Dear Colleague: Canada’s oil sands continue to increase in strategic value as a secure source of future oil production in the next decade. Alberta’s oil sands deposits are estimated to contain 1.7 trillion barrels of bitumen (315 billion barrels recoverable using current technology) and are ranked as either the largest or 2nd largest petroleum reserve in the world. Production from oil sands now well exceeds conventional production from Western Canada, and is expected to make up to approximately 75% of total production by 2015. Canada is already the largest exporter of oil and petroleum products to the U.S., and over the next decade significant increases in oil sands derived production will supply an even larger percentage of America’s steadily increasing demand for oil. With a recovery of global fuels demand beginning to emerge, a number of development activities have shown that interest in investment in the oil sands has not faded. Although the technology outlook appears promising for recovery of bitumen and carbon capture, the path forward still holds many challenges with many projects currently on hold. For the 7th Annual CANADIAN OIL SANDS SUMMIT, Insight Information has assembled for you a roster of leading North American business and government leaders and experts who will provide their insights on the current state of play in oil sands development, emerging issues facing the industry, and what it takes to succeed in developing the oil sands resources. Representatives from the project operators, engineering/construction firms, reserve engineers and other industry consultants, government, key regulators and legal experts will look at recent developments, explain their roles, share their recent experience and give their views on the future. What impact will increasing concerns for continental security and North American energy strategies potentially have on oil sands development? What is the current economic climate from an industry perspective and what issues are facing oil sands developers? What will be required for the majority of projects currently deferred to be restarted? What are the latest strategies being employed to address the industry’s recent history of continuing capital cost increases? Is oil pipeline export capacity an issue? How will oil sands production, which requires a significant amount of natural gas, benefit from the current natural gas supply environment and lower expected gas prices going forward? What are the latest emerging technologies and companies in the sector? How will future development be impacted by countries, such as the U.S., where emerging CO2 emissions regulations are being formulated? From a market perspective, will crude oil markets continue to be able to absorb the increased production? These and many other questions will be addressed during the conference. The presentations of panels will give you an in-depth analysis of these issues and give you an opportunity to express your own points of view, ask whatever questions might interest you and network with your colleagues in industry and Government. You will be able to address your questions to the speakers either in each session or informally during breaks. All attendees will receive Conference materials, prepared by the speakers, which should be a lasting and valuable resource for you following the Conference.

John Nenniger Key N-Solv technology principles:
Glen C. Schmidt Resource extraction in in situ oil sands has much in common with conventional oil and gas. The opportunity to enhance the economic and environmental impact is significant. Innovation through solvents for example mirrors many of the lessons of secondary recovery in conventional oil and gas. Project specific exploitation plans are optimizing development of plays such as the oil sands carbonates. Systematic and staged operations, lessons well learned in conventional oil and gas offer a clear road map to cost management. The in situ-innovation landscape describes an expanding opportunity and an increasingly competitive oil supply to other basins in the world. |
