The changing economic viability of mining in Canada's tar sands oil industry in 2012-2015

08/01/2007

Costs of synthetic crude manufactured from mining bitumen can exceed $100 a barrel as costs escalate in the recent boom in Alberta oil sands region. U.S. crude prices have dropped below $90 a barrel putting some large multibillion projects of Suncor Energy on hold. Production from U.S. Bakken oil fields in N. Dakota and limited pipelie space is changing the economics of production from tar sands.

The proposed U.S.-Canada partnership for the Keystone XL Pipeline project

01/07/2009

This would bring an additional 1.1 million barrels of Canadian oil to the U.S. from Alberta oil sands. The project is being held up by the Obama administration. The Energy Department gave its approval in February 2011, but it is being held up for further environmental studies. Advances in environmental protection for oil sands development have reduced the footprint of the processes used in production of oil. This would reduce imports from the Middle East and have a favorable impact on oil prices.
