announced today that Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted notice filed by
Canadian Natural of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid through the
facilities of Toronto Stock Exchange. Purchases may also be made through the
facilities of the New York Stock Exchange. 


The notice provides that Canadian Natural may, during the 12 month period
commencing April 9, 2014 and ending April 8, 2015, purchase for cancellation on
Toronto Stock Exchange, alternative Canadian markets, and the New York Stock
Exchange up to 54,596,899 shares, being 5% of the 1,091,937,994 outstanding

25% of the average daily trading volume of its common shares during a trading
day, being 627,729 common shares subject to certain prescribed exceptions. The
price which Canadian Natural will pay for any such shares will be the market
price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of common shares that may be
purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Canadian
Natural. 


While pursuing Canadian Natural's successful acquisition, exploration and
development plans remain a priority to create value for Canadian Natural, cash
flow in 2014 may also be used by Canadian Natural, depending upon future trading
prices and other factors, to purchase its common shares, as it is believed to be
a worthwhile investment, and in the best interests of Canadian Natural and its
shareholders or to further strengthen its balance sheet.
