2022 ASSET HANDBOOK 122 FNV TSX NYSE Energy–Canada Weyburn Unit Oil Saskatchewan, Canada Operator: Whitecap Resources Inc. Royalty : NRI: 11.71% /ORR: 0.44% / WI: 2.56% Energy Franco-Nevada, after Whitecap Resources Inc. (“Whitecap”), has the second largest economic interest in the Weyburn Unit, one of the world’s largest geological CO 2 storage projects. The Weyburn Unit is located approximately 129 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan and encompasses approximately 216 km 2 on a gross basis (net 31 km 2 ) in which the Mississippian Midale beds are unitized. As of December 31, 2021, Franco-Nevada held an 11.71% NRI, a 0.44% ORR and a 2.56% WI in the Weyburn Unit. Production commenced from the Midale zone within the unitized area in 1955 under primary depletion (solution gas expansion). Establishment of the Weyburn Unit occurred in 1963 for the purpose of implementing a waterflood pressure maintenance scheme. In 2000, Cenovus, the operator at that time, began injecting CO 2 in a portion of the Weyburn Unit as an enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) method. Gross production of the Weyburn Unit is approximately 22,000 Boe/d of light oil. Weyburn is a long-life asset with a proven and probable reserve life of almost 20 years. For 2021, revenue received by Franco-Nevada from the Weyburn Unit was $43.8 million. Revenue for the NRI is recorded net of deductions for capital and operating costs, which results in increased leverage to the oil price. Oil production, including NGLs, net to Franco-Nevada was 2,015 Boe/d. Franco-Nevada takes product-in-kind for its WI and NRI share of this production and markets it through a third party marketer. Weyburn is a highly economic reservoir, although our NRI and Working Interest in the unit have higher leverage to commodity price swings that our revenue based royalties. Our interests benefited from the recovery in commodity prices in 2021 following the pandemic lows in 2020.
