The Commission is in receipt of Nexen’s Application for a Licence to Market Natural Gas (“Application”) dated
August 26, 2009. The Commission notes that the Application indicates that Nexen is a wholly‐owned subsidiary
of Nexen Inc., and the financial statements referenced in the Application are those of Nexen Inc., the parent

The Commission requests that Nexen provide the following information:
