3Recent Trends in Crude Oil Prices
- The recent bull run is significantly ahead of my
call for 180/bbl oil by 2016 - 3 year average price is now over 60 US
- Many Wall Street analysts continue to project
long term crude oil prices in the 55 to 60
range and expect a huge supply reaction to the
current high prices

6Global Energy Demand Trends
- Crude Oil, Natural Gas and Coal represent the
bulk of global energy demand now and well into
the future - Crude oil demand only slightly moderated after
the 25 time run up in the 1970s (from 1.35 to
35) - Alternative sources are not expected to reduce
our dependency on the primary fossil fuels

8Global Oil Sector Outlook

barrels/day in 2006 and has been growing by 2.2
per year since 2002 (IEA) - Global supply for crude oil was 85.1 Million
barrels/day in 2006 and is growing by 1.2 per
year since 2002 (IEA) - Producing oil wells are depleting by 4 to 6 per
year (ExxonMobil annual report) - Exploration and Development costs for crude oil
are over 30,000 US per boe/day, oil sands
projects are in the 65,000 to 100,000 range

12Global Oil Reserves
- Global oil reserves are concentrated in just a
few countries - There are 192 countries that consume oil, 30
produce some oil and only 17 can export more than
500,000 barrels/day - Of the 10 largest oil reserves in the world, 9
are controlled by national oil companies or
protectionist governments

14Lack of Investment Opportunities
- Currently, US Energy companies reinvest only a
portion of their profits into finding and
developing more production and reserves, the
majority of profits are used for dividends and
share repurchases - Most of the worlds known oil reserves are
inaccessible to corporate private investors - Focus will shift to unconventional sources such
as shale oil in the US and oil sands in Canada - Exploration and Development costs will continue
to climb and create a floor price of at least 55
for oil - Companies will demand and get abnormally high
rates of return on new capital investments

16Planned Oil Sands Production Growth to 2020
17Canada will surpass Saudi Arabia
- Canada has the worlds second largest oil
reserves in the world, 174 Billion barrels of
proven and over 305 Billion barrels of proven and
probable reserves - Geopolitically stable and the largest crude
exporter to the US (16 of all US imports) - Oil companies are all independently owned
- Established industry which is open to foreign
investment

19Investing in a Post Income Trust / Royalty Rate
Increase Environment
- Oil Sands companies will soon become Canadas
best cash flow investments - Price Appreciation potential and dividend growth
will become the dominant investment trend by
2011. MA will also help drive prices up. - Oil Sands companies provide great diversification
from interest sensitive cash flow investments
like bank and utility stocks - Oil Sands producers still get an attractive
royalty tax regime until all capital costs are
recovered and crude oil prices will soon exceed
royalty rate maximums
20The Five Key Factors Summary
Source Sustainable Wealth Management Ltd.
21Recent Trends in Canadian Oil Sands Investments
- Market pullbacks are shallow and short lived
- Natural gas (input cost) are not rising as fast
as crude oil prices, great for profit margins - New proposed tax rules on income trusts
eliminates an attractive exit strategy for the
sector - New Alberta royalty tax rates will cap the upside
once a project reaches breakeven however higher
crude oil prices and lower corporate taxes will
offset the effect
