"HTL Upgrading Value Proposition for Oil Sands"
The oil sands of Alberta in western Canada are undergoing an investment boom worth more than $100 billion. From 2007 to 2016, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EuB) projects total real investment in Alberta’s oil sands (surface mining, upgrading, in situ, and support services) to reach Canadian $118 billion. Oil sands output is set to rise from about 1.2 million barrels a day to an expected 3 million b/d by 2016, and perhaps 4 million plus by 2020. that could make Canada the world’s fourth-biggest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United States.
The Alberta oil sands and heavy oil industry is both a globally important and growing source of oil supply as well as a vital breeding ground for production and environmental technology. as the boom continues, share your ideas, experiences, technology, and expertise with major industry players who must react quickly to the rapid expansion. Plan to attend the second annual Oil Sands and Heavy Oil Technologies Conference & Exhibition, July 15 – 17, 2008 at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
