Mineable Oil Sands

Mining 20% of the oil sands resource is less than 200 feet deep


10/16

In Situ Oil Sands

Cold Flow

Low capital investment

Only works well where the oil (bitumen) is fluid enough

Recovery is only 5-10%

In Situ 80% of the oil sands resource is more than 200 feet deep

Toe to Heel Air Injection (THAI)

Lower capital costs

Minimal usage of natural gas and water

Potential to be utilized in deep heavy oil resources

80% recovery expected

Future In Situ Technology

Vapor Extraction Process (VAPEX)

Solvent injected into oil sands resulting in significantviscosity reduction

Expensive injection fluid (propane)

Lower energy costs

Potential for in situ upgrading and application to thinreservoirs

Limited field-testing
