摘要

Much of the success in oil sands development during the past decade has come as a result of improved economics. The graph of Fig. 6.1 makes this clear. In 1983, it cost around $40 (Canadian) to mine and extract a barrel of bitumen. This was not promising at a time when oil prices had dropped below $30 a bbl and were destined to fall still further. By 1997, however, when oil prices were above $25/bbl, this figure for a barrel of bitumen had decreased to less than $20. Oil sands were an established, profitable enterprise on a large and growing scale. Since 1997, costs for bitumen production have dropped still further, to around $12-18 ($8-14 U.S.), even as oil prices have continued to climb. Beginning in 2003, it was possible for oil sands projects to realize a 20% or higher rate of return. In early 2005, with oil prices above (U.S.) $45/bbl, operators indicated returns as high as 40% (on a temporary basis at least) for some projects, though for SAGD operations—which are energy intensive and reliant on natural gas for steam generation—higher energy prices have increased costs and reduced profits somewhat. In late 2004, operators were reporting unit (per-bbl) supply costs for SAGD projects ranging from $14-22 (Canadian) (Moritis, 2005; Rach, 2005).
