Supplementary Oil and Gas Disclosures (unaudited)

The following disclosures are presented in accordance with United States Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 932 — “Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas” and the U.S disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Disclosures pertaining to the audited consolidated financial statements of Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor” or the “company”) were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements are attached as .2 to Suncor’s annual report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 40-F”).

Reserves Data

Reserves data are estimates only and can be significantly impacted by a variety of internal and external factors. For more information on the risks involved when estimating reserves, see the discussion in the “Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information — Advisories – Reserves Data” section in Suncor’s 2024 Annual Information Form (the “2024 AIF”), which is attached as to the Form 40-F. Readers should also see Suncor’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is attached as .3 to the Form 40-F (the “2024 Management’s Discussion and Analysis”).

The reserves data presented herein, with an effective date of December 31, 2024, may differ in relation to the format and the basis from which volumes are economically determined under National Instrument 51-101 — “Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities” (“NI 51-101”), as disclosed in the 2024 AIF. SEC requires disclosure of net proved reserves, after royalties, using the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for the twelve-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, whereas NI 51-101 requires disclosure of gross and net reserves, estimated using forecast prices and costs. In 2024, Suncor’s reserves were economic utilizing both constant pricing permitted by SEC, as well as forecast pricing permitted by NI 51-101.

Net Proved Oil and Gas Reserves(1)(2)

To align with the company’s business segments, the company presents the following supplementary oil and gas disclosures by showing its Oil Sands segment, which is exclusively in Canada and produces synthetic crude oil (“SCO”) and bitumen, separate from other Canadian operations (collectively, “Exploration and Production”) which produce crude oil. Exploration and Production reserves are in offshore Canada.

Notes to Reserves Data:

(1)

Definitions

a.

Net reserves, in relation to Suncor’s production and reserves, represents the company’s working interest share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus the company’s royalty interests in production and reserves.

b.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty (at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate) to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations.

c.

Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those quantities that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and can be expected to be recovered through extraction equipment and infrastructure installed and operational at the time of the reserves estimate for projects that extract oil by means not involving a well.

d.

Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are those quantities that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion; and can be expected to be recovered through extraction equipment and infrastructure to be installed for projects that extract oil by means not involving a well.

(2)

Reserve data tables may not add due to rounding.

(3)

Revisions of previous estimates include changes to reserves, resulting from new information (except for an increase in proved acreage) normally obtained from development drilling and production history or resulting from a change in economic factors, and changes in constant prices used for the reserve evaluation. In 2024, negative technical revisions of bitumen were made at Fort Hills, Syncrude, and Firebag partially offset by positive revisions in MacKay River. Positive technical revisions of SCO at Fort Hills and Firebag, partially offset by downward revisions at Syncrude, Millenium and North Steepbank Extension.

(4)

Acquisitions in 2023 are due to Suncor increasing its interest in Fort Hills by 14.65% during the first quarter and by 31.23% in the fourth quarter, making Suncor the sole owner of Fort Hills. There were no acquisitions in 2024.

(5)

Extensions and discoveries are additions to proved reserves from proved acreage of previously discovered reservoirs through additional drilling periods subsequent to discovery or discovery of new fields with proved reserves or of new reservoirs of proved reserves in old fields. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with Firebag were added in 2023. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with Mackay River were added in 2024.

(6)

Dispositions in 2023 are due to Suncor divesting its U.K. assets which included a 29.89% working interest in Buzzard. There were no dispositions in 2024.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves(1)

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to Suncor’s proved oil and gas reserves are calculated in accordance with FASB Topic 932 — “Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas”. Future cash inflows are estimated using the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for the twelve-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. The appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, were applied to the future pretax net cash flows, less the tax basis of the properties involved. A prescribed rate of 10% is applied to discount the future net cash flows.

The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon information prepared by the company’s independent qualified reserves evaluator (which includes decommissioning and restoration activities), and adjusted for future income taxes.

It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net cash flows represent the fair market value of the reserves or the actual results of operations. Future changes to income tax, royalty and environmental regulations could also have a significant impact on the respective assumptions. The Company does not believe the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows accurately represents actual future cash flows or the fair value of crude oil properties.
