We saw a problem that needed to be solved: how to efficiently and environmentally produce heavy oil (including Canada’s oil sands) in a world that expects green solutions. So we got to work, tested some new concepts, and worked out a solution. Toe to Heel Air Injection, or THAI TM, is a technology proven to unlock more energy with less stress on Mother Nature. •
Smaller surface footprint
•
Produces water
•
Reduced greenhouse gases
•
In situ carbon capture
Heavy oil will be a cornerstone of our future energy needs. Global light oil reserves are rapidly depleting and alternative energy sources are not sufficient for the world’s needs. Proven in the world’s toughest conditions – Canada’s oil sands – THAITM is now ready for the world.
www.petrobank.com
Production Wells Injection Wells
Frontal Advance Combustion Zone Coke Zone Toe
Mobile Oil Zone
Oil Sand Formation Heel
The THAITM process pairs vertical air injection wells with horizontal heavy oil production wells. Once the heavy oil is heated at the “toe”, air is injected to create a controlled combustion front that slowly sweeps the reservoir toward the “heel”. The combustion creates partially upgraded THAI TM oil that is brought to the surface where it is treated and sent to market.

Achieve Long-Term Caprock Integrity
I
n Canadian oil sands, in situ production can be technically challenging. Subsurface injection processes such as steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) expose the formation to changes in pressure and temperature, enhancing recovery and altering rock stresses but potentially threatening caprock integrity. Therefore, understanding enhanced oil recovery (EOR) effects on the formation is crucial to project performance, especially in light of impending government legislation which requires operators to secure long-term caprock integrity.

Alberta’s oil sands contain immobile bitumen, effectively a solid at reservoir conditions. Resources are found in a variety of environments, and production mechanisms that prove successful in one region will not necessarily succeed in another. In Canada, SAGD and CSS are the two most common EOR methods used; both processes cause reservoir volume to expand. And although steam injection shears the reservoir to enhance performance, it can also fracture boundary layers, risking containment breach of the caprock or fault reactivation. sChlumberGer solutIons
Integrated reservoir engineering and geomechanical analysis are the keys to optimizing oil sands in situ projects. Geomechanics helps predict alterations in formation rock properties and caprock integrity, based on well logs, well tests, and core, surface, or seismic data. The information is used by Schlumberger in reservoir and geomechanical modeling and monitoring to provide a robust, predictive system. This integrated approach includes advanced measurements obtained with the Sonic Scanner* acoustic scanning
platform, mini-frac testing with the MDT* modular formation dynamics tester tool, multidisciplinary expertise in geosciences and engineering from the TerraTek* Geomechanics Laboratory Center of Excellence, VISAGE* reservoir geomechanics modeling software, and ECLIPSE* reservoir simulation software. The result is a complete set of solutions to simulate and predict the dynamic behavior of heavy oil reservoirs. optImum results
Reservoir modeling and geomechanical analysis can enhance project design and operating parameters to reduce project costs. Without fully understanding the formation, expensive setbacks can occur. Characterizing the geology, understanding reservoir geomechanics, field monitoring, and integrated analysis enables operators to understand the risks and benefits associated with higher injection pressures and steam/oil ratios. Production mechanisms can then be optimized to suit the environment, and long-term caprock integrity can be achieved.

Welcome to the fifth edition of the Heavy Oil and Oilsands Guidebook and Directory. The Canadian Heavy Oil Association (CHOA) welcomes again the opportunity to collaborate with JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy Group and its industry advisory team to prepare this very important publication. Each year the guidebook evolves and improves, and this year is no exception. The guidebook provides a snapshot of the issues and challenges faced by the industry, and profiles a collection of key people dealing with those issues. Over the past three years, the oilsands industry has gone from boom times, with labour and staff shortages, to recession, where many projects were placed on hold. Now in 2010, we as an industry are looking at a more balanced market, with projects being pulled off the shelf, dusted off, and put back on the table. Construction costs have seen declines of up to 30 per cent in some cases, making projects more viable. The heavy to light oil differential is low, making in situ operations more profitable, but squeezing the margins for upgraders. Our industry can expect to enjoy a more stable workforce for an extended period. The outlook for future energy demand, and improving exploitation technology, has given our industry tremendous confidence in its future. In spite of the sudden economic challenges we experienced over the last year or so, the industry is looking ahead to the recovery that has started. Sustained development of technology will be key to enduring success, and we should look forward to investments in technology for sustained productivity growth. There is a growing need for education as the environmental agenda continues to mount, much of it fuelled by distortion and misinformation. This issue of the Heavy Oil and Oilsands Guidebook and Directory puts a strong focus on the environment. It examines some of the commonly held beliefs about the impacts of our industry, sorting out what is fact, what is fiction, and building a foundation for the evolving role of the CHOA to provide objective, reliable information about the industry and its impact in a global context. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will play an increasing role in how our industry addresses the important issue of emissions. This publication takes a look at the current status of CCS in Canada, examining issues such as where CO2 will be stored, what technologies are being developed to capture it, and how the system might impact the public. Evolving carbon trading systems and regulation will provide a framework for creating value from CO2 management, which will be an important factor in turning a challenge into opportunity, and creating a platform for reducing emissions in the global context. This publication outlines how these systems can work. It is an exciting year for the industry. With expectations tempered by the recent economic downturn and current recovery cycle, future prospects are perhaps brighter than ever. We can look forward to a recovery with a combination of growth and stability that industry has not enjoyed for some time.

Heavy oil and oilsands resources are critical to Alberta’s energy mix and important drivers of economic prosperity. Many Albertans and Alberta communities owe their livelihoods and economic success, either directly or indirectly, to this industry. The mining and oil and gas extraction sector directly employs 146,900 Albertans. According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute, one job in the oil and gas sector is supported by two jobs in other support industries such as hotels and restaurants, and those support industries are supported by 1.7 jobs in other industries. The past year was a challenging one for Alberta. After a period of exceptional growth in previous years, the global economic downturn and plummeting energy prices in early 2009 left a mark, and significantly decreased industry activity. Alberta today is focused on a strong recovery for our economy and the long-term prosperity of our province. A return to economic growth globally and renewed demand for oil products, combined with greatly reduced costs for labour and materials, makes Alberta a great place to invest and do business. This year, renewed growth in the oil sector will position Alberta to lead the country out of the recession. The Alberta government has and will respond to challenges and opportunities in the oil sector. In partnership with industry and the investment community, the Competitiveness Review will make sure Alberta remains a desired place for business to invest and operate. We will also be working closely with industry to define the details and market design of bitumen royalty-in-kind, as we seek to encourage local markets for bitumen through additional upgraders and refineries in our province. Moving forward, Alberta has in place oilsands and provincial energy strategies to address long-term environmental and social challenges, while optimizing economic opportunities. Alberta will be ready as growth returns. Alberta’s $2-billion Carbon Capture and Storage Fund is advancing technology that will support hydrocarbon fuel use as clean and environmentally sustainable. We will continue to take actions that will help make Alberta a global energy leader that is recognized as a world-class energy supplier, energy technology champion, and responsible energy consumer and environmental citizen. As Alberta’s Minister of Energy, I look forward to working together with industry and all Albertans in building a prosperous energy future.

As Saskatchewan’s Minister of Enterprise, I welcome the opportunity to help promote our province’s robust and dynamic oil industry and heavy oil resources in the fifth edition of the Heavy Oil and Oilsands Guidebook and Directory. Saskatchewan has undergone a remarkable period of growth and prosperity in the past several years, in spite of global economic challenges across the world. We are predicted to be Canada’s top province in economic growth in 2010 and 2011. To a significant extent, this economic performance is being driven by our energy sector. Saskatchewan is the second-largest oil producer in Canada—the fifth-largest among all American states and Canadian provinces. Our initial oil in place, the amount identified in underground reservoirs, is estimated at 43.3 billion barrels. This does not include anything from oilsands or oil shale, as these are not considered “conventional,” nor does it fully factor in Saskatchewan’s portion of the Bakken formation. Saskatchewan’s remaining recoverable reserves of conventional crude oil are estimated at approximately 1.2 billion barrels. Of this total, 611 million barrels are classified as heavy oil, with the remainder classified as medium and light. There is also an estimated 27,000 square kilometres with some degree of oilsands potential in northwestern Saskatchewan, and work continues on better defining this potential. Building on these assets are Saskatchewan’s leading research and technological advancements geared to finding ways to increase recoverable reserves. The Petroleum Technology Research Centre at Regina’s Innovation Place research park is leading our research into developing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage technologies. Canada’s largest study of the potential for geological storage of CO2 is well underway in the Weyburn-Midale oilfields in southeastern Saskatchewan. The technology has attracted international attention and support for sequestering major greenhouse gases. The Saskatchewan Research Council, which helped design and implement the province’s first horizontal well project in 1987, continues to advance EOR technology such as thermal recovery. This is alongside the vast range of innovative and competitive work ceaselessly being carried out by businesses in the private sector. Along with royalty and tax reductions, we have changed regulations to reduce red tape, encourage activity, and support sound resource management. The Fraser Institute’s 2009 Global Petroleum Survey ranked Saskatchewan well ahead of its main competitors—Alberta and British Columbia—in terms of its investment climate for oil and gas exploration and production. To complement all of this, Saskatchewan possesses infrastructure; advanced technology; a positive overall business environment; and a government fully supportive of innovation, growth, and expansion. We welcome the growing interest that is being generated by these qualities and look forward to what we can build together in the days to come.

note
Sustainable, measured development Like green shoots pushing up through the snow, slowly…but oh so surely, activity is returning to Canada’s oilsands and heavy oil industry. Not that it really stopped. Yes, industry certainly felt the slowdown that was precipitated by the meltdown of the world’s economies and the crash in oil prices beginning in late 2008. And yes, the slowdown continues today. But there is a growing sense of optimism that the worst is over and that a more sustainable, measured pace of development is taking hold. In this fifth edition of the Heavy Oil and Oilsands Guidebook and Directory—an annual publication that showcases Canada’s heavy oil and oilsands industry, its triumphs, and the challenges ahead—you’ll learn about the key people, projects, technologies, and challenges that bear watching in the coming year. You can bet this year will be different than last. For one thing, operating costs have dropped by 13 per cent, according to the Canadian Energy Research Institute. Capital costs to construct new projects, meanwhile, declined by 15 per cent. These two points—coupled with higher oil prices—make it more attractive to invest in Canada again. Already we’ve seen some big announcements about oilsands projects in 2010. Don’t be surprised to hear about more as the year goes on. And be assured that with all the attention of late about the environmental challenges facing industry, you’ll hear more about how producers and suppliers are addressing those concerns. As described in this edition, oilsands companies recognize their environmental footprint and are committed to finding and implementing innovative solutions to manage development more sustainably and responsibly. Technology will play a vital role in greening the oilsands. Operators are pouring millions of dollars into tailings research and reclamation, and funding projects to help reduce natural gas and water use. Provincial and federal governments are contributing billions of dollars to develop carbon capture and storage solutions. Canada’s heavy oil wealth is needed around the world. These resources represent a reliable and stable source of crude. The oilsands will continue to be a vital contributor to American energy security and future supply, but the United States isn’t the only suitor interested in Alberta’s bitumen wealth. The Asian market, and China in particular, is central to leveraging the oilsands as a world-class play. PetroChina’s $1.9-billion acquisition of majority stakes in two projects planned by Athabasca Oil Sands Corp. was officially sanctioned by the federal government at the end of 2009. The deal is China’s largest investment to date in the oilsands. It probably won’t be the last. One cannot underestimate the importance of heavy oil and oilsands to a world with an unquenchable thirst for energy. This publication (as have previous editions) gives you an unparalleled inside look at the industry.

1 Thank you, Kearl! The economic downturn slammed the door on about $100 billion of oilsands investment, so Imperial Oil‘s announcement in May that it had approved the first phase of Kearl—an $8-billion oilsands mining project— was a positive shot in the arm for the recessionstalled sector.

2 The fall of their discontent Greenpeace staged a series of demonstrations in the fall to protest “the climate crimes of the tar sands.” On Sept. 30, activists entered Suncor’s oilsands operation, stopping conveyor belts that carry bitumen from the mine to the upgrading plant. Two weeks earlier, protesters chained themselves to equipment at Royal Dutch Shell’s oilsands facility. In early October, Greenpeace occupied Shell’s Scotford upgrader site.
H E AV Y O I L & O I L S A N D S G U I D E B O O K & D I R E C T O R Y V
3 Marriages and breakups Suncor Energy and PetroCanada announced in March an agreement to merge in an all-stock deal. Meanwhile, EnCana spun off its integrated oil business, including thermal oil and the 50 per cent upgrading/refining joint venture in the United States, into Cenovus Energy. The split was completed Nov. 30.
4 Making a plan Alberta’s Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) released Directive 074: Tailings Performance Criteria and Requirements for Oil Sands Mining Schemes in early February. The directive requires operators to prepare tailings plans and report on tailings ponds annually as well as reduce the accumulation of fluid tailings by capturing fines and placing them in a deposit that is trafficable. Companies were also required to specify dates for construction, use, and closure of fluid tailings ponds deposits and file these dates with the ERCB by Sept. 30, 2009.
5 That’s nine zeros Imperial Oil announced in October that its Cold Lake project in northeastern Alberta has surpassed one billion barrels of cumulative output, 25 years after the first commercial production and more than four decades after the company broke ground for the first thermal in situ field pilots. Only three other fields in Canada have achieved this milestone and Cold Lake is the only in situ project to have done so.
introduction
6 Comparing apples to apples Research of wellto-wheels life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions found that direct emissions from producing, transporting, and refining the oilsands are in the same range as those of other crudes refined in the United States. Carbon dioxide emissions generated from oilsands activities are on average about 10 per cent higher than competing U.S. crude imports and were approximately the same as heavy oil produced in California, the Alberta Energy Research Institute said in a report issued in July. The findings contradict some previous studies that concluded GHG emissions from oilsands are as much as 40 per cent higher than those from other sources.
10 First steps
7 Building a BRIK house In July, Alberta issued a request for proposals to process a share of royalty bitumen within the province. By taking bitumen royalty in-kind (BRIK), the province hopes to stimulate the economy through value-added activities such as upgrading, refining, and petrochemical developments.
8 Chinese investment Athabasca Oil Sands announced in August that PetroChina, one of the world’s largest energy companies, would acquire a 60 per cent working interest in its MacKay River and Dover oilsands projects for $1.9 billion. Earlier in the year, Sinopec purchased for an undisclosed sum an additional 10 per cent interest in the proposed Northern Lights oilsands mining project from Total SA. Total and Sinopec each hold 50 per cent of Northern Lights.
9 Money, money, money The federal and Alberta governments announced billions of dollars of funding for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in 2009, aimed at reducing GHG emissions. One of the biggest projects will see Shell Canada Limited inject up to 1.1 megatonnes of carbon per year at its Scotford upgrader. The company’s $1.35-billion CCS project, dubbed Quest, received a commitment for $865 million in funding from the Alberta and Canadian governments.
Devon Energy began injecting steam into the final pair of wells at its Jackfish SAGD oilsands project in March. The company expected Jackfish to reach its design capacity of 35,000 barrels per day by the end of 2009. Canadian Natural Resources achieved its first synthetic crude oil (SCO) production at Horizon on Feb. 28, and the first shipment of SCO into the sales pipeline was achieved March 18. Nexen announced in late January first production of Premium Sweet Crude from its upgrader at Long Lake.

things to watch for in
2010
by Deborah Jaremko Illustration by Nickelas Johnson
1
Projects coming off the shelves In the fall of 2009, the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) released a study saying, in part, that this is a time of “golden opportunity” for new oilsands projects, a result of reduced construction capital costs and operating costs over the preceding 12 months. However, research director David McColl says that this golden window is likely to last only into the first few months of 2010. “The gains that a project has of going ahead today will be eaten up in three to four years, but mostly in 2010.” McColl says this is because of capital cost inflation specific to megaprojects such as labour and materials. He expects there will be a short surge in new projects—including renewed investment in deep offshore projects internationally—that will quickly bid up costs once again.
20

Narrow differentials= no new upgraders The price of Canadian heavy oil relative to the price of its lighter counterparts—the heavy oil differential—is likely to remain tight in 2010, continuing the appeal of producing diluted bitumen rather than investing in new upgrading capacity within Alberta. “With Venezuela taking their heavy out of the U.S. market and the Mexican supply going into natural decline from its big fields, there is existing upgrading capacity looking for supply in the Gulf Coast. In addition, there are several refiners in the U.S. Midwest shifting from offshore supplies to more Canadian supplies and expanding their heavy upgrading/ refining capacity, again adding more upgrading,” says Greg Stringham, vice-president of oilsands and markets with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

Don’t ignore conversation 2.0
“Stop the tar sands” continues
New barrels on capacity and efficiency
While production companies already do a good job at local community consultation, they could continue to miss the boat in getting their broader message across. “As the price of oil goes up, the scrutiny will increase,” says Anne Stone Johnson, vice-president with public relations consulting firm Weber Shandwick. “Social media is going to get bigger and bigger. Producers ignore it at their peril.”
Oilsands protestors— especially Greenpeace— had a raging year in 2009. The future of this movement, says Pembina Institute oilsands director Simon Dyer, will be directly related to the actions of government. Pembina is not directly involved with this movement, although it does express significant concerns about the oilsands industry. “The level of opposition hinges on whether the governments of Alberta and Canada really address the environmental issues. If they are not addressed, I would expect the level of opposition to continue to escalate. It seems to be spreading.”
Some oilsands projects may be coming off the shelves, but that does not mean a flood of new production in 2010. “Don’t expect much incremental growth in 2010,” says CERI’s McColl, adding that the industry will, however, see continued ramp-up of projects already commissioned, such as Canadian Natural Horizon and a slew of relatively new SAGD projects. “[There will be] a move toward capacity and efficiency improvements.” CERI predicts there will be about $8 billion invested in the oilsands in 2010, a substantial portion of that directed at projects that will come online in 2012–2013.
introduction
6 Expect carbon legislation Perhaps the biggest headwind facing the oilsands industry in 2010 is environmental legislation coming out of Washington, says Houston-based consultant Robert Peterson, vice-president of Charles River Associates. Ottawa and Alberta are not likely to kill the goose that lays the golden egg by imposing GHG regulations and containment costs that would threaten future expansion, he says, but he’s not as certain Washington will do the same. “It is highly likely that [sometime in 2010] we will have cap-and-trade and a carbon tax,” he says.
7 Interest swapping to continue There could be a lot of movement in industry transactions in 2010, with significant project interests already up for grab such as Opti’s stake in the integrated Long Lake SAGD project and ConocoPhillips’s piece of Syncrude. Colin Outtrim, president of petroleum consultancy DeGoyler and MacNaughton Canada, says, “Foreign money will continue to chase these and will be forcing a more competitive response from large North American buyers.”
10 8 The economy and the price of oil: up, up, and slowly away It would seem that economic recovery is slowly taking hold, and the price of oil is expected to settle into a relatively nice spread of between $75 and $80 per barrel throughout 2010. As for the recession— well, CERI’s McColl says it really wasn’t that big of a deal to start with. “There has been a lot of doom and gloom about the recession,” he says. “That’s a generational issue. It was overly spun as a horrific thing when really it was just a small recession.”
Suncor to make tailings breakthrough
9 Job front neutral Before the price of oil tanked and the recession hit, 2010 was predicted to be beyond bustling in the oilsands sector. While that is clearly not going to be the reality, it is perhaps not all for the worst. “Two years ago, 2010 was going to be an absolutely impossible year to get through. It was going to be the peak of all peaks, but that’s not going to materialize,” says Brad Anderson, executive director of both the Alberta Chamber of Resources and the Construction Owners Association of Alberta. He says, however, that projects are still happening across the province, with the oilsands industry a bright spot. “It’s not like what we thought it was going to be, but it’s not going to be as bad as we thought last year…. 2010 will at best be a neutral year.”
Suncor Energy plans to “rapidly accelerate” the implementation of a new tailings-management technology that could drastically reduce the time it takes to make the waste substance trafficable and ready for reclamation—from decades to weeks. This as it expects to officially complete the reclamation of its first tailings pond to a trafficable surface. “It’s fitting that in the same year we reach an important reclamation milestone, we expect to implement improved technology to increase the pace of reclamation,” says Kirk Bailey, Suncor’s executive vice-president, oilsands.

Different
yet the same Canada’s oilsands projects are unique, but they add up to a combined commitment by Deborah Jaremko
F
rom little juniors to mid-size players and the world’s largest energy companies, the oilsands industry seems to have a spot for everyone. Some of the projects have been producing for decades, while at others the trucks and shovels have just started rolling, steam injection just commenced, or synthetic crude just recently started to be generated.
No two oilsands projects are alike. The resources are different, and so the strategies and technologies employed must also be different. These variations, if ever so slight, are what make each project unique. What these installations have in common is that together they represent the same thing—commitment to an industry that is by definition difficult, from the evolving technology that enables it to exist to the social licence that allows it to. These are Canada’s 27 operating oilsands projects.

Oilsand travels through one of Syncrude’s conveyor systems.
Syncrude With seven individual owner companies, Syncrude is by far the largest joint venture in the oilsands industry, and includes the strong influence of Imperial Oil, the Canadian arm of the largest energy company in the world, ExxonMobil. In 2009 Syncrude’s ownership shifted significantly with Suncor Energy’s purchase of PetroCanada, giving Suncor a 12 per cent stake in its long-time mining rival. In 2010 it is likely the ownership will again be reformed, as ConocoPhillips has put its nine per cent stake on the auction block.

Unlike SAGD, CSS uses well pads that incorporate pumpjacks.
Cold Lake Although steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has become the in situ production buzz around the oilsands, the technology that originally opened up the deposits too deep for surface mining was at Cold Lake by Imperial Oil—a little something called cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). To this day, Imperial’s Cold Lake project maintains its dominance as the largest in situ oilsands project in Canada.

Its Jackfish SAGD project is one of the first in the industry to use only saline, non-potable water for steam generation, reducing the impact on fresh water sources. Construction of a second 35,000-barrel-per-day phase is underway and is expected to be complete in 2011. Devon has also announced a joint venture with BP where it will operate and be 50 per cent owner of the Kirby SAGD project, located close to Jackfish. Further details are pending.

The Surmont project is about to undergo a major expansion.
Surmont ConocoPhillips Canada and 50 per cent partner Total E&P Canada gave the oilsands industry a significant boost in early 2010 with the announcement of sanction and construction start on a massive 83,000-barrel-per-day expansion of the Surmont SAGD project. This is ConocoPhillips’s only operated oilsands asset, but it has said its in situ oilsands interests could easily eventually lead to production of one million barrels per day.

One of Cenovus’ SAGD well pairs emerges from the earth at Christina Lake.
Christina Lake The Christina Lake SAGD project has always been much smaller than Foster Creek, the other half of the Foster Creek Christina Lake partnership between Cenovus Energy and ConocoPhillips Canada. But, the owners are working hard at changing that. In 2008 an 8,800-barrel-per-day expansion was commissioned, and a further 40,000-barrel-per-day expansion is under construction with completion expected in 2011.

Shell has been planning a major expansion at Peace River for years. The timing remains to be decided.
Peace River While Imperial Oil was busy testing in situ technologies at Cold Lake, Shell was doing the same at Peace River. Its first pilot in the area started up in 1979, with production from the current facility commencing in 1986. Shell uses a variation on CSS on its Peace River leases, complemented by primary production as well. In early 2010 Shell submitted its environmental impact statement to Alberta’s regulators for an expansion at Peace River that would take capacity to 80,000 barrels per day.

Tucker is Husky Energy’s first oilsands project.
Tucker Husky Energy’s first foray into thermal in situ bitumen production, Tucker, has experienced some challenges since start-up in 2006 and has not ramped up close to its 30,000-barrel-per-day design capacity. Husky says this is due to the position of the wells relative to the water saturation zone within the reservoir. The project has been subject to optimization strategies including re-drilling some of its wells, offering encouraging production response. At press time, additional drilling is on hold.

Drilling at the Joslyn project had to be started at a slant because the reservoir is so shallow.
Joslyn In 2004, the Joslyn SAGD project was a 600-barrel-per-day pilot owned by an oilsands junior. It was an in situ project with a promising future, as evidenced by the 2005 purchase of Deer Creek Energy by one of the largest energy companies in the world, Total S.A. Ultimately, plans were to include both mining and SAGD, but in 2010 the future of the SAGD portion is uncertain. After a well blowout in 2006 and imposed reservoir pressure caps, production never reached close to anticipated capacity. In late 2009, Total received approval from the Energy Resources Conservation Board to suspend production. In early 2010, the company is expected to announce its final plans for the in situ project, while it maintains the proposed mining portion in its portfolio.

Petrobank says it started testing THAI in the oilsands to see how it performed in the most difficult oil.
Location: South Athabasca
Petrobank Energy and Resources’ Whitesands project pilots the company’s take on in situ combustion, toe to heel air injection (THAI). Since commencing operations in 2006, the project has experienced issues with sand control, but the company is addressing those with the addition of different well liners. At last report, the project was averaging 189 barrels of oil per day. Petrobank is expanding its THAI tests to conventional heavy oil projects at Dawson, near Peace River, and Sutton, Saskatchewan. In the oilsands, the company plans a commercial THAI project ultimately reaching 100,000 barrels per day.

Synthetic crude from Canadian Natural’s Horizon project hit the market in 2009.
Horizon
In building the Horizon project, Canadian Natural Resources acted as its own primary contractor. The company says that doing so has given it a core competency in executing large-scale projects from the ground up. Canadian Natural has announced that it plans to sanction the second phase of Horizon later in 2010.

upgraders
The Long Lake project is the only SAGD project to include an on-site upgrader.
Long Lake The Long Lake upgrader incorporates a couple of technologies both conventional and new to the oilsands industry, together known as the OrCrude process, a combination of gasification and hydrocracking. Interestingly, Long Lake is the first commercial application of gasification in Canada, where the heaviest portions of the barrel are burned to create a synthesis gas that replaces the need to purchase natural gas for operations.

Emerging players 20 companies looking to make their mark in the oilsands by Deborah Jaremko
Alberta Oilsands Early in 2010 Alberta Oilsands submitted its application to the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) for a new 4,500-barrel-per-day steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) project. Dubbed Clearwater West, the project site is located so close to the Fort McMurray airport that the company and the airport commission have entered into a gross overriding royalty, access, and cooperation agreement. The project would use stacked well pairs, with the lower pair employing lowpressure solvent co-injection, while the upper pair could potentially include electromagnetic heating.
1
Andora Energy Private junior Andora Energy, in which Calgary-based Pan Orient Energy holds a controlling stake, has approval from Alberta regulators for a 700-barrel-per-day, single well pair SAGD demonstration project in the Peace River region of the province. At the end of 2009, construction of all-season access into the Sawn Lake site was underway, while timing for equipment procurement, major project construction, and drilling of the well pair remained to be determined.
2
Athabasca Oil Sands Early stage junior Athabasca Oil Sands made news in 2009 when PetroChina entered into a $1.9-billion agreement to purchase a 60 per cent interest in two of its planned in situ oilsands projects. Under certain conditions such as to maintain an Alberta head office and to ensure that a majority of Canadians are in senior management, the Canadian government has approved the transaction under the Investment Canada Act. Commercial development of the two projects, Dover and MacKay River, is in early stages. Athabasca Oil Sands has also announced that it is going public.
3
BlackPearl Resources Led by the former management of heavy oil junior BlackRock Ventures, which was purchased by Shell in 2006, BlackPearl Resources has filed its application for a 600-barrel-per-day SAGD pilot project called Blackrod, located in the south Athabasca region. In the third quarter of 2009, the company commenced road construction and completed the steam generator for the project. Upon regulatory approval, BlackPearl anticipates first steam in early 2011. It says the project could eventually produce up to 40,000 barrels per day.
4
Enerplus Resources Fund In addition to a minority equity share in another emerging oilsands player, Laricina Energy, Enerplus Resources Fund is the owner of the proposed Kirby SAGD project. Enerplus has filed an application for the first 10,000-barrel-per-day phase at Kirby, but in spring 2009 announced it was deferring the project due to cost structures, the commodity price environment, and cost of capital. It continues to seek approval for Kirby, and says it will revisit the potential installation as circumstances warrant.
5
E-T Energy Just next to Fort McMurray, E-T Energy is testing a technology called electrothermal dynamic stripping, an in situ production method that would minimize natural gas and water use. The company plans a 10,000-barrel-per-day project at the site that could commence production in 2011, while in the meantime it continues its testing.
6
Excelsior Energy In 2009 Excelsior Energy submitted its application for a 1,000-barrel-per-day pilot of an in situ combustion technology called combustion overhead gravity drainage at Hangingstone, in the south Athabasca region. The company reports the application is moving through the regulatory process on track for approval in late 2010. In late 2009 Excelsior announced it had engaged CIBC World Markets in a process to identify a major jointventure partner for Hangingstone project development.
7
Grizzly Oil Sands Led by chief executive officer John Pearce, former director of business development, thermal heavy oil for Devon Canada, Grizzly Oil Sands plans to submit to Alberta regulators an application for its 10,000-barrel-per-day Algar Lake SAGD project in early 2010. In October 2009 Grizzly also purchased a 40 per cent interest in Patch International, a financially troubled oilsands junior with a proposed 10,000-barrel-perday SAGD project at Ells River. Both projects are in the south Athabasca region.
8
North West Upgrading Proposed merchant upgrader proponent North West Upgrading received encouragement in 2009 and early 2010. The Government of Alberta continues to express

industry
and formalize its commitment to processing bitumen as royalties within the province, and North West has made a number of commercial agreements to enhance its project, including agreements to use captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. A significant agreement was announced in early 2010, with the notice that Canadian Natural Resources will join with North West as a 50/50 partner in the upgrader. Under the agreement, which is expected to close in 2010, Canadian Natural would also provide feedstock to the facility. To qualify for the royalty bitumen, North West would have to have two 50,000-barrel-per-day phases up and running by 2011. Ivanhoe Energy Just north of Fort McMurray, Ivanhoe Energy is planning the first application of its “small-scale” upgrading technology integrated with a SAGD project. Ivanhoe obtained the oilsands leases from Talisman Energy in 2008, and has reported successful processing of oilsands bitumen at its upgrading test facility in Bakersfield, California. The company plans to submit its regulatory application for the first 20,000-barrel-per-day phase at Tamarack in 2010, with first bitumen production in late 2013 and first upgraded product a few months after.
10
Koch Exploration Canada In June 2009 the Canadian subsidiary of Kansas-based Koch Industries filed an application with Alberta’s regulators for a 10,000-barrel-per-day SAGD project called Gemini in the Cold Lake region of the province. The company reports that it is conducting detailed engineering and community consultation.
11
Korea National Oil Corporation In early 2010 Korea National Oil Corporation received regulatory approval for the 10,000-barrel-per-day first phase of its Black Gold in situ oilsands project. The company purchased its oilsands leases in the south Athabasca region from Newmont Mining Corporation in 2006.
12
Laricina Energy Private junior Laricina Energy is steadily progressing two in situ production pilots in the south Athabasca region. Regulator approval is in hand for both. While the Germain project targets bitumen in sand, the Saleski project targets bitumen locked in carbonates. Successful continued production of carbonate bitumen has yet to be achieved by Canadian operators, but Laricina is confident it has the technology advantage to do just that. First steam at the Saleski project is anticipated by the end of 2010, while at Germain operations are expected to commence in 2012.
13
Oilsands Quest After discovering substantial bitumen resources in northwestern Saskatchewan, beyond the borders of what was previously considered the end of the Athabasca oilsands deposit, Oilsands Quest is now working towards proving commercial production. It is testing a “bottom-up” recovery process, a reconfiguration of SAGD that would allow for lower pressures in the reservoir. In addition to its work in Saskatchewan, Oilsands Quest continues oilsands exploration at its Alberta assets.

Osum Oil Sands In early 2010, private junior Osum Oil Sands submitted its regulatory application for the Taiga in situ project in the Cold Lake region. The project, which could produce up to 35,000 barrels per day, would be a combination of SAGD and cyclic steam stimulation. Upon receiving regulatory approval, operations at Taiga are expected to commence in 2014.
15
Pengrowth Energy Trust Diverse oil and gas producer Pengrowth Energy Trust’s major oilsands asset is located in the Cold Lake region, a proposed 2,500-barrel-per-day SAGD demonstration project called Lindbergh. The application has been filed, and the company anticipates approval in 2010. A Lindbergh pilot is expected to be in operation in 2012, with commercial production pegged for 2016. Pengrowth says that based on its current recovery modelling, in the future Lindbergh could equal about 40 per cent of its current proved and probable reserves.
16
Sunshine Oilsands With a number of potential oilsands development assets, in early 2010 Sunshine Oilsands received regulatory approval for a 1,080-barrel-per-day primary recovery scheme at Muskwa. Late in 2009 the company also received regulatory approval for a single well CSS pilot in the Grosmont carbonates at Harper, in the south Athabasca region. Based on all of its oilsands acreage, Sunshine believes it can eventually achieve up to 180,000 barrels of bitumen production per day.
17
Southern Pacific Resource In 2009 oilsands junior Southern Pacific Resource boosted its profile substantially with the purchase of the Senlac SAGD project in Saskatchewan. Senlac, previously owned by EnCana, has been operating since 1997, making it one of the oldest SAGD pilots in existence. Now able to boast production and the ability to gain operational experience, Southern Pacific continues to progress its planned 12,000-barrel-per-day MacKay project in the north Athabasca region. Upon receiving regulatory approval, construction is expected to begin in 2010.
18
UTS Energy In addition to its 20 per cent interest in the now Suncor Energy– led Fort Hills mining project, which has regulatory approval and is now being integrated into Suncor’s development portfolio, UTS Energy has two of its own planned mining assets. In a 50/50 partnership with Teck Resources (which also shares a 20 per cent in Fort Hills), UTS plans Equinox and Frontier. Both are in preliminary stages of development.
19
Value Creation Group Value Creation Group has two major proposed oilsands projects—the BA Energy Heartland merchant upgrader in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, and the Terre de Grace project, an integrated in situ/upgrading project in the north Athabasca region. BA Energy, a subsidiary of Value Creation Group, went into creditor protection in 2008, but the owner is confident it will come out of this setback in the short term. As for the 10,000-barrel-per-day Terre de Grace project, the application has been filed and Value Creation is working on financing.

big soluTions Advantage Products’ latest top drive innovation promises to be a blockbuster By Graham Chandler

When they spot a need for a solution to an oil field problem and go to work on it, there’s no stopping Advantage Products Inc. Founded in 1997 by Jim Weber and partners, Advantage is comprised of ten guys with innovative and inquiring minds who have come up with one success after another in their small shop in SE Calgary. With at least a half-dozen hits already under their belt, the company says its latest— now under test in the field—may literally top them all. Advantage’s niche is designing and building creative products around the needs of progressive cavity, or PC, pump operators. One of the first was the TorqStopper—it redefined the concept of the flow-through torque anchor that prevents tubing and stator back off. “We identified the need when PC pumps first became adopted in the oil industry,” says Lynn Tessier, engineering advisor and one of the founding partners. “Because of the torque applied and the nature of the pump, vibration and torque could cause the tripping string to become unscrewed and [fall] down the hole. The TorqStopper basically prevents that from happening.” Thousands have now been in service for years; they’re used by over 80% of heavy oil producers in western Canada. Tessier says they’ve sold “around 25,000” of them all over the world.

“The only problem we can’T solve is The one we haven’T heard abouT yeT.” Jim Weber Follow-up successes include the PCP Stabilizer, a hydraulically energized tool that attaches to the top of the PC pump. It minimizes tubing wear caused by eccentric pump motion, by preventing the pump from moving. But it’s their new top drive motor that may well cap them all. “This motor is a big project,” says John Doyle, Advantage’s production manager and designer. “There are a lot of companies with a lot more people that aren’t able to develop a product like this.” It’s the first variable-speed permanent magnet motor designed for top drives. “You can adjust the speed just like a dimmer switch rheostat,” says Doyle. Using a permanent magnet motor is what makes all the difference. Tessier, who’s a mechanical engineer, explains. “There are two existing technologies. One is a hydraulic drive where you’ve got a motor driving a hydraulic pump, which powers a motor through a gearbox on top of the wellhead. The challenges with that are first of all the potential for leakage with high pressure hydraulics and secondly the maintenance costs.” “The other conventional drive tech-
nology uses a standard motor hanging on the side of the wellhead with a belt drive to a gearbox. The challenge with that is the belt drive and the issue with backspin in case the well trips.” Tessier says it was backspin that prompted him into designing something better. “There was a fatality here in Alberta where the operator shut the well off and it went into backspin, exploded and killed him.” After that he says mandatory braking legislation was adopted, which is now industry standard. With Advantage’s new motor, the braking system is purely electronic, says Tessier. Under normal circumstances the motor is the brake. “Because it’s a permanent magnet motor, if you spin it, it turns into a generator. Automatically as soon as you lose power it connects to a bank of load resistors which dissipate the energy.” He adds that should that system fail e.g. if a backhoe accidentally cuts the cables, then the motor itself is designed to backspin at over ten times its rated speed without coming apart. It’s efficient too. “It’s a direct drive so there are no drive belts or gears,” says Doyle. “It’s hooked up to a drive
that gives it an infinitely variable speed and its torque curve is almost flat. This motor is rated for a thousand foot-pounds continuous at 30 rpm.” Advantage has a prototype that has been running near Kindersley for some months now. “We’d like to run it for two or three months in total,” says Doyle. That’s where they discovered an unexpected bonus with the new motor: it’s quiet. “It’s the quietest motor out there,” says Doyle. “At 10 metres it’s just 60 decibels—quieter than a normal conversation. These low noise levels are proving more attractive than we had thought. Some people have issues with noise, especially where wells are close to residential areas.” It can be controlled remotely. And another safety factor is the motor’s round shape. “No cantilever like you have with traditional drives,” explains Doyle. “It has two lifting eyes; you just pick it up and drop it on. It’s dead simple.” Advantage is eyeing its use as a generator for remote locations too. “It has unique qualities that no other top drive has,” summarizes Doyle. “It’s going to revolutionize the industry.”

Emissions Yes, Canada’s oilsands operations are a growing source of greenhouse gas. But how do they compare with other parts of the world? by Jim Bentein

efending Alberta’s oilsands is about as popular as cheering on the Calgary Flames at an Edmonton Oilers home game. Sure it happens, but who pays any attention? But the Conference Board of Canada raised eyebrows—at least throughout Canada—with a report last January that said the oilsands industry should not be singled out as the main source of the country’s poor record on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The report recommends that a comprehensive climate change plan needs to strike a balance between energy producers and consumers— an argument long made by industry representatives. The report, Getting the Balance Right: The Oil Sands, Exporting and Sustainability, points out that oilsands production is only responsible for about five per cent of Canada’s GHG emissions. While this share will continue to grow as oilsands production doubles over the next decade, the Ottawa-based think tank stresses that GHG emissions from cars and light trucks in Canada far exceeds those from the oilsands. So how do GHG emissions from Canada’s oilsands operations stack up? “The increase in GHG emissions from that sector since 1990 is roughly equivalent to all emissions from the oilsands,” says Len Coad, director, environment, energy and transportation policy for the Conference Board and author of the report. (For a comparison to different countries, see accompanying graphics.)

The Conference Board estimates there are about 40 million tonnes of GHGs from the oilsands. Coad says Canada’s total GHG emissions now are about 750 million tonnes a year. “To put that in context, the oilsands…represent only about two per cent of the world’s GHG emissions,” he says. “In 2006 alone, the growth in emissions in China was 500 million tonnes.” Coad says the Conference Board isn’t arguing that oilsands operators shouldn’t strive to reduce emissions and environmental impact. For instance, in situ oilsands projects produce emissions that are about 25 to 30 per cent higher than oilsands mines because they use so much energy to produce steam for extraction. Roger Gibbins, chief executive officer of the Calgary-based Canada West Foundation, says the problem with most existing climate change plan proposals is that they target the energy industry and one part of the country: western Canada. Gibbins’ group recently released a report entitled Look Before You Leap, which argues that the entire nation’s Oilsands emissions have economy would suffer if Alberta’s come under global scrutiny as production has increased. energy industry were penalized. Western shift “Western Canada’s share of the gross domestic product is now 38 per cent, which is greater than Ontario’s GDP [at 36 per cent],” he says. “The centre of gravity is shifting west and those [in eastern Canada] who want to shut down the oilsands should be careful about what they wish for.” A leading environmental scientist with an organization that has been a persistent critic of oilsands development believes

instead it’s possible for oilsands developers and environmentalists to reach a consensus. Simon Dyer, oilsands program director with the Calgarybased Pembina Institute, says that even though his group is concerned about GHG emissions and other environmental issues from oilsands projects, it doesn’t believe in an either/or approach to addressing them. “The extreme view [coming from such groups as Greenpeace] is that we need to shut down the oilsands,” he says. “On the other hand, there are [business and other] groups that say there are no environmental concerns related to oilsands development. The truth is in the middle.” He said Pembina argues that future development needs to occur at a “more measured pace” and, in fact, the lack of clear GHG emission levels for the oilsands and the lack of strict reclamation standards and water use regulations is unfair to companies developing the oilsands. “Government oversight is happening on the back of a napkin and it puts industry in an unfair position,” he says. In particular, Dyer said the GHG management policies of the federal government leave the oil industry in a vulnerable position because the governments of the last decade or so have vacillated on what regulations will be. Under the federal Tory government’s Turning the Corner plan, Ottawa aimed at cutting emissions by 20 per cent below 2006 levels by 2020 and then by 60 per cent by 2050. However, Ottawa has since backed off on that plan, saying it will wait to see what regulations the United States implements.

The Alberta government, meanwhile, has a plan aimed at reducing GHGs by about 200 megatonnes by 2050. That would be equal to about a 14 per cent reduction below 2005 levels. The act, which applies to about 100 of the province’s largest emitters, including all oilsands plant operators, gives those emitters the option of either investing internally to reduce their emissions, buying carbon credits on the open market (a market now barely functioning in North America), or contributing to a technology fund the province has established to invest in technology aimed at reducing GHG emissions. That fund has raised about $140 million. Pembina and other green groups are critical of the levy set by the Alberta government for large emitters who choose to contribute to the fund, arguing that the $15 a tonne amount (equivalent to about $2.05 per barrel of crude) is too low. Dyer says: “We need GHG regulations that apply to all polluters. We’re not seeking special punitive measures that apply to the oilsands. All sectors must do their fair share.” Gibbins said Canadians must realize that “Albertans can’t carry the can” to reduce overall GHG emissions without putting the entire Canadian economy and Confederation at risk. He says recent discoveries of shale gas in Quebec, Ontario, and other eastern provinces may eventually help spread the benefits of energy development to other parts of the country, which would likely lead to less regional friction, as other Canadians experience the direct benefits of such development. Gibbins repeated arguments made in a paper his group released in December 2009, in which it attacked a study

The Silica Sorption Process effectively removes silica from SAGD produced water.
released in October by Pembina and the Vancouver-based David Suzuki Foundation. Is growth possible? That study, relying on assumptions made by prominent Vancouver-based environmental scientist Marc Jaccard, claimed that Canada’s economy would still grow by 20 per cent in the next decade even if stringent GHG output targets of 25 per cent below 1990 levels were established. Alberta would be required to reduce emissions by 45 per cent, with virtually all of those reductions affecting the energy sector. Gibbins, an economist, says most of the assumptions in that study would never pan out. For instance, the two green groups assume that the billions of dollars that would otherwise be invested in the energy sector would somehow shift elsewhere in the country. “You’d have to imagine ExxonMobil saying they were going to invest in the Alberta oilsands, but now they’ll just invest in the auto parts industry in Ontario,” he says. “Investment dollars are not like water that can just be swept from one area of a floor to another.” Gibbins said green groups like Suzuki and Pembina often argue that Canada can get the same bang for its investment buck by encouraging the development of renewable power sources. “But Canada is in a different situation than a small European country that imports all of its energy,” he says. “If that country encouraged [through subsidies] investments in renewables, the domestic economy benefits from not having to import as much energy. But Alberta couldn’t export solar and wind power if it developed more of it. As an exporter of energy it has little to gain.”

Taking aim Operators scramble to develop technologies to clean up the oilsandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toxic waste by Melanie Collison

ommercial oilsands operators first tackled the difficulties of turning northern Alberta’s vast gooey mess of tar, sand, and clay into fuel 30-some years ago, after decades of research and development. They thought the tough challenge in surfacemining bitumen deposits was finding an economically viable way to separate the usable hydrocarbon from the sand, clay, heavy metals, and water laced through the ore. Within a year, they recognized they had a whole other problem: the mounting volume of post-process water tainted by their water-based bitumen recovery processes. They’d expected the fine clay solids and other contaminants to settle out of the water, which would allow them to reuse it sooner rather than later. But in ponds built to contain the tailings and store water for recycling, the clay wasn’t settling out with the sand. Instead, residual oil coating the clay platelets kept them from sticking to each other and they hung suspended in the water. Ever since, government and industry scientists have been searching for mechanisms to make more of the clay fines settle, and at a faster rate. The goal is to transform the fines into dry stackable tailings, or trafficable deposits that have sufficient
Chemical processes aim to disrupt the hydrocarbon film coating the clay fines so they can coagulate. Physical processes either force the water out or optimize conditions for drainage and evaporation. Chemical and physical processes are usually used in combinations tailored to the application. In 2009 the Energy Resources Conservation Board brought in Directive 074: Tailings Performance Criteria and Requirements for Oil Sands Mining Schemes, which mandates an end to amassing tailings by 2013. It’s an extra spur to minimize the industry’s environmental impacts while optimizing extraction. Efforts continue to advance the state of the art of tailings management. But as one veteran researcher says, “It takes a long time to engineer even the simplest thing because of the magnitude of the oilsands.” Here’s a look at tailings technology: Consolidated/composite tailings Also known as non-segregating tailings, consolidated/composite tailings—simply known as CT to the industry—was pioneered in the mid-1990s. Additives such as gypsum or organic polymers are mixed into the mature fine tailings, along with coarse sand.
at tailings stability and firmness to support heavy equipment used to reclaim the land into boreal forest or fens. Mine operators are able to draw off and reuse about threequarters of the water. Still, 841 million cubic metres of lumpy tailings have been collected in ponds at six operators’ sites. Besides tying up water, the ponds block access to the 130 square kilometres of deposits they cover. The general practice is to allow the tailings to settle as much as they will naturally, then dredge what’s called “mature fine tails” and apply various chemical and physical processes to them.
These additives alter the chemical properties of the clay, allowing coagulation and evaporation to occur and giving enough strength to the mixture that the sand stays distributed throughout rather than sinking and settling into a separate layer. Additives, however, also change water chemistry. Because the water is reused, care must be taken not to alter it in any way that interferes with the extraction process, especially given the variability of bitumen chemistry within a deposit. One plus of mixing in an inorganic salt such as gypsum is that it adds calcium and works like a home water softener to bind certain materials out of the water.

Separating bitumen from the clay, sand, heavy metals, and water scrambled through it requires the addition of naphthenic acids. Naphthenic acids are a surfactant just like laundry soap, and that’s what is toxic to migrating birds in the tailings ponds. Calcium binds the naphthenic acids out of solution. In another version of the CT process, the operator infuses CO2 into the tailings slurry line on the way to the tailings ponds to speed settling and coagulation. CO2 has the advantage of being beneficial to the extraction process when the water is reused. POLYMER FLOCCULENT PLUS THIN LIFT/ATMOSPHERIC DRYING Organic compounds called anionic polyacrylamides have a proven track record in flocculating—coagulating—solids in a liquid. They’re used in processes such as waste water treatment, papermaking, and the production of gels for manufacturing soft contact lenses. In tailings treatment, a polymer flocculent is mixed throughout a batch of mature fine tails. The resulting goo is then spread in thin layers or lifts over a gently sloped landscape. Some water will drain out through gravity; the remainder evaporates out through repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. Within about a month—rather than the years it takes for CT to become dry stackable tailings—the material dries enough to become trafficable. The coagulated clay can then be scraped up and used in building or reclamation projects. This combination of processes speeds up drying and frees up coarse sand for competing uses, but the degree to which
polyacrylamides reduce the toxicity of released water is not yet known. MECHANICAL PLUS ATMOSPHERIC DRYING Like extra-large salad spinners, a bank of centrifuges each measuring one metre in diameter by three or four metres long can be used to spin the water out of mature fine tailings that have been mixed with a polyacrylamide flocculent. Centrifugal force can dry the mixture 200 times faster than gravity alone would. The resulting material is a clay cake that is spread out in layers to dry for a year through drainage and evaporation before it’s used to build landforms. The disadvantage is that while the mechanical process does greatly speed up drying, it comes with an energy cost. A second mechanical drying approach is to push the tailings slurry through a separating vessel that separates out and thickens the fine solids. The result is a soft clay with a consistency like paste, which, again, is spread out to dry through drainage plus evaporation. ACCELERATED DEWATERING/RIM DITCHING The newest dewatering technique, rim ditching, is not in fullscale use yet. In the same way you leave a gap between your meat loaf and the baking pan to make room for the fat to drain off while it’s cooking, oilsands operators are experimenting with digging a ditch around a batch of polyacrylamide-strengthened mature fine tails to make room for water to drain off. The water is then pumped off.

WATER CAPPING IN END-PIT LAKES If it’s not pumped out, any mine pit will gradually fill with water over time due to precipitation and surface drainage. When reclamation is the goal, research and engineering are employed to help the pit lake along in becoming a biologically self-sustaining naturalized lake. In oilsands reclamation, mature tailings and process-affected water are placed into a mined-out pit and covered with several metres of fresh water to start the immensely complex years-long process of maturing into a viable, fish-supporting ecosystem.
As a final piece of the landscape, an end-pit lake has to function the way an ever-changing natural pond or lake does. It has to contain good-quality water that can support every part of the food web from microalgae to fish and plants, and human uses. That requires mitigation of the naphthenic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the various salts that are part of the mining process. Long-term monitoring is necessary because the mature fine tailings continue to settle and release tainted water into the lake.
POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE The oilsands surface mining sector is so huge and the environmental sensitivities so important that independent researchers are working on technologies they believe could be a breakthrough for the major operators—if only they could get backing to mount a series of scaled-up tests. Here’s a quick look at three. 1. Cetco Oilfield Services of Houston and Red Deer, Alberta, describes its PitDry product as a powdered, inorganic mineral formula used for the solidification and stabilization of drill fluids that would work on mature fine tailings. The company says PitDry chemically fixes heavy-metal bearing wastes, stabilizes hydrocarbons and other organic and inorganic material, and reduces total solids volume by as much as 20 per cent. 2. Howard Keele of the Calgary-based company CBR has developed “convergent bitumen recovery.” The overburden is removed as in surface mining, but instead of digging up the ore for processing, the process mimics in situ mining by using vertical wells. The operator uses these wells to place explosives underground to blast the ore, then injects hot water and air to recreate underground the standard bitumen froth separation process. The bitumen is decanted off, leaving the waste in place and simplifying reclamation. 3. BluMakers, out of Sherwood Park, Alberta, uses an inclined plate settler, which chemical engineer Peter Crickmore has been advancing since the late 1970s, when he modified the concept to ensure good separation of froth components at Syncrude Canada. Adjustable during use to accommodate the constantly changing composition of tailings, his patented settling hardware recovers residual bitumen in process water. The settler is linked to chemical mixers in a treatment system he says eradicates the need for tailings ponds because it purifies the water enough to return to the Athabasca River.

of this multinational company as it takes this significant step, continuing its commitment to the oilsands despite concerns that have
been expressed over the development in its home country, Norway.
people
Does Statoil continue to see concern over its oilsands interests at home in Norway? Statoil has developed a set of values for our activities based on clear principles and guidelines for ethics, health, safety and environment, and governance. This set of values forms the foundation and the absolute framework for how we do our business. Every decision is scrutinized against our values and ethics. Our involvement in the oilsands has been evaluated as being in line with our values. This position has not changed since our entry into Alberta’s oilsands. Statoil acknowledges that oilsands development presents considerable challenges with regard to energy efficiency, CO2 emissions, water usage, and socio-economic impacts. But we believe that the industry will continually improve performance through technology development and increased know-how.
“Statoil has developed a set of values for our activities based on clear principles and guidelines for ethics, health, safety and environment, and governance...our involvement in the oilsands has been evaluated as being in line with our values.” What does Statoil bring to the oilsands industry as a multinational organization? Statoil is an international energy company present in 40 countries and has a daily production of 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. With a heritage from the Norwegian Continental Shelf, we have continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible through innovation and technology. We operate in some of the harshest environments from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic. We bring this expertise and our desire to contribute and share to the oilsands of Alberta.
What will Statoil be focusing on in the future at its oilsands projects? Statoil currently has no production from oilsands. We are working on establishing a SAGD demonstration plant [Leismer] with projected start-up in 2010 and a capacity of up to 20,000 barrels per day. Statoil’s future developments and the speed of development will be determined by the extent to which we and the industry are able to bring down costs and reduce environmental impacts.

It’s estimated that less than 10 per cent of Saskatchewan’s initial heavy oil in place is commercially recoverable using current technology. What is the province doing to spur implementation so that more can be recovered? Saskatchewan’s initial heavy oil in place is now estimated at 22.1 billion barrels—just over half of our total [light, medium, and heavy] oil in place. A five-percentage-point increase in recovery rates would mean an addition of 1.1 billion barrels to Saskatchewan’s heavy oil reserves. Clearly, this is a priority for us. We’re moving forward on two main fronts: fiscal and technological. We have paid particular attention to our royalty regime for heavy oil, ensuring it is competitive and stable. No surprises. No ground shifting under your feet. A lower royalty regime specific to enhanced oil recovery [EOR] projects is in place, and there are currently nine different EOR projects running in Saskatchewan’s heavy-oil patch. The

Saskatchewan Petroleum Research Incentive is also in place to promote research, development, and demonstration of new technologies. On the technological front, continuous improvements have been made over the years including horizontal well drilling; new equipment such as progressive cavity pumps; and enhanced recovery techniques such as steam flooding, steam assisted gravity drainage, and vapour extraction. We are also excited about the potential of toe to heel air injection [THAI], a new method that has shown considerable promise at a pilot project in the Kerrobert area. In addition, my ministry provides ongoing support to the Petroleum Technology Research Centre [PTRC] at Innovation Place in Regina. PTRC is working on a range of technologies to further enhance oil recovery, including heavy oil. How is Saskatchewan dealing with environmental challenges associated with energy production?

the environment and maintaining a positive climate for growth. I think we’ve had some success. For example, Canada’s first commercial CO2 EOR project is in operation in Saskatchewan’s Weyburn oil pool. This is also the site of the world’s largest international field research project to study the geological storage of CO2. There is also a second CO2 EOR project underway in the Midale oil pool. Saskatchewan has signed a memorandum of understanding with Montana for what would be one of the largest international carbon capture and storage [CCS] demonstration projects in the world. Saskatchewan is now a recognized world leader in CCS. Other examples of greening up our fossil fuel production include the Saskatchewan Orphan Well and Facility Liability Management Program, and implementation of regulatory provisions to enable better protection of property, the environment, and public safety. In addition, Saskatchewan has introduced legislation to address greenhouse gas emissions. Your own riding is in an oil-producing region of Saskatchewan.

area of west-central Saskatchewan, and the Kindersley-Kerrobert area just down the road from Lloydminster. Kindersley-Kerrobert also has the Viking light oil pools—an area of great interest of late—as well as some small, shallow natural gas pools. In addition, the THAI project referenced earlier is in this part of the province. It has been my privilege to represent the people in the Kindersley area for some years now, and to see the positive impact the oil and gas industry has had. Keep in mind oil and gas has surpassed agriculture as the largest single contributor to Saskatchewan’s gross domestic product. I see clear evidence of that at home, with the growth that’s taking place. What especially pleases me is seeing young men and women finding jobs and pursuing their careers in and around Kindersley, building their future here in Saskatchewan rather than looking elsewhere. According to Statistics Canada, the oil and gas sector offers the highest paying jobs in the province, so in that sense it’s not a difficult decision to make. Saskatchewan’s population has now increased for 14 consecutive quarters and is at its highest level ever. That includes growth in my part of the province, and it’s due in no small part to the great performance of the oilpatch in recent years.

Your company is the largest transporter of Canadian oilsands crude to its U.S. markets. What do you see in the future for demand? The United States is the largest energy consumer in the world and continues to be reliant on imported crude to satisfy its needs. Enbridge is the largest single source of crude oil to the United States, representing about 10 per cent of total U.S. imports. With security of supply taking on an even greater profile in the United States, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative export position is expected to strengthen. In fact, U.S. demand for Canadian crude is increasing now as it is displacing supply that is either in natural decline or that is sourced from unreliable producers. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oilsands, one of the largest oil reserves in the world, are becoming an increasingly prominent source of supply. Global demand for crude oil is expected to resume its growth trajectory given the strength in emerging markets, while North American demand for crude oil in the next few years is expected to remain relatively

flat. Nevertheless, there remain meaningful growth opportunities for Canadian crude oil into existing and new markets in the United States as refiners look to increase and diversify their sources of crude. Enbridge is expanding our existing pipelines and planning the development of new pipeline projects such as our Northern Gateway pipeline, which would provide access to Asian markets and the U.S. west coast. In addition, increased demand for condensate by heavy oil producers in western Canada is being answered by Enbridge’s Southern Lights condensate pipeline, which will be in service in mid-2010, delivering condensate from the U.S. refineries to Alberta. You’ve spoken out about a disconnect between the public view of oilsands development versus their everyday lives. Explain. It’s not just about oilsands, although oilsands development is certainly a focal point for opposition these days. It’s about all energy development. Consumers today are largely blind to the connection that exists between their gas pedal, light switch, or thermostat and the oilsands, or coal-fired generation stations, or nuclear power plants, or hydroelectric facilities.
And if they are blind to those direct connections, they are doubly so to the huge positive indirect impact the energy industry has on society, including jobs, productivity, tax and royalty revenue, and the economy. Gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, electricity—this energy doesn’t just materialize at the gas station and arrive at the burner in your furnace or come out of your wall sockets. This energy—every British thermal unit, joule, and kilowatt—has to be found, refined, generated, and transported, but the public is increasingly opposed to that part of our energy system. As an industry we need to do a far better job of balancing the discussion. We need to help re-establish the connection in the public’s mind between the energy they need and the infrastructure that brings it to them. What makes you continue to be part of this industry? After many years in the energy industry, I can honestly say we’re in one of the most exciting phases of growth since our predecessor company, Interprovincial Pipe Line Company, was formed 60 years ago to build the first crude oil pipeline connecting the rich resources of Alberta to eastern markets.
While much of Enbridge’s recent growth has focused on expansion of our crude oil systems, we are aggressively pursuing opportunities to grow our green energy businesses through investments in wind, solar, fuel cells, and waste heat facilities. We’re also leading carbon sequestration initiatives to advance this technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It’s exciting to be an active participant in society’s shift to a more environmentally sustainable future. We at Enbridge have outlined our own commitment to environmental sustainability by setting a new and ambitious goal: to move towards a neutral environmental footprint from our operations. I believe our primary responsibility is to deliver energy to people, and I take great personal pride in a new not-for-profit foundation Enbridge launched in 2009. Energy4everyone will work with other organizations to deliver affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to areas in the world that do not have it. The foundation is involved in two projects right now, and it’s tremendously gratifying to start to see the positive impact of our efforts. It’s because of all of these things—growing our current business, building for the future, and delivering on our corporate responsibility—that keeps me excited about being part of this industry.

Cenovus describes its bitumen projects as “enhanced oil projects” rather than oilsands projects. Explain your thinking behind this shift in terminology. The term “enhanced oil” is a fitting description for all of Cenovus Energy’s major oil properties since we use a variety of enhanced oil recovery methods. Oil is produced at Foster Creek and Christina Lake using steam assisted gravity drainage [SAGD], Weyburn uses a CO2 flood and Pelican Lake uses a polymer flood. In each of these operations, we recover oil by drilling wells and injecting a substance into the ground to enhance production. As new conventional, light oil pools become increasingly more difficult to find, enhanced oil production will become the predominant technique of the future since it enables producers to recover the more difficult-to-extract oil. At Cenovus, we are constantly looking for new ways to increase oil production while reducing our impact on the environment and will continue to introduce new enhanced oil techniques into our operations.
What role should leading companies such as Cenovus play in helping to defend or repair the oilsands sector’s image? There is currently a lot of misunderstanding in the public domain regarding the impact of oilsands development. It is up to companies, governments, and industry associations to ensure that the facts get effectively communicated. Transparency is the key to winning the public’s trust. As companies such as Cenovus spend more time communicating about our operations and environmental initiatives, the understanding of our impact will improve and the misconceptions will start to diminish. At Cenovus, we’ve already made major improvements with respect to emissions reduction as well as water and land use. We recognize that there is more work to do in terms of further reducing our environmental impact as well as communicating about the advancements. Responsible development is about achieving the right balance between environmental performance, economic development of resources, and social well-being. When that balance is achieved, everyone stands to benefit.
Cenovus uses SAGD (instead of mining) to exploit its bitumen resources. What other new, in situ technologies beyond SAGD are you most excited about? Cenovus operates the industry’s first commercial SAGD facility at Foster Creek [jointly owned by ConocoPhillips] and we are a leader in the development of SAGD production. After a decade of commercial operation, Foster Creek has produced 100 million barrels of oil. The facility is currently producing about 100,000 barrels of oil per day, and that number is expected to double over the next few years. SAGD is still a relatively new technology though, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve it. Cenovus has about 50 research and development projects currently underway. This commitment to constant improvement has resulted in the development of technologies that further reduce our steam-to-oil ratio, thus improving economics and emissions intensity. For example, wedge wells allow us to reach oil that would have been stranded without additional steam. We are also advancing a solvent-aided process by injecting butane along with steam. Blowdown re-boilers and electric submersible pumps are other examples of innovations that are providing Cenovus with great results.

“Talk is not enough—we need to see real action on the ground. Greenpeace and other environmental organizations, First Nations, and other civil society groups have been meeting with industry about the problems associated with tar sands destruction for well over a decade to no avail.” What is your vision of a future without the oilsands? My vision is one that countless Canadians and people around the world share. It’s one that sees us move away from dirty, dangerous, and destructive industries like the tar sands and towards building the green economy of the future. It’s one that sees us creating hundreds of thousands of green jobs right across this province and this country. It’s a future where we power our energy grids with sources like solar, wind, and geothermal, where we re-localize our communities and food supplies, and where we revolutionize our transportation systems by moving to low-carbon vehicles and mass transit. It’s a vision that supports communities rather than poisoning them, that respects treaty and aboriginal title, and that leaves the world healthier for future generations.
During recent protests at oilsands sites, Greenpeace refused to sit down and talk to the owner companies about the issues. Why? Greenpeace is always open to dialogue—the work that we do is by nature meant to drive solutions and dialogue is an essential part of that. Contrary to some reports, we did engage in dialogue with the owner companies during our actions last fall. What we weren’t willing to do was end our protests while that dialogue took place. Until companies take concrete steps to address the serious problems with tar sands development, we will continue our campaign. That doesn’t mean we’re not willing to talk. What it means is that talk is not enough—we need to see real action on the ground. Greenpeace and other environmental organizations, First Nations, and other civil society groups have been meeting with industry about the problems associated with
tar sands destruction for well over a decade to no avail. Tar sands development continues to move forward at a breakneck speed, with very few safeguards or regulations in place, far outstripping the ability of communities to even build the infrastructure needed to support them. So while we’re always willing to work with companies to transition away from the tar sands and toward a green energy economy, we will continue our campaign work until we see that transition start to happen in a meaningful and genuine way. Why do you use the term tar sands rather than oilsands? Because what is being ripped out of the ground isn’t oil—it is a very viscous substance much closer to tar than something that you could put in your gas tank. Bitumen is the bottom of the barrel of petroleum products.

In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, how much worse is extraction from the oilsands versus conventional oil? The short answer is that there is not much difference. The direct life cycle analysis studies that were sponsored by Energy and Environment Solutions [formerly the Alberta Energy Research Institute] have demonstrated convincingly that there is a wide range of greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions for conventional oil depending on many factors, including reservoir conditions, production methods, crude quality, and product requirements. In general, U.S. domestic and imported heavy oil crudes have similar emissions as the oilsands crudes that are refined in the U.S. Compared to conventional oil, oilsands crudes have about 10 per cent higher GHG emissions. This difference disappears when we consider potential credit for cogeneration of heat and power, where some of the excess power generated using natural gas is transferred to the electric grid, thereby displacing coal-fired electricity.
If it takes 15 to 20 years before carbon capture and storage is a mature technology, what other areas of innovation can oilsands producers pursue now to make meaningful reductions in their GHG emissions? There are a variety of technology options that oilsands operators can [pursue] and are pursuing. The “low-hanging fruit” is increasing the energy efficiency of oilsands operations. We estimate that better heat integration between the reservoir and the facility in thermal recovery processes could reduce emissions by 20 to 25 per cent. Reduction in the energy intensity of recovery processes through the use of thermalsolvent hybrid technologies can not only reduce GHG emissions, but also the usage of water and natural gas. Thermal-solvent technologies are near-commercial and can reduce recovery GHG emissions by up to 50 per cent. The development of field upgrading technologies coupled with less energy-intensive refining processes also have significant potential in reducing overall emissions.
In the longer term, new-generation processes such as electric heating and gravitystable combustion will also provide less energyintensive alternatives to the use of steam assisted gravity drainage and cyclic steam stimulation. In reality, the implementation of the above technologies and carbon capture and storage will very much depend on the type of reservoirs, the geology, and the product requirements by the market. How can scientists make a bigger impact on national discussions about GHG emissions? I believe that it is critical that scientists remain true to the facts and are able to communicate to citizens and policy-makers in a manner that leads to understanding without oversimplification. To quote Einstein, “Tell it as simple as possible but not simpler.” In the final analysis, public support for balancing economic opportunity with environmental protection and social responsibility is the only true pathway to a sustainable future.
“There are a variety of technology options that oilsands operators can [pursue] and are pursuing.”

For more than two decades, the Canadian Heavy Oil Association (CHOA) has offered its members a close-knit technical,
H E AV Y O I L & O I L S A N D S G U I D E B O O K & D I R E C T O R Y V
educational, and social forum. But as the heavy oil and oilsands industry grows in production volumes and in public view, the association
has recognized a need to change in order to better support a larger presence both for its members and for the industry as a whole.
The CHOA is in a state of evolution. Why does it need to change? The CHOA was established over 20 years ago, and although we have experienced significant growth in membership, our business model and how we operate has not changed significantly. We are very fortunate to have a committed group of volunteers who donate their time for committee work, board meetings, technical conferences, social events, and a variety of other tasks, but in order to properly serve our members and allow for future growth, we need to change how we function as an organization. For example, under the current business model our board of directors only
people
has time to handle the day-to-day activities of the CHOA, leaving very little time for strategic planning. Our goal is to move from a working board to that of a governance model where the board activities shift from actually doing the work to focusing on prioritizing objectives and ensuring resources are in place to deliver those objectives. Some of the changes we have planned include revising the bylaws of the association, drafting a charter clearly defining roles and responsibilities within the organization, and searching for a full-time executive director. It’s exciting to be a part of the changes currently underway, and I’m convinced the new business model will insure sustainability of the CHOA and better decision making for the allocation of our resources. How will the CHOA become more of an advocacy group while maintaining its roots as a technical and networking organization? The CHOA’s roots as a technical and networking organization will never change. These are core values of the association. The challenge is to consider what other roles the CHOA can fulfill, particularly regarding advocacy and
communication. We are increasingly being asked to act as an educator and to supply information to external interest groups. The CHOA is somewhat unique in that our association is a membership of individuals. There are no corporate members, and the diverse individual membership includes those working in environmental, regulatory, and research organizations. This allows the CHOA to represent a very unique perspective of the industry, able to provide unbiased information. We have not been very involved in this type of activity in the past simply because we have not had the structure and resources to do so. The CHOA strategic plan identifies the need to develop an external communications strategy as a priority. With the implementation of the new business model and addition of an executive director, we will have the resources to establish communication guidelines to define our position and communicate a clear, consistent message to external parties. Leaving aside what the CHOA wants to do for the future, what does it need to do for the future? Our roots as a technical organization and our support in the development and sharing of
new technologies are still the most important contribution we can make. There is a substantial amount of research being performed, and we can assist in the sharing of new technologies through our technical lunches, conferences, and various special events. Regarding communication, I think we need to take a more proactive approach presenting a clear, consistent message about the good things happening in our industry. This is far more effective than having to react to negative news or unfair public perceptions. Other strategic goals include looking at adding additional chapters to the CHOA as we did recently in Edmonton, continuing with student scholarships and implementing a sustainable financial model for the CHOA. Of course, for the near future we need to ensure a smooth transition to the board governance model and the implementation of the new executive director. This will be a major responsibility of mine as president of the CHOA for 2010/11. We have a lot to accomplish in the next few years, but it will be an exciting time to be involved in the heavy oil industry and the CHOA.
Saskatchewan is full of energy opportunity. We have 43.3 billion barrels of conventional oil in place and exciting potential in natural gas, the Bakken Formation, heavy oil and oil sands. We’re also on the leading edge of new research into enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide capture and storage. Come see what we have to offer, and explore your next big opportunity with us.

Why you need to know her:

Laura Lochman arrived in Calgary in June 2009 to take up her post as Consul General for Alberta, Saskatchewan,
H E AV Y O I L & O I L S A N D S G U I D E B O O K & D I R E C T O R Y V
and the Northwest Territories for a threeyear term. Lochman is a career American diplomat with over 20 years of experience

Alberta’s oilsands reserves represent a safe, secure, and long-term supply of oil for Americans. What work have you been doing to spread the word about the role that oilsands development can play in reducing U.S. reliance on “foreign” oil? Canada is clearly our most secure and reliable external source of energy in the world and will continue to be a pillar of U.S. energy security. Canada supplies over 18 per cent of U.S. oil imports and over 80 per cent of natural gas imports, and is our number one import source for electricity and uranium. Canada is a stable and reliable ally and the largest trading partner of the United States, with which we share the most successful bilateral trade agreement in the world. The U.S. does indeed seek to reduce our long-term reliance on oil. The administration is continuing to do this through conservation and energy efficiency measures, such as the recently increased vehicle efficiency standards, as well as through the pursuit of comprehensive climate legislation and an
people
ambitious global agreement on climate change to include substantial emissions reductions for both the U.S. and Canada. But we have to keep in mind that even as we transition to a less carbon-intensive economy, for the next several decades at least, oil and gas are going to remain a significant part of the energy mix. And the supply of oil and gas to the U.S. economy will remain a primary national security concern. We in the consulate feed into the U.S. government policy-making process by reporting how the oilsands are being developed, what is being done to increase the efficiency of the industry, and the views of the many stakeholder groups involved. Canadians and Americans have the closest energy relationship in the world. What challenges do you see in maintaining that relationship? We are truly a North American energy market. New technology is allowing even more of western Canada’s oilsands and unconventional gas to become economically viable and available to the North American market. Canadian and U.S. engineers are working on new pipelines, including the recently approved Alberta Clipper, which
will carry oil from Alberta through Saskatchewan to the U.S. And our regulators have close and cooperative relations. This close partnership on energy requires an equally close partnership on the environment. Together we face environmental challenges and must make difficult choices as we seek to develop clean technologies to reduce carbon emissions. Our two countries must share the results of our research, development, and innovation in order to protect our environment and to meet our energy needs. This is exactly what the Canada-U.S. Clean Energy Dialogue—initiated by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper in February 2009—is all about. The dialogue is a mechanism for working together to develop additional technology to reduce the impact of burning coal and processing bitumen. That includes efforts to expand clean energy research and development, build a clean and renewable electricity grid, and develop and deploy new technologies. This type of collaboration will allow us to find solutions that are both environmentally effective and economically sustainable. Canada received several “fossil awards” during last year’s Copenhagen climate change talks because of our oilsands

developments. What’s your opinion on this and was it deserved? We recognize that there are significant environmental challenges related to oilsands development. We are aware of the progress already made to address some of those impacts, and are encouraged by new investments aimed at further increasing the efficiency and sustainability of the industry. Improvement is necessary, and this administration is committed to partnering with our Canadian counterparts to work towards our joint environmental goals. On the topic of climate change, the U.S. administration believes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are best addressed through each country’s robust domestic policies supported by a strong international agreement. In that regard, we rely on Canada to be a steward of its own climate change targets. The U.S. administration will continue cooperating with Canada through the Canada-U.S. Clean Energy Dialogue, the pursuit of comprehensive climate legislation, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and other processes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while securing reliable energy supply for the whole North American continent—something to which Canada contributes mightily.

people
What makes you personally want to be part of the oilsands industry? I like the fact that is still an emerging industry from the in situ perspective. There are fascinating developments that have occurred and will occur as our industry perfects the science of in situ extraction. That makes it very interesting. I also know that the success or failure of the oilsands will have a big effect on my province and ultimately my children. I would like to say I contributed in some small way to the success of the oilsands to provide wealth to Albertans and Canadians in an environmentally responsible manner.
What is your message to those who say that the oilsands of the future will be dominated by mega-players? I say hogwash! Just as the conventional oil and gas industry was dominated by “mega-players” 25 years ago, smaller players ultimately will play a role in developing these resources as well. Smaller companies can move their projects forward faster, from a regulatory, financial, and execution standpoint. They can exploit areas that a larger company may have overlooked. They have the ability to attract and retain top entrepreneurial expertise who want to make a direct impact on their company. There will always be room for different sizes, as in any industry, and the food chain will also likely always be there.
What makes a junior oilsands producer successful? A junior oilsands producer must be careful, almost surgical with its capital. Cash flow is important, so getting to cash flow in the most efficient and effective way will look good to your shareholders. Avoid trying to be on the leading edge of technology. Don’t risk the company by using unproven technology; let the big guys figure that stuff out. Hire people who think outside the box, who can perform multiple roles, and who love a great challenge.

people
What are the biggest challenges facing PSAC and what’s being done to address them? The biggest challenge facing PSAC this year is the same as the last couple of years: persuading the myriad of engineering, construction, and service and supply companies involved in oilsands to join PSAC and create a stronger voice for all companies supporting oil and gas development. When PSAC was formed in 1981, oilsands development was largely in its infancy and thus PSAC represented a large crosssection of the oil service and supply industry. The accelerated growth in oilsands development in recent years has resulted in the emergence of scores of new suppliers that are not PSAC members. Why join? Whether it’s oilsands or conventional oil and gas, we share the same customers; operate under the same legislation and hazards; face the same challenges in terms of contracts, regulations, and manpower; and will reap the same rewards if we collectively better represent our sector. There’s strength in numbers. PSAC will continue to try and attract more member companies from the oilsands sector.
The entire energy industry seems to get painted with a broad brush when it comes to the environment. What can be done to change that? The oil industry has been under attack for one reason or another since the 1970s and the first OPEC-induced crude price spike. We’ve been charged with price-fixing, collusion, abusing human rights, supporting totalitarian governments, and suppressing non-hydrocarbon energy alternatives. Lack of respect or destroying the environment is the latest in a long list of crimes our industry has allegedly committed. What makes this remarkable is that hydrocarbon fuel is as essential to modern man as food, water, air, and shelter. Few can even imagine life without the conveniences that hydrocarbon fuels provide. The problem is that our industry has taken our importance for granted and let others lead the public debate. Our lack of participation has created a situation where Canadians can criticize oilsands development and high gasoline prices in the same sentence. We can fix that by recognizing the information vacuum that exists, and filling the void with intelligent education messages of our own.
What do you say to those who say there should be a moratorium on oilsands production in Alberta? I refer back to point two. There’s this huge disconnect between the intrinsic linkage between reliable and economical sources of fuel, economic prosperity, low taxes, and the ongoing development of the oilsands. Critics of the oilsands are not being honest when they say we can introduce a moratorium on oilsands development without hurting the economy. That’s just plain wrong. Continued oilsands development is essential for several reasons. First, every new project learns from what has gone before and incorpor ates new and more environmentally benign technologies and processes. We can’t just stop. Second, oilsands oil displaces “blood oil” from countries with no respect for human rights. Some support global terrorism. There are more problems in the world than industrial emissions. Third, oilsands development is one of the few sure economic winners Canada has in the 21st century. Quit expanding the oilsands and do what? The world has changed. All things considered, oilsands are a huge asset, not a liability.

The last few years have been a wild ride for the people of the oilsands city, also known as Fort McMurray, Alberta—a sudden overheated boom with a massive influx of people followed by an equally as sudden bust. And while that was all happening, the world was becoming increasingly aware of the environmental challenges associated with oilsands development, offering everything from constructive criticism all the way to outright and possibly undeserved attack. The price of oil has regained its strength, and project announcements are trickling back into the Fort McMurray region. But do the people who live in the community feel like it is ready for another wave of development? In January 2010, we went to Fort McMurray to find out what its residents think about the state of the industry, and of their community.
Sheldon Letcher Sixteen-year-old, grew up in Fort McMurray “[Living here] could be better, but it’s okay. There could be more carpooling, and the oilsands could cut down on pollution, stuff like that. There’s a lot of pollution, and a lot crises going on, like the birds a while ago. I think they could do a lot better. [But the industry] brings a lot of oil, it does a lot for the community. They help with downtown arenas, they help with the bridge, they just help with taxes and stuff like that.”

Nick (Nezar) Jomha Second-generation barber, grew up in Fort McMurray “With this slowdown now, things are coming back to normal. People are getting their jobs back, we’re catching up now. The infrastructure is going to catch up. I want to thank these big oil companies personally, because with them not allowing the [living-out allowance paid to workers not staying in camps], it gives us locals a little extra room to breathe and to hire people. Now with them hiring families to move into the community, to be a better community, because in the last decade from 2000 until 2008 we saw a lot of people who were single coming in here, had no respect for the city, had no respect for the community…. When the barrel went sky high, and the house prices went sky high, a lot of people wanted to cash in on their homes. A lot of the locals did manage to leave. And what did we replace them with? Guys that were single, making so much money they didn’t care. That was the bad part of the community. That’s what caused the drugs and all that stuff in the community. Now you look since this year and last year, 2009, you don’t hear too much [about] drugs, you don’t hear [about] shootings, you don’t hear about stabbings. The reason why, a lot of these people that had the money, that didn’t care, that wanted to do their thing with alcohol and drugs, suddenly they disappeared. It’s like any other business for them and they managed to flee away. But if there is going to be another boom, be guaranteed to be well prepared because it will happen again. It’s just supply and demand.”
Kimberly Desrosiers Moved to Fort McMurray in 2009 “I think it’s an alright place to live. I’ve only lived here for a while…. I’m from Ontario, and it’s a lot the same with the sand mines. I lived in the nickel belt and it’s all the same with the drama of getting laid off and all those things.”
Ruth Frankoeur Randy Edison Director, Fort McMurray Tourism “One of the things I noticed coming back, I was away for a year probably in the bottom of the slowdown, or the peak of the slowdown. I noticed a nice, comfortable adjustment. Traffic slowed some, I know there was some tremendous stress on the retail sector and service sectors here…notorious stories of line-ups and even going to places like Walmart and having to pick your goodies out of the boxes because they never had staff enough to get the things even on the shelves. I experienced that. That was my experience when I was here before, but this little correction gave some folks an opportunity to get back to a little more normalcy.… There’s more of a community, family feel to this community than the story that gets told. A lot of people say there’s no such thing as bad press. We just have to be prepared with the message.”
Moved from Ontario to Fort McMurray in 1994 “I was quite happy in Ontario. My conception [of Fort McMurray] was of the 1970s in college when people came out here to make money but there wasn’t a whole bunch to do. We wondered what kind of environment it was to bring kids into. I was just amazed at the fact that [the town] is so rich in arts and culture. I grew up in a small town. You can find [drugs and parties] in a population of 500 or 500,000, or you can look for the good stuff, and we have a lot of good stuff. If you’re bored, here it’s by choice. I choose to live here. I could live anywhere. It’s not just about the draw of the almighty dollar. It’s about quality of life. [But] do we need things? Of course we do.” H E AV Y O I L & O I L S A N D S G U I D E B O O K & D I R E C T O R Y V

Jim McDonald Retired 30-year Syncrude employee “A lot of people here are here for two years to make their money and leave, so it’s difficult in some aspects to say how the town is going to proceed. The things that surprise me are all the events that take place in this town and the volunteer turnout. It’s astronomical. That tells me the core of the Fort McMurray people are good folks that want to stay here and make a living and make a good town, but there’s a lot people passing through that don’t have that same respect.… The oilsands companies that come to Fort McMurray are not held accountable for anything to do with the city, i.e. the infrastructure, the roads…. They come, they take the oilsand, they make lots of money, then they get the hell out. As far as I’m concerned anybody that’s okayed for a big project now should buy into something like a new sewage treatment plant…. They should have to ante up 10 per cent of what they earn in this area and pay for some of this stuff so that the city can catch up.… Tar sand processing is not an easy way on the environment. However, the oil that’s sold abroad, the synthetic crude oil, is probably some of the best quality crude that a person could buy. But it’s difficult processing it to get it to that stage.”
Jon Tupper Director, Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce, running for presidency “We as a community sometimes can be our own worst enemy. We don’t go out and tell our story, we don’t go out to the polls and vote. We have one of

ince for municipal elections, and one of the lowest voter turnouts nationally for national elections. We had to ask ourselves, why is that? Rather than try to figure out the answers ourselves amongst a board of directors, we thought we’d go out and ask the citizenry. So we created the mycommunitymyvoice.com project to get citizens to tell us what they do feel about our region, what they feel the region should look like, and how do we get there. Once we know what people are thinking, once we can get inside their heads, we can then work to change both our image as a community and our perception within the community, and hopefully tell our story a little bit better, and hopefully see some better voter turnout.”
Natalie Hicks Intake coordinator, Fort McMurray Centre of Hope homeless drop-in centre “A lot of people come here and don’t do enough research, thinking the roads are paved with gold. We have a lot of people that come [to the Centre of Hope] that are very educated. It’s one of the highest homeless educated populations. A lot of people that work come here. We’re busy and getting busier.”

“Anywhere you go is as good as you want to make it. If you want to be up here and be miserable, so be it…. It’s been very good to me. The way they’re extracting the oil, there’s going to be some repercussions environmentally, but when you weigh everything out and what it does for the economy—there’s a lot of people that come from all over the country to come here and make a livelihood and make a life for themselves. You have to weigh out the options. The technology is there to do things more environmentally friendly, and I guess the government is pressuring the plants. They’ve already admitted they can do it more environmentally friendly. I think they are headed in that direction, really. That creates more work, so I’m all for it. I’d like to see them do it as environmentally friendly as they could, definitely. And I think a lot of the people feel the same way that even work in the oilsands.”

Just two years ago there were multiple bitumen upgraders planned for Alberta. But then the recession hit, and the heavy-light oil differential narrowed. Now there is just one upgrader under construction, another half-finished, and not a new one in near-term sight.

Alberta-based upgraders were once considered essential to the oilsands. Now their future is up in the air. by Gord Cope
S
ince the inception of commercial oilsands operations over 40 years ago, upgraders have been a central part of production. Bitumen, the tar-like substance that is separated from sand and silt, is considered low-quality crude. An upgrader converts bitumen into a high-quality, low-sulphur synthetic oil that commands a premium in the energy market. According to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, oilsands production surpassed 1.4 million barrels per day of bitumen in late 2009. There are five upgrader systems operating in Alberta: Suncor, with a capacity of 440,000 barrels per day; Syncrude, with a capacity of 407,000 barrels per day; Shell, with a capacity of 155,000 barrels per day; Opti/Nexen Long Lake, with a capacity of 72,000 barrels per day; and Canadian Natural Resources’ Horizon project, with a capacity of 135,000 barrels per day. Altogether, they have a capacity approaching 1.4 million barrels per day. Currently, they produce an average of 885,000 barrels per day. The difference between capacity and output is due to a number of factors. Some facilities have not reached full production, about 20 per cent of bitumen bottoms cannot be converted to synthetic crude, and all upgraders experience periodic scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns. Prior to 2008, there were plans over the next decade to add 1.4 million barrels per day of new upgrading capacity in Alberta. All of that changed in the global recession during the last two years, however. As crude oil demand and prices fell, over $100 billion in oilsands projects were cancelled or put on hold, including most proposed upgraders.
Now, as the recession recedes, companies are once again renewing investments in mining and in situ projects. But a return to building upgraders in Alberta is not a given, although the provincial government hopes its bitumen royalty-in-kind (BRIK) program will help boost “value-added” activities such as upgrading, refining, and petrochemical manufacturing. UPGRADING PROCESS Heavy oil and bitumen consist of large hydrocarbon molecules that contain proportionately more carbon atoms than hydrogen atoms. The upgrading process changes bitumen into lighter products by adding hydrogen atoms and/or removing carbon atoms. There are four methods to the process:
• Thermal conversion (or coking) removes excess carbon by
breaking apart the long, heavy bitumen molecules using heat. This is sometimes called “cracking” because large hydrocarbon molecules crack, or break down into smaller molecules.
• Catalytic conversion is another way to crack oil molecules
into smaller, refined hydrocarbons. Catalysts such as nickel/ molybdenum or cobalt/molybdenum encourage cracking. Sometimes high-pressure hydrogen is added during the process; this is called hydroprocessing.
• Distillation is a common industrial process that sorts liquids and gases into their component parts. •Hydrotreating removes sulphur, nitrogen, and other trace
metals. In this process, high pressures and temperatures reduce these chemical impurities using a catalyst in a hydrogen environment.

While oilsands companies use these processes in different ways, the end result is synthetic crude oil, which is sent to refineries for further processing into jet fuels, gasoline, and other petroleum products. The Opti-Nexen upgrader uses a different process. After treating, diluted bitumen is fed into the upgrader, consisting of
“People thought that it would be cheaper to build upgraders in the Gulf Coast, but now they are realizing the importance of dealing with CO2 when you are building an upgrader.” — Ian MacGregor, Chairman, North West Upgrading
a proprietary OrCrude unit, a gasifier, and a hydrocracker. This energy efficient technology uses asphaltene residue to produce virtually all of the fuel gas required to supply the companies’ commercial steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operation, a cogeneration facility, and the upgrader, as well as hydrogen to feed the hydrocracker. Conventional, stand-alone SAGD operations must purchase natural gas, typically their largest input cost, to generate steam for their wells. Similarly, many upgraders need to purchase natural gas
to form hydrogen. The end result of this unique configuration, the companies say, will be one of industry’s lowest operating costs. UPGRADER ECONOMICS Although the processes are expensive to build and operate, historically, upgraders have been economically viable because they capture the spread, or discount, between lower-value bitumen and higher-value light oil. Upgraders profit from that differential by turning heavy oil into light. Over the past two years, however, the price spread between the two grades of crude has narrowed due to higher demand for heavier crude from U.S. refineries, hurting profit margins for upgraders. In addition, in the four years leading up to 2008, capital costs for new projects rose by as much as 50 per cent. The price for the high-quality steel needed for coker linings rose dramatically, labour costs increased through competition for scarce skilled labour, and bottlenecks associated with moving materials to northern Alberta caused expensive delays. The unit price for a mine/upgrader project nudged above $100,000 per daily barrel. Operators took note of the escalations and began to seek less expensive alternatives. Some concluded that it was more capital efficient to mix bitumen with diluent and ship it south by pipeline to converted refineries in the United States than building new upgraders in Alberta. In late 2006, EnCana Corporation signed a deal with ConocoPhillips to swap half of its in situ oilsands operations at Foster Creek and Christina Lake for half shares in ConocoPhillips’s refineries in Illinois and Texas.

December 2007, BP and Husky Energy struck a $5.5-billion accord to split ownership of BP’s 155,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Toledo, Ohio, and Husky’s Sunrise in situ project. Oilsands royalty rates also changed. Prior to 2009, the royalty rate was one per cent to payout of construction costs, then 25 per cent. In 2007, when oil prices were high, the Alberta government under Premier Ed Stelmach commissioned a review of its oil and gas royalty regime. The report stated the province was not getting its fair share and recommended taking 20 per cent more. In early 2008, the Alberta government announced a change to the pre-payout oilsands royalty on new production. On Jan. 1, 2009, the pre-payout rate increased on a scale when the price of crude was over $55, rising to nine per cent at $120. ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURE The issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions also rose to prominence. Pressure to reduce GHG emissions is coming from several sources, including the public, legislators, and investors. Environmental groups in particular have focused on the oilsands as a prime culprit in the rise of GHGs. Protestors have targeted Alberta politicians and international petroleum companies that have invested in oilsands. In 2007, Alberta announced a climate change strategy based on emissions intensity. One hundred of the province’s largest emitters (those producing over 100,000 tonnes annually) were required to decrease their emissions intensity 12 per cent by Jan. 1, 2008, through offsets, sequestration, or technological
advances. Those who did not meet the target would be required to pay a levy of $15 per tonne into the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund. In Ottawa, the federal government’s Environment Canada department launched its climate change plan. After 2012, federal legislation dictates that oilsands operators must implement carbon capture and storage (CCS). Internationally, GHG legislation in the United States is likely to have the greatest impact on oilsands production. Many state jurisdictions are moving ahead with initiatives to reduce emissions, and several federal bills are now emerging in Congress. In 2007, Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act, which contained a section that barred federal agencies from buying synthetic fuels from non-conventional sources that had life cycle GHG emissions higher than conventional fuels. Various congressional and Senate bills called for stiff reductions in GHG emissions. But the recession turned out to be the nail in the coffin. Falling demand drove the price of crude from US$147 per barrel in the summer of 2008 to below US$40 by the end of that year. Suncor’s 340,000-barrel-per-day Fort Hills bitumen upgrader was placed under review. Statoil withdrew its 240,000-barrel-per-day upgrader from regulatory application. Construction of BA Energy’s 160,000-barrel-per-day Heartland upgrader was halted (although recent reports suggest British energy major BP and Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries are both interested in buying a majority stake in BA’s parent, Value Creation Inc.). The 150,000-barrel-per-day

merchant upgrader being developed by privately held North West Upgrading went into idle mode. Only Shell Canada’s 90,000-barrel-per-day expansion at its Fort Saskatchewan refinery remained under construction. BACK TO BASICS The future for upgraders may be less grim than current circumstances indicate, however. First, in an effort to promote upgrading and refining in the province, the provincial government announced its BRIK program to foster value-added oilsands development. Under the plan, the province would collect up to 75,000 barrels per day of its royalties in actual bitumen and provide it to an Alberta-based, value-added manufacturer, such as a merchant upgrader. The plan stipulates that an upgrader would have to have at least 100,000 barrels per day of raw bitumen capacity, and that the facility would have to start construction by 2016 and operate by 2018. The program would start in 2012 and the physical supply of bitumen would begin in the 2013–18 range. Successful candidates will be selected by May 31 of this year. Recently, the government revised its request for proposals to include those upgraders that would have started construction of 100,000 barrels per day of capacity by 2018. The revision helps give proposal proponents, such as North West, more time to arrange financing and construction. The company’s plans include three phases of 50,000 barrels per day of raw bitumen capacity (77,000 barrels per day in diluted bitumen). To
qualify, North West would now be required to have the first two phases operating by year-end 2018. North West’s project is the first one-step conversion of bitumen to fuel and feedstock (diesel and naphtha) that also incorporates a commercial-scale CCS system. It hopes to have the first phase of its upgrader on stream as early as 2013. It already has a joint-venture offer in place from Canadian Natural Resources Limited, in which the latter will acquire 50 per cent of North West’s assets and supply 12,500 barrels per day of bitumen. The merchant upgrader has raised about $400 million in financing so far, and hopes that a royalty bitumen agreement with the government will help secure the remaining financing for the multi-billion-dollar project. “It’s essential to secure a long-term feedstock supply,” says North West chairman Ian MacGregor. “If you can secure that, you can raise the money. I’m optimistic that we can supply a competitive proposal.” Secondly, the Alberta and federal governments have initiated ambitious CCS capital incentives to help reduce GHG emissions. The Alberta fund will grant almost $2 billion to capture and inject up to five million tonnes of carbon per year by 2015. It has already awarded significant funds to various plans associated with upgraders. Shell Canada will receive up to $745 million (plus another $120 million from the federal government) for its Quest project, which will see the Scotford oilsands upgrader near Fort Saskatchewan in central Alberta capture one million tonnes per day of CO2, transport it 10 kilometres, and inject it 2,300

The plan calls for pure CO2 to be captured at an Agrium fertilizer plant and later from North West’s facility, transport it along a 240-kilometre pipeline, and inject it into a mature oilfield near Clive, Alberta, for EOR. As a part of the CO2 capture component of ACTL, North West will receive approximately $100 million toward its $800-million gasification unit, which will produce around 3,500 tonnes per day of pure CO2 as a by-product from each of the three planned phases. “Upgrading one barrel of bitumen emits about 0.1 tonne of CO2,” says MacGregor. “The Enhance system is designed for up to 40,000 tonnes per day, so it can handle up to 400,000 tonnes per day of bitumen production. That will create oil with the lowest CO2 footprint in the world.” The rising costs of building an upgrader are also beginning to slacken. Recently, the Canadian Energy Research Institute reported a 15 per cent slide in capital costs and a 13 per cent decline in operating costs for oilsands investments in the last 12 months. The dip is due to a 50 per cent decline in the cost of steel and concrete, decreases in sector activity and falling engineering rates. In the United States, advances are being made in establishing a legislative framework to place a cost on carbon reduction. Senate
and congressional members are working on reconciling various proposals that would create a cap-and-trade system and promote CCS and renewable energy alternatives. The move would allow oilsands operators to price in the future cost of capturing carbon with more certainty, reducing the risk of building an upgrader. The upgrader community is also taking heart from Total’s announcement to enter public hearings for its proposed Fort Saskatchewan upgrading facility, part of its massive Joslyn mine project. The Energy Resources Conservation Board has set midMarch for the start of hearings on the 150,000-barrel-per-day facility. But recent news hasn’t been all good. Syncrude announced in late February it is scrapping plans for a new upgrader in the province. The company now intends to export a portion of new bitumen production to the United States. And yet, while the narrowed differential and opportunities in the States weigh towards extinction, proponents of Alberta-based upgrading remain hopeful that provincial incentives to promote secondary processing, along with North American carbon legislation, will lead to a new era of upgrader investment. “People thought that it would be cheaper to build upgraders in the Gulf Coast, but now they are realizing the importance of dealing with CO2 when you are building an upgrader,” says MacGregor. “Alberta is absolutely the best place in the world for that. The centre of gravity for upgraders and generating plants and a whole range of activity will be here. This is where we live. This is where we’ll build it. We’ll make it in the end.”

il companies have been tantalized for decades by the potential of Alberta’s bitumen carbonates. Like the lure of El Dorado, producers have made repeated attempts find the best extraction technologies to economically exploit the vast amounts of bitumen found in carbonate formations, with a new round of pilots once again aiming to unlock the prize. And what a prize it could be. The Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) estimates four bitumenbearing carbonate formations hold a combined total of nearly
nlocking Carbonates 101 The basic difference between oilsands and bitumen carbonates is the former is bitumen mixed with unconsolidated sand, which can be either mined or produced from wells. The latter, as the name implies, is bitumen in carbonate rock—both dense limestone and heavily karsted rock. (Karst is a type of topography that is formed over limestone, dolomite, or gypsum by dissolution, and is characterized by sinkholes and caves.) Grosmont bitumen is even heavier than the Athabasca bitumen and the reservoir is extremely variable, meaning that a single recovery method may not work throughout the formation. The bitumen is contained in a dual porosity system—both in the vugs (cavities or fractures) and in the rock matrix itself. The vugs could potentially be good news in that they could conceivably improve permeability once the viscosity of the bitumen is raised by heat or other means, but bad news if they serve as channels for steam to escape from the area of interest. In the karsted areas, these irregular cavities and tunnels are often the diameter of a man’s arm, and sometimes much larger. During drilling on some of the earlier pilots, the bit dropped by a few metres while passing through large karsts.

450 billion barrels of original oil in place. The Grosmont formation (318 billion barrels in place) underlies the western part of the Athabasca oilsands deposit and is situated east of the Peace River oilsands. Other bitumen resources within the carbonate trend (also called the “carbonate triangle”) are hosted within the Nisku formation (65 billion barrels in place), which also underlies the Athabasca deposit, as well as the Debolt and Shunda formations (65 billion barrels of oil in place), which underlie the Peace River deposit. At this point, none are included in the province’s estimate of 170-plus billion barrels of recoverable bitumen reserves. The Grosmont carbonate platform extends in the subsurface over an area of 500 kilometres in length and 150 kilometres wide, and may represent the largest carbonate oil structure in the world. Cracking its development code will open up a new geological frontier for Alberta oil production. “I think it’s the next play in terms of significance from a provincial perspective because it adds potentially 100 billion barrels [of] recoverable [oil] to the inventory of opportunity that the province is looking [towards] for revenue,” says Glen Schmidt, president and chief executive officer of Laricina Energy, which is pushing ahead with a carbonate pilot in 2010. Laricina received regulatory approval last summer for its 1,800-barrel-per-day Saleski project, where it intends to use

horizontal drilling, steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), and solvents to recover bitumen. In the 1970s and ’80s, a handful of pilot tests on the bitumen carbonates yielded mixed results and were eventually terminated due to unfavourable economic conditions. The play was largely off industry’s radar until a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc paid about a half a billion dollars in 2006 to acquire leases targeting bitumen carbonates in the Nisku formation. Several companies have since trumpeted their stake in the carbonates, ranging from senior producer Husky Energy
“We want to get the design right,” says Schmidt, who notes production is planned for the first quarter of 2011. “We do want to learn what we need to learn, working with the reservoir and learning from it. Unsuccessful projects have made [us take] a greater leap of faith.” Late last year, Sunshine Oilsands announced it had also received ERCB approval to conduct a Grosmont carbonate pilot project. The Calgary-based company had requested approval to carry out a small-scale, under-1,000-barrel-per-day,

Inc. (which had been conducting an evaluation of Grosmont bitumen carbonate potential on its own lands prior to the Shell deal), to smaller entrants such as Alberta Oilsands Inc., Sunshine Oilsands Ltd., Osum Oil Sands Corp., and Laricina. And while Shell cancelled a pilot test in 2008, others companies are pursuing plans to find the best techniques to make the carbonate play work. In the Grosmont, the heterogeneity of the reservoir, the low effective permeabilities due to high bitumen saturation, and the high viscosity of the heavily biodegraded bitumen are the main hurdles in applying in situ recovery schemes, says the Alberta Geological Survey. So, the principal risk for companies pursuing the play is defining an efficient extraction technology. Laricina says laboratory testing of steam/solvent processes has shown significant recovery potential. The company has conducted about 20 separate lab studies and received Alberta government funding through its Innovative Energy Technologies Program. The company’s Saleski pilot will initially have two horizontal well pairs, with another pair added later. Wells will start on conventional SAGD, with solvents added a year into operation—a slow and steady progression that Schmidt likens to how a company would pursue a new conventional play.
single-well cyclical steam stimulation (CSS) pilot at 11-21-9524W4 (the company’s land base begins about 20 kilometres north of Shell’s oilsands leases in townships 95 to 98, ranges 23 to 25). The nearest urban centre, Chipewyan Lake, is about 40 kilometres southwest of the proposed pilot location, which has winter-only access. The pilot will allow Sunshine to analyze the bitumen and determine the correct approach for carbonate development— such as simulations of CSS versus SAGD, and horizontal versus vertical wells. Once the pilot data are available, Sunshine will repeat the simulation work with history matching and model validation, which will be used to model future development plans with more confidence. The company’s development proposal calls for 2,000 barrels per day from a commercial SAGD phase that would be on stream in 2014, followed by two 20,000-barrels-per-day phases, on stream in 2017 and 2020, respectively. Laricina, meanwhile, plans to submit a regulatory application for its first 10,000-barrel-per-day commercial phase at Saleski in 2010, with start-up pegged for 2013. Schmidt predicts the carbonates will become “an overnight success story 20 years in the making.” “We’re getting more and more confident as to the direction we’re going.”

Bringing upgrading to the reservoir
New in situ research centre opens at University of Calgary by Lynda Harrison

n situ upgrading of oilsands will be the focus of a new research facility consisting of nine “mini-refineries” at the University of Calgary. The bench-scale pilot units done there will enable Pedro Pereira Almao, director of the In Situ Energy Centre and professor in the university’s Schulich School of Engineering, and his team to test and optimize the best catalyst and upgrading process, in terms of efficient bitumen recovery, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. The idea behind the new centre is to inject a chemical catalyst in the form of nano-sized particles directly into the reservoir and ensure this nano-catalyst is thoroughly dispersed into complex oilsands deposits. In essence, the process enables the extraction and partial upgrading of the bitumen to take place underground.

Instruments such as a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging machine and mass spectrometers will be used to characterize the makeup of bitumen mixtures and develop a “next-generation” reservoir simulator in which to test non-catalysts with several different upgrading processes. The simulator will integrate the in situ upgrading process with geo-mechanics and reservoir simulation. Together, this infrastructure will create a worldclass facility for bitumen and reservoir characterization, says Pereira Almao. His team of U of C engineers, geoscientists, and chemists are aiming to have the technology field tested in two to three years. Upgrading the bitumen directly in the reservoir is expected to reduce the environmental footprint of in situ oilsands development. According to Pereira Almao, in situ upgrading will
significantly reduce consumption of natural gas, emissions from burning this gas, and the fresh water used by existing oilsands recovery and production methods. Several varieties of technology could emerge from the research done at the new facility, he says. At the heart of the idea is getting the nano-catalyst—particles as small as a virus or very large molecule—to where the heat is by migrating it with a fluid through the porous medium and generating certain reactions. “This is about one single target, which is bringing upgrading down in the reservoir, taking advantage of the heat already needed for mobilizing the bitumen, but there could be many technologies,” he says. “In fact, there could be as many technologies as companies, probably, because they have their own facilities, their own types of reservoirs, and they
research
are probably not all profitable with one technology, only one concept. “There may be suitable methods for example for upgrading integrated to cyclic steam stimulation, some integrated to the hybrid [steam assisted gravity drainage] in situ combustion, but those are processes of recovery that incorporate heat into the reservoir and that is the advantage we want to take, injecting the catalyst into the places where that heat is, inject some of the reactants, and then they have to be accommodated in a different geometry, configuration, order of incorporation.” It could open the door to a revolution of concepts, explains Pereira Almao. “If we are successful with at least one concept, I am sure many other researchers will find better catalysts, better concepts of incorporating them.” The oilsands areas are suitable for this technology because of the solidity of the bitumen that forms a type of wall that prevents the loss of the catalyst. The opening of the facility in February was attended by provincial politicians such as Alberta Environment Minister Rob Renner and federal government representatives such as Lee Richardson, member of parliament for Calgary Centre. “Cleaner energy development is no longer an option—it’s a necessity,” said Renner. “This new research facility will help to advance Alberta’s ongoing role as a responsible global energy supplier.” Soheil Asgarpour, president of Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada, was also there. The university’s research is going in the right direction and sounds promising, but more than one solution will be needed to bring sustainability to the oilsands, says Asgarpour, adding that equal consideration must be placed on the environmental footprint, profitability, economic prosperity, security of supply, and managing social impacts. The In Situ Energy Centre is a joint initiative led by the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy and the Schulich School of Engineering. It is being funded by the Alberta government, in addition to $9.3 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. Industry partners include Nexen, Repsol, Royal Dutch Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Total E&P Canada.

Heavy gains Companies pilot new tertiary technologies to improve conventional heavy oil recovery by Pat Roche
T
he Pelican Lake area of northern Alberta holds billions of barrels of heavy oil, but only a tiny percentage can be recovered through primary production. Secondary recovery—standard waterflooding—improves recovery factors by a few percentage points. But bigger gains will require tertiary recovery technology. Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus Energy believe a large portion of this vast prize can be extracted by polymer flooding, which simply means chemicals are used to thicken the injected water. Because of the difference between the viscosities of water and heavy oil, injected water tends to channel around heavy oil, leaving much of it in the reservoir. The polymer fluid roughly matches the mobility of the heavy oil and so is better able to push the oil out of the pores.
With 4.1 billion barrels of original oil in place, Canadian Natural’s Pelican Lake (also called Brintnell) may be Canada’s biggest testing ground for polymer-enhanced waterflooding. It began its first polymer pilot at Pelican Lake five years ago. Over the next 10 years, the company estimates it will spend more than $1 billion on the project, including wells, facilities, and purchases of polymer powder. More than one-third of its Pelican Lake property was slated to be under polymer flood by the end of 2009. Canadian Natural is developing Pelican Lake entirely with horizontal producers and injectors. The company ultimately expects to have at least 670 polymer injectors, plus roughly the same number of producers. So far, polymer and regular waterflooding and primary production have yielded over 130 million barrels of oil. While

Chemicals added to water create a polymer solution roughly matching the mobility of heavy oil, enhancing the fluid’s ability to flush crude out of the reservoir.
Canadian Natural expects to recover close to another 60 million barrels through primary production, it believes the biggest prize—about 400 million barrels—will come from polymer waterflooding, including future enhancements to the existing process, says Rob Richardson, Canadian Natural’s exploitation manager for Pelican Lake. In primary production, recovery factors ranged from 4 to 6.5 per cent. But in many areas on polymer flood it is possible
13 2
H E AV Y O I L & O I L S A N D S G U I D E B O O K & D I R E C T O R Y V
to recover more than 20 per cent, says Richardson. “So the response has been absolutely fantastic for us.” Cenovus, meanwhile, has a smaller polymer project at Pelican Lake. So far, only four per cent of the estimated 1.4 billion barrels of original Wabiskaw oil in place on the company’s lands has been recovered. More than 95 per cent is being considered for polymer flooding. Cenovus expects to recover six per cent of the original oil in place through primary production, 12 per cent through straight waterflooding and six per cent by polymer flooding—for an ultimate expected recovery factor of 24 per cent. In the case of both Canadian Natural and Cenovus, it’s too soon for polymer flooding to have much impact on daily production. The reservoir must first go through a fill-up process, replacing the voidage from primary production. Depending on the void that has to be filled, it can take up to two years to get a significant production increase, explains Canadian Natural’s Richardson. ASP pilot Mention heavy oil in western Canada and most people think of the heavy oil belt straddling the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. But Cenovus has about a billion barrels of original heavy oil in place in the Suffield area of southeastern Alberta, which is best known for shallow natural gas. Oil densities range from about 10 to 18 degrees API gravity, but the average is around 12.5 API. Viscosities are similar to
research
what the company calls an “organic,” surfactant. So the operator with the luxury of organic acids in the oil doesn’t need to buy as much surfactant. The pilot uses no fresh water, instead mixing its chemicals with saline water from a deep formation. Cenovus also reduced the cost and surface footprint by doing the pilot without watersoftening facilities. This was made possible by a chemical treatment called select ion sequestration, and also by polymer cutters, which slice the polymer grains to reduce hydration times. The company estimates an ASP flood may cost roughly 20 per cent more than a straight waterflood because of the chemical and facility costs. Cenovus will consider the pilot a commercial success if it recovers at least 10 per cent of the original oil in place. That’s in addition to 25 per cent primary and secondary recovery (i.e., the company will do a commercial ASP flood at Suffield if the pilot shows the technology can raise the ultimate recovery to 35 per cent). So far, the pilot is meeting that threshold, recovering an extra 10 per cent of the oil in place, says Brad Small, team lead for the company’s Medicine Hat oil business unit. Extrapolated to all the pools in Cenovus’s Suffield area, that 10 per cent would translate to an extra 100 million barrels of oil. “And you pretty much need a large OIP to do tertiary,” says Small, citing the cost and complexity of tertiary recovery projects and the need for extensive simulation and lab work beforehand.
the Lloydminster heavy oil belt, ranging from roughly 100 to 10,000 centipoise. Roughly 15 per cent of the oil in place has been produced on primary production and waterfloods. Ultimate recovery is expected to be as much as 25 per cent in some pools. So if only waterfloods are used, at least 75 per cent of the oil will be left in the ground after production ends. In other words, it’s a great place to test a new tertiary recovery technology, which is exactly what Cenovus is doing. The company’s alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) pilot is located on the Suffield military base. The test began in 2007 and will continue until 2011. So what’s the difference between an ASP flood and a straight polymer flood? In a polymer flood, polymer powder is mixed with injected water to produce a viscous fluid that will push more oil out of the pore spaces, improving sweep efficiency. Surfactant is essentially detergent. It reduces the interfacial tension between water and oil, mobilizing residual oil saturation and increasing the displacement efficiency. So besides the physical sweeping mechanism of a straight polymer flood, a surfactant polymer also washes oil from the rock in the same way dishwashing liquid helps to remove grease. Some floods add only a surfactant polymer to the injected water. But man-made surfactant chemicals are expensive. For its Suffield pilot Cenovus buys an alkaline chemical, which costs considerably less than surfactant. The alkaline injectant reacts with the organic acids in the oil to create a natural, or

More than 90 per cent of Alberta’s estimated 175 billion barrels of proven oilsands reserves consist of so-called in situ bitumen deposits that are too deep to be mined from the surface.
The expectation is that new in situ technologies, or variations and incremental improvements to SAGD, will lead to reduced water and natural gas use and lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional SAGD technology. Here’s a sampling of some recently announced technologies already being employed or proposed for testing:

Wedge Wells

eveloped by EnCana Corporation (now Cenovus Energy), wedge wells access stranded yet partially mobilized bitumen between SAGD well pairs. The process is now considered commercial at the company’s Foster Creek project, where the first commercial application of SAGD began in 2001. SAGD well pairs are drilled about 100 metres apart. After about two years of production, the steam chambers between pairs begin to commingle and eventually overlap. This leaves a wedge of unproduced oil between the pairs at the base of the reservoir. Wedge wells are single, horizontal wells drilled between two SAGD well pairs. And, since wedge wells require minimal steam to extract the remaining bitumen, Cenovus has been able to increase its bitumen production by about 500 barrels per day per wedge well while at the same time reducing per-barrel operating costs, water use, and environmental impact. The company plans to test the technology at its smaller Christina Lake project, where it will drill three or four wells before deciding to use it in commercial operations.

Most producers proposing in situ oilsands projects have opted to use steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). While SAGD isn’t the best recovery method for every reservoir, the technology has been proven on a large-scale commercial basis for about a decade. The process uses huge amounts of natural gas and water to make steam that is then injected into reservoirs to loosen the bitumen so it flows to production wells. And while several producers now use non-potable water, with much of that recycled, the amount of natural gas consumed is considered unsustainable in the long term.

n planning a pilot for its Hangingstone project, Excelsior Energy Limited has decided to forego SAGD in favour of a technology that has yet to be commercially proven in the oilsands. In a regulatory application filed in June 2009 with Alberta’s Energy Resources Conservation Board, Excelsior sets out plans to use a version of in situ combustion in its proposed experimental scheme. Like SAGD, in situ combustion uses heat to melt the bitumen so it will flow to production wells. But where SAGD uses injected steam to heat the reservoir, in situ combustion uses
Combustion Overhead Gravity Drainage
fire, injecting air to feed a flame front that consumes a small portion of the bitumen to mobilize nearby oil. Excelsior’s version of in situ combustion is called combustion overhead gravity drainage, or COGD. A well pattern, or “network,” would consist of a horizontal drain well completed low in the reservoir and an array of vertical air-injection wells positioned above the horizontal drain. Melted bitumen would flow with gravity down to the horizontal drain well. Vent wells would be drilled on the flanks of the combustion zone and observation wells would monitor temperature. Each well pattern would service a reservoir area of 150 by 500 metres. But why test an unproven method such as COGD when you could do SAGD? “Well, I think small companies should be good at processing risk and we think the potential is compelling,” says Robert Bailey, Excelsior’s vice-president of engineering. “We just think SAGD is going to be perceived as yesterday’s technology—too expensive, too much gas, too much water, too much diluent.”

enovus is also testing a solvent-aided process (SAP). The company calls it a “technological improvement” applied to SAGD operations that helps it maximize the amount of oil recovered. It takes the benefit of injecting steam in the SAGD process and combines it with solvents, such as butane, to help bring the oil to the surface. The company’s proposed in situ oilsands project at Narrows Lake, northwest of the Christina Lake project, will see the first commercial use of SAP. SAP is anticipated to improve recovery of deeper-lying bitumen deposits. In addition, it is expected to allow SAGD developers to use wider well spacing for a reduced environmental footprint. Research suggests SAP could also result in better-quality oil produced.
The application of solvents for bitumen recovery has received widespread industry interest as an additive to reduce steam requirements. Imperial Oil Limited, the company that patented SAGD, will test a solvent-assisted process at its massive Cold Lake holdings. (Ironically, SAGD isn’t considered an effective recovery method for most of Imperial’s Cold Lake holdings because the oilsands deposits in the Clearwater formation are interspersed with thin shale layers. As a result, Cold Lake—which is Canada’s biggest thermal oil project at roughly 140,000 barrels of bitumen a day—uses cyclic steam stimulation [CSS], which Imperial also invented.) While Imperial will continue to use CSS to develop the vast majority of its Cold Lake oilsands deposits, it is looking at other ways to develop oilsands deposits where CSS won’t work. For example, some of the as-of-yet undeveloped Cold Lake oilsands have top gas and bottom water. In such cases, the challenge is to minimize the amount of steam wasted in water and gas “thief zones.” CSS isn’t considered the ideal technology for oilsands with top gas and bottom water, or thinner pay, because of the degree of heat loss. However, Imperial believes solvent-assisted SAGD (SA-SAGD) may work in areas of the Cold Lake reservoir that are less amenable to CSS recovery. The SA-SAGD pilot is being built on the southwestern portion of the Cold Lake property not far from the Mahkeses plant. The solvent composition is

expected to be similar to the diluent used at Cold Lake, which is generally natural gas condensate. SA-SAGD is different from another technology Imperial has used at Cold Lake called LASER (which stands for liquid addition to steam for enhancing recovery), where a small amount of solvent is added to steam injected into CSS wells to boost bitumen recovery.
“I think you’ll see solvents as the next secondary scheme [for in situ recovery], the same way that you see waterflooding applied in conventional oil.” — Glen Schmidt, President and Chief Executive Officer, Laricina Energy, and Chairman, In Situ Oil Sands Alliance
Laricina Energy, which has been learning from the experience of EnCana and Imperial, also is convinced the use of solvents results in better overall economics—a higher recovery, reduced steam-to-oil ratio (SOR), lower capital and operating costs, and accelerated production.

The process is designed to demonstrate a minimum 10 per cent savings on the SOR required for extraction, with a potential saving of as much as 25 per cent. Statoil is collaborating on the project with Regina-based Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC). The SOLVE project will include—in addition to the field demonstration—a research program that will be integrated with the demo results to reach clear conclusions about specific factors influencing solvent loss, oil production, energy use, and water consumption. This is a unique approach to developing a new technology, bringing together a research consortium through the management of the PTRC. Research partners will include research councils and universities from both Saskatchewan and Alberta to help optimize the process for more widespread commercial use.

Glossary Heavy oil and oilsands lingo
API An American Petroleum Institute measure of liquid gravity. Water is 10 degrees API, and a typical light crude is from 35 to 40. Heavy oil is, by convention, typically from 9 to 11 degrees API, while bitumen is 7.5 to 8.5.
Coking An upgrading/refining process used to convert the heaviest fraction of bitumen into lighter hydrocarbons by rejecting carbon as coke. Coking can be either delayed coking (semi-batch) or fluid coking (continuous).
Aromatics Hydrocarbon species that occurs in unusually high concentrations in bitumen and some derived products.
Cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) CHOPS is a non-thermal primary heavy oil production method. Continuous production of sand improves the recovery of heavy oil from the reservoir. The simultaneous extraction of oil and sand during the cold production of heavy oil generates high-porosity channels termed “wormholes.” Wormholes grow in a threedimensional radial pattern within a certain layer of net pay zones, resulting in the development of a high permeability network in the reservoir, boosting oil recovery. In most cases, an artificial lift system is used to lift the oil with sand.
Asphaltenes The heaviest and most concentrated aromatic hydrocarbon fractions of bitumen. Banked cubic metres (BCM) A measurement of volume used to state the volume of in situ material moved during mining operations. Barrel The traditional measurement for crude oil volumes. One barrel equals 42 U.S. gallons (159 litres). There are 6.29 barrels in one cubic metre of oil. Bitumen Naturally occurring, viscous mixture of hydrocarbons that contains high levels of sulphur and nitrogen compounds. In its natural state, it is not recoverable at a commercial rate through a well because it is too thick to flow. Bitumen typically makes up about 10 per cent by weight of oilsand, but saturation varies. Bucket-wheel excavator Mining machine that uses toothed buckets mounted on the rim of a revolving wheel to scoop up oilsand and deposit it on a conveyor system. Catalyst Used in upgrading processes to assist cracking and other upgrading reactions. Coke Solid, black hydrocarbon which is left as a residue after the more valuable hydrocarbons have been removed from bitumen by heating the bitumen to high temperatures.

Cogeneration The simultaneous production of electricity and steam. Combustion overhead gravity drainage (COGD) COGD is a proprietary in situ combustion production technique that is planned for testing by Excelsior Energy. COGD utilizes an array of vertical air injector ignition wells above a horizontal production well. Upon ignition a combustion chamber develops above and along the length of the horizontal well with combustion gases segregated in the upper part of the reservoir and hot bitumen flowing by gravity into the horizontal production well. Condensate Mixture of extremely light hydrocarbons recoverable from gas reservoirs. Condensate is also referred to as a natural gas liquid, and is used as a diluent to reduce bitumen viscosity for pipeline transportation. Conventional crude oil Mixture mainly of pentane and heavier hydrocarbons recoverable at a well from an underground reservoir and liquid at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Unlike bitumen, it flows through a well
without stimulation and through a pipeline without processing or dilution. In Canada, conventional crude oil includes light, medium, and heavy crude oils, like those produced from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Crude oils containing more than 0.5 per cent of sulphur are considered “sour,” while crudes with less than 0.5 per cent are “sweet.” Cracking An upgrading/refining process for converting large, heavy molecules into smaller ones. Cracking processes include fluid cracking and hydrocracking. Cyclic steam stimulation For several weeks, high-pressure steam is injected into the formation to soften the oilsand before being pumped to the surface for separation. The pressure created in the underground environment causes formation cracks that help move the bitumen to producing wells. After a portion of the reservoir has been saturated, the steam is turned off and the reservoir is allowed to soak for several weeks. Then the production phase brings the bitumen to the surface. It either flows on its own, or is pumped up the well to the surface. When the rates of production start to decline, the reservoir is pumped with steam once again. Cyclofeeder Receives oilsand feed and prepares it in slurry form for transport to extraction. Deasphalting (or solvent deasphalting) A physical separation process using light solvents to separate heavy material from deasphalted oil. Density The heaviness of crude oil, indicating the proportion of large, carbon-rich molecules, generally measured in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3) or degrees on the American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity scale; in western Canada, oil up to 900 kg/m3 is considered light to medium crude—oil above this density is deemed as heavy oil or bitumen. Desulphurization The process of removing sulphur and sulphur compounds from gases or liquid hydrocarbon mixes.
glossary
Dilbit Bitumen that has been reduced in viscosity through addition of a diluent such as condensate or naphtha. DilSynBit A blend of bitumen, condensate, and synthetic crude oil similar to medium sour crude. Diluent see Condensate Dragline Mining machine that drops a heavy, toothed bucket on a cable from the end of a boom into the oilsand, then drags the bucket through the deposit, scooping up the sand. Ebullated bed process An upgrading/refining process that uses an expanded, ebullated bed of catalyst for hydrocracking. Engineered tails A term used to describe a mixture of mature fine tails and coarse tails. Also referred to as “consolidated tails.”
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) The third stage of hydrocarbon production during which sophisticated techniques that alter the original properties of the oil are used. Enhanced oil recovery can begin after a secondary recovery process or at any time during the productive life of an oil reservoir. Its purpose is not only to restore formation pressure, but also to improve oil displacement or fluid flow in the reservoir. The three major types of enhanced oil recovery operations are chemical flooding (alkaline flooding or micellar-polymer flooding), miscible displacement (carbon dioxide injection or hydrocarbon injection), and thermal recovery (steam flood). The optimal application of each type depends on reservoir temperature, pressure, depth, net pay, permeability, residual oil and water saturations, porosity and fluid properties such as oil API gravity, and viscosity. Established recoverable reserves Reserves recoverable under current technology and present and anticipated economic conditions, plus that portion of recoverable reserves that is interpreted to exist, based on geological, geophysical, or similar information, with reasonable certainty.
Established reserves Reserves recoverable with current technology and present and anticipated economic conditions specifically proved by drilling, testing, or production, plus the portion of contiguous recoverable reserves that are interpreted to exist from geological, geophysical, or similar information with reasonable certainty. Extraction A process, unique to the oilsands industry, which separates the bitumen from the oilsand using hot water, steam, and caustic soda. Fine tailings Essentially muddy water—about 85 per cent water and 15 per cent fine clay particles by volume produced as a result of extraction. Fines Minute particles of solids such as clay or sand. Fiscal terms Royalty and tax terms under which the industry operates.

glossary
Fluid coking A residual upgrading process which continuously cracks the heaviest fraction of bitumen into lighter hydrocarbons as fluid coke. Fraction A portion of crude oil defined by boiling range. Naphtha, diesel, gas oil, and residual are fractions of crude oil. Froth treatment The means to recover bitumen from the mixture of water, bitumen, and solids “froth” produced in hot water extraction (in mining-based recovery). Gas oil The fraction of crude oil that can be processed into gasoline through fluid catalytic cracking or hydrocracking in a refinery. Gasification A process to partially oxidize any hydrocarbon, typically heavy residues, to a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Can be used to produce hydrogen and various energy byproducts. Greenhouse gases Gases commonly believed to be connected to climate change and global warming. CO2 is the most common, but greenhouse gases also include other light hydrocarbons (such as methane) and nitrous oxide. Gypsum A byproduct of flue gas desulphurization units, and is also partly consumed in mining operations to help consolidate fine tailings. Heavy crude oil Oil with a gravity below 22 degrees API. Heavy crudes must be blended, or mixed, with condensate to be shipped by pipeline. Hydrocracking Refining process for reducing heavy hydrocarbons into lighter fractions, using hydrogen and a catalyst; can also be used in upgrading of bitumen. Hydroprocessing An upgrading/refining process that adds hydrogen to crude oil fractions using a catalyst system. Hydroprocessing includes both hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Hydrotransport A slurry process that transports water and oilsand through a pipeline to primary separation vessels located in an extraction plant. Hydrotreater An upgrading/refining process unit that reduces sulphur and nitrogen levels in crude oil fractions by catalytic addition of hydrogen. Initial established reserves Established reserves prior to the deduction of any production. Initial volume in place The volume calculated or interpreted to exist in a reservoir before any volume has been produced.

In situ In its original place; in position; in situ recovery refers to various methods used to recover deeply buried bitumen deposits, including steam injection, solvent injection, and fire floods.
Overburden A layer of sand, gravel, and shale between the surface and the underlying oilsand. Must be removed before oilsands can be mined. Overburden underlies muskeg in many places.
In situ combustion A displacement enhanced oil recovery method. It works by generating combustion gases (primarily CO and CO2) downhole, which then “pushes” the oil towards the recovery well.
Pilot plant Small model plant for testing processes under actual production conditions.
LC-Fining A licensed hydroprocessing upgrading technology that uses an ebullated catalyst bed to continuously crack the heaviest fraction of bitumen into lighter products. Lease A legal document from the province of Alberta giving an operator the right to extract bitumen from the oilsand existing within the specified lease area. The land must be reclaimed and returned to the Crown at the end of operations. Light crude oil Liquid petroleum with a gravity of 28 degrees API or higher. A high-quality light crude oil might have a gravity of about 40 degrees API. Upgraded crude oils from the oilsands run around 30 to 33 degrees API (compared to 32 to 34 for Light Arab and 37 to 40 for West Texas Intermediate). Mature fine tailings A gel-like material resulting from the processing of clay fines contained within the oilsands. Medium crude oil Liquid petroleum with a gravity between 23 and 28 degrees API. Middlings Mixture of water, clay, sand, and bitumen that remains between the bitumen froth at the surface and the sand at the bottom of a primary separation vessel at the end of the extraction stage. Further processing is required to maximize bitumen recovery. Muskeg A water-soaked layer of decaying plant material, one to three metres thick, found on top of the overburden. Naphtha Any of various volatile, often flammable, liquid hydrocarbon mixtures used chiefly as solvents and diluents. Naphtha has a boiling range of 40 to 400 degrees Celsius. Oilsands Bitumen-soaked sand, located in four geographic regions of Alberta: Athabasca, Wabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace River. The Athabasca deposit is the largest, encompassing more than 42,340 square kilometres. Total deposits of bitumen in Alberta are estimated at 1.7 trillion to 2.5 trillion barrels.
Primary production The first stage of hydrocarbon production, in which natural reservoir energy (such as gas drive, water drive, and gravity drainage) displaces hydrocarbons from the reservoir into the wellbore and up to surface. Primary production uses an artificial lift system in order to reduce the bottomhole pressure or increase the differential pressure to sustain hydrocarbon recovery since reservoir pressure decreases with production. Process gas Gas produced from the upgrading process that is not distilled as a liquid. Usually burned as a fuel. Proven recoverable reserves Reserves that have been proven through production or testing to be recoverable with existing technology and under present economic conditions. Reclamation Returning disturbed land to a stable, biologically productive state. Reclaimed property is returned to the province of Alberta at the end of operations. Remaining established reserves Initial reserves less cumulative production. Residuum The heaviest boiling fraction (552 degrees Celsius plus) remaining after processing or distillation of hydrocarbons. Royalty The Crown’s share of production or revenue. About three-quarters of Canadian crude oil is produced from lands, including the oilsands, on which the Crown holds mineral rights. The lease or permit between the developer and the Crown sets out the arrangements for sharing the risks and rewards. Solvent assisted production Although it exists under a number of different monikers, the concept of solvent-assisted bitumen production is the same—in order to make in situ bitumen more mobile while reducing steam injection requirements, producers are looking to solvents such as butane along with the steam. This process has been called “the next big prize.” Sour oil Crude oil containing free sulphur, hydrogen sulphide, or other sulphur compounds. Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) An in situ production process using two closely spaced horizontal wells: one for steam injection and the other for production of the bitumen/water emulsion.
glossary
Steam methane reforming A process commonly used to convert natural gas to hydrogen for upgrading. Surface mining Operations to recover oilsands by open-pit mining, where overburden depth permits. SynBit A blend of bitumen with sweet synthetic crude oil to meet pipeline transportation specifications. Synthetic crude oil A manufactured crude oil comprised of naphtha, distillate, and gas oil-boiling range material. Can range from high-quality, light sweet bottomless crude to heavy, sour blends. Tailings A combination of water, sand, silt, and fine clay particles that is a byproduct of removing the bitumen from the oilsand. Tailings settling basin The primary purpose of the tailings settling basin is to serve as a process vessel allowing time for tailings water to clarify and silt and clay particles to settle, so the water can be reused in extraction. The settling basin also acts as a thickener, preparing mature fine tails for final reclamation. Thermal recovery Any process by which heat energy is used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen in situ to facilitate recovery.
Toe to heel air injection (THAI) An in situ combustion method for producing heavy oil and oilsand. In this technique, combustion starts from a vertical well, while the oil is produced from a horizontal well having its toe in close proximity to the vertical air-injection well. This production method is a modification of conventional fire flooding techniques in which the flame front from a vertical well pushes the oil to be produced from another vertical well. Total volume to bitumen in place The ratio of ore plus overburden volume to total bitumen in place. Truck-and-shovel mining Large electric or hydraulic shovels are used to remove the oilsand and load very large trucks. The trucks haul the oilsand to dump pockets where it is conveyed or pipelined to the extraction plant. Trucks and shovels are more economic to operate than the bucket-wheel reclaimers and draglines they have replaced at oilsands mines. Upgrading The process of converting heavy oil or bitumen into synthetic crude either through the removal of carbon (coking) or the addition of hydrogen (hydroconversion). Vapour extraction (Vapex) Vapex is a non-thermal recovery method that involves injecting a gaseous hydrocarbon solvent into the reservoir where it dissolves into the
sludge-like oil, which becomes less viscous (or more fluid) before draining into a lower horizontal well and being extracted. Visbreaking A process designed to reduce residue viscosity by thermal means, but without appreciable coke formation. Viscosity The ability of a liquid to flow. The lower the viscosity, the more easily the liquid will flow. Wedge wells The wedge well is a concept that has now been commercialized by Cenovus Energy. SAGD well pairs are drilled with about 100 metres between them, and after about two years of production, the steam chambers between pairs begin to commingle and eventually overlap. This leaves a wedge of unproduced oil between the well pairs at the base of the reservoir. Wedge wells are single, horizontal wells drilled between two SAGD well pairs that allow for extraction of previously unrecovered bitumen. Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) The major land-based sedimentary basin in Canada. The basin extends from British Columbia in the west, eastward through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, and includes portions of the Northwest and Yukon territories. The WCSB covers approximately 1,502,193 square kilometres.
