Insight’s 7th Annual Canadian Oil Sands Summit

For the 7th Annual Canadian Oil Sands Summit, Insight Information has assembled for you a roster of leading North American business and government leaders and experts who will provide their insights on the current state of play in oil sands development, emerging issues facing the industry, and what it takes to succeed in developing the oil sands resources.

Representatives from the project operators, engineering/construction firms, reserve engineers and other industry consultants, government, key regulators and legal experts will look at recent developments, explain their roles, share their recent experience and give their views on the future. What impact will increasing concerns for continental security and North American energy strategies potentially have on oil sands development? What is the current economic climate from an industry perspective and what issues are facing oil sands developers? What will be required for the majority of projects currently deferred to be restarted? What are the latest strategies being employed to address the industry’s recent history of continuing capital cost increases? Is oil pipeline export capacity an issue? How will oil sands production, which requires a significant amount of natural gas, benefit from the current natural gas supply environment and lower expected gas prices going forward? What are the latest emerging technologies and companies in the sector? How will future development be impacted by countries, such as the U.S., where emerging CO2 emissions regulations are being formulated? From a market perspective, will crude oil markets continue to be able to absorb the increased production?
