2016 and on March 31 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 2 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive cumulative quarterly floating dividends at a rate equal to the three-month Government of Canada Treasury Bill yield plus 1.73%.
On June 13, 2011, the Company filed a universal short form base shelf prospectus (the “U.S. Shelf Prospectus”) with the Alberta Securities Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that enables the Company to offer up to U.S. $3.0 billion of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units in the United States up to and including July 12, 2013. At December 31, 2012, approximately $1.5 billion remains available for issuance under the U.S. Shelf Prospectus.
On June 29, 2011, Husky issued 37 million common shares at a price of $27.05 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion through a public offering, and a total of 7.4 million common shares at a price of $27.05 per share for total gross proceeds of $200 million through a private placement to L.F. Investments (Barbados) Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Luxembourg Holdings S.à.r.l. The Company received total gross proceeds of $1.2 billion from this issuance. The public offering was completed under the U.S. Shelf Prospectus and accompanying prospectus supplement in the United States and under the Prior Canadian Shelf Prospectus and accompanying prospectus supplement in Canada.
On March 22, 2012, the Company issued U.S. $500 million of 3.95% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2022 pursuant to the U.S. Shelf Prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement. The notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at a make-whole premium and interest is payable semi-annually. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
On June 15, 2012, the Company repaid the maturing 6.25% notes issued under a trust indenture dated June 14, 2002. The amount paid to note holders was U.S. $413 million, including U.S. $13 million of interest.
On December 14, 2012, the Company amended and restated both of its revolving syndicated credit facilities to allow the Company to borrow up to $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion in either Canadian or U.S. currency from a group of banks on an unsecured basis.

On December 31, 2012, the Company filed a universal short form base shelf prospectus (the “Canadian Shelf Prospectus”) with applicable securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, that enables the Company to offer up to $3.0 billion of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts, warrants and units (the “Securities”) in Canada up to and including January 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had not issued Securities under the Canadian Shelf Prospectus. This Canadian Shelf Prospectus replaced the Prior Canadian Shelf Prospectus filed in Canada during November 2010 which had remaining unused capacity of $1.4 billion and expired in December 2012. The ability of the Company to raise capital utilizing the U.S. Shelf Prospectus and Canadian Shelf Prospectus is dependent on market conditions at the time of sale.

(2) | Asset retirement obligation (ARO) amounts represent the undiscounted future payments for the estimated cost of abandonment, removal and remediation associated with retiring the Company’s assets. |
The following additions during the year are included in total non-cancellable contracts and other commercial commitments:
• | The Company executed an operating lease agreement with Seadrill for the semi-submersible rig, West Mira. The non-cancellable minimum future payments are approximately $129 million per year commencing 2015 for five years with an option to extend the contract to 2022. |
• | The Company executed contracts to purchase refined petroleum products in Canada over the next three years totalling approximately $4.5 billion. |
• | The Company updated its estimates for Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”) as outlined in Note 16 of the 2012 audited Consolidated Financial Statements. On an undiscounted basis, the ARO increased from $8.5 billion as at December 31, 2011 to $10.3 billion as at December 31, 2012 due to increased cost estimates and asset growth in the Upstream and Downstream segments. |
Based on Husky’s 2013 commodity price forecast, the Company believes that its non-cancellable contractual obligations, including commercial commitments and the 2013 Capital Program, will be funded by cash flow from operating activities and, to the extent required, by available committed credit facilities and the issuance of long-term debt. In the event of significantly lower cash flow, Husky would be able to defer certain projected capital expenditures without penalty.

Other Obligations
The Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters is uncertain and there can be no assurance that such matters will be resolved in the Company’s favour, the Company does not currently believe that the outcome of adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings related to these and other matters or any amount which it may be required to pay would have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company has income tax filings that are subject to audit and potential reassessment. The findings may impact the tax liability of the Company. The final results are not reasonably determinable at this time and management believes that it has adequately provided for current and deferred income taxes.
Husky provides a defined contribution plan and a post-retirement health and dental plan for all qualified employees in Canada. The Company also provides a defined benefit pension plan for approximately 96 active employees, 110 participants with deferred benefits and 535 participants or joint survivors receiving benefits in Canada. This plan was closed to new entrants in 1991 after the majority of employees transferred to the defined contribution pension plan. Husky provides a defined benefit pension plan for approximately 237 active union represented employees in the United States. A defined benefit pension plan for 207 active non-represented employees in the United States was curtailed effective April 1, 2011. Approximately 10 participants in both U.S. plans have deferred benefits and no participants were receiving benefits at year end. These pension plans were established effective July 1, 2007 in conjunction with the acquisition of the Lima Refinery. Husky also assumed a post-retirement welfare plan covering all qualified employees at the Lima Refinery and contributes to a 401(k) plan (Refer to Note 19 to the 2012 audited Consolidated Financial Statements).
Husky has an obligation to fund capital expenditures of the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery LLC (Refer to Note 8 to the 2012 audited Consolidated Financial Statements) which is payable between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2015 with the final balance due and payable by December 31, 2015. The timing of payments during this period will be determined by the capital expenditures made at the refinery during this same period. At December 31, 2012, Husky’s share of this obligation was U.S. $1.3 billion including accrued interest.
Husky is also subject to various contingent obligations that become payable only if certain events or rulings were to occur. The inherent uncertainty surrounding the timing and financial impact of these events or rulings prevents any meaningful measurement, which is necessary to assess their impact on future liquidity. Such obligations include environmental contingencies, contingent consideration and potential settlements resulting from litigation.
The Company has a number of contingent environmental liabilities, which individually have been estimated to be immaterial and have not been reflected in the Company’s financial statements beyond the associated ARO. These contingent environmental liabilities are primarily related to the migration of contamination at fuel outlets and certain legacy sites where Husky had previously conducted operations. The contingent environmental liabilities involved have been considered in aggregate and based on reasonable estimates the Company does not believe they will result, in aggregate, in a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
8.4 | Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
Husky does not believe that it has any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the company’s financial condition or financial performance.
Standby Letters of Credit
On occasion, Husky issues letters of credit in connection with transactions in which the counterparty requires such security.
8.5 | Transactions with Related Parties |
The Company continues to sell natural gas to and purchase steam from the Meridian cogeneration facility owned by a related party of Husky. These natural gas sales and steam purchases are related party transactions and have been measured at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the total value of natural gas sales to the Meridian

cogeneration facility owned by the related party was $74 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the total value of obligated steam purchases from the Meridian cogeneration facility owned by the related party was $13 million. In addition, the Company provides cogeneration and facility support services to Meridian, measured on a cost recovery basis. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the total cost recovery for these services was $19 million.

9.0 | Critical Accounting Estimates and Key Judgments |
Husky’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the 2012 audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of the Company’s accounting policies require subjective judgment and estimation about uncertain circumstances.
9.1 | Accounting Estimates |
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and on a prospective basis. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future years could require a material change in the consolidated financial statements. These underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, and are subject to change as new events occur, as more industry experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Specifically, amounts recorded for depletion, depreciation, amortization, impairment, asset retirement obligations, assets and liabilities measured at fair value, employee future benefits, income taxes, and contingencies are based on estimates.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization
Eligible costs associated with oil and gas activities are capitalized on a unit of measure basis. Depletion expense is subject to estimates including petroleum and natural gas reserves, future petroleum and natural gas prices, estimated future remediation costs, future interest rates as well as other fair value assumptions. The aggregate of capitalized costs, net of accumulated DD&A, less estimated salvage values, is charged to DD&A over the life of the proved developed reserves using the unit of production method.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Estimating ARO requires that Husky estimates costs that are many years in the future. Restoration technologies and costs are constantly changing, as are regulatory, political, environment, safety and public relations considerations. Inherent in the calculation of ARO are numerous assumptions and estimates including the ultimate settlement amounts, future third-party pricing, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. Future revisions to these assumptions may result in changes to the ARO.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of derivatives are determined using valuation models which require assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates. These estimates are also subject to change with fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and estimates of non-performance. The actual settlement of a derivative instruments could differ materially from the fair value recorded and could impact future results.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2012
45
Table of Contents
Employee Future Benefits
The determination of the cost of the post-retirement health and dental care plan and the defined benefit pension plan reflects a number of estimates that affect expected future benefit payments. These estimates include, but are not limited to, attrition, mortality, the rate of return on pension plan assets and salary escalations for the defined benefit pension plan and expected health care cost trends for the post-retirement health and dental care plan. The fair value of the plan assets is used for the purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets.
Income Taxes
The determination of the Company’s income and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations often involving multiple jurisdictions. Significant estimations are made with respect to the timing of temporary difference reversals, the realizability of tax assets and in circumstances where transaction and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination are uncertain. All tax filings are subject to audit and potential reassessment, often after the passage of considerable time. Accordingly, the actual income tax liability may differ significantly from that estimated and recorded by management.
Legal, Environmental Remediation and Other Contingent Matters
Husky is required to both determine whether a loss is probable based on judgment and interpretation of laws and regulations and determine whether the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is determined it is charged to net earnings. Husky must continually monitor known and potential contingent matters and make appropriate provisions by charges to net earnings when warranted by circumstances.
9.2 | Key Judgments |
Management makes judgments regarding the application of IFRS for each accounting policy. Critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include successful efforts and impairment assessments, the determination of cash generating units (“CGUs”) and the designation of the Company’s functional currency.
Successful Efforts Assessments
Costs directly associated with an exploration well are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. Expenditures related to wells that do not find reserves or where no future activity is planned, are expensed as exploration and evaluation expenses. Exploration and evaluation costs are excluded from costs subject to depletion until technical feasibility and commercial viability is assessed or production commences. At that time, costs are either transferred to property, plant and equipment or their value is impaired. Impairment is charged directly to net earnings. Successful efforts assessments require significant judgment and may change as new information becomes available.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets and Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Determining whether there are indications of impairment requires significant judgment of internal and external indicators. If impairment is indicated, the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset is charged to net earnings. The determination of the recoverable amount for impairment purposes involves the use of numerous assumptions and estimates including future net cash flows from oil and gas reserves, future third-party pricing, inflation factors, discount rates and other uncertainties. Future revisions to these assumptions impact the recoverable amount.
A financial asset is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether it is impaired based on objective evidence indicating that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. Objective evidence used by the Company to assess impairment of financial assets includes quoted market prices for similar financial assets and historical collection rates for loans and receivables. The calculations for
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2012

Table of Contents
the net present value of estimated future cash flows related to derivative financial assets requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including forecasts of commodity prices, marketing supply and demand, product margins and expected production volumes, it is possible that the assumptions may change, which may require a material adjustment to the carrying value of financial assets.
Cash Generating Units
The Company’s assets are grouped into respective CGUs, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets, liabilities and associated goodwill that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The determination of the Company’s CGUs is subject to management’s judgment.
Functional and Presentation Currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate and is normally the currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. The designation of the Company’s functional currency is a management judgement based on the composition of revenues and costs in the locations in which it operated.
10.0 | Recent Accounting Standards |
Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” which provides a single model to be applied in the assessment of control for all entities in which the Company has an investment including special purpose entities currently in the scope of Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12. Under the new control model, the Company has control over an investment if the Company has the ability to direct the activities of the investment, is exposed to the variability of returns from the investment and there is a link between the ability to direct activities and the variability of returns. IFRS 10 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 10 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Joint Arrangements
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements,” whereby joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. Parties to a joint operation retain the rights and obligations to individual assets and liabilities of the operation, while parties to a joint venture have rights to the net assets of the venture. Joint operations shall be accounted for in a manner consistent with jointly controlled assets and operations whereby the Company’s contractual share of the arrangement’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is included in the consolidated financial statements. Any arrangement structured through a separate vehicle that does effectively result in separation between the Company and the arrangement shall be classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the existing IFRS standard, the Company has the option to account for any interests it has in joint arrangements using proportionate consolidation or equity accounting. IFRS 11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 11 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities,” which contains new disclosure requirements for interests the Company has in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Required disclosures aim to provide readers of the financial statements with information to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with the Company’s interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on the Company’s financial statements. IFRS 12 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt IFRS 12 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
In May 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures,” which provides additional guidance applicable to accounting for interests in joint ventures or associates when a portion of an interest is classified as held for sale or when the Company ceases to have joint control or significant influence over an associate or joint venture. When joint control or significant influence over an associate or joint venture ceases, the Company will no longer be required to remeasure the investment at that date. When a portion of an interest in a joint venture or associate is classified as held for sale, the portion not classified as held for sale shall be accounted for using the equity method of accounting until the sale is completed at which time the interest is reassessed for prospective accounting treatment. Amendments to IAS 28 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt these amendments on January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the amendments to IAS 28 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement
In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement,” which provides a single source of fair value measurement guidance and replaces fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs. The standard provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes new disclosure requirements to enable readers to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements, for recurring valuations that are subject to measurement uncertainty, and for the effect of those measurements on the financial statements. IFRS 13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required prospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 13 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Employee Benefits
In June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” to eliminate the corridor method that permits the deferral of actuarial gains and losses, to revise the presentation requirements for changes in defined benefit plan assets and liabilities and to enhance the required disclosures for defined benefit plans. The amendments to IAS 19 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt these amendments on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the amended standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify the current offsetting model and develop common disclosure requirements to enhance the understanding of the potential effects of offsetting arrangements. Amendments to IFRS 7 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. Amendments to IAS 32 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt the IFRS 7 amendments on January 1, 2013 and the IAS 32 amendments on January 1, 2014. The adoption of these amended standards is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Financial Instruments
In November 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments,” which covers the classification and measurement of financial assets as part of its project to replace IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” In October 2010, the requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities were added to IFRS 9. Under this guidance, entities have the option to recognize financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. If this option is elected, entities would be required to reverse the portion of the fair value change due to their own credit risk out of net earnings and recognize the change in OCI. IFRS 9 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with required retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company intends to retrospectively adopt the amendments on January 1, 2015. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In addition, statements relating to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves or resources described can be profitably produced in the future.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected by the forward-looking statements presented in this document are reasonable, the Company’s forward-looking statements have been based on assumptions and factors concerning future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to the Company about itself and the businesses in which it operates. Information used in developing forward-looking statements has been acquired from various sources including third party consultants, suppliers, regulators and other sources.
Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to Husky.
Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012 and other documents filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com and the EDGAR website www.sec.gov) describe the risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and are incorporated herein by reference.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent upon other factors, and the Company’s course of action would depend upon its assessment of the future considering all information then available.
11.2 | Oil and Gas Reserves Reporting |
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Reserves and Other Oil and Gas Information
Unless otherwise noted in this document, all reserves estimates given have an effective date of December 31, 2012.
The Company uses the terms barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”), which is calculated on an energy equivalence basis whereby one barrel of crude oil is equivalent to six thousand cubic feet of natural gas. Readers are cautioned that the term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. This measure is primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead.
11.3 | Non-GAAP Measures |
Disclosure of non-GAAP Measurements
Husky uses measurements primarily based on IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and also certain secondary non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP measurements included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are cash flow from operations, operating netback, debt to capital employed, debt to cash flow, corporate reinvestment ratio, interest coverage on long-term debt, interest coverage on total debt, return on capital employed and return on capital in use. None of these measurements are used to enhance the Company’s reported financial performance or position. With the exception of cash flow from operations, there are no comparable measures to these non-GAAP measures in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measurements are
Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2012

Table of Contents
considered to be useful as complementary measurements in assessing Husky’s financial performance, efficiency and liquidity. The non-GAAP measurements do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable by definition to similar measures presented by other companies. Except as described below, the definitions of these measurements are found in Section 11.4, “Additional Reader Advisories.”
Disclosure of Cash Flow from Operations
Husky uses the term “cash flow from operations,” which should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than “cash flow – operating activities” as determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of financial performance. Cash flow from operations is presented in the Company’s financial reports to assist management and investors in analyzing operating performance by business in the stated period. Husky’s determination of cash flow from operations may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Cash flow from operations equals net earnings plus items not affecting cash which include accretion, depletion, depreciation and amortization, future income taxes, foreign exchange and other non-cash items.
The following table shows the reconciliation of cash flow – operating activities to cash flow from operations and related per share amounts for the years ended December 31:

Disclosure of Operating Netback
Operating netback is a common non-GAAP metric used in the oil and gas industry. This measurement assists management and investors to evaluate the specific operating performance by product at the oil and gas lease level. The netback was determined by taking upstream netback (gross revenues less operating costs less royalties) divided by upstream gross production.

“Proved reserves” are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
“Proved developed reserves” are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production.
“Proved Undeveloped” are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned. In multi-well pools, it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should be based on the estimator’s assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.
“Probable reserves” are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

11.5 | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Husky’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Husky’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”)) as at December 31, 2012, and have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Husky in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Canadian securities laws is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and Canadian securities laws and (ii) accumulated and communicated to Husky’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The following report is provided by management in respect of Husky’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the CSA):
1) | Husky’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for Husky. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. |
2) | Husky’s management has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) framework to evaluate the effectiveness of Husky’s internal control over financial reporting. |
3) | As at December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of Husky’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective. |
4) | KPMG LLP, who has audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Husky for the year ended December 31, 2012, has also issued a report on internal controls over financial reporting under Auditing Standard No. 5 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) which attests to management’s assessment of Husky’s internal controls over financial reporting. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in Husky’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2012, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.
