Nevertheless, our
evolution to different lines it is calculate at least in 5 years but the expansion
would be humongous. Production from the Alberta oil sands is still in its early
stages and the province's established bitumen resources will last for
generations into the future. The Alberta Energy Regulator estimates that the
province has 50 billion cubic metres (310,000 MMbbl) of ultimately recoverable
bitumen resources. At the 2014 production rate of 366,300 cubic metres per day
(2.3 Mbbl/d), they would last for about 375 years. The AER projects that
bitumen production will increase to 641,800 cubic metres per day (4.0 Mbbl/d)
by 2024, but at that rate they would still last for about 213 years. Because of
the enormous size of the known oil sands deposits, economic, labor,
environmental, and government policy considerations are the constraints on production
rather than finding new deposits.
In addition, the
Alberta Energy Regulator has recently identified over 67 billion cubic metres
(420 Gbbl) of unconventional shale oil resources in the province. This volume
is larger than the province's oil sands resources, and if developed would give
Canada the largest crude oil reserves in the world. However, due to the recent
nature of the discoveries there are not yet any plans to develop them. Being
said this the projection is in 10 years to consolidate our company like the
first option for oil conventional drill problems and a good competition for any
company with this core business.
