Operations
Husky's operations can be divided into three distinct business
segments:
Upstream
Upstream includes the exploration, development and production
of crude oil, bitumen and natural gas in Western Canada, offshore
the Canadian East Coast, off Greenland, in the South and East
China Seas, offshore Indonesia and other international areas.
The Western Canadian assets contribute the majority of the
Company's earnings and cash flow, providing a strong base
to fund Husky's long-term development projects.
Midstream
Midstream operations include the upgrading of heavy crude
oil into premium synthetic crude oil, pipeline transportation,
gas storage, power, cogeneration, and the marketing of crude
oil, natural gas liquids, sulphur and petroleum coke. Significant
assets include the Lloydminster heavy oil upgrader with a
processing capacity of 82,000 barrels per day, a 2,050-kilometre
pipeline system, storage assets of 2.5 million barrels distributed
into three major terminals, a 50 per cent interest in a 215-megawatt
cogeneration facility at Lloydminster and a 90-megawatt power
generation facility at Rainbow Lake, Alberta, gas storage
capacity, treating and gathering systems, and commodity marketing.
Downstream
Downstream comprises the refining, marketing and distribution
of gasoline, diesel, asphalt, ethanol and ancillary services
in Canada and the United States, and a network of retail outlets.
Core assets include the Lima (Ohio, U.S.A.) refinery, the
Lloydminster asphalt refinery, the Prince George light oil
refinery, 50 per cent interest in a refinery in Toledo (Ohio,
USA), and a network of 500 retail outlets in Canada from British
Columbia to Ontario and the Yukon Territory.

Upstream Operations
Western Canada Conventional Production
Husky has oil and gas leases on approximately 30,000 square
kilometres in Western Canada and the Northwestern United States,
with plenty of opportunity for new reserve additions from
exploration and development.
Heavy Oil
Husky has been a pioneer in the development and production
of heavy oil and remains Canada's dominant player. The Company's
position is enhanced by synergies with its nearby heavy oil
upgrader and asphalt refinery, and leases on 8,000 square
kilometres of landholdings.
Oil Sands
The oil sands of northern Alberta are one of Husky's long-term
growth areas. The Company has more than 2,200 square kilometres
in the Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River areas that contain
44.3 billion barrels of bitumen in place.
Husky's first two oil sands projects are at Tucker and Sunrise.
Construction on the Tucker Oil Sands Project was completed
in August 2006, and achieved first oil at the end of 2006.
The Tucker Project, is estimated to have a 35 years project
life and peak production of more than 30,000 barrels per day.
Regulatory approval for the phased development of the Sunrise
Oil Sands Project was received in December 2005. Husky estimates
that the Sunrise Project could produce 3.2 billion barrels
of bitumen over a 40 years life. Development of Sunrise will
be expedited by a 2007 joint partnership with BP in which
Husky swapped a 50 per cent interest in Sunrise for a 50 per
cent interest in BP’s Toledo Refinery.
Canada's
East Coast and Greeland
Husky is very active in oil and natural gas production and
exploration on the Grand Banks, offshore the coast of the
province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Company is the
majority owner (72.5 per cent) and operator of the White Rose
oil field and has a 12.51 per cent interest in the Terra Nova
oil field, as well as in a number of smaller fields in the
central part of the Jeanne d'Arc Basin. Husky holds working
interests in 16 significant discovery areas and Exploration
Licences in the Basin totaling 15,360 square kilometres.
In 2007, Husky was awarded three exploration licences offshore
Greenland. The Company has an 87.5 per cent interest in two
blocks covering 21,000 square kilometres and a 43.75 per cent
interest in a third block covering 13,000 square kilometres.
Seismic testing was carried out in 2008.
South East Asia
Husky's first venture in China was the 2002 acquisition of
a 40 percent interest in the Wenchang oil fields located in
the western Pearl River Mouth Basin, approximately 300 kilometres
south of Hong Kong and 135 kilometres east of Hainan Island.
Husky's total landholdings in the South and East China Seas
have grown to over 25,644 square kilometres.
At its significant hydrocarbon discovery at Liwan 3-1-1,
in Block 29/26, in the South China Sea, Husky has secured
a deep water drilling rig for a three year term. Based on
current interpretation of the 2-D seismic and the Liwan 3-1-1
well results, the discovery could contain a potential recoverable
resource of four to six trillion cubic feet of natural gas,
making it one of the largest natural gas discoveries offshore
China.
CNOOC Ltd. recently acquired a 50 per cent equity interest
in Husky's Madura Strait Production Sharing Contract offshore
Indonesia covering an area of 2,795 square kilometres. Husky
Energy and CNOOC Ltd. will jointly develop the Madura BD gas
and natural gas liquids field located offshore East Java,
Indonesia.
Husky holds a 100 percent interest in the East Bawean II
PSC, offshore Indonesia and will continue to focus on exploration
and drilling activities in Indonesia. Husky recently completed
a 1,410 square kilometre 3-D seismic program over this block
in preparation for a two well exploration program in 2009.
Additionally, Husky was recently awarded 100 percent interest
in North Sumbawa ll Production Sharing Contract. Husky's total
holdings in Indonesia are 12,108 square kilometers.

Midstream Operations
Upgrading
Husky's heavy oil upgrading facility at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan
processes heavy oil feedstock into premium quality synthetic
crude oil. The Upgrader achieves a very high yield of light
synthetic as it uses both coking and hydrocracking. The Upgrader
processes the heavy oil into light (32-34o API),
sweet (0.1 per cent sulphur versus conventional light at 0.3
to 0.5 per cent) and low-nitrogen (0.04 per cent) synthetic
crude oil, which can be further refined into premium-quality
transportation fuels
The Upgrader has achieved throughput capacity of 82,000 barrels
of synthetic crude oil per day following the completion of
debottlenecking projects in 2007.
Infrastructure
An important component of Husky's heavy oil operations in
Lloydminster is its 2,050-kilometre heavy oil pipeline system.
As part of its operations, the Company owns, operates and
leases 38 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity,
and has a 50 per cent ownership interest in electricity cogeneration
facilities at its Lloydminster heavy oil upgrader and at its
Rainbow Lake natural gas processing plant.
Commodity Marketing
Husky is a major marketer of both its own and third-party
production volumes of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas
liquids, sulphur, and petroleum coke. Husky sells the equivalent
of 1.1 million barrels of oil per day to a large variety of
end users across North America, and manages transportation
on behalf of third parties.

Downstream Operations
Wholesale,
Commercial and Retail Marketing
Husky and Mohawk-branded fuels are marketed through 500 retail
outlets, travel centres and bulk distributors in Western Canada.
In 2007, Husky marketed more than 3.2 billion litres of gasoline
and diesel fuel.
Oil Refining and Ethanol Processing
Husky made significant additions to its refining capacity
n 2007. It purchase of a 160,000 barrel per day light oil
refinery in Lima, Ohio for US$1.9 billion plus working capital.
Options are being examined to convert the refinery to process
heavier feed stocks. In its joint venture with BP, Husky swapped
half of its Sunrise oil sands development for half of BP’s
150,000 barrels per day refinery in Toledo, Ohio.
The 12,000 barrels per day Prince George light oil refinery
produces all grades of low-sulphur gasoline and diesel fuels,
a propane and butane mix, and heavy fuel oil. It set a production
record of 3.8 million barrels in 2007.
Husky opened a 130 million litres per year ethanol plant
at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan in 2006 and a 130-million litre
per year facility at Minnedosa, Manitoba at the end of 2007.
The plants make Husky Western Canada's largest producer of
ethanol. Adding grain-derived ethanol to gasoline promotes
fuel combustion, raises octane levels, prevents water from
freezing in fuel lines, and reduces emissions from vehicles,
thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Asphalt Refining and Marketing
Husky
owns and operates a 27,000 barrel per day refinery at Lloydminster
that processes heavy oil into asphalt, used for paving and
building products. The high quality of the asphalt produced
at the Lloydminster refinery has allowed Husky to achieve
a 35 per cent market share in the western Canadian paving
market. Forty per cent of the refinery production is exported
to the United States.
