THE FACTS

ALBERTA OIL SANDS:

CANADA IS THE MOST REGULATED, MONITORED, TRANSPARENT & SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE OIL PRODUCING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

of these reserves are located in Alberta’s oil sands

CANADA HAS THE THIRD LARGEST OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD

GLOBAL ENERGY DEMAND WILL INCREASE 28% BY 2040

MANY OF THE PRODUCTS WE USE EVERY DAY ARE MADE FROM OILPHONES, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, CONTACT LENSES, FURNITURE, CLOTHING, COMPUTERS, DETERGENTS, GLUES, SOCCER BALLS, BIKE TIRES, SKIS, LUGGAGE, CAMPING GEAR, CRAYONS, ROADS ...

Oil sands are comprised of grains of sand surrounded by a film of water and bitumen. Bitumen, a heavy and viscous oil, is solid in colder temperatures

THE BASICS

Global energy consumption will increase 41% by 2050 Fossil fuels will remain the most important part

of the energy mix for decades

OIL DEMAND WILL REMAIN HIGH FOR DECADES

Fossil FuelsNuclearRenewables

20502015

In situ (“in place”) technology is used to drill down into oil

reservoirs and heat the oil so it can be pumped to the surface

Mining reserves are closer to the surface and accessed by trucks and shovels

80% OF RESERVES ARE IN SITU, WHILE ONLY 20% OF RESERVES ARE MINEABLE

IN 2019, THE WORLD IS ANTICIPATED TO USE 100 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL PER DAY

EMISSIONS

CLIMATE CHANGE LEGISLATION In 2007, Alberta was the first jurisdiction in North America to pass

Many SAGD producers use

COGENERATION to produce both steam and power together on-site, and provide low cost, reliable, green electricity for Alberta

COGENERATIONUtilizing cogeneration versus coal REDUCES ALBERTA’S CO2 EMISSIONS BY OVER TWO THIRDS

CANADA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT CURRENTLY HAS GHG REGULATIONS IN PLACE

Of the top 10 exporting oil countries,
