Canada’s Oil Sands: Challenging the Impossible, Making it Viable

For decades, the oil sands were considered too expensive to develop on a broad scale but determination, ingenuity and great technological advancement helped turn a high-cost, high-risk unconventional resource base into a reliable, competitive source of new energy.

World energy demand is growing at an unprecedented rate. At a time when many conventional sources are on the decline, Canada’s oil sands can play an important role in the global energy strategy.

Kirk Bailey, Executive Vice President - Oil Sands for Suncor Energy, will discuss his views on this topic and explain how innovation and technological advancement has and continues to play a major role in addressing some of the economic issues and environmental challenges related to the development of one of the largest petroleum resource basins in the world.
