Canadian Natural Resources Limited (TSX:CNQ)(NYSE:CNQ) ("Canadian Natural") has
successfully completed proactive planned maintenance activities at its Horizon
Oil Sands Project ("Horizon"). The planned outage, scheduled for twelve days in
the month of October, was completed on schedule and on cost. The Coker feed has
commenced as the plant returns to targeted full production of 115,000 barrels
per day of Synthetic Crude Oil ("SCO") and Canadian Natural continues its
commitment to safe, steady and reliable operations. 


As previously provided, current Horizon production guidance for 2012 remains in
the range of 90,000 bbl/d - 98,000 bbl/d of SCO as production level reductions
due to proactive maintenance activities was previously taken into consideration.
Q3/12 actual production was approximately 99,200 barrels per day of SCO, near
the midpoint of previously issued Q3/12 guidance, as the Company operated at
restricted rates for a portion of Q3/12 to ensure safe, steady reliable
operations in anticipation of the proactive planned maintenance. 


Canadian Natural is a senior oil and natural gas production company, with
continuing operations in its core areas located in Western Canada, the U.K.
