OUR
PHILOSOPHY
We are built
on more than a
century of sound
business practices

The Mancal Group is owned
by the Mannix family and is
founded on 120 years of
entrepreneurial spirit, hard
work and determination. The
Mancal Group believes it
shares a responsibility to
Canadians and as a result is
driven by a commitment to

Although this is our first
Environment, Social,
Governance (ESG) report, the
Mancal Group has been
operating under the
principles of ESG since the
late 1800’s. Even in the
early years, the 'outfit'
was a pioneer in
sustainability and health
and safety practices
ensuring that environmental
protection and well-being
were part of doing business.
Nonetheless, this report
marks an important step in
our sustainability journey.
This report provides our key
stakeholders with a
comprehensive view of our
Company and values, how we
are managing risk and
setting our goals for the
sustainable development of
our assets. This report has
been completed with data
collection procedures that
ensure data we are using is
accurate and verifiable, and
it has been reviewed and
approved by Mancal
Corporation's Board of
Directors.

OUR LEADERSHIP
Message from
the Chairman |
Change is challenging. The
world today is changing
faster, more unpredictably
and with greater swings than
at any other time in my 60
years of experience. All
areas are being affected:
the environment, our social
and political norms and
practices, and of course the
economic challenges our
business faces. Each of
these areas require us as a
team to excel and be best in
class when it comes to
protecting the environment,
being socially responsible
and governing our actions
and decisions with
discipline to the highest
measure.
I am proud of the way our
Mancal Energy ‘outfit’ has
responded to these changes
and how we have overcome and
embraced diversity with
integrity and balance.

The Mancal Group has
a deep history of
over 120 years of
engaging in
business, primarily
within Canada, in a
manner that has
always promoted the
fundamental actions
of ESG priorities.
These environmental,
social and
governance
priorities are
nothing new to us,
and even though we
have not prepared a
report such as this
to discuss our
performance, we
often acknowledged
and recognized the
successes we have
made with respect to
ESG initiatives.
With this inaugural
report, we hope to
provide some
examples from our
proud past and to
report on ESG
initiatives we are
currently engaging
in.
Welcome to our first
ESG report!

OUR
LEADERSHIP
Message from
the President
|
Mancal Energy is very proud
to release this, our
inaugural ESG Report – 2020. Although this is our first
formal ESG report, Mancal
Energy has been proudly
practicing and demonstrating
ESG responsible measures for
over 20 years and our
shareholders, the Mannix
family, have built this and
other companies over the
decades using what I would
describe as ESG fundamental
principles.
Because Mancal Energy Inc.
is private, we do not
provide financial statements
or operational updates to
the public for review.
However, we do actively
participate with our public
peer companies in all the
environmental and socially
responsible initiatives our
sector has undertaken over
the years, making Canada one
of the preeminent
jurisdictions in the world
when it comes to ESG
compliance. In 2020, we
elected to prepare a
publicly available report
demonstrating our ESG
practices and statistics,
because we believe it is
important and we want to
demonstrate support for the
Canadian energy sector in
terms of ESG importance,
compliance and initiatives
towards continual
improvement.
ESG practices are nothing
new to Mancal and the Mannix
family. We have been
practicing them as a matter
of business for decades. As
an example, the following is
an excerpt from "Beating the
Odds", a book published in
1998 commemorating the first
100 years of the Mannix
family in business.
 |
|
In 1966,
Manalta Coal (a
Mannix company)
closed a coal mine
and filled the pit
and levelled spoil
piles to restore the
landscape to its
previous condition.
At the request of
the Taber Fish and
Game Association,
one portion of the
pit was only
partially filled in,
then flooded to
create a small lake.
The lake was then
used as a hatchery
by the Fish and Game
Association. While
they were helping to
shape the new
regulatory
environment, they
were integrating
reclamation work
into their mine
planning and
operations work.
|
More recently, Mancal Energy
has dramatically reduced
emissions at several of its
wellsites by installing
solar powered pumps instead
of the traditional pneumatic
(methane) controlled pumps.
Our goal on new wells is to
get to zero emissions at the
wellsite, and we believe we
are very close to achieving
this target.
|
I believe we all
acknowledge the
world is changing
both from a climate
and social
perspective. We also
recognize that the
world needs energy
and we need to
increase the
standard of living
across many
undeveloped nations
in the world while
maintaining the
existing standards
we are accustomed
to. In order to do
that, we need energy
and thus we believe
the energy sector
(and hence our
company) will play a
vital role in that
mission. However, we
want to develop our
resources
responsibly, by
minimizing
environmental
impacts, working
within our
communities to
provide jobs and
other forms of
support, and doing
our business in a
manner ensuring that
we abide by all
regulations and
comply with all
standards.
In conclusion, I
look forward to
having you, the
reader, learn a bit
more about Mancal
Energy, the Mannix
family and our
commitment to the
principles of ESG.
We are proud of our
history and working
for the ‘outfit’ as
it has been called
for generations; a
nod to 1898 when
F.S. Mannix started
up his first company
with a team of
horses and a wagon.
Through four
generations, the
Mannix family have
demonstrated sound
ESG principles and
ingrained that
culture into their
companies; long
before the acronym
ESG or environmental
regulations were
contemplated.
Sincerely,
Byron Lutes |

Management's Approach
Mancal Energy has an extensive health, safety and environment (HSE) program which involves quarterly reporting to the Board on HSE performance. The Board has delegated authority to the Environment, Health and Safety Committee to oversee policies relating to environment, health and safety. Everyone employed by Mancal Energy is responsible for maintaining our HSE program.
The prevention of incidents and accidents through front of mind awareness gained from tailgate to boardroom safety conversations, hazard awareness training, near miss, incident and accident reporting followed by thorough investigations is paramount to the Company. We track key data and safety statistics which allows us to identify trends and opportunities to strengthen our program.
All contractors providing service to Mancal Energy go through a pre-qualification process which requires them to submit appropriate worker compensation, insurance and safety program documentation for review.

Education & Training
At Mancal Energy, we provide an e-learning experience to our staff and operators through an online library that is used as a resource to continue development of our competency management and training system. Our e-learning education and training platform allows for both voluntary and mandatory modules based on risk and time sensitivities. For critical competencies, mandatory tests are required to see that those in positions of responsibility are equipped with the knowledge to understand a topic and are able to demonstrate that the task can be performed competently and safely. The e-library also provides a resource to enhance or refresh one’s knowledge as needed.
Emergency Response Plan
Our Emergency Response Plan ("ERP") sets out the steps and procedures to respond immediately in the event of an accident in order to reduce the risk of injury to people and the effects on the environment. To ensure our people and those of our contractors are prepared in the event of an accident, we conduct mock drills of real-life scenarios as well as table top exercises to train people and be able to provide a well-coordinated, systematic and measured approach in the event an actual accident.
The goal is a healthy, injury free workplace for all workers.

ENVIRONMENT
Air, Land, Water, Biodiversity, Asset Integrity |
Regulatory Update
On January 1, 2020, the Government of Canada applied the federal fuel charge in Alberta under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act ("GGPPA"). The GGPPA includes provisions to exempt facilities subject to provincial policies that meet federal benchmark criteria. The Technology Innovation Emissions Reduction ("TIER") regulation in Alberta complies with the federal criteria and is an improved system that assists companies in finding innovative ways to reduce emissions and invest in clean technology. Mancal Energy has opted into the TIER regulation and is compliant with the program.
We have dedicated a significant amount of effort on methane emissions reduction activities as methane is 25 times more impactful on the environment than carbon dioxide over a 100 year period.
Our team is committed to minimizing the emissions intensity of the Company’s operations and is focused on reducing methane leaks, reducing flaring as well as limiting power consumption through energy efficiency measures. With this objective in mind, in 2019, Mancal implemented a methane reduction initiative that focused capital investment into leading emissions reduction technologies. The Company worked in close collaboration with domestic technology and service providers to install technologies that reduce methane emissions through the elimination of vented gas on tanks and pneumatic devices. We continue to explore new and innovative ways to eliminate and reduce methane emissions from operations in partnership with select vendors. |
|
 |
Fuel Switching
We utilize bi-fuel drilling rigs that substitute the use of carbon intensive fuels such as diesel with natural gas to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations. MEI also trialed the use of natural gas-powered electric generators for well sites in a core area as a substitution for diesel generators. These allow for a reduction in diesel consumption and significantly reduces emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx from these sites.
A bi-fuel rig Mancal used during drilling operations.
Zero Methane Emissions Wellsite
We are installing LCO Technologies “Crossfire” Clean Air and Chemical Management Solution. This ultra-low power chemical injection pump system is designed to reduce maintenance costs, chemical costs, and methane emissions all with the same reliability as standard pneumatic pumps.
The “Crossfire” solution centers on a solar powered instrument air compressor to produce clean, dry compressed air for use in the pneumatic system as opposed to production gas. It is powered off solar energy and capable of running weeks without recharge. The system provides exact chemical volume injection and can automatically adjust rates according to production rates. The platform tracks and stores data to achieve profitable emission reductions utilizing Alberta's carbon credit offset system.
Tank Vapour Recovery
In 2019, the Company installed a new vapor collection system at our Karr property to capture 100% of the natural gas that previously escaped from the tanks used to store oil prior to shipping down a pipeline. During oil storage, light hydrocarbons dissolve in crude oil, resulting in methane vaporization. These vapors are often vented to the atmosphere or flared. To prevent emissions of these light hydrocarbon vapors, Mancal Energy uses this vapour collection technology on its oil storage tanks where practical.
Mancal's tank vapour capture system was installed in 2019 and eliminates 100% of methane emissions from entering the atmosphere each year.
Solar Chemical Injection
In two of our operating areas, we have installed Sirius solar injection pumps which have eliminated methane venting from onsite chemical injection activities.
 |
|
 |
Pneumatic Device Conversions
In 2019, Mancal Energy partnered with an award-winning climate solution company to replace 100% of the Company’s high bleed controllers resulting in 3,200 tCO2e annual emissions reduction.
We continue to look at other pneumatic devices to replace and are committed to moving away from natural gas pneumatic devices to air or electric on all future locations, similar to our upcoming zero emission wellsites.
Upper Photo: Solar, ultra low powered multi-head chemical injection pump system. Lower Photo: Low emission pneumatic controller.
Air Performance
GHG emissions in oil and gas operations are produced from flaring, combustion and venting. Emissions from operations can be classified as direct or indirect. At Mancal Energy, direct emissions result from on-site fuel, flare, and vent sources while indirect emissions are associated with purchased electricity.
Our direct emissions are primarily generated by the combustion of natural gas used in compressors, heaters, flares, and power generators. In 2019, our direct emissions were 46,136 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent while our indirect emissions were 3,561 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
This amounts to a corporate emissions intensity (direct and indirect emissions) of 0.025 tCO2e/BOE. |
|
 |
|
 |
MEI focuses on conventional exploration and development projects in Canada. We do not develop or produce shale oil or shale gas which allows us to significantly reduce the water used in our process. When we use hydraulic fracturing, it is under strict government regulations.
Water Performance
Water is used for drilling and completion operations which includes hydraulic fracturing. We do not use any hydrocarbon based fluid to fracture. The Company participates in an online chemical disclosure registry which provides information on hydraulic fracturing and chemical usage, government regulations and groundwater protection. The protection of groundwater is paramount in the Company’s operations. Water that returns to surface following completion of a fracture operation is managed in accordance with AER standards. The protection of groundwater is also managed through wellbore design and construction which ensures that groundwater is isolated and protected from drilling fluids and all oil and gas activities. Produced water is sent to a third-party disposal or reused in our operations.
Land Performance
Mancal Energy operates and maintains more than 260 kilometers of pipeline, 13 multi-well oil batteries and more than 280 well-sites. The Company’s spill management efforts include monitoring and reviewing the integrity of our assets.
Emergency response training is conducted annually to ensure timely response should a spill occur. We enhance our asset integrity through pipeline inspections such as smart pigging, pipeline surveillance, application of corrosion inhibitors and the abandonment of high-risk wells.
Mancal's Pembina multi-well pad reduces land use and minimizes impact on land.
Operations
We primarily develop using horizontal wells allowing the Company to move from single wells to the use of multi-well pads. This has dramatically reduced surface disturbances. A single multi-well pad in our operations can support up to four or more wells. This reduction in surface footprint is amplified by allowing us to drill longer horizontal wells, thereby reducing the total number of wells and sites required for development. Today, we have drilled wells with horizontal lengths greater than 3,000 metres.
In 2019, the AER conducted a review of our operations which resulted in zero non-compliance issues.
When the Company is looking to explore in biologically sensitive areas, we ensure that we have adhered to the policies and procedures provided by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) that monitors nesting and breeding grounds of species.
 |
|
Land Disturbance
Our core area has the environmental benefit of being able to share surface infrastructure, such as roads, pipelines, and processing facilities between several different industry parties. Also, wherever possible, existing well sites, flow lines and surface equipment are reused instead of building new ones. This reduces the impact of our operations. |
|
|
Spill Monitoring
Early on, the Company required the use of pollution control and detection devices (right) to prevent spills on all of the company's pumping oil wells. These operations focused policies and technology applications have been instrumental in reducing our impact on the environment when equipment wears or fails. |
 |
 |
|
Abandonment and Reclamation of Assets
The Company's land use is temporary in nature. As such, we are committed to returning the land to its owners in a responsible manner at the completion of the development and production of a resource. Although the Company currently estimates the associated cost of its asset retirement obligations to occur over a 40-year span, we continue to proactively manage any liabilities as they arise and are compliant with the AER’s requirements.
Mancal Energy contributes to the Orphan Well Association, which is managed by the Province of Alberta, to address the abandonment of orphan wells. The Company prioritizes the reclamation of sites with higher environmental risks. In the past year, Mancal has obtained three reclamation certificates. Jordan P.
Land Disturbance and Biodiversity
Our approach to pad design and horizontal directional drilling maximizes our connection to available oil and gas reserves while limiting the surface area disturbed by our operations. For all new developments, the Company recognizes and respects the existing biodiversity within an area and actively works to minimize operational impact. In areas of interest, studies to identify current activity, flora and fauna are conducted by industry experts during the initial phase of consideration. |
 |
|
"When I joined the Mancal team I was immediately impressed with how careful and deliberate Mancal was with proactively addressing abandonment and reclamation obligations. It's this commitment to restoring the environment in which we operate that I'm most proud of.”
- Jordan P. Murray, MBA Vice President Land
|
Operations Impact
The Company assesses the potential impacts of operations and is sensitive to the cumulative effects that an operation can have on an area. We continue to work
with industry experts, where applicable, to minimize disturbance.
Mancal's partnered gas plant.
Examples of our commitment include:
- Installing hospital grade mufflers on engines to reduce noise.
- Working with farmers to ensure our operations do not bring in any unwanted plant species. In central Alberta we implemented a full protection plan to ensure farmland would not be contaminated with clubroot disease that affects canola crops. The protection plan included equipment cleaning and decontamination procedures.
- Regular inspection and maintenance of lease sites.
- Increasing our connectivity to wellsites to effectively monitor day to day operations. This initiative reduces noise, dust and vehicle intrusion in the communties in which we operate.

 |
Economic Impact
Over the last 20 years, Mancal Energy has invested over $900 million in Canada largely in acquiring land, drilling wells, and building facilities. In doing so we have engaged over 6,000 contractors and suppliers in various communities, employed local full time staff and have paid $260 million to governments, municipalities and regulators in the form of fees, royalties and taxes. These funds contribute to Alberta’s investment in building schools and much of the infrastructure that our communities continue to enjoy today. The Company contributes to social programs in communities that we are involved in by funding schools and athletic programs. We are committed to increasing the prosperity of communities and sharing in the economic benefits of resource development.
Indigenous Relations
The Company has assets that are adjacent to indigenous lands or are situated on crown lands where traditional use has been established. We are committed to respectful collaboration, ensuring that the rights and title holders’ heritage is considered in the development of these lands.
Management meets with Indigenous leaders to coordinate and facilitate discussions around planned projects. The Company aims to improve the economic situation in communities in and around our operations through engagement and economic activity. Throughout our engagement process we invite local and adjacent stakeholders and rights holders to collaborate and understand issues regarding the development plans. The Company gives back to the community in providing support for education and infrastructure.
The Aboriginal Consultation Office of the Government of Alberta has established procedures for consulting with Indigenous communities about their traditional lands. Mancal Energy believes in the consultation process and trusts that consultation will bring the company and community together to ensure the project's success.
Human Resources
Mancal Energy is committed to providing a culture of inclusivity and empowerment by encouraging a progressive environment where employees are engaged, motivated and challenged. We are dedicated to providing meaningful employment where all employees are treated fairly
Additionally, innovation and creativity are encouraged, and entrepreneurial excellence is rewarded. Our relationships with staff, contractors and partners are important to us, and we act and treat everyone with integrity and respect. The Company believes in compensating fairly and providing a safe and healthy work environment. Through our recruitment process and beyond, we focus on attracting, retaining and developing talent.
Looking Forward
