• Fugitive Emission Management

• Corporate procedure follows CCME Guideline

• Risk managed as part of the facilities Environmental Management System (EMS)

• Asset Integrity

• Risk Based Integrity Management (RBIM)

• Flange Management Program

• Inspection rounds

• Bolting procedure during Turnarounds

• Monitoring & Measuring (LDAR)

• Developing a new Leak Detection Management Solution (LDMS), LDAR results and reporting database

• >95% of Emissions due to leaks are from the following three components categories:

i. Pumps

ii. Valves

iii. Equipment and Piping Flange Connections.

• Pumps have the highest % leak rate (i.e. # of leaking pumps to total # of pumps)

• Block Valves and Equipment Piping Flanges and Connections contribute to majority of the leak count and total mass emission

• 323 km south of Sarnia • Pop 40,000 (Lima) • 105,000 (Allen County)

• Four refineries in OH • Five within 200 km of

each other

Husky Lima Refinery Basics • Lima Refinery, est. 1886

• The refinery operates 24/7 with scheduled maintenance shutdowns approximately every five years

• Primary products: gasoline, jet fuel and diesel

• Lima Refinery provides 25% of gasoline consumed in Ohio

• Approximately 440 Husky and 200 contract employees

• Title V, Consent Decree, Legal and other regulatory requirements

• Enhanced LDAR program since 2008 (consent decree) • Alternative monitoring program (quarterly vs. monthly)

• For pumps and valves:

• In 2001 18,327 quarterly monitoring events* • In 2014 26,036 quarterly monitoring events*

*initial monitors – does not include remonitors on leakers 10

Projected 2H 2014 costs

1,3-Butadiene

• Initially sampled in 1992 as part of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) program

• MDL = 500 ug/L • Results below MDL = no more sampling

• 2007 – Refinery Information Collection Request (ICR)

• submitted calculations using 1992 MDL

• 2013 – US EPA calls – ICR data shows very high 1,3-butadiene • Resampled, analyzed using current methods • NEW MDL = 5 ug/L • Results were below new MDL • Sampled two more times, both sets of results were below the new

MDL Conclusion • 1,3-butadiene not present in Husky’s U.S. Lima Refinery emissions • No further sampling is planned at this time

U.S. Downstream

• Minimizing fugitive emissions starts with a solid asset integrity program

• LDAR is only one piece of the fugitive emission reduction strategies at facilities

• Increased carrying costs by maintaining an inventory of replacement maintenance equipment

• Identifying top emitting components which don’t meet the leak definition and prioritizing their repair based on actual leak rate (tonnes/yr) not TVA reading (ppm)

• Ohio EPA regulatory air monitoring of benzene and 1,3-butadiene below threshold values

• Repeated analytical testing shows 1,3-butadiene not to be a contaminant of concern at our U.S. refinery

• Opportunity to optimize the LDAR frequency based on achieving ALARP emissions
