The Importance of the Oil Sands

    conventional oil in Canada. A source for export
    to USA (recall USA concerns over security of
    supply). Will produce ½ of Cdn oil by 2005 or
    06.
  • Along with rising price of oil and natural gas,
    is an engine driving the current Alberta boom
  • The new megaprojects Numerous new plants or
    expansions are planned, each at several billion
    dollars before cost over-runs. Total 63
    Billion
