In recent years technological breakthroughs have overcome the economical and technical difficulties of producing the oil sands, and by 2007 64% of Alberta's petroleum production of 1.86 million barrels per day (296,000 m 3 /d) was from oil sands rather than conventional oil fields. The ERCB estimates that by 2017 oil sands production will make ...
English: Plot of Canadian oil production from 1950 to 2014 and estimate up to 2030 generated using Excel using data from the Canadian National Energy Board (NEB) and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP).
At a depth of 4.26 metres (14.0 ft) [6] he struck oil, one year before "Colonel" Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in the United States. [7] Williams later went on to found "The Canadian Oil Company" which qualified as the world’s first integrated oil company.
(Reuters) -Three of Canada's biggest oil producers, Suncor Energy, Cenovus Energy and Imperial Oil, on Thursday projected higher production in 2025, betting on resilient demand for Canadian crude ...
Different estimates may or may not include oil shale, mined oil sands or natural gas liquids. Because proven reserves include oil recoverable under current economic conditions, nations may see large increases in proven reserves when known, but previously uneconomic deposits become economic to develop.
In 1962 (the same year the Great Canadian Oil Sands proposal went up for approval) Cities Service Athabasca Inc. proposed a 16,000 cubic metre per day plant at the site of its Mildred Lake pilot project. Including a pipeline to Edmonton, the plant was to cost $56 million, with construction beginning in 1965 and completion in 1968.
The remaining resource estimates (after the reserves have been accounted) are likely sub-commercial and may still be under appraisal with the potential to be technically recoverable once commercially established. Natural gas is frequently associated with oil directly and gas reserves are commonly quoted in barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).
