- 82 of the worlds known oil reserves are state
controlled or managed by national oil companies - Only 18 is openly accessible to the market
- Two thirds of that accessible oil is in Canadas

- The Provinces have jurisdiction over the
development of their resources - The Government of Canada has legislative and/or
mandated responsibilities in the areas of - Fisheries and Navigable Waters, Wildlife
Protection - Trans-boundary Issues and Human Health
- Shared responsibilities include a fiscal and
regulatory framework that encourages investment,
technology development, and meets environmental
goals

12Canada is your Largest and Most Secure Energy
Supplier
- Canada is a strategic partner of the United
States, supplying oil, natural gas, uranium and
electricity - 91 of U.S. gas imports, and nearly 20 of U.S.
consumption - 33 of U.S. uranium imports
- 98 of U.S. electricity imports
- 20 of U.S. imports of crude oil and petroleum
products
13Oil is an Important Part of our Energy Mix
- Global economic growth is going to require more
energy of all kinds - Canada and the United States are preparing for
the shift away from fossil fuels towards cleaner
fuels - The oil sands are a vital part of the North
American energy future
14Canadian Production Relies on Oil Sands Crude
15Oil Sands Production Technologies
In situ
Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage
- In Situ
- 80 of resource
- 45 of current production
- No tailings ponds
- No water drawn from the Athabasca River
- Smaller footprint
Cyclic Steam Process
- Mining
- 20 of resource
- 55 of current production
- The mineable area represents 3 of the total oil
sands area
16Well-to-wheel GHG Emissions by Crude Type
- Oil sands derived fuels generally have 10 higher
emissions than other crudes used in the United
States - Emissions for conventional crudes will increase
over time with the global shift to heavier crudes
while new technologies will further decrease GHG
emissions from the oil sands

17Life-cycle GHG Emissions
The full life-cycle of emissions (well to
wheels) measures the GHG impact of fuels from
their extraction to use For gasoline, around 75 -
80 of life cycle GHG emissions from gasoline
arise from combustion (tank to wheel)

18Canadas GHG Policies
Alberta Government Legislation passed requiring
mandatory GHG emissions reductions (first in
North America) Alberta Climate Change Plan sets
target to reduce provincial GHG emissions in 2050
by 50 from BAU Achievements to Date
Transportation and energy infrastructures between
Canada 122 million paid into the Climate Change
and Emissions Management Fund to support
transformative emission reduction technologies in
Alberta 6.5 million tonnes in real reductions
made (equivalent to removing 1.3 million vehicles
from the road for a year)
- Federal Government
- Committed to reduce GHG emissions by 20 below
2006 levels by 2020 and 60-70 by 2050 - Specific policy framework, covering major GHG
sources, announced this fall - Committed to achieve 90 of electricity from
non-emitting sources by 2020 - Budget 2009 created the Clean Energy Fund, which
includes 650M for CCS - Entered into a Clean Energy Dialogue with the
United States, which will advance CCS in Canada
and the United States - Endorsed G8 commitment to launch 20 CCS
demonstrations by 2010
19Canadas Oil Sands
- The oil sands are a strategic resource that will
contribute to energy security for Canada, North
America and the world for decades to come. - There are significant environmental challenges in
the areas of air, land and water. - Improvements have been made in each of these
areas, but more must be done. - We have the regulatory framework to support our
objectives for improved environmental
performance. - Governments and industry are making the
investments in technology to achieve our
objectives in environmental performance. - We are committed to bring on this key strategic
resource in an environmentally responsible way.
