Overview of oil sands developments!
The Scope and the
Challenge
North East Alberta
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Bitumen Deposits =140,200 sq km
Size…
 largest known hydrocarbon deposit
 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels in deposit
 2nd
largest petroleum reserves in the world
(Saudi Arabia has largest)
 175 billion barrels of bitumen deemed
recoverable (15% of the world reserves)
 With newer technologies, up to 2.5 trillion
barrels might be recovered
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Geographical Comparison
 larger than the state of Florida
 2 X size of New Brunswick
 4.5 X size of Vancouver Island
 greater than the entire country of Honduras
(112,088 sq. km)
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Current production
 Currently, 1.1 million barrels bitumen/day
 about 1/3 Alberta’s total oil production
 expected to rise to 2.7 million barrels / day by
2015
 oil sands could supply Canada’s energy
needs for 475 years
 or total world needs for up to 15 years
Future Potential
Currently industry recovers 1.1 million barrels of
bitumen / day
 = about 1/3 Alberta’s total oil production
 expected to rise to 2.7 million barrels / day by
2015
 oil sands could supply Canada’s energy needs
for more than 475 years
 or total world needs for up to 15 years
Open pit mining method
Open pit mining:
 19% of reserve close to the surface
 ‘truck and shovel mining’ method
 move enough ‘overburden’ [sic] and oil sands
every 2 days to fill Toronto’s Skydome
 2 tonnes must be dug up, moved and
processed to produce 1 barrel of oil

Extraction, processing and end-
products
 hot water extraction technique is used to
separate bitumen from oil sands
 75% of the bitumen can be recovered from
sand
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
70% used for transport fuels—gasoline,
diesel, jet fuel
Pipelines through Jasper
Massive tailings ponds
2nd
largest dam in the world
Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice
Sometimes directly beside the
Athabasca River
Forest reclamation
Alternative extraction methods
 81% of oil sands reserves too deep to be
open pit mined (deeper than 75 metres)
 other processes are being developed
 leading process, at the moment, are in situ
steam operations
 E.g. Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage
(SAGD).

Economic impacts
 Alberta GDP was $183 billion (2006)
 GDP growth rate of 6.6%
 Alberta unemployment rate 3.4 % (March 2008)
 CPI Inflation Rate 3.5 % (Jan 2008)
 Alberta’s GDP per capita was $58,394
 45% above Canadian average of $40,351
 40% above second place Ontario
 $100B investment expected between 2000-2020
Where are we going?

Excavating the Alberta Oil Sands with Public Justice

  • 1. Overview of oil sands developments! The Scope and the Challenge
  • 6. Size…  largest known hydrocarbon deposit  1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels in deposit  2nd largest petroleum reserves in the world (Saudi Arabia has largest)  175 billion barrels of bitumen deemed recoverable (15% of the world reserves)  With newer technologies, up to 2.5 trillion barrels might be recovered
  • 8. Geographical Comparison  larger than the state of Florida  2 X size of New Brunswick  4.5 X size of Vancouver Island  greater than the entire country of Honduras (112,088 sq. km)
  • 10. Current production  Currently, 1.1 million barrels bitumen/day  about 1/3 Alberta’s total oil production  expected to rise to 2.7 million barrels / day by 2015  oil sands could supply Canada’s energy needs for 475 years  or total world needs for up to 15 years
  • 12. Currently industry recovers 1.1 million barrels of bitumen / day  = about 1/3 Alberta’s total oil production  expected to rise to 2.7 million barrels / day by 2015  oil sands could supply Canada’s energy needs for more than 475 years  or total world needs for up to 15 years
  • 13. Open pit mining method
  • 14. Open pit mining:  19% of reserve close to the surface  ‘truck and shovel mining’ method  move enough ‘overburden’ [sic] and oil sands every 2 days to fill Toronto’s Skydome  2 tonnes must be dug up, moved and processed to produce 1 barrel of oil
  • 18. Extraction, processing and end- products  hot water extraction technique is used to separate bitumen from oil sands  75% of the bitumen can be recovered from sand
  • 21. 70% used for transport fuels—gasoline, diesel, jet fuel
  • 24. 2nd largest dam in the world
  • 26. Sometimes directly beside the Athabasca River
  • 28. Alternative extraction methods  81% of oil sands reserves too deep to be open pit mined (deeper than 75 metres)  other processes are being developed  leading process, at the moment, are in situ steam operations  E.g. Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD).
  • 32. Economic impacts  Alberta GDP was $183 billion (2006)  GDP growth rate of 6.6%  Alberta unemployment rate 3.4 % (March 2008)  CPI Inflation Rate 3.5 % (Jan 2008)  Alberta’s GDP per capita was $58,394  45% above Canadian average of $40,351  40% above second place Ontario  $100B investment expected between 2000-2020
