  1. Oil Sands: An Industry OverviewPresented by: Jacob Irving, Executive Director OSDG Presented to: Fort McMurray Rotary Club Date: January 28, 2009

  2. Athabasca Deposit Region – Status of Proposed Oil Sands Projects Under Construction/Approved/Application (Jan. 2009) • Total potential bitumen production for projects currently: • Under construction – 269,500 bpd • Under ERCB approval – 1,259,000 • bpd • Under regulatory application – • 1,600,000 bpd Data source: Strategy West Jan. 2009

  3. 2008 Oil Sands Bitumen Production Forecast1 • Continues to grow to 5M bbl/day, consistent with past forecasts Mining Insitu 1Bitumen forecast for all Alberta oil sands projects – all announced case Source: CAPP and Nichols Applied Management

  7. Forecast of New Permanent Operations Jobs in the Wood Buffalo Region - continues to track previous projections • Paralleling growth in bitumen production and driving urban population growth • Excludes the over 27,000 current construction workforce • For every permanent operations job: 3 jobs created locally, and 6 nationally1 Cumulative growth, new permanent operations jobs only - does not include construction jobs 1998 - 6,600 people directly employed by oil sands 2007 - Over 5,000 new jobs, nearly double 1998 jobs 2012 - 13,700 new jobs, triple 1998 jobs Actual Forecast 1Source: Nichols Applied Management Note: 2007 data subject to verification

  8. 2007 Urban Population Forecast • Excludes the over 27,000 workers currently in work camps and hotel/motels and anticipates an 8%/yr growth through 2010 Fort McMurray urban service area/Saprae Creek. Adjusted for 2007 RMWB census OSDG’s population forecast process has been approved by a third party audit performed by Deloitte Touche Average annual population increase of 9% over past 7 years with 8% expected through to 2010 Source: Nichols Applied Management

  9. OSDG Members continue to invest significantly in the community $12 million donated in 2007 within the RMWB and $11.5 million in 2006 including: $2.5 million to MacDonald Island recreation facility $2.5 million to Timberlea Athletic Park $750,000 donation to MRI campaign $200,000 to Leadership Wood Buffalo Ongoing support for key community service organizations including: United Way (Fort McMurray is per capita leader in Canada) Keyano College Northern Lights Regional Health Centre YMCA of Wood Buffalo Day Care More than $52 million donated over the past 10 years.

  10. Aboriginal participation and opportunities in oil sands development are substantial • Aboriginal Companies – value of contracts in 2007 - $606 million • Aboriginal Companies – value of contracts 1998 – 2007 - $2.6 billion • Aboriginal employees in permanent jobs in 2007 – 1,500+ • Contributions to Aboriginal communities in 2007 - $3.6 million • Athabasca Tribal Council APCA funding 2007 - $1.6 million • Industry Relations Corporations funding 2007 - $8 million

  11. Announced Infrastructure Funding 2005 – 2008 for Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo

  12. Environment - Water • Total Annual Net Water Allocation of the Athabasca River represents less than 3.2% of flow, compared to: • 37% North Saskatchewan River (Edmonton) • 60% Oldman River (Southern Alberta) • 65% Bow River (Calgary) • Oil sands industry net water allocation is 2.2% of flow • Industry has consistently used less than its allocated amount • There has been a decrease in the overall amount of water used in mining over the past 30 years of oil sands development. • Saline/brackish water use in in-situ operations is the norm • Oil sands mining operations recycle more than 80% of the fresh water used. Cooling tower evaporation accounts for 30% of any lost water which is returned to the hydrologic cycle. • Intense sampling of water reveals no change in naturally occurring contaminants from oil sands development. • Industry is constantly researching ways to further reduce water use. It makes sense from an environmental, social and business perspective.

  13. Environment - Air • The oil sands industry has reduced NOx and SO2 emissions on a per barrel basis since the beginning of oil sands production • Air quality in the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo region rated “good” or better nearly 90% of the time, consistently higher than major cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton • The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) operates 14 active and 14 passive air monitoring stations with real time air quality data available via the internet 24/7 http://www.wbea.org/content/view/56/111/ • The Oil Sands currently account for 5% of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions or 0.1% of global emissions • Barring significant change, the Oil Sands could grow to 8% of Canada’s GHG emissions by 2015 • From a full life cycle or Wells to Wheels perspective, production methods account for approximately 15% of the total carbon output from an Oil Sands barrel. The majority of the carbon is produced by end use combustion.

  16. Wood Buffalo - Major Regional Challenges • Uncertain economic climate • Environmental issues • Industry has consistently reduced water use, GHG, SO2 andNOx emissions on a per barrel basis • Industry is strongly monitored and regulated • New technology is constantly researched and applied • Industry needs to improve communication • Aboriginal relations – maintain and increase opportunities • Demand on infrastructure i.e. housing, transportation, utilities, health care • Skilled labour availability – recruitment and retention
