The ERCB estimates that by 2017 oil sands production will make ...
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.

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).
Beleaguered British oil major BP, for instance, reported a 5% year-over-year drop in total oil and gas production in the first quarter, while ExxonMobil saw a similar 3.5% year-over-year dip in ...
