CI Energy Group's 10th Annual

Oil Sands Symposium

Responsible Strategies for Improving Time to Market and Global Access

Wednesday, November 16 to Thursday, November 17, 2011
Hyatt Regency, Calgary, Alberta

Understand Best Practices to Avoid Project Overruns and Accelerate Time to Market

The shifting economic landscape has created environmental concerns in Canada and the USA, significantly delaying pipeline projects that were set to transport crude oil to refineries in the USA and markets in Asia Pacific via Canada’s west coast.

Shortage of skilled labour and land use concerns are also plaguing the industry, making time to market a significant challenge; as a result, producers are tackling high project cost and overruns. The industry is now faced with finding new markets to capitalize on rising oil prices and the best method of transportation to these markets.

CI Energy Group’s 10th Annual Oil Sands Symposium will address time to market and market access from a stakeholder perspective. Hear from industry experts on how to access lucrative foreign markets while utilizing effective methods to reduce costs and avoid project over-runs.

Gain critical information on the impact of a National Energy Strategy on the oil sands industry and examine the oil sands as a major contributor to the global energy supply.

This year’s program will address:

  • Canada's role in protecting market access and international reputation from Radha Subramani, A/Deputy Director, Oil Sands and Energy Security Division, Natural Resources Canada
  • Gary Houston, Total E&P Canada and Ed Koshka, Ivanhoe Energy to discuss exporting crude oil to the West Coast and the infrastructure projects that will be required
  • Dr. Bruce McGee, E-T Energy on overcoming the challenges of project cost over-runs
  • Panel of experts from CN, Canadian Pacific, Canada Transportation and Safety Board and the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association will examine the options for transport to the Gulf Coast and Asia
