ABOUT MEG

MEG is an energy company focused on sustainable in situ thermal oil production in the southern Athabasca oil region of Alberta, Canada. MEG transports and sells thermal oil (known as Access Western Blend or AWB) to customers throughout North America and internationally.

With proven, proprietary innovative technologies, we are reducing our energy and water use, capital and operating costs and greenhouse gas intensity. MEG is actively developing innovative enhanced oil recovery projects that utilize steam-assisted gravity drainage (“SAGD”) extraction methods to improve the economic recovery of oil as well as lower carbon emissions.

MEG is proud to be part of a vital industry promoting responsible resource development and fueling our economy.

CANADA’S ESG RANKING

TOP OIL RESERVE HOLDERS ESG SCORES

Source: BMO Capital Markets; Presentation uses an equal weight of each index representedNote: The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is created jointly by Yale/Columbia Universities in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and ranks 180 countries on 24 performance indicators on environmental health and ecosystem vitality. The Social Progress Index (SPI) is developed by the Social Progress Imperative and ranks 149 countries on 51 measures of social responsibility that are independent of economic indicators. World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) rank over 200 countries on six dimensions including political stability, regulatory quality and corruption control.

ü Only top reserve holder to have a price on carbon

ü Stringent environmental regulation

ü High governance scoresü Enforcement of human rights

and social progress ü Low corruptionü Significant investment in

continuous improvement of environmental performance

Canadian oil companies earn a stronger ESG score than all other oil-rich countries, due to stringent environmental regulation, strong governance norms and commitment to safety and community

Environmental, Economic and Operating Performance (kg CO2e/bbl)

MEG NET GHG INTENSITY 1

• Technological innovation, such as eMSAGP and cogeneration have driven MEG’s GHG intensity down by 7% since 2013

• MEG uses cogeneration at its facilities with excess power being sold into the Alberta Power Market – electricity generated through cogeneration has a GHG intensity that is a fraction of the current Alberta provincial power grid

MEG has been a first mover in implementing technology to drive down MEG’s GHG intensity

MEG has taken measures to achieve one of the lowest GHG emissions intensities in the thermal heavy oil industry

IN S ITU RELATIVE TO T IGHT OIL

MEG’s Non-Saline1 Water Use Intensity is significantly lower than

other extraction technologies2

(bbl of water used to produce a bbl of oil; Alberta 2014-2018 average)

Comprehensive environmental management compares favourably to North American production

Water Methane Land

1. Non-saline water is defined in Alberta as water with a total dissolved solids concentration of less than 4,000 mg/L. 2. AER Water Use Report.3. Schneising, O. et al (2020) - Remote sensing of methane leakage from natural gas and petroleum systems revisited. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.4. EIA, geoScout, BMO Capital Markets estimates.5. Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas.

MEG’s methane emissions intensity is less than 1% of the intensity of shale

producers3

(kg CH4/BOE)

• MEG continues to invest in technology to reduce methane emissions – MEG conserves > 99.5% of methane

• Christina Lake Facility is a gas conserving facility – meaning overall flaring and venting are virtually eliminated in normal operating conditions

Cumulative average number of tight oil wells drilled in support of base

production is 5x higher than SAGD4

(Wells per 1000 bbls/d)

• Tight oil averages 12.4 wells per 1,000 bbls/d compared to just 2.4 wells for SAGD to support base production4

• To date more than 100,000 tight oil wells have been drilled in the four main plays, compared to just 3,300 SAGD oil sands wells4

2021 OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

• Annual production guidance of 91,000 – 93,000 bbls/d driven by better-than-expected reservoir performance, short-cycle investments and high uptime

• H1 2021 free cash flow plus non-core asset sale proceeds support $75 of incremental capex in 2H 2021 and US$100 mm of debt repayment

• Increased capital represents majority of well capital needed to bring back production to 100,000 bpd; Remaining $50 mm to be spent in H1 2022

• Expect to fully utilize oil processing capacity at Christina Lake Facility by H2 2022

• Reduced non-energy opex and G&A guidance predominantly a result of higher production, certain temporary costs savings in H1 2021

Note: Cash flows above assume ~92,000 bbls/d of production, 25% FY apportionment and no hedges; US$65/bbl WTI scenario assumes ~US$14.50/bbl WTI:WCS differential, condensate priced at 103% of WTI and C$1.24/US$ exchange rate (assumptions are adjusted based on WTI price). See p. 19 for additional sensitivity analysis.

Note: Illustrative netbacks shown at US$65/bbl WTI – assumes all barrels are sold into Edmonton for simplicity of comparison

Incremental barrels

~85% of costs are fixed

Incremental barrels add higher marginal cash flow per bbl and have significant impact on free cash flow

STRONG DEMAND FOR CANADIAN HEAVY OIL Constructive light / heavy differential outlook with material improvement in Western Canadian egress and continued strong demand for heavy oil globally

2021 YTD, Gulf Coast market has provided US$3.22 / bbl transportation adjusted benefit1

High complexity refinery adds globally expected to increase demand for Canadian heavy oil

REFINERY CAPACITY PLANNED ADDITIONS (2020 – 2025)

• The Alberta light-heavy differential has moderated against a more balanced egress outlook:

• Existing pipeline debottlenecks adding more than 200 kbbls/d since pre-pandemic

• Addition of storage capacity in Alberta• Completion of Enbridge Line 3 expansion in

H2 2021• Rail capacity continues to provide relief

including 50 kbbls/d diluent recovery unit starting up in H2

• Despite significant improvements in Edmonton pricing, Gulf Coast market remains most attractive market for our barrels

COMMODITY HEDGING OVERVIEW

1. Includes WTI fixed price swaps and WTI sold put options. If in any month of 2021 the month average WTI settlement price is US$38.79 per barrel (the sold put option) or better,MEG will receive US$46.18 per barrel (the fixed price swap) on hedged 2021 production in that month. If in any month of 2021 the month average WTI settlement price is lessthan US$38.79 per barrel, MEG will receive the month average WTI settlement price in that month plus US$7.39 per barrel (the swap spread) on each barrel hedged in thatmonth.

1. Defined as transportation and storage expenses less transportation revenue, per barrel of blend sales volumes. For reference, total transportation and storage costs per barrel,based on bitumen sales volumes, were C$10.91 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to C$11.77 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

2. Includes all transportation costs associated with moving barrels of blend from Christina Lake to Edmonton sales point.3. Sales from marketing asset optimization activities are recognized in the blend sales price and not as a recovery of transportation and storage costs for consistency with the financial

statements. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 these activities contributed US$0.46 per barrel to the blend sales price at the USGC (pipeline) compared to US$2.56during the same period of 2020. If presented as a transportation and storage cost recovery, transportation and storage costs per barrel at the USGC (pipeline) during the threemonths ended June 30, 2021 would be US$10.69 per barrel compared to US$11.15 per barrel.

4. Results are translated at the average foreign exchange rate of C$1.2280 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Non-GAAP MeasuresThis presentation refers to the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow, as well as adjusted funds flow which is defined in Note 17 of the Q2 2021 Financial Statements. These terms may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies and are not intended to represent net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, MEG's consolidated statement of cash flow as determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of financial performance.

Free cash flow is presented to assist management and investors in analyzing performance by the Corporation as a measure of the capacity of the business to repay debt, incur discretionary capital or increase returns to shareholders. Free cash flow is calculated as adjusted funds flow less capital expenditures.
