Now it's my pleasure to introduce Kris Smith, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor Energy. Thanks, Troy. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for attending the presentation today and for your interest in Suncor. Since taking on the role of Interim President and CEO for the company, I've been laser-focused on driving improved safety and operational performance across the company and ensuring that we deliver value to our shareholders. I'm pleased to be with you today to provide an update on these topics. I will take you through our rigorous safety improvement plan, Suncor's differentiated value proposition, our 2023 production, capital, and cost guidance, and the results of the retail strategic review recently completed by our board of directors. Shelley Powell, our Senior Vice President of In-situ and E&P, will discuss our industry-leading In Situ assets, including our continued optimization of those assets to drive long-term value. Peter Zebedee, our Executive Vice President of Mining and Upgrading, will go through our mining and upgrading assets, including the progress that we've been making on improved reliability and our plans to improve performance at each of our mines, including a detailed review of Fort Hills and St. Croix. We'll wrap up the presentation with our 2023 financial outlook from Alister, including our plan to deliver top-quartile cash returns to our shareholders. We also have Arnel Santos, our Senior Vice President of Refining and Logistics, with us here today, as well as Arlene Strom, our Chief Sustainability Officer and General Counsel, and they'll be available afterwards to engage with everyone. As many of you know, Suncor's held a position of sustainability leadership for nearly three decades and has plans to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our business. This includes our plans related to the Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero Alliance, all with an ambition to be net zero by 2050. This is in the materials provided today. Given the focus on the other topics, we're not gonna be going through that in today's prepared remarks. If you have any questions about that, I'd be very happy to take them during the Q&A in the session that will follow the formal presentation. The first thing I wanna talk about is safety and how we're working to deliver best-in-class safety performance. Because at Suncor, safety above all else is our core value. Safety's always been my number one focus, even before assuming the role of Interim President and CEO. I led Suncor's downstream business for a number of years, and I worked hard to ensure that it delivered strong safety performance, including last year achieving recordable injury rates at lowest ever. Safety has always been foundational to our core values as a company, and this has not changed. With the safety performance that we've seen in recent years in parts of the company, particularly with respect to the fatalities in our mines and tailings business area, we know we have to do better. I'm confident that we can achieve best-in-class safety throughout our entire company with a focused plan, concrete actions, and engagement with our frontline workers. I would characterize our recent safety journey in three stages. First, we diagnosed the gaps in our performance to understand how we could improve. This 2021 assessment involved a third-party global safety expert and benchmarking to global best practices with an emphasis on mining. Second, we applied the findings and insights from our diagnosis to bolster leadership capacity and capability. We were focused on driving standardized best practice safety processes across the operations. This brings me to the third and final stage, execution of a clear and accelerated plan to improve our safety performance. To reduce risk in the mine, we're implementing best-in-class collision awareness and fatigue management technology. It will address a key risk in that business area and will be fully implemented by 2023. We're also strengthening our risk management systems and controls to ensure we reduce the probability and consequence of events so that if we do fail, we fail safely. Contractor safety management is a key focus area. Peter will talk about this in more detail, but we are reducing the number of contractors in our mining and upgrading business, not only to improve efficiency and competitiveness, which it will, but to reduce risk in the field. We're also engaging with our contractors to assure work safe practices in the field and strengthen our safety culture. One area that I believe is absolutely crucial is safety engagement with all our leaders and workers at our sites and on the front line. To that end, we're increasing safety engagement, and we have been doing so at the front line. We are implementing human organizational performance principles consistent with other industry leaders to strengthen our safety culture. As well, it's critical that our incentives are aligned with our drive to improve safety performance. For that reason, I'll be doubling the weighting of the safety component in our Annual incentive Program. Make no mistake, we're fully committed to improving our safety performance and ensuring all our workers go home safely each and every day. Now let me turn to Suncor's differentiated value proposition or what I like to call the makeup of Suncor's DNA. I've been with the company for 22 years, and I've worked in our upstream and downstream businesses, as well as our corporate center. I have a great appreciation of Suncor's assets, business, and people. I know the great potential of this company. I believe we have clear competitive advantages, and I'll start here. First, the scale and strength of our physically integrated portfolio is a one of a kind and a key differentiator on a global scale. While our value proposition starts with the extraction process, it is maximized through processing and physical integration. By leveraging our upgrading and refining assets, the majority of these bitumen barrels are processed into higher-margin barrels, including light synthetic crude oil, gasoline, and diesel. This capability has certainly delivered benefits this year with SCO and distillate commanding record premiums. This almost impossible to replicate processing system is a critical element to Suncor's DNA. A 700,000 barrel per day upgrading complex and a 466,000 barrel per day refining complex that delivers an advantage product mix. The next stage of our value proposition is our physical integration. It allows us to capture value from extraction through to the customer. Our upstream production is physically integrated with our refinery network and from refining to customer. We also have the ability to leverage our extensive logistics and storage network and sophisticated supply and trading organization to ensure that we're maximizing the value of every barrel and liter along the way. Peter is going to talk about how we build on this integration advantage to further drive value for our shareholders when he talks later in the presentation about integration work at Oil Sands. Alister is going to speak to how we've grown cash flow through our supply and trading organization, which is another key part of our integrated model. I see continued opportunity to optimize the integrated platform to drive further value in the future, including leveraging it through energy transition. The second element of our DNA is a significant reserve base with little to no exploration risk. Over 95% of our 2P reserves are long life, low decline to no decline assets with minimal reservoir risk and high recovery factors. This is a significantly lower risk model than a typical pure-play E&P operator who requires successful and ongoing drilling program every year to maintain production. Suncor has bitumen inventory to maintain production well into the future with an overall decline rate of 5%. Volatile pricing has little impact on our NPV in the long run. We have large reserves with long life fixed assets, making our free cash flow robust and sustainable. Our focus is to leverage our scale and integrated model to drive cost and capital efficiency, lower our break even, and maximize margin capture. This is the key to Suncor's advantage. Next, I wanna focus on Suncor's strong balance sheet and cash returns to shareholders. Starting first with cash returns to shareholders. Suncor has a long history of being an industry leader. We're committed to extracting maximum value from each barrel of long life reserve and converting it into growing shareholder value in the form of cash returns consistently and reliably. You can see this in the chart that Suncor has a track record of top-tier shareholder cash returns over the long term. The chart measures our performance against our peers and includes total cash returns, dividends, and buybacks over market cap. We've returned CAD 20 billion or over 1/3 of our market cap from 2017 to 2021, and we did this when WTI averaged CAD 56, which we would consider mid-cycle pricing. Suncor has an attractive and competitive dividend yield. We have bought back 7.5% of our stock, outstanding stock year to date, or 12.5% since the beginning of 2021. A reliable and growing dividend is a core part of our investment thesis, Alister will cover this area shortly. I wanna be crystal clear. The sustainability of the dividend and our ability to grow it is a primary focus of management and the board. In addition to targeting top-tier cash returns over the long run, our Capital Allocation policy has been positioned to ensure the strengthening of the balance sheet. A strong balance sheet is critical to ensure the resiliency of the company in the future. Since January 2021, we've strengthened our balance sheet by paying down CAD 6.2 billion of net debt, excluding FX adjustments. This is approximately 30%, a 30% reduction, and our net debt to adjusted funds from operations is well below 1x at $ 80 WTI. Looking ahead, we're committed to further increasing shareholder returns through our Capital Allocation Framework with a goal of increasing the proportion of free excess free funds flow to shareholders as we continue to strengthen the balance sheet. We expect that to increase to 75% of excess free funds flow to shareholders by the end of Q1 2023 based on our current plans and expected commodity prices. Now turning to our 2023 corporate guidance. We're targeting upstream production of 740,000- 770,000 barrels per day, which accounts for several moving parts versus 2022 due to acquisitions and divestitures. The additional Fort Hills working interest and Terra Nova production are partially offset by the sale of Norway E&P and the anticipated sale of the U.K. E&P business by midyear next year. Total production includes over 70% of SCO and Brent exposed production, both of which we continue to see benefiting from a premium to WTI through the year. As I mentioned, Fort Hills production guidance reflects the recently announced acquisition of the working interest from Teck, which will be effective on April 1st. Our newly and highly experienced leadership team has come in with a fresh perspective and conducted an in-depth review of the asset. This resulted in the start of a multiyear performance improvement initiative. Peter will go through that plan for Fort Hills in more detail later in this presentation. Our E&P production guidance reflects divestments of Norway and the U.K., partially offset by the restart of Terra Nova. Unit cash operating costs are expected to increase by approximately 5% from 2022. This reflects short-term costs related to the new mine plan at Fort Hills, which Peter will speak to, mine progression at Syncrude, which Peter will also cover, as well as inflation impacts across our asset base. We expect refinery utilization and product sales to remain robust and in line with what we've seen in 2022. To be clear, I've heard the feedback from our analysts and shareholders about our past guidance, I can assure you that our 2023 guidance reflects a thorough review of the assets and a balanced approach to setting our performance targets. Our 2023 capital budget prioritizes safe and reliable operations across our sites and strategic high return investments. We're executing our sustaining capital program, including critical turnaround work and a number of economic investments that are well in flight in 2023. We've worked hard to mitigate inflation pressures across the portfolio. You will see that evidenced in our 2022 capital delivery, which is coming in closer to the bottom of the guidance that we set. Our 2023 capital budget of CAD 5.6 billion at the midpoint is comprised of CAD 3.35 billion of sustaining capital and CAD 2.25 billion of economic projects. Sustaining capital includes the incremental capital related to the acquisition of the Fort Hills working interest and is relatively flat compared to 2022 despite continued inflationary pressures. The 2023 budget incorporates more economic investment in 2022 due to the number of high return investments that are in flight. This includes the Mildred Lake extension at Syncrude, expected to start up in late 2025 and which will extend the mine life to 2040, ensuring supply to the upgrader. It also includes the E&P White Rose Project and the U1 Coke Drum Replacement and Cogeneration Projects at Base Plant. We also continue to invest in our retail and wholesale network in line with our plans to optimize that business and grow earnings and cash flow, which I'll talk about in a moment. Again, all of which are high return investments for our shareholders. Now, I'd like to go through our downstream business and in particular discuss the results of the board's strategic review of the retail business. Before I go through this section, as we've announced, the board has decided to hold and optimize the value of the retail network. I recognize the importance and clarity required around this decision for our investors, and therefore, over the next few slides, I wanted to walk through the basis of this important decision by the board. Our refining complex demonstrates world-class performance and is a key element of Suncor's DNA. We have achieved industry-leading utilization rates averaging 11% higher in Canada and 5% higher than in the U.S. national average over the last decade. Notably, in 2020, the strength and resilience of our downstream business was demonstrated through a period of unprecedented demand decline. During that time, our refineries achieved 12% higher utilization than the Canadian average and 10% higher than the U.S. national average. More importantly, this resulted in the business generating 2x more EBITDA per barrel than our closest peer. In 2020, we generated positive LIFO adjusted funds flow of nearly CAD 3 billion. While many of our downstream peers in North America were negative cash flow. In 2021, we continued the trend of top-tier refinery utilization despite significant maintenance activities across all our refineries. These consistent results are a testament to the quality of our assets, our focus on reliability and safety, and the benefits of our unique integrated portfolio. They support our confidence in maintaining industry-leading downstream profitability going forward in what we expect to be a very robust market. A contributor to our competitive advantage is Suncor's Petro-Canada wholesale and retail businesses, and our retail business, which is recognized as the number one fuel brand, representing nearly 1/5 of the Canadian market. The network comprises approximately 1,600 sites across Canada. 50% are company-owned and controlled, 35% are dealer-owned, and 15% being partnership sites. This mix ownership model allows us to retain control of and invest in the most profitable sites and markets while using third-party capital to grow our scale and presence across the country in less densely populated areas. Our controlled sites are typically high traffic, urban and highway sites, and in 2021, generated 57% higher average volume per station than the de-dealer own sites. The full network leverages our Petro-Canada loyalty program. It is the largest in the industry with over 3 million active users. Success of that program is evident through our member transactions, which average 35% higher than non-member transactions. Retail also benefits from a number of strategic partnerships. Our partners bring specific expertise and enhance benefits to our business and include partners such as A&W, quick serve restaurants, or in our loyalty program, partners such as RBC. As I look at the broader integrated portfolio, our Petro-Canada business is part of Suncor fully maximizing the value of each barrel and capturing incremental margin above refinery cracks. As we announced in July, a new board committee comprised of independent directors with advice from independent advisors, as well as management, oversaw a comprehensive analysis of Suncor's retail business. They conducted a fulsome review and assessed a number of alternatives, ranging from holding and pursuing further strategic partnerships through to an IPO or outright sale of the business. These alternatives were measured against key criteria, which included retail's intrinsic value as a standalone business. The committee conducted a deep dive to understand the synergistic benefits that retail provides within the Suncor portfolio. Specifically, the retail business enhances the value of Suncor's integrated model and provides a platform for future cash flow growth and optimization. The board weighed the pros and cons of each alternative with a focus on capturing maximum long-term value for Suncor shareholders. A global market check of value and execution potential, led by independent external advisors, was also conducted to test the viability and attractiveness of the various alternatives. Since the Petro-Canada retail business is reported within the downstream, I recognize that it may be difficult to appreciate its contribution to the overall portfolio. To that end, I'll take you through the value of the retail cash flows and the impact on our integrated business in greater detail. The retail business consistently generates stable, low-risk cash flows. Strong fuel volumes are supported by attractive non-fuel offerings, including a well-established convenience store network, quick serve restaurants, and an industry-leading car wash offering. In fact, our high-graded sites, our full offer sites, have achieved top quartile performance versus peers, driving the stable high teen returns on capital we see within this business. As well, our owned and controlled sites are operated by agents and their employees, a model which reduces the burden and cost to Suncor. Retail is a material contributor to Suncor's overall downstream EBITDA, which ranges from 10%-30% depending on the year. This range reflects the stability of retail cash flows. In 2020, the business generated approximately CAD 660 million of EBITDA, which is about 30% of downstream's EBITDA, despite significant demand and price decline in that year. This downside production strengthens the resilience of Suncor's integrated model by generating cash flows through the commodity cycles. With Canada gasoline demand expected to decline over the long term, retail provides refinery demand security and supports Suncor's industry-leading refinery utilization that I spoke about earlier, and is also Suncor's highest margin demand channel representing 90% of our Canadian refinery gasoline production. We expect gasoline demand could decline by up to 25% by the mid to late 2030s based on current government regulation and forecast EV penetration. Without the controlled demand channel of our retail business or a strong long-term supply agreement that replicated it, Suncor would feel the full impact of market-wide demand decline over time. This scenario would likely result in a need to place higher volumes through lower margin channels such as exports or potentially turn down the refinery utilization due to challenges with placing excess volumes. In a demand decline environment, there's a risk that margin will migrate to the retail end of the value chain, which is a phenomenon that we saw during 2020. Based on the strength of our network, brand, and loyalty systems, as well as our plan to further optimize our network to defend and grow market share, we believe the sales decline for the Petro-Canada network will be substantially lower than the overall market decline, which is a competitive advantage. This will allow us to maintain refinery utilizations at current levels by backing out gasoline purchases from other refineries in Canada or exports, as well as ensure full margin capture. The retail business also enhances overall downstream margins as it is highly interrelated with the wholesale channel, which is the number one share of market in the country through common brand, systems, and markets. These connections provide optionality to secure highest net back for our volumes. Our sales and marketing channels also provide valuable real-time market data, allowing us to optimize our refineries in response to market dynamics and consumer behavior. This was a key part of our strong performance compared to our peers in 2020. It also enhances our ability to pass on increasing carbon compliance costs as we participate in the full value chain. With that background in mind, I now like to turn to the assessment of the alternatives of sale versus hold that the board considered. Based on market testing, which I'll address in a moment, we expect a potential sale value could range from 7x- 9.5x EBITDA. When we adjust for the impact of taxes, standard transaction costs, and the impact of long-term integration value, we believe the net value is 5x-7.5x EBITDA or CAD 3.8 billion-CAD 5.7 billion. The board, through support of independent external advisors, also assessed the inherent value of holding and optimizing the retail business, which is at a similar level on a discounted cash flow basis. While the resulting value to Suncor between selling and holding seems in line on this chart, it must be recognized that a potential sale could take as long as 18-24 months given expected regulatory reviews and complexity. The market valuation I just discussed was based on broad-based comprehensive global market check process conducted by independent external advisors. Through the process, 17 parties, including strategics and financial sponsors, were invited to participate and submit indications of interest in our retail business. Approximately 2/3 of the participants chose to pass for various reasons, including limited focus or familiarity with the Canadian market or concerns with execution or complexity of a transaction of this scale. Upon review of the submitted proposals, it was clear that a premium valuation at mid-teens EBITDA multiples was not unrealistic. Many participants were only interested in a partial acquisition, which deteriorates the synergies that a full single brand network provides, hence impacting valuations. Additionally, some proposals included only partial cash consideration, resulting in delayed value realization to Suncor and its shareholders while immediately impacting Suncor's integrated value model. The board also canvassed feedback from a broad range of stakeholders and investors. The feedback received on Suncor's retail business was largely consistent with board and management's views that the Suncor retail business is a unique business with significant scale and an advantaged network. It is supported by broad consumer appeal and a market-leading fuel brand. A significant market premium would be required to offset the loss of integration value over the long term, and particularly in a long-term decline in gasoline market. This thorough and comprehensive independent market check affirmed the board's views that despite the strength and attractiveness of our retail business, there's limited appetite for an all-cash purchase at what we would consider a significant market premium. Considering the unique benefits of Petro-Canada retail coupled with Suncor's strong execution track record within that business, the board unanimously decided it's in the shareholders' best long-term interest to retain retail and continue to optimize the network to enhance cash flow and value generation. The board views that our Petro-Canada sales and marketing business provides Suncor's downstream with a competitive advantage that cannot be replicated. It provides downside protection via stable, low-risk cash flows and is expected to significantly mitigate the impacts of refining utilization and margin, and margin decline in long-term gasoline demand decline. It is also a platform for cash flow growth through network optimization, strategic partnerships, as we've been leveraging, as well as future profit pools, such as EV charging. This does not mean that we will not continue to evaluate this business in the future like we do with all aspects of our portfolio, but it's clear that it provides value within our integrated business model. The board was unanimous in its full support of an optimization plan that will generate the highest long-term value for our shareholders. This plan is expected to increase the EBITDA in this business segment by 40% by 2027 or 7% CAGR, with modest incremental investment over the next five years. The incremental investments are expected to generate above 20% return on capital in the business and grow market share, thereby strengthening our integrated downstream. Primary initiatives within this optimization plan include high-grading key controlled locations with full offering to achieve stable, high-teen returns. As I mentioned earlier, our high-graded full offer sites have demonstrated top-quartile performance versus peers in the market. In addition to high-grading, we plan to rationalize a portion of our underperforming small C stores and kiosk sites and sites in non-core markets, which make up approximately 50% of the controlled network. We'll also explore further strategic partnerships to strengthen our competitive advantage in the back court through enhanced expertise, technology, and EV charging capabilities. My confidence in the execution of this optimization plan is underpinned by a long track record of delivering results. We've proven we know what we're doing, and we know how to do it well. With that, I'm gonna pass it over to Shelley Powell, our Senior Vice President of In-situ and E&P, and ask Shelley to come join us up on the stage. Shelley. Thank you, Kris. I'm the one on the team that's not 6 ft tall, so, thanks for the lift. Good afternoon, everyone. Like Kris, I have been with Suncor for many years, almost 28, in fact. Over that time, I've worked in two of the refineries in our downstream as well as the Oil Sands Base Plant and In-Situ operations before taking on this new role that has also brought me into the exploration and production business. Over these years, I've seen quite a few changes, along with some challenges and many successes. Today, I hope to provide some insight into the opportunities for the long-term value creation in the In-Situ and Exploration and Production parts of the portfolio. I wanna start with safety, both personal safety and process safety. Personal safety being things like slips and trips, cuts or lacerations, whereas process safety is more related to the pressure envelope of our systems, where we contain high-pressure steam, hydrocarbon, and acids as examples. If these materials were to get outside the pipe, so to speak, then we could have fires or other types of events. Both dimensions of safety are important to monitor and measure. When we look at key personal safety metrics, we've been shifting our focus to include proactive measures that aid in the reporting of near-miss events. These are situations or incidents where had they occurred just slightly different, they could have had life-altering consequences. We need to find these hazards before they find us. We've coupled this approach with an increase in leadership field presence, all with the intention of having a better understanding of the realities that are faced by our frontline workforce. This is about strengthening our safety culture, one interaction at a time. To give you a specific example of how this type of focus can change results, in 2019, we noticed that our dropped objects were one of the top hazards that could lead to a significant life-altering injury. Imagine a hammer being accidentally dropped from the top of a distillation tower. Then imagine someone being struck by that hammer. We were experiencing three to four of these near-miss events a year. No one was being struck, but the objects were falling. Through a focused effort connecting with people in the field doing the work, we were better able to understand how work was happening, and this led to a change in our approach. Since then, we've had zero dropped objects over the past year. On the process safety side of the equation, quite simply, our objective is: If it's supposed to be in the pipe, then we need to keep it in the pipe. We've seen strong performance across In-Situ against the industry benchmark as we come in top tier when measuring against the industry standard Process Safety Event Rate, or PSER. When it comes to safety, we have a strong foundation, but this is not an area that we are ever satisfied with. We will continue to drive improvement in line with the safety improvement plan that Kris identified earlier. Let me transition now and talk directly about the assets. Over the next few minutes, I'm going to give you some insight into the strength and competitiveness of our In-Situ assets, as well as how we see our Exploration and Production portfolio sitting within the overall Suncor enterprise. Let me start with some history. MacKay River began operating in 2002, and Firebag in 2004. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years already, just earlier this month, we celebrated our one-billionth barrel of production. We have many more barrels to produce with a healthy reserve position that will support us for decades to come. In looking at the benchmarks over the last several years, Firebag has performed well on an annual basis as well as on a five-year average. In 2021, Firebag operated at 96% utilization and achieved record production rates. When we compare ourselves to our peers on a five-year average basis, we're an industry leader achieving 3% higher utilization than the peer average. Looking at MacKay River, the five-year average comparison does not benchmark well due to a 2019 process safety event that highlighted the required improvements in our corrosion management process. This incident resulted in an extended outage to complete repairs. More recently, however, MacKay River has seen very strong reliability performance. Now, I wanna take a moment and go into the 2019 MacKay River event because there are some really great learnings. During this incident, we experienced a loss of containment. To use my earlier depiction, the bitumen found its way outside of the pipe and caught on fire, leading to significant damage at the facility. As a part of our investigation, we brought in world expertise and worked directly with our site operations and maintenance specialists and determined that the piping system failed due to high erosion. Subsequent to this event, we have gone back and completed a full process review and a redesign of the piping circuits involved. The new system was commissioned in September. It was great to see that the hazard that caused the 2019 event had been fully eliminated. We also undertook a full review of our entire inspection program at both MacKay River and at Firebag. We reviewed close to 20,000 inspection points to ensure that we were looking in the right places for the right things. We made several changes following that review as well. Change is happening. It does take time. This is a tangible example of learning from an event and acting to eliminate it, not just manage the risk. Now let's look at our cost and capital performance. In Situ, our assets lead the way in the industry when we look at a per-barrel cost and capital spend. We deliver this industry-leading result despite our steam-to-oil ratio, which is a function of the quality of the resource being above the peer median. We are not content, however, to stand still. We are continually working to further improve our cost performance. To stay competitive, our largest lever is reliability and avoiding one-time significant events. Outside of that, we are focused on Capital Efficiency and Productivity improvements. On Capital Efficiency, Peter and I both recognize that we need to deliver a step change in our turnaround cost performance. Peter's gonna touch on that later. I'll leave it up for him to pick up. In recent years, we have been leveraging data from our digital investments to help us squeeze just a little bit more out of our existing assets at a lower cost. I'll provide some examples of that in my next slide. Finally, capturing regional economies of scale with mining and upgrading is a huge opportunity. When you hear from Peter, he is going to share his plans to drive regional integration, efficiency capture, and the elimination of duplication. In Situ will naturally benefit from that work, which will be a key lever in driving further cost reductions in the business. I wanna expand now just a little bit more on the improvement work that we have underway and specifically talk about the tangible benefits that we're already seeing. The first area I'll focus on is steam utilization. We are typically steam constrained at our facilities, meaning that any extra steam that we can produce generally turns into barrels produced. We've taken a real focus on our steam utilization over the last several years, and you can see the impact that that is having. What's exciting about this work is that we've made many small incremental improvements with minimal investment. Things like replacing inaccurate flow meters that were causing erroneous trips. Looking at the 100+ pieces of steam-associated equipment and optimizing our maintenance approach to every single one of them. We've also leveraged our growing digital capability, developing a steam allocation advisor that uses data analytics to allocate steam to wells at Firebag based on what is being observed in the reservoir's performance. This digital capability allows us to constantly optimize steam utilization in real-time. Our operations and technical teams have been great at embracing these changes and are really the ones driving the improvement. The secondary of focus is well pad capital efficiency, or said another way, lowering capital. In In Situ, a large portion of our ongoing capital investment is aimed at well pad additions. We've made our first step change to improving well pad design and construction in 2014 when we implemented a specific design standard. We used that standard like a cookie cutter and replicated the design from one pad to another. That design reduced the pad footprint, reduced the steel requirements, and simplified the process. It delivered a repeatable design, generated construction efficiencies, and ultimately resulted in a 70% capital reduction over the course of four years. More recently, we've made another significant step change in our pad design. It once again simplified the process, reduced steel requirements by 30%, and reduced field execution time by 20%. Overall, this is a 25% reduction in the capital requirements compared to previous designs. In addition to the hardware associated with well pad completion, our drilling team has also been delivering significant improvements. Drilling costs have decreased 35% over the last five years, and this is during a time when we have seen significant increases in the cost of those services. Our early wells were costing us close to CAD 1,200 for every meter that we were drilling, and now we're coming in closer to CAD 700. When we had been taking anywhere from 15-20 days to complete a well pair, we're now down to roughly 10. It really does take all aspects of surface and subsurface coming together to deliver this type of improvement. We've been incredibly successful. The team is now even more energized about what they wanna try and deliver going forward. The third area that I'll focus on is utilizing data analytics to lower costs. We have implemented digital initiatives allowing us to utilize data more efficiently and improve our decision-making. On a per-well basis, this has reduced our controllable cost by 15% since 2019 through both volume improvements and cost reductions. What exactly does this look like? In our subsurface, we've developed a failure management program for our downhole submersible pumps. We've coupled this with a subsurface production module that identifies opportunities to add volumes. Between these two, we've seen mechanical failure troubleshooting time cut in half, dropping from 14 days down to seven on average. Last year, when we lost close to 9 million barrels due to unplanned well trips, this year, we're tracking to an almost 50% improvement. These are just a few examples of the work that we have in flight to continuously improve our business. As you can see, the improvements come from many small wins in many areas, not just big-ticket items. Now, finally, before I move off In Situ, I do wanna look forward and highlight that we have been making strategic decisions in this area as well to allow for growth. Over the last 10 years, we've increased production capacity by 20% through a series of debottlenecks. That's an extra 43,000 barrels a day through incremental changes. Our most recent debottleneck in 2020 added 6% nameplate capacity by expanding emulsion handling and steam-generating capabilities. This has allowed Firebag to deliver record production in 2021 and increase the Firebag nameplate from 203,000 barrels per day to 215,000 barrels per day. Looking forward, there is potential for an additional Firebag debottleneck of 25,000 barrels per day by 2027. This will leverage our existing assets and add production with marginal capital. Beyond 2023, we also know that long-term growth will need to include plans to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically in In Situ, we have a number of pilots underway to better understand how technologies such as solvent-assisted SAGD and non-condensable gas injection will impact our operation, our steam ratio, and ultimately reduce our greenhouse gas footprint. We're also progressing work to understand solvent-dominated technologies that could potentially cut up to 60% of greenhouse gas emissions at our future operations. We're also advancing a number of projects for Firebag as well as the broader oil sands operation to allow for carbon capture and sequestration as part of the industry-associated Pathways Alliance. Finally, before I wrap up and turn it over to Peter, I do wanna touch on our Exploration and Production business. You've seen us make disciplined decisions and streamline this portfolio to increase our focus on Suncor's core business. Within E&P, our strategy is to maximize free funds flow and add diversification to our overall upstream mix. In making our decisions, we look at the future operating potential of an asset as well as its future capital needs. It was through that lens that we took the decision to divest Norway earlier this year and began a sales process of our U.K. assets. Looking forward, we've made and continue to make investments in our East Coast assets. Most recently, completing the asset life extension work on Terra Nova, which will extend the life of that asset by approximately 10 years. As I speak, we are completing the final work scopes associated with that, and we've begun commissioning activities in Spain. We expect to be back online next year. This is an exciting time for Terra Nova, and restarting will be a major milestone. Just to give you a sense of the size of the asset life extension project, we completed over 1.4 million hours of field work. We inspected over 22 km of piping, and we installed over 14,000 kg of new structural steel while executing an extensive sub-sea campaign that had us replace over 2 million kg of chain. We believe that we have completed the right work and made the right decisions to deliver a reliable operation once we start up. Earlier this year, we also decided to start the West White Rose project. There's CAD 1.7 billion of remaining investment net to Suncor, with oil production expected to come online in 2026, with peak net production to Suncor of 30,000 barrels per day. We see the East Coast as an important part of Suncor's overall portfolio for the free funds flow that it generates and the diversification that it adds. With that, I hope I have given you some better insight into the strength and competitiveness of our In Situ assets, as well as the fit of E&P within our portfolio. We will continue to work hard to strengthen our position through continuous improvement and focused decision-making. With that, I'll now pass the presentation to Peter. I'll move my stool. Thanks very much, Shelley. In April, I made the move from my role as CEO of LNG Canada to Suncor. Along with my Shell and LNG Canada experience, I'm bringing over two decades of technical and operational oil sands mining experience across multiple organizations. In my first few months at Suncor, I've had the opportunity to go out and visit each and every one of our oil sands assets, spend time in the field, meet with our people, and see our facilities firsthand. Frankly, it's really good to be back. To get started, I thought I'd share with you four key observations that I've had over the last few months. Our commitment to safety above all else. I've been very impressed with Suncor's absolute commitment to safety. I haven't met anyone in the company that isn't driven to ensure that everyone goes home safe every single day. We are resolved and committed to learn from the tragedies that we've experienced. Our focus areas, which Kris highlighted earlier, are centered around improving our approach to personal safety by leveraging human organizational performance principles, implementing critical controls in the field, strengthening our leadership skills and technology implementation to put us back on track. Our people really differentiate us. Together across the three facilities, we have over 100 years of operating history and experience to draw upon. I've been spending my time on engagement with leadership and our extended teams, aligning on our goals to drive better business results. Our opportunity is in our ability to bring the decades of collective wisdom of our employees together and to deploy the best practice across the breadth of our portfolio. Our operations really do offer a wealth of opportunity. Syncrude and Suncor Base Plant have a demonstrated track record of improvement, and we are focused on high reliability and seeking ways to improve upon our plant turnaround downtime. At Fort Hills, our attention is ensuring that we're managing the mining risks appropriately to take advantage of what is truly a world-class fixed plant, and I'll say a little bit more on that later. Our competitive advantage is in the integration of our assets across the region. First, physical integration provides significant optionality for value uplift by decoupling bitumen production from upgrading demand. Second, Suncor has the added benefit of integrating our people, processes, data, and systems to drive highly competitive, reliable, and predictable business outcomes. If you want a world-class operation to deliver results, you need a world-class team. We've put considerable focus on how to strengthen the organization. External hires have brought considerable mining experience and perspective, and the organizational structure was simplified to drive accountability and continuous improvement. Value delivery is built into how we work. Our regional integration executive acts as the nexus for consistent competitive service delivery across the upstream footprint. At all levels of the organization, we have intentionally cross-pollinated our talent into key roles to accelerate implementation of best practices and consistency of operations. Our value proposition is integration. Building upon our position, having the largest footprint within Wood Buffalo, our regional upstream assets are a key advantage for Suncor. All of our Oil Sands assets are located within a 50-km radius and interconnected via pipelines. This allows us to leverage our area knowledge, economies of scale and negotiating power and coordinate maintenance activities across our assets. The flexibility of our Oil Sands assets provides us with the opportunity to maximize our production value by responding to dynamic markets and managing through internal and external pressures. In the Wood Buffalo region, Suncor is truly a unique producer due to the optionality to flex a mix of bitumen sour and sweet synthetic barrels while optimizing grades. Over the past few years, this flexibility has continued with the commissioning of two projects. First, the interconnecting pipelines can transport heavy and sour crudes between Syncrude and Base Plant. The recent commissioning of the paraffinic froth treatment diluted bitumen integration line that can bring Fort Hills PFT bitumen into the Base Plant upgraders. On a daily basis, we make decisions to maximize the value of Suncor Crude produced in the Wood Buffalo region across our wholly owned Base Plant and In Situ assets and our JV assets, Syncrude and Fort Hills. Our next opportunity is to leverage our regional scale and standardized services. This will drive cost efficiency, reliability improvements, and use of the interconnecting pipelines to improve scope, duration, and the sequencing of turnarounds. Bottom line, the economies of scale on cost and capital, plus the unique physical integration and optionality of our assets will deliver higher free funds flow. 2022 has already been a breakthrough year for value generation. The interconnect pipeline project costs have already been paid off. We are still scratching the surface of the potential with incremental value delivery of over CAD 150 million in 2022 and approximately CAD 200 million since the start of the pipeline. We're not stopping there. We are further exploring opportunities to unlock asset optionality, and we'll continue to optimize the upstream assets toward the integrated economic drivers in support of our value over volume. Integration must be backed by reliable assets. Our Base Plant operations, building on a demonstrated history of reliability improvement, have delivered consistent and steady performance. Physical connectivity has been enhanced with our operatorship of Syncrude, and our people are driving optimization. This will be the first full year Syncrude has been under Suncor operatorship, and it has been exemplary. The Syncrude team has set multiple production records through the first three quarters. This year, I am really pleased to say that we are on track to deliver the best bitumen production year in Syncrude's history. It's 3% better than our prior best that was set 15 years ago in 2017. We've been able to leverage our economies of scale and coordinate turnaround activities to maximize value for the Syncrude asset. At Fort Hills, the fixed plant performance has been strong, and this gives us real confidence in delivering the value from the asset once the mining challenges are resolved. Turnaround maintenance is now complete across all the upstream assets for 2022. This was our first year utilizing our new regional services central turnaround team for work execution. It's been a good first step in standardizing our turnaround delivery model, driving continuous improvement and focusing on reducing our planned downtime in the years to come. I'm laser-focused on two key areas: Safety and Mine Performance. We are fully committed to safety above all else, limiting interactions in high-risk areas by providing the workforce with the technology, training, and tools. On the Mining Performance side, we have over 100 years of operating experience combined with a world-class team. The team is dedicated to capitalizing on regional integration, eliminating duplication, and delivering results to drive a cost-competitive business. We're up against structural factors in the mining that I will review, but in the end, we're smarter than the dirt. Let me start with safety. The more people that you have in your operations, the higher the potential that an incident or injury can occur. With that in mind, our focus over the last six months has been to structurally and sustainably reduce the number of contract workforce supporting our organization and by definition, reduce the risk exposure. Not only is this the right thing to do from a safety perspective, but it's also critical to running an efficient and competitive operation. By mid-2023, our internal goal is to reduce the contract workforce by 20%, and I'm pleased to see that we're well over halfway there. We're putting our attention where it matters most, and that's in the field with our workforce. To that end, we have increased our field leadership positions in mining operations. Leaders now have adequate scope to improve employee engagement, increase review of critical controls, and provide visible safety leadership. Even with these additional field leadership roles, we've been able to reduce our total mining and upgrading employee headcount by 4.5%. We've done this by leveraging our regional delivery model and simplifying our organizational structure to reduce complexity and to sharpen accountability. Our goal is to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries. We are focused on creating a culture where employees, leaders, and contractors are actively using our operational excellence management system to control work, identify hazards, and work together to mitigate risks. Mining, tailings, and drilling operations recognize that we are on a safety journey, and there's a lot of hard work to be done. We've taken stock of the top 10 global mining hazards. Equipment contact and working around ice or water make up the highest consequence and most frequent activity of major incidents. These are our top priorities. We are working in the field engaging our workforce to identify, establish, and enhance the validation and verification of these critical life-saving controls. This will ensure that if something does go wrong, we have mitigations in place. Think about it like driving. We have road rules, training, etc, in place to prevent an accident on the roads. That is not fail-safe. There are extra layers of protection, like a seatbelt, in place to prevent the worst possible outcome and ensure that if we fail, we fail safely. We are focusing on our people. We're leveraging Human Organizational Performance principles. We're creating a safe environment where our workforce is raising concerns and working together to develop practical solutions. Our coaching leadership program uses behavioral-based science to help leaders build relationships. This will help to foster trust and encourage employees to raise concerns and work together to find solutions. Leaders are coached on their interactions in the field with the support of personal coaches and best practice guidance. Rounding out our plan is learning from incidents. We have been working to improve how we learn by setting up teams to leverage the causal learning methodology and take a systems-based approach to incident investigations. That will help us to identify missing or failed barriers. These will be developed into concrete actions shared across our operations that reduce the consequence or prevent an incident from occurring. We're not standing still. As Kris laid out in the Q3 call, we have a large number of technology-based safety enhancements already established and in place. Our next tranche of projects is in flight and delivering results. These projects are designed to directly mitigate the top global mining hazards that I highlighted to you previously. Collision Awareness is a system enabling operators to have a 360 degree view to hazards in their area. With this technology, our mining equipment can communicate with other units. That provides operators with enhanced situational awareness. The system sounds alerts for a potential collision, which allows operators early response and avoidance. The scope for this project is broad, with installations occurring in over 1,000 pieces of mobile mining equipment. Suncor will be the first oil sands operator to implement a full-scale collision awareness implementation. The fatigue management solution instantly alerts our operators if fatigue or distraction sets in. Within a 24-hour a day, seven-day-a-week operation such as ours, fatigue is one of the leading causes of risk to operators. The entire goal of this project is to reduce fatalities and injury from fatigue and distraction-related incidents. It will allow us to provide our workforce with the required skills to manage fatigue in a healthy way. These technologies support our commitment to prevent mobile equipment contact. We are ahead of schedule on our implementation plan and on track to have the entirety of our mining fleets fully outfitted with both technologies. Finally, I thought it was important to highlight we've been assessing and improving the effectiveness of mobile equipment egress and rescue controls across Suncor-operated sites, which is critical when working around ice and water. Our goal is to enhance the operational focus on incident rescue controls, including egress and emergency response to reduce personal safety incident consequences and prevent fatalities. Moving now over to my second priority, mine performance. We've got a real opportunity to leverage the collective experience across the breadth of our assets to simplify, standardize, and leverage internal benchmarking to drive improvements. We are operating some of the largest mines in the world with a collective material movement over 1.2 billion tons per year and little things matter. Small improvements in operations with our scale make a huge difference on the bottom line. The flywheel effect is large. As the mines progress, the structural factors that impact operating costs increase. Those are longer hauling distances, increased strip ratios, which is the equivalent amount of material moved per ton of ore. Our goal is to operate the most efficient and productive mining operations to offset as much as practical these structural factors and improve our competitiveness. Having operatorship of the three assets and four mines allows us to zoom out and look at this as a large regional operation. We're implementing mining resource opportunities across the region to improve production and cost outcomes. Standardization of best practices to deliver repeatable and predictable outcomes. Cross-pollinating mining talent, deploying regional maintenance and operating strategies to optimize equipment performance are just a few of the exciting areas to unlock. With a little over a year of Syncrude operatorship under our belt, we're pleased with the performance of the asset. We've been able to achieve the CAD 300 million of gross operating costs and capital synergy committed through workforce efficiencies and regional optimization. We will continue on capturing more. 2022 has been a record year of delivery for Syncrude on a number of fronts. Best ever bitumen production, upgrader utilization is now approaching the 90% mark. The interconnect pipeline flexibility is unlocking significant value both on bitumen and on coker hours. Looking at this holistically, we've been able to mitigate risk from both planned and unplanned operational events by adjusting and aligning maintenance activities across the region. The team has even been able to add incremental power production to take advantage of the strong electricity market that we've seen. It's an exciting time for Syncrude, and more is possible as we learn and further embed our regional operating model. Continued mining efficiency improvement will be critical as the structural mine progression factors increase. You can see from the slide, there is a planned increase to mining parameters year-over-year. Higher mining parameters are a result of higher earth-moving activities due to tonnage and tailings requirements. Syncrude synergies, such as workforce reduction, coordinated maintenance, and regional collaboration are not fully offsetting the year-over-year increase to mining KPIs and rates. Our objective is to run an extremely productive mining operation with further value generation and upgrading to offset as much as practical those elements which are a structural reality. Now let's talk about Fort Hills operations. With a reliable world-class fixed plant, our focus and attention is on the mine. Let me give you an appreciation for the sequence of events that our team will execute over the next 36 months to improve our mining operations and set the asset up for improved long-term performance. Fort Hills is comprised of three distinct mining pits. South Pit, where we are currently finishing up. Center Pit, which has a pit life of approximately three years, and which we'll begin mining next month in December. The North Pit, which is the largest pit, holding the bulk of the reserves and scheduled to start mining in mid-2024. This will be an accelerated sequence of mine development relative to our historical plans as we transition rapidly in the next three years from south to center to ultimately north and final pit. There are two issues in the South Pit driving the acceleration to open up new mining areas. The Small Footprint and Pit Geometry are negatively impacting fleet production. The water seeps in the pit floor and the pit wall instability have increased ore sterilization and decreased mineable ore inventories, but this has not impacted the overall asset life. Basically, we're unable to meet the fixed plant production rates with the location of the available ore in the smaller South Pit. Short-term production and mining efficiency impacts that are present when opening up new mining areas are anticipated in the 36-month window while establishing Center and North Pits. With the updated mine sequencing, advancing North Pit will offset these productivity impacts outside of the 36-month window once it is fully operational. The Fort Hills mine and geology is complex, and we have learned a lot since the South Pit was opened back in 2018. Applying these learnings, the plan builds in appropriate risk controls and sequences necessary material balance requirements to maintain both tailings containment and ore inventory. Go slow to go fast. We're taking the necessary steps now to ensure that we are set up well for the future. This is a 40+ year life asset. Once we are in and well established mining in the North and Final Pit, we expect to be able to reliably and relatably achieve 90% of the nameplate production capacity in a stable manner. At the same time, we are exploring synergies with our adjacent operations on both mining material movement and bitumen production. Let's zoom in a little bit on our production plans. Our team has spent considerable effort over the last few months reviewing the business plan assumptions to deviations in our actual operating performance and current field environment. Appropriate adjustments have been made to reflect prudent mining risk management with some performance improvement stretch. This is the basis of a credible plan that is rooted in reality and technical fundamentals. In 2023, our annual production will be at a reduced rate of 145,000 barrels per day, which includes turnaround in the third quarter. Production will gradually build through the year, managing ore inventory with a sufficient range to meet material balance requirements required for tailings fluid containment. The production profile also includes the first major turnaround driven by regulatory inspections on the utilities. The new processing equipment will be installed in the fixed plant, which opens up the operating envelope and allows us to produce higher fines ores, which will be critical to our delivery in 2024+. Over the next three years, while managing the physical mine constraints, we will prudently and gradually ramp up our production. We will mitigate and balance the risks discussed to stabilize the mine health at the front end. There is light at the end of this timeframe. The establishment of North Pit allows for a full-scale, unconstrained open pit mining techniques. We will have sufficient strike length, which will allow us to increase our production delivery back to nameplate and drive mining productivity improvements. Once into an established North Pit, this will allow us to reintroduce AHS, which is Autonomous Haulage, into the Fort Hills operation. In spite of the mining risks and near-term constraints, we are still committed to driving down our operating costs and capital. We've stood up an internal task force and set a target to bring down our absolute cash costs by CAD 300 million per year by 2025. They are leaving no stone unturned and have already made some significant progress on OpEx reductions this year, realizing workforce efficiencies, both contractor and company, reducing mine maintenance costs, and improving contractor mining production. Capital costs through 2025 are aligned with the center and North Pit mine development and tailings containment requirements. We expect capital costs to reduce post-2025 as mine pit infrastructure requirements reduce and sustained operations are further established. There's much more to come as the physical mine constraints begin to ease, and we will be able to drive further productivity from our mining fleet. As I stated before, little things add up to a lot in this business, and we'll be working hard to sustain and embed both best practices and competitive mindset into our operation. With that, I'll hand it over to Alister. Thanks, Peter. As Kris noted at the start, Suncor's key competitive advantage or DNA as it is really around our processing and physical integration, our large long life, low decline reserves, and a track record of shareholder returns. Peter just walked through some key improvements that are being carried out across the assets. We recognize the issues in that area, and we've developed a robust plan to improving that area of our portfolio. Let me start by revisiting our prior commitments, and I'll break these into sort of three areas. First, initiatives that are complete and have already strengthened our margin capture. These initiatives are already adding about CAD 800 million of free funds flow in 2022, and I'll discuss these on the next slide. Second, digital or productivity initiatives which are being progressed across the company. The two key ones, the company-wide systems replacement and mine optimizations are already in place. The systems integration was wide reaching, integrating and standardizing our business processes from our upstream to our downstream businesses. As we move out of the stabilization phase, we'll continue to optimize these new systems and realize cost reductions and other benefits through 2023 and 2024. As it relates to mine optimization, we've made several changes to our productivity through Digital Technology and Autonomous Haul Systems. However, as Peter walked through in his section, there's various updates to the mine plans that will require some adjustments to our cost outlook. I will detail the impact of this category from an overall lens of the total cost structure of the company. Thirdly, we've added new physical assets. Forty Mile Wind, which we delivered on time and on budget of CAD 300 million. As we announced last month, we sold this asset at over 10x cash flow and a significant gain to really drive improved fit and focus of our portfolio. The other asset is a CAD 1.4 billion cogeneration power facility that's embedded within our base plan, and this is expected to come online in late 2024. Now, this project reduces carbon emissions across our value chain by about 5 megatons a year compared to our coal baseline and improves the reliability and efficiency of our operations. If I look at it at sanction, our rate of return on this asset was close to 20%, but with the current higher power prices, certainly in Alberta, our return is gonna be significantly higher than that. This investment clearly achieves a balance between our net zero emissions goal and our cost and reliability goals while delivering a superior financial return. On this slide, there are four initiatives that are complete in delivering the CAD 800 million of annual increased free funds flow that I talked about today. Once the Cogen is online in late 2024, this will grow to well over CAD 1.2 billion annually. These are structural improvements to Suncor's production or throughput and the physical integration of assets, all of which serves a strategy to maximize the value of every barrel. We have completed debottlenecks at Firebag, Edmonton Refinery, and the Burrard Terminal. All are operating extremely well to provide us with about CAD 250 million of free funds flow in 2022. As Shelley mentioned earlier, there's a potential 25,000 barrel a day debottleneck at Firebag by 2027 that we'll continue to explore. Our interconnecting pipelines between Base Plant and Syncrude reached payout earlier this year within two years of operation. These are adding CAD 150 million of annual free funds flow net to Suncor. With this pipeline, we can maximize the potential of each asset, and we expect to move approximately 6 million barrels of product. That's roughly 17,000 barrels per day between Base Plant and Syncrude in 2022. Historically, the Syncrude mine has paced the upgrader. As Peter noted, the Syncrude mine's best year ever was this year in 2022. The pipeline infrastructure between the two plants enables the decoupling of the mine and the upgrader at Syncrude in the same way as they are decoupled at Base Plant. It's helped alleviate production impacts during maintenance periods, thereby ensuring smooth, continuous feed to the upgraders, maintaining the high utilization rates at both Syncrude and Base Plant. I'm extremely pleased by the results that we're seeing with this asset. Our Supply and Trading organization is stronger than ever before, and we see its benefits in both the upstream and the downstream. In upstream, our price realizations are well above benchmark and peers. In downstream, we're focusing on high-value demand channels and capturing market dislocations. Both of these result from strong marketing and trading expertise, an extensive physical logistics network, and slate optimization that is informed by live market data and feedback. Lastly, past tailings management has been a step-change technology that's allowed us to shorten the timeline to reclamation, avoid expensive terrestrial work, and significantly reduce the amount of land disturbance. Base Plant is the only oil sands operation to reduce its tailings inventory below 2014 levels. Improvements in this area are saving us approximately CAD 200 million each year. Let me talk about costs. We're making concrete progress on driving the expected benefits of digital initiatives into our cost base through 2022, 2023, and 2024. However, our expectations of being able to reduce overall operating costs have been impacted by significantly higher inflation and mine progression costs than expected. We're definitely seeing the benefits of increasing commodity prices on the revenue line, and our job is therefore to mitigate the impacts of these on the cost line, which is proving challenging. As you can see, people costs, through employee and contract services or labor, are the most significant proportion of our operating costs, combined approximately two-thirds. We've already reduced employee and contractor numbers and will continue to focus on further reductions over 2023 and 2024 as we realize the benefits of our systems implementation and other digital initiatives. Now, these reductions are mitigating inflation impacts on labor rates, which are significant here at between approximately 5%-15%, depending on category. As Peter discussed, the mine progression, which includes more tonnage moved and truck hours, are offsetting the productivity gains we are achieving on a per unit basis. We see this most at Syncrude, where we've completed a detailed mining review, our first since we took over as the operator last year. At Fort Hills, we're seeing the impacts of the revised mine plan, plus the costs related to the additional 21% interest we recently acquired. As it relates to materials, we're seeing significant benefit through really excellent work across the company to fight inflationary pressures. That's driven by improved understanding of the additional data we're getting from our systems implementation. As you can see, about 20% of our cost structure is facing a 2% escalation next year, and that's well below current pressures due to inflation and supply chain disruptions. Each of these areas continued to put pressure on 2022 costs, and as a result, we're expecting to end the year towards the high end of our cash cost guidance across all of our Oil Sands assets. CAD $36 per barrel at Syncrude and CAD $30 per barrel at each of Oil Sands and Fort Hills. If I step back and look at our overall cost structure, our 2023 total costs are forecasted to be approximately 5% higher than the current year with a 2%-3% overall pro-production increase. Our focus as a management team is to continue to drive further cost reductions across the business in the face of these inflation and progression headwinds. Let's discuss what it all means for shareholder returns in 2023. As Kris highlighted earlier, we've been a leader in returning cash to shareholders over the past 10 years, and we intend to continue to focus on that. Now, as I noted on our Q3 call, we intend to look past the overall foreign exchange noise on our U.S. denominated debt. Therefore, based on our plans and current commodity price expectations. We expect to proceed to a 75% allocation of free funds flow, that is, after dividends and capital to share buybacks by the end of Q1 2023. Looking at dividends, these are the key element of shareholder return, and we recognize that while commodity pricing is currently higher, our dividend needs to be sustainable throughout all price cycles. With current input commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, our sustaining capital and dividend breakeven is mid-$40 WTI today. We fully intend to grow the dividend as we demonstrated this month with the 11% increase in the quarterly dividend, our second dividend increase this year. There are two levers to dividend growth, which are independent of crude or crack commodity pricing. First, as operational performance and optimization of the business continues to demonstrate momentum, we'll incorporate this in our view around dividend growth. Secondly, as we continue to execute upon our share buyback program, the lower share count will allow us to increase per share dividends without impacting our breakeven. While variable dividends are not off the table in the future, my focus remains on sustainably growing our dividend and leveraging share buybacks for cash return, given the significant undervaluation of our share price today. With that, I'm gonna hand it back to Kris I will mercifully keep this brief. I realize we've just kept everyone for 90 minutes. I hope that was very interesting and full of information for people. Let me wrap up. I'm gonna go to your questions. You know, we've walked through our detailed plan to return Suncor to its industry-leading position in safety and operational excellence to drive increased shareholder returns. We have a unique asset base, which is unparalleled in its advantage with scale, integration, and long-life, low-decline reserves. It simply can't be replicated. We're further bolstering it with prudent investments and deliberate action across the portfolio to drive greater results. We're driving disciplined capital allocation to ensure the strength of the company and to deliver superior shareholder returns. Our biggest value drivers are the consistency, reliability, and improvement of our Oil Sands business and the leveraging of our integrated model to its full potential. Our asset leaders have spent significant time going through a detailed review of safety execution, mine plans, plant reliability, and turnaround plans across the asset portfolio. The rigor of this work at the asset and field level and the focus of the leaders is what's gives me confidence in our 2023 plans and our ability to execute them as to deliver value to our shareholders. In addition to working with my team to ensure a solid plan for 2023 that we can continue to build on, I've also worked with the board to increase fit and focus of our asset base. You've seen this through the disposition of the renewable power business and our E&P offshore assets, while also opportunistically acquiring more working interest in Fort Hills, an asset that is core to our oil sands integrated model and which I am confident is going to deliver long-term value. I'm pleased with the progress so far, but more work needs to be done. With credible safety and operational improvement plans underway, my focus is on delivery and driving further improvement across all aspects of our business, including further cost and capital efficiency and realizing the full potential of our assets and integrated model. As well, driving our focused safety plan, which includes doubling the weighting of our safety component in our annual incentive plans. I'm working every day with the executive team and our leaders across this business to drive focus and follow through in all aspects of our business and deliver. With that, I'm going to conclude the prepared remarks. I'm gonna thank everybody again for your attention. 90 minutes is a long time to sit in one place. What we'll do is I'm gonna invite the operational leaders and Alister up to the stage, and we'll take some questions. Please just raise your hand, say your name and company, and then someone's gonna come by with the mic. If you just give us a moment to get situated, I see we have a question down front already. I guess we don't need mics. Right. You need a mic. Good.[audio distortion] I got mine right here. Hi there. It's Doug Leggate from Bank of America. Thanks everybody for your presentations. I guess I know you didn't wanna really go into the five-year outlook in any detail today, but you did, Alister, in your presentation on slides 45 and 46, it looks like a little bit of an update. I wonder if you could help us reconcile the numbers. It looks like the categories you laid out in last year's presentation were about CAD 700 million. Today, they add up to about CAD 1 billion, but there's another-CAD 1.15 billion that you haven't talked about, but you've talked a lot about cost offsets. I guess the question is how much of the CAD 2.15 billion do you believe you've achieved today? I can take that. What do you think is left? That's my first question. Yeah, I'll take it. I've got a follow-up. I'll take it. No, thanks. Thanks. I'll hand it to Alister just to supplement. I think, you know, the, there's two components I think you heard in today's presentation. The first one is, we've talked about margin and revenue enhancement and the activities behind that. CAD 800 million was what Alister talked about, and then with the completion of the projects, the investments, we see a total of CAD 1.2 billion. We've got line of sight of that. We see that very clearly. The cost reduction side, we've been driving cost reductions. Now, admittedly difficult to see in some respects because we've got two things that we've talked about today. One is we have structural cost issues in the near term we need to work through. Peter talked about that in terms of Fort Hills and also the Syncrude asset, where it just happens to be in its mine life at this moment with progression, haul distances and that sort of thing. Along with some inflationary headwinds that we did not countenance three, four years ago when we were talking about these targets. The cost reductions in the system are real, and they're offsetting, and that was what Alister was communicating. If I think about it from that perspective, Doug, of the CAD 2 billion that we've been talking about, CAD 1.2 million in margin revenue enhancement, line of sight. A lot of it's actually been accomplished. We have line of sight to the rest of it. Cost reduction, we've been seeing really good progress. It's offset a significant amount, and we have to continue. Remember, this was going through the next couple of years. The next two years is really driving further cost reduction. The way I think about the CAD 2 billion is this. We've put a lot in the bag. We have more to do, and quite frankly, the way I think about it is talking about a CAD 2 billion from three, four years ago is actually not the right conversation anymore because we actually have to do more and we have to go deeper. The focus is gonna be going forward. I think right now we've demonstrated a lot of great track record in actually accomplishing a lot of the things we're setting out. We're gonna finish the play on what we've been saying, but we're gonna be working, and Peter talked a little bit about that in his presentation. Peter even gave some examples that weren't, you know, that are new, quite frankly, in how we're gonna drive cost efficiencies, as well as continue to invest in the business and optimize. There's far more opportunity left in the asset base than what we've seen to this point as well too. Thank you. My quick follow-up hopefully is for Alister. I don't know what about everybody else's numbers, but if we look at your free cash flow trajectory over the next year or two, it seems you're gonna hit your CAD 9 billion net debt target middle of next year. How should we think about what you do with surplus cash after that? Buybacks, are they 100%? In which case, what does your dividend growth look like? I'll leave it there. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, Doug. I would say that depending on what commodity price you're gonna use, depending on the timing of it. I would say that, you know, we fully expect to hit a CAD 12 billion net debt for the next few months. We're moving to 75%, as we talked about, by the end of Q1. You know, as soon as we get to the CAD 9 billion, it's 100% back to buybacks. Dividend growth. Yeah. The dividend growth, as I've talked about, is really driven by the two drivers. There's underlying improvements in the business, and it's a result of lower number of shares from the buyback. It's not driven by commodity price. That's right. A question back here, too, at that speaker. Thank you. Hi there. It's Dean Highmoor from Mackenzie Investments. This is a question for Kris. I really appreciated the detail on the retail, process that you went through, so thank you for sharing that. I'm interested in that slide, you have, I think it's slide 22, where you're growing the retail EBITDA from, say, CAD 700 million-CAD 1 billion by 2027. I'm also interested in that prediction of the decline in Canadian gas demand, by, let's say, 25% to, like, late 2030s. I guess my question of this long story is, what's the resiliency of that CAD 1 billion on the retail cash flow? How do you see your market share changing over time? It seems like that CAD 1 billion is at risk if you have a 20% volume decline in that business over time. Yeah, no, thanks for that. Retail is detail. Those two pieces, it's a great way you just asked the question to put those two things together. In terms of the plan to grow the contribution of the business, I purposefully use the word optimize because recognize that the way I describe this is we're actually gonna get smaller across the network to generate more and to create more resilience in the gasoline front court as well as our full offer on the back. Our intent and plan is actually rationalize the network because when we put investment into full offer sites, as I described in my presentation, we've demonstrated top quartile results in the Canadian market. We have the strongest fuel brand in the Canadian market, and we have a full offer that's competes with anybody on the street. Between our fuel brand, our network, which is our dirt strength, and our loyalty platform and our engagement with customers, we think we've got a stickiness, and we've demonstrated that others, you know, it's the top in the market. The plan is let's optimize this network. Let's reinvest in the areas that are gonna increase actually the volume and the cash contribution while also getting smaller. We'll actually generate some net cash in that respect. The other piece is when we talked about the gasoline demand decline, I mean, that's based on a lot of different analysis and different points of view, and we can have this debate about is it 10%, 25%, whatever the number may be. What I would say is we've got confidence that the direction of travel and gasoline demand in Canada is going to be south or not to the U.S., but, you know, going down over the next couple of decades. You know, 25% is a fair proxy just based on where we see regulation and how I think about forecast EV penetration. A lot of things can happen between here and there, and I'll tell you, I've been around the business long enough as well. We've been forecasting decline actually for quite a long time, and the only thing that I've really seen impact gasoline demand to this time in my career is COVID. That's been a real intervention into the demand market. Our view is let's prudently optimize this network, which has all these advantages. Let's actually create strength in the market. We can strengthen it further. I have a tremendous amount of confidence in our ability to generate that EBITDA growth within the business, and the payback will be well within a reasonable window of time. I think it creates more resiliency for us, as I described in the presentation. Who will be losing market share over time? 'Cause I'm sensing that you think you're gonna have better sites, more car washes, whatever, you're gonna pull more whatever's left of that gasoline demand to your stations. Yeah. I mean. Who's gonna be hurting from that? I'm not gonna call out any specific names or brands or anything like that. If you think about it and look at the retail gasoline network in Canada, right? Which actually was interesting because for many years, the number of sites in Canada was going down. The last few years, it's actually started going back up. That's interesting. I think what you're gonna see is you're gonna see a rationalization in the market over time, and you're gonna see the underperforming sites or weaker brands, they're the ones who are gonna be on the front edge of that. They're gonna feel that demand decline faster than the strong brand loyalty platform, advantage network, business execution. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks. Oh, there was a second one. Hi. Greg Pardy at RBC. Thanks very much for the presentation. Why don't we maybe just to go back to Fort Hills for a minute, I'm just trying to better understand the plan and the de-risking that's in place. Was the decision to mine the South Pit initially driven by haul distances? Then kind of related to that, how much de-risking, how much subsurface work have you done on the North Mine, and how much de-risking of that plan is in place now? Yeah. I'm gonna pass this one over to Peter, Greg. Yeah. I would say the decision to mine the South Pit predominantly driven by haul distances and ore grade. You wanna get the you know, highest grade into the plant as soon as possible. While this was always the progression in the mine plan to go from S outh to Center to North Pit, it is an accelerated sequences of events, as I mentioned in my presentation, that's driven by the risk factors that we've encountered over the years in the subsurface. I believe we have a good understanding of what those risks are and how they present themselves in the center and in the north pit. We've done quite a bit more geological work to prove out, you know, not only the ore body, but the risks associated with that. We've got a good plan as we transition it. It's just we're in this zone right now where geometry is constrained, if you will. That drives less efficiency in our mining operations. As we, you know, do that hop, skip, and a jump ultimately to the north pit, that opens up a broad, you know, swath and allows for much more productive mining than what we're seeing right now. All right. I'll shift gears. I wanted to go back to something that Shelley was talking about, where you've, in essence, sort of been fighting fires over the last number of years. If you were to put your finger on where things began to slip, does that have a lot to do with just not enough proactive maintenance or monitoring, like trying to get the barrels on and less concerned around how you did it? Has that changed? Is that the right characterization? I'm just trying to better understand causality and what you're changing now in terms of your approach. Thanks very much. Yeah. Shelley can talk specifically to In Situ, Greg. You know, if I think back to some of the reliability that we've seen over the last couple of years, and Shelley gave a very specific example, it's not like we've seen that issue that Shelley's been talking about across our assets. I think Shelley, the point of Shelley's example there was, one, there was something on the graph that actually needs explaining, and second is to be clear on actually how we dealt with it as well, too. We have a long history in the company of reliability and focus and maintenance plans. We have a lot of great examples I can point across the organization in the downstream, or Peter gave a great example in upgrading at Base Plant and the reliability journey there. That said, we've seen some reliability issues over the last couple of years, and some of them. That one's a specific one. We had an issue last year with a cold weather event that you may recall that was in our In Situ business as well as it affected mining. I can tell you the team's done a tremendous amount of work around what the causes were around that particular issue, and we talked about it specifically. That's been resolved. You know, I make sure that when we think about the reliability of Suncor to first of all, put in the larger context. Secondly, we do recognize that there's areas in our business that have to perform more consistently and reliably than what we've seen. I think the other piece is what you've heard from Peter today, is that really a big focus here is the mine in Fort Hills, and I have a lot of confidence in the plan that Peter and his team have put together. The other piece is in Syncrude, we're really happy with what we're seeing, and we're starting to see that reliability story really trend in the right direction. Peter and his team are all over the mine, because we're just in that point of the mine life. Shelley, because Greg asked specifically, was there anything that came to mind for you? Yeah, I think I'd say it was no one thing in my mind. You know, similarly going forward, it isn't gonna be any one thing that, you know, that is gonna change the trajectory. I think it's a culmination of a lot of things that we've talked about here today. I'd certainly probably put the emphasis under one of the things that, I think it was Peter mentioned it around getting causal learning as a new approach to incident investigation. Making sure that we're truly understanding the root of some of these things that are happening to us as a go forward to make sure that we're eliminating them once and for all. To me, you know, looking forward, that's really where I would put the emphasis on one of the things we're doing different that has really started to pay dividends already. Let me just add one other quick thing, Greg. You know, one of the things this executive team has spent a lot of time in the last four months on, in particular, I mean, we've been talking about this safety journey and a lot of the focus on safety and around engagement. The other side of it, which maybe didn't come across as clearly in our remarks, is the focus on our operating, our Operational Excellence Management System. Our systems to manage risk, which we've had in place for a number of years, and which are quite strong in a lot of dimensions. We implemented that over a decade ago. The team is doubling down and back in and looking those systems to ensure that do we understand if there's any weaknesses or gaps in the systems, and we have a full piece of work underway related to that as well too, to strengthen where we're at. Thanks, Greg. There's two up here at the front table. Thank you. Can you hear me okay? Yeah. Hi, this is Nicolette Slusser on for Neil Mehta with Goldman Sachs. Just first on the safety point and kind of a follow-up here, and understand you're kind of going through the initial workings of the contractor headcount reductions, but can you just talk about any initial learnings from that, and then, also how you're particularly monitoring Fort Hills as you're moving through this colder weather time and the ramp from South to Center? Great questions. I'm gonna. Yep. To Peter. I'll speak about the contractor efficiencies first because, I know our initial approach is really to start to take, you know, the waste out of the system, if you will. We're trying to get much more sophisticated on our approach across the assets, so balancing out maintenance schedules as an example. By definition, as I said in my presentation, the less people you have, the less probability for an incident. You know, that is all the right thing to do for safety, it's also the right thing to do to run an efficient business. Beyond that, much beyond that, we are really focusing on these Human Organizational Performance principles. That's really the approach that we as humans are, you know, we're fallible, that things can go wrong, and we're really focusing on if something does go wrong, how can we protect against the worst possible outcomes? That's really resonated with our teams. We're building leadership capability in that regard. We're building on causal learning, fundamentally taking a different approach to drive a different safety outcome. At Fort Hills, as we approach the winter, the winter weather, always a factor in the mining business. We actually like winter weather 'cause it so, you know, solids up the roads and makes the vehicles go faster and improves the productivity. The key factor in Fort Hills that we're monitoring right now is exposed ore inventory. This is basically the buffer of inventory we have to buffer out any instability in the operations. Between that and driving for the right material balance for, you know, tailings containment, fluids, tailing containment, those are the two big factors that we're focused on maintaining. Great. Thank you. The second is just a follow-up here on longer-term CapEx. I know you alluded to the CAD 3.35 billion of sustaining. If you can just talk about any sort of delta longer term between the prior CAD 5 billion ceiling target that was there, and how we should be thinking about that after 2023. Yeah. I think, you know, first of all, in the sustaining capital, we've been running kind of around that range, sometimes below, sometimes around or a little above. The focus on the sustaining capital, I think actually Shelley mentioned it, and maybe Peter mentioned in his point too, is actually driving opportunities for capital efficiency in our sustaining capital, and the big opportunity there for us is turnaround. We've got a piece of work underway right now around looking at our turnaround execution. Not just the execution, quality of the work execution, as well as, duration and, frequency. We've done some of that work in the past. Like for instance, in the refineries, we were able to lengthen some of our turnaround frequencies, and some of that's actually happened up in the Oil Sands as well too. That's a big opportunity. On sustaining, our view is gonna be how do we drive better capital efficiency and turnaround, but also in sustaining capital in general. That's a piece too, I think, comes to Peter's point that we see this opportunity on the regional basis, is how can we actually leverage the full region even more to drive our capital intensity down from a sustaining capital perspective. That's gonna be a big focus of the team. You know, in terms of our economic investment, the rest of the portfolio, it's gonna be right-sized as we go forward for the company. You know, I'm not looking to put a hard cap on, but I'm not looking for us to spend more capital than we absolutely need to spend to, one, make sure this business is gonna deliver and do what it needs to do, and two, any investment's going to grow this at outsized returns for our investors. As I mentioned, we're in a point right now where we've got a number of things in flight. These are really good investments for the company and its shareholders right now. That's gonna be the focus. The last piece of that is what Alister Cowan is talking about. Look at that from a total capital allocation perspective, because to the point Doug asked earlier about dividend and sustainability of the dividend, I'm committed to the sustainability of the dividend and growing that prudently over time. The second part is return of cash to shareholders. You can count on us that we're gonna be looking at that consistently. Sorry, just a quick question on that, clarification. Yeah. Is that turnaround outlook, is that different than kind of what you had been thinking about in the CAD 5 billion number? Are these kind of new initiatives, or is this sort of a build on of, you know, prior workings? Yeah. I think, you know, we've made some progress. As with last couple of years, I don't want to discount progress as has been made by the teams around turnaround, but I quite frankly think we can do more than what we've been doing, and I think we have real opportunity over the next 2-3 years. Great. Thank you. Thanks. Hi, I'm Elizabeth Hiss from Brown Advisory. The first question was just you mentioned the doubling of the safety-based incentive. Can you just quantify what some of those metrics are? Sure. Kind of how extensive that is applied throughout the organization? Yeah, absolutely. The way we set our incentive structure program for employees, this is your annual bonus program I'm talking about in this particular case. We've always had safety and what I'll call the controllables, cost, production, sales are in a scorecard for the organization to drive alignment to targets. We've always had these metrics, and they've also been what you would call the classic safety metrics, which is recordable injury frequency, which is where you're essentially measuring how many time people. It could be anything from something very serious to someone cutting their hand, and you're measuring that frequency. That's an industry standard. We also measure what's called loss of primary containment, which is another industry standard. How many times do things come outside the pipe? We set targets around those to drive them down. What I'm doing this year are two things. One, this is in working with this team here. One is we're adding another safety metric called serious injury and fatality actuals. I wanna drive the recordable injury frequencies down. I care about people who get hurt tripping or cutting their hands. We absolutely care about that. What we really care about is people who seriously get hurt or if there's a fatality. There's not a lot in the industry doing this right now. We looked around. There are a few that are doing it. We benchmarked as best we could, but we're introducing that as a metric within our performance scorecard. In terms of the weighting, typically the weighting within our scorecard towards safety has been in the 12%-15% range, which is not atypical. We did some benchmarking. We're gonna be upping that to almost to around 22.5%, almost a quarter of the safety, which there are some companies who have done that, and that's the upper end. That's kind of near them. We're not doing something that others haven't done, but we're actually increasing towards the upper end of what we're seeing others do in that space. Quite frankly, we wanna align the organization to drive improvement and drive a lot of focus on it. A small follow-up was just during the kind of WCS differential dynamic, have you kind of quantified publicly how impactful that was on a kind of feedstock cost reduction or kind of royalty? Yeah, it's interesting. Alister may jump in on this one, but you know, the WCS, the light heavy differential, we're really quite insulated to it. The reason that we're insulated to it is a large portion of our production's upgraded. Then you have royalties and royalties on a bitumen basis. Then you also have our downstream where we further integrate into higher value products. At the end of the day, when we see a widening of the light heavy differential, it really doesn't have an effect on our cash flow model. In fact, could in some cases, be a slight positive just because of the mix that we have within our system. I don't know, Alister, if you'd. No, I think you covered it. Yeah. Well there. Yeah. There's one, oh, here it is. Yeah. Thanks. Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dennis Fong from CIBC. The first question that I have is just, and maybe this is a little bit for yourself, Kris, and maybe Peter. In the past, there had been some discussion around remaining life at base mine. How does maybe the revised strategy that you have outlined a bit today, as well as some of the projects that you have ongoing or recently completed, help mitigate some of the impacts associated with that potential, terminal timeframe around the existing mine? Great question, and I'll ask Peter to supplement in a moment. You know, our Base Plant mine has an end of mine life mid-next decade. We're about a little over a decade away. We've been prosecuting a number of options around filling that bitumen supply. I mean, job one for us is keep the upgrader full. High-value asset. This kind of goes back to the earlier question as well, too. We have a number of options that we've been prosecuting. One is potential mine extension. We have a regulatory permit underway. It's been underway for a number of years. The other one is an In Situ strategy, because as Shelley was highlighting in her presentation, if you looked at where Firebag is, and we've got some fantastic resource in South Firebag and then down through some leases we call Lewis and Wapistan. That actually go in a lot of proximity to our upgrader. I think we have a tremendous amount of opportunity, and we're gonna start narrowing that down because right now is what is the most economic, and as we look at the full risk envelope as well, around that bitumen supply. The other thing, too, you know, we purchased more working interest in Teck, and I was very happy to do that. It's an asset we know well. I have high confidence in this asset. We got a terrific valuation for our shareholders. It's part of thinking of our bitumen portfolio because as we bring some of that bitumen in, that's 40,000 barrels a day, it then allows us to think about our full bitumen supply because that asset, remember, actually goes right by our Base Plant upgrader and is today connected in and can be further connected in as well. Great. Great. Yeah. Sorry, was there anything after that? No, that's it. Okay, perfect. Thanks. The other question that I had, and maybe it's a little bit of a follow-on to, one of Nicolette's questions there, is just a lot of the capital spending and some of the relatively higher capital spending associated with Fort Hills, Cogen. Mm-hmm. Some of the kind of nearer-term applications start to roll off around the mid part of this decade. Mm-hmm. As we think about the back half of this decade between 2025 and 2030, there's obviously a potential ramp-up of spending associated with either energy transition or an energy expansion using your terms, spending that could be involved, on a go-forward basis. How do you think about mitigating or balancing the actual application of some of these kind of cost-saving or margin-improving initiatives offsetting some of the kind of looming spending that could potentially happen? Yeah, that's a great question. The way I'd have you think about this is kind of as we move into the mid decade and into the next decade, you highlighted two things. One is investment that's gonna be required related to decarbonization of our assets. A lot of that we've talked about is the Pathways Alliance to Net Zero, which I think is doing a tremendous amount of good work. All the companies together working on it. The signature project related to that in this decade is the carbon capture and sequestration project. So having a carbon capture line from the oil sands region down to the Cold Lake region where we've been awarded pore space, and then each of the operators investing in carbon capture, then feed it. The key to that is gonna be fiscal and regulatory frameworks. I was really pleased to see last year we received, you know, the federal government came in with the investment tax credit at 50%, which I would say is a great start. I'm really encouraged by how the government, federal government's working with industry on this. We still have to continue to work through the fiscal and regulatory framework before the investment decisions get made. Now, in the meantime, we're doing the engineering work. We're not standing still. Matter of fact, Shelley's organization is very involved in that. That investment, if we get the fiscal and regulatory structures in place, is gonna be ready for us to go to start breaking ground here next 18-24 months on the pipeline. Then you're gonna see those investments on carbon capture happen in the back half of the decade. In terms of gross capital, you know, the gross capital is gonna be a fairly large number for industry. The Pathways Alliance of companies have talked about that. On a net basis, when you put the fiscal structures in place, ITCs and others, the net capital becomes a much different number. This is about delivering an abatement cost per ton that's far more competitive and below what just the headline abatement cost would be under the emissions reduction plan. The other piece around energy transition is a really good question, too, 'cause Remember now, we've done one thing we've said is we're getting out of the wind and solar business. that was in my portfolio for a number of years. The reason we're doing that is because we're just not going to compete to invest in the scale and size, and quite frankly, I don't think our investors want us to become wind, big wind and solar players. We said where we will invest is in low carbon fuels and in hydrogen. I'm gonna be really prudent about it because these markets are developing. I expect we will make investment. We've got clear criteria for investment decision in terms of returns and risk profile. I think we're gonna start to see more of that in the back end of the decade. We're doing some small stuff now, certainly. You see that in our investments in next generation technologies like waste-to-fuels plant we're building out in Quebec, a small one. The other thing that we're doing right now is we're in engineering around a blue hydrogen facility in the Edmonton region. The great thing about that project, if we do FID and proceed, and it needs the fiscal and regulatory structures to support it as well, it actually connects to our Edmonton refinery. We're our best customer in this space as well. That's how we're thinking about it. I think there's gonna be great opportunities for the company to invest going forward, but we're gonna be prudent in how we're navigating through that. At the same time, we're gonna look and see how do we best invest in our core business? Because as Peter was saying earlier, there's still a tremendous amount of opportunity in that part of the business, both to drive cost and capital down, but also how we invest to optimize the business. The interconnected pipeline that Alister was talking about is in some respects, I think it's Exhibit A. Okay. Great. Thanks. There's a question back there, and then one back here. Lloyd Byrne from Jefferies. I just have a quick question on, you've acquired assets where you think you have c ompetitive edge and scale, you've divested assets or are divesting assets where you don't have competitive edge and scale. Maybe you could just comment on where you think the East Coast of Canada lies in that going forward. Yeah. No, thanks. You know, with respect to that asset. First of all, we are exiting the North Sea, as you just highlighted in that. You know, we didn't have a large position at the end of the day relative to the basin. In fact, the, you know, the Buzzard asset is on the back half, is on the back nine, not the front nine. It also had a development in it that was gonna require a big commitment going forward. We haven't done that transaction yet, and we'll only do that transaction if we get great value for it. Those are the drivers behind contemplating that transaction. With East Coast, it's different in the East Coast for a couple of reasons. One is we're in every basin, we do have relative scale for that basin. Shelley's organization we're either operating it in the case of Terra Nova or we're in all the other basins, and we're also a Canadian company. That counts for something too, just in terms of our proximity and working with the local communities, the stakeholders, the regulators, the government, and the partners in the region. We still like being in the East Coast for all those reasons. It's a good business. The investments that we're putting in, that Shelley talked about, the West White Rose investment, as well as we're bringing Terra Nova, great investments. They're gonna be great returns, and they're going to extend the life of those assets. We're not on the back nine, in that part of the portfolio. Right now, that's our thinking, that's my thinking around E&P, East Coast. Maybe a follow-up, maybe it's for Alister. Kris, you said, you hear us on guidance and the track record. Has something changed with how you're calculating it? Is it how you're thinking about process going forward? Yeah. Did you just discount it more heavily? Yeah. We're not sandbagging anything if that's what's underneath the question. It's not a math exercise either, because actually, you know, the size and complexity of these assets, one, I needed to be satisfied, and as the team went through them, that we did a real scrub, that we had real substance behind these plans. I'm not saying that we didn't have substance before, but I really wanted to make sure we had substance behind these plans. The second piece is then how you sit and risk that, right? When I use the word balanced around that, I'm just reflecting back that when I've been in conversations with our investors and when I've been in conversations with our analysts, we've been missing our upstream guidance year after year after year. I want that to stop. I want us to be reliable and consistent for our investors, and I want us to stretch the organization to perform and quite frankly, I'll do every day to beat what we've set and to grow it over time. That was the approach. I'd probably liken it more. I like the word you used, process, in the second part 'cause it's a process, right? How you really understanding your assets and then really thinking through the risks and having the right conversations. Quite frankly, it's not me sitting there. It's these operators, right? Digging in and them with their teams. Take one more, and then we might be time. Troy? I have a question from the webcast. Oh, the webcast. Sorry, I didn't understand that. Hey, Kris. Matt Spiegelman, Locust Wood Capital. Yeah. You gave us a lot of great initiatives today about safety, process, people. I guess the question is, some of these have been completed and some of them are still rolling on, you know, in particular some of the collision stuff in 2023. Yeah. Do you have enough in place today that we as shareholders can hold the company accountable to world-class safety and reliability performance with what's here? Do we need more to get to the point where that's a reasonable benchmark? If so, when do we kinda get to that point? Yeah. That is an excellent question. You know safety, at the end of the day, safety is never done in my view, right? It's why we use words like journey and those types of things. We have a safety track record in the company, and I tried to highlight that earlier as well. We've had areas of the company where I've been severely disappointed with our performance, as you should be as well too. I think for us, it's going into those places and moving as quickly as we can to assure that we're doing the things to fill any gaps that we're seeing. The other piece is too, is it's a journey. You know, Peter talked about the culture of the organization. I was in the company 20 years ago when we started the journey to zero, when we started our path towards improved safety performance. I watched it do this over time. It kind of plateaued, and we've had some improvement. We've seen some areas where we've had some issues here in the last number of years. Our job is we have to quickly understand why did we have those issues. We have to fill those gaps, and that's where speed comes. You know, for instance, the collision, the technology piece, my interest when I came into the job was, how fast can we get that done? It does take a bit of time because we're going through over 1,000 pieces of mobile equipment. As you heard from Peter today, we're actually ahead and we're moving. That doesn't solve safety. That's a key control to put in place to help us fail safely, but we need to do safety each and every day in this company. It kind of comes back to what Peter was talking about, may have glossed over a few times in the room, because if you're not in the industry working this every day around human organizational performance principles and how you engage with people. We're implementing those into our organization. The way I would liken it is we've been on a safety journey in this company for 20 years. We've made a lot of progress. Safety is a core value, as Peter said, and I really appreciate Peter's view as a new person coming in, as well as Arnel, that the safety culture is here, but we need the next generation of tools to engage people. That's what that's about, is how do we use those tools and really create a more psychologically safe work environment so that I get everybody from the front line all the way up to my desk, caring not just caring about safety, but really understanding it, engaging, talking, raising concerns, providing feedback, and then ensuring we're taking action as well too. I'm happy with the progress we've seen, but you're never gonna hear me say mission accomplished or that I'm comfortable with where we're at with safety, because we should always have chronic unease around that. I'm proud of what the company's done. I'm proud of having been in the company for 20 years, but I know we can do better, and that's what this is all about. Appreciate that. Thanks. Just one quick follow-up on inflation. You know, I think we all, you know, have seen across the industry there's a lot of inflation with these high commodity prices. If we were to go back, and that obviously, you know, has an impact on the synergy realization, but it's still a net benefit at a high commodity price. If the commodity price were to go back to a lower environment, you know, say a CAD 60 type environment, how much of this inflation would be sticky and what would the inflation picture look like in the cost structure there? Anyone? Do you wanna take that one, Alister? Yeah. I mean, obviously, you know, the sticky part is gonna be in labor rates. You know, contractor rates, which are a big part of our cost structure, as you saw from my slide, they move up and down, and that's partly why we're seeing such big impacts on our cost structure. They're catching up over the last several years. As prices go down, they will go down as well. What we have to be careful of is we don't embed higher employee labor rates within our workforce. That's the one thing that we're very conscious of doing. Appreciate it. Troy, do you wanna ask the question? Sure. While we're getting the mic. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Kris. This is a question about the refining business. Can you tell us about any major maintenance activity you expect in 2023, as well as any initiatives to improve performance in refining? Okay. I'm gonna pass this over to Arnel. Before I do, Arnel actually wasn't presenting today, given the time. I do wanna take a moment just to introduce Arnel to the room. Arnel joined us in March of this year. Yeah. We had a senior leader retire, Arnel has over 25 years in the refining industry, predominantly with Shell, as well as was with NOVA Chemicals and has been terrific since he's joined us. Do you wanna take that one, Arnel? Sure. Thanks. Let me start with the improvements first. I would say, consistent with what you heard from my peers, key to reliable, sustained reliable operation is capability, and in this case, really working on people, work processes, work structures, leadership, and culture. The focus I have with my team, since I joined and going forward, is to maintain that focus on each of those elements with specific improvement areas, whether it's people competencies, the way we learn, the effectiveness of our work processes. You've heard OEMS or our Ops Excellence Management System. Do we have the right structure to make sure that we have the right accountabilities and leadership competencies in the field, to make sure that we have the right ability to implement HOP and OD behaviors in our field? That will be a big focus for ourselves, have been since I joined and will continue going forward. With respect to maintenance, we have a few next year. In the Commerce City Refinery, we have the cat cracker turnaround in the second quarter. In Edmonton, we have the coker maintenance in the second quarter. In Montreal, we have the hydrotreating units in the second quarter. In Sarnia, we have the hydrocracker maintenance in the second quarter. Throughout the year, we will continue to address planned gaps in our reliability threats. We'll do things like the boiler maintenance in Edmonton. That will progressively address our risks to continue the liability. That's great, Kris. I'll turn it back to you. I think there might have been a question over here. Did I see one? No? Any other questions? Oh, oh, Brian. Kris Smith, you sort of hinted, when Alister Cowan was talking and you were talking about the CAD 2 billion free fund flow lift that you wanted to get and you're, you know, 2/3 of the way there, and then you sort of hinted that there's more to do given the headwinds that you're that the company's facing. Yeah. Just kind of, I guess, maybe it's an easy one, but are there kind of some projects that you could hint at that could provide the step change? I mean, the interconnect with Syncrude was a great one. Yeah. You know, replacing the coker, another great one. Are there kind of things out there that the team is thinking of but hasn't quantified yet? Yeah. You know, Thanks. It was hopefully stronger than a hint because, yes, we wanna do more. I think, Brian, like, there's not a specific project I wanna talk about today, but I will talk about it, and specifically, you're putting your finger right on it, which is really in the area that Peter has right now in mind, upgrading, along with Shelley. Can't forget the In Situ sitting there as well. As I'm looking and talking with Peter and the teams, our opportunities around regionalization, whether it's manpower, whether it's managing supplies and services. The other piece too is recall we just implemented our SAP S/4 system, which, you know, those aren't the most painless things to do in the world. The promise of that is actually our ability to manage our materials and services in a totally different level. The other piece is the actual kit up there. Are there other investments we can make? You know, there may be opportunities to further upsize some of these connections. How we think about the connectivity of, you know, we've got three mines, two upgraders, two In Situ plants, resource around it, and we have everything comes down to the largest tank farm in the region. We connect it, full connected to our Edmonton refinery as well. We're gonna be looking hard because I think there's gonna be still more low-hanging fruit for us in that part of the system. We'll continue to look around the rest of the company, but I think the real, like, lever movers for us over the next number of years is gonna be there. Sorry, just maybe one more quick one just for Peter. Just what's the frequency, the maintenance schedule for Fort Hills? Just in terms of improving that or extending that kind of turnaround period, like some of your peers have done, what kind of cost is associated with that? Well, I'll speak to the frequency in particular. Usually, we do two minor maintenance interventions a year at Fort Hills. That's consistent with industry practice. This year is a bit different. I mean, this year by 2023, because we actually have the first ever larger maintenance turnaround for regulatory inspection, and that really drives a quick critical path, along with the installation of some new processing equipment that we need for in extraction for higher fines ores, which will be really important for our 2024 delivery. I've actually been very happy with the Fort Hills team this year. They've done two excellent maintenance outages, and these are not of the scale like of a Syncrude or a Base Plant, so they're much smaller than that. They beat the schedule by two days. They beat the budget. I still, you know, think there's much more to go there, but we'll be able to kinda shorten the duration of that, by quite a bit, I think. I'm hopeful that there's still more opportunity to go after. The costs of these maintenance outages are not really material. They're not kind of multi-hundred million dollar events that you see at a Syncrude or a Base Plant. It'll just be about managing efficiencies and the contract execution that we have around that. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Brian. Greg? Kris, last one. Probably not a fair question, but how should we think about just the timing on this whole CEO process and so on? I mean, you know, clearly you look as though you are doing the job and very happy doing the job. Yeah. How should we think about all that? Thanks. Yeah. Greg, I can't really comment on that. I mean, at the end of the day, But I can tell you the board's going through a very robust process. They're obviously taking this extremely seriously, and I know that they're going through a robust process. I expect it's gonna be complete in Q1 as they go through it. I mean, my focus has been, and it kind of been clear since the first call I did back in August, right, is my job is doing everything I can to drive this company forward and deliver. You know, I've been very thankful, the board has supported me through it, and supporting me to do the things to deliver value and do the right things around the company. That's what I'm gonna do, and this process will get played out here over the next few months. Thanks. Well, with that, first of all, I wanna thank everybody. We may have lost the people on the line. I don't know, Troy. It was a long session, but we had a lot to share with you today. I hope you had a feeling. I feel very strongly we've got a company here with a tremendous value proposition. I mean, not only because we're undervalued in my view, but because we've got this great set of assets, this model, and we've got a clear execution plan and a lot of focus and a commitment to how we're going to manage our capital allocation going forward. I just wanna thank everybody. We're going to. I don't know if. Has the line been cut off in the back? I wanna thank everybody on the line, too, for hanging in. Thanks very much.
