3Oil Sands Resource, Production, Markets
4The Global Energy Context
- Significant energy demand growth
- Population, standards of living
- Need all forms of energy
- Increasing role for renewables
- Continuing reliance on hydrocarbons
- Increasing role for non- conventional crude oil
natural gas - Technology is a key lever for sustainable growth
- Production
- Cost competitiveness
- Environmental performance

- GHG emissions from oil sands
- just over 1/1000th of global GHG emissions
- 6.5 of Canadas GHG emissions
- 29 reduction in intensity from 1990

17Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Oil Sands
Oil Sands GHG Emissions/bbl
- Energy Efficiency
- Using less energy input
- Reducing energy waste/losses
- Capturing waste heat
- Cogeneration power/steam
- Improved recovery processes
- Lower temperature extraction
- Additives to reduce use of both water and energy
(steam) - Use of electricity rather than steam
- Underground combustion rather than steam
- Carbon capture sequestration
- Most effective at upgraders

19Water Use and Quality
- Mining
- 2-4 bbl of water per bbl of oil
- 80-90 recycle
- Currently use 0.5 per cent of the annual flow of
the Athabasca river - To protect during low flow periods withdrawals
are restricted - Drillable (Insitu)
- 0.25-0.5 bbls of water per bbl of oil
- 90-95 recycle
- No water from Athabasca River
- Shift to using saline water from sub-surface
aquifers - Newer projects are using 100 saline water for
steam
- Enhanced monitoring systems
- Science based, transparent, credible
- Recent federal and provincial government reviews
to enhance monitoring

20Environmental Social Performance
- Focus on both crude oil / oil sands natural gas
- Reputation Performance Communication
- Continuous performance improvement
- More effective messaging (breadth, channels,
transparency) - Improved industry collaboration
- Key concerns expressed regarding oil gas
development - Local / regional environmental social impacts
(air, land, water, biodiversity) - Global climate change
- Role of fossil fuels in future energy system
21Royal Society of Canada ReportEnvironmental
Health Impacts of Canadas Oil Sands Industry
- Science-based, independent analysis of the
environmental aspects of Canadas oil sands - Addresses many of the issues and perceptions of
oil sands development - Reclamation is not keeping pace, but sustainable
reclamation is achievable - Water use does not threaten viability of the
Athabasca River - No impact on Athabasca water quality/ecosystem
and no evidence of impact on human health in
downstream communities - Tailings technologies are emerging, but tailings
inventory is growing - GHG emissions per barrel are reducing but growing
production creates a challenge in meeting
international commitments - Minimal impacts on regional air quality

22Responsible Canadian Energy
- Oil Sands Report
- Principles Performance
- Measurement Reporting
- Transparency
23Oil Sands Advertising -Communicating with the
Public
- To demonstrate that industry takes these issues
seriously and what is being done by real people
to address them.
24Success Stories
25Summary
- 3Es
- Environmental performance
- Energy security reliability
- Economic growth
- Competitiveness social license are must haves
- Reputation Performance Communication
- Technology is key performance lever
- We need to work together we all need to step up!
A great opportunity for Canada and the
U.S.needs innovative, creative, committed,
determined people to make it happen!
