Notes
1  Scope 1 and 2 emissions quantification prepared using The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) and verified  by external third-party in accordance with the ISO 14064 Part 3: Greenhouse Gases: Specification
with Guidance for the Verification and Validation of Greenhouse Gas Statements (ISO, 2019).
2   Direct emissions (combustion, flaring, formation CO2, venting, and fugitive leaks from equipment) under operational control.
3   Total direct plus indirect emissions (from purchased power).
4   Total methane vented emissions excludes fugitive emissions.
5   Direct methane emissions (combustion, flaring, fugitive leaks from equipment, venting).
6   Freshwater withdrawals are within licensed withdrawal limits. We constantly seek recycled, saline, or alternative non-saline freshwater in preference to high quality non-saline water whenever possible.
7  Represents the volume disposed at NuVista-owned disposal wells in 2021 and prior years, and does not include 3rd party disposal or the volume recycled.
8  Spills outside of secondary containment were reported to regulatory agencies as per jurisdictional requirements.
9  Year-end full time and part-time employees count are included in this metric (Calgary and field employees combined). Contractor and temporary employees are not included in the employee count.
10  In 2022 NuVista updated exposure hours/$ estimates to align with Energy Safety Canada’s most recent published Health and Safety Metric Guideline.
11  2022 total, based on measured data, is less than 100, likely due to rounding error, measurement variability and water in temporary storage.
12 “Alternative” and “High Quality” non-saline water withdrawals are Alberta Government Water Policy categories. These categories include the same water withdrawals we report under “freshwater withdrawal” and should not be double counted. Similarly, “Surface” and “Groundwater” withdrawal are alternate categories requested by reporting frameworks and should not be double counted with other classifications.
