    DEFINED GROWTH, INDEPENDENT
                                                               NEWS RELEASE

                       CANADIAN NATURAL RESOURCES LIMITED
                 ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
           CALGARY, ALBERTA - JANUARY 22, 2007 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Canadian Natural Resources Limited  ("Canadian  Natural")  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  January  24,  2007  and  ending  January  23,  2008,  purchase  for
cancellation  on Toronto Stock  Exchange and the New York Stock  Exchange up to
26,941,730 shares, being 5% of the 538,834,606  outstanding common shares as at
January 15, 2007. 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 the best  opportunity  to create  value for Canadian
Natural,  any excess cash flow in 2007 over  budgeted  spending  may be used by
Canadian Natural to further  strengthen its balance sheet or continue growth of
value per common  share.  One  investment  opportunity  available  to  Canadian
Natural under these  circumstances,  depending  upon future  trading prices and
other factors,  is the use of these excess funds to purchase its common shares,
as it is a  worthwhile  investment,  and is in the best  interests  of Canadian
Natural and its shareholders.

Canadian  Natural has purchased  485,000  common  shares at a weighted  average
purchase price of $57.29  pursuant to a Normal Course Issuer Bid which has been
in place since January 24, 2006.

Canadian  Natural is a senior oil and  natural  gas  production  company,  with
continuing  operations  in its core areas located in Western  Canada,  the U.K.
portion of the North Sea and Offshore West Africa.
