IN SITU OIL SANDSRECOVERY AND UPGRADING WITH TECHNOLOGIESDay One | Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Booking Info: www.marcusevansbb.com/IHO2009CONFERENCE BACKGROUNDHeavy oil accounts for more than double the resources of conventional oilin the world and with the need to satisfy current and future oil demand, the oilsands of Alberta are undergoing an investment boom worth more than $100billion. From 2007 to 2016, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EuB) projectstotal real investment in Alberta's oil sands (surface mining, upgrading, in situ andsupport services) will reach Canadian $118 billion. Oil sands output is expectedto rise from about 1.2 millions barrels a day to an expected 3 million b/dby 2016, and perhaps 4 million plus by 2020. That could make Canadathe world’s 4th biggest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US.In addition to this, the Alberta oil sands and heavy oil industry is both a globallyimportant and growing source of oil supply as well as a vital breeding groundfor production and environmental technologies.Last year's event's high level speaker panel addressed issues surroundingsuccesses in recovery methods yielding high productivity and low emissionsand consumption, keynote addresses in emerging markets and technologiesas well as addressing and overcoming challenges within the industry.By attending the marcus evans 4th Annual International Heavy Oil Conference,you will be presented with the priceless opportunity t o share your ideas,experiences, technology and expertise with major industry players in heavy oiland oil sands production. In addition to this, you will also be making soundreturns on investments, maximizing EOR and maintaining financiallyand environmentally sustainable oil sands markets.8:15 Registration8:45 Opening Remarks from Conference Chair9:00 Case StudyExploring Alberta's Oil Sands – Regional and Global Opportunities• Elaborating on the opportunities that will allow Alberta to maximize the economic and social benefits of integrated oil sands development• Highlighting the ways in which synergies between sectors will be an important element in making Alberta a global energy leader• Identifying global leadership opportunities in Alberta oil sands Shannon FlintSenior AdvisorGovernment of Alberta9:45 Case Study Analyzing the Oil Sands Developmental Market • Exploring the role of the Alberta oil sands in Canada's economy• Addressing country risk and the development of oil sands prospects in emerging markets• Analysing oil sands and heavy oil product price dynamics using cointegration and error correction models (ECM))• Modeling and forecasting cointegrated relationships among heavy oil and product pricesShabir PremjiExecutive ChairmanAlberta Oilsands Inc.10:30 Networking Break11:00 Case StudyTotal E&P Canada – Building Positive Relationships in the CommunitiesWhere They Operate• Discussing the benefits of implementing a comprehensive consultation strategy to engage and partner with local First Nation Communities• Bringing direct benefits to local communities so they experience the social and economic benefits of oil sands development• Working with local professional associations in order to maximize local content and support the local economyLarry WallCommunity Engagement ManagerTotal E&P Canada11:45 Case StudyOil Sands Upgrading – A North West Case Study• Discussing the business model of being a "downstream solution" for bitumen producers• Highlighting the ideal location in an industrial pipeline hub• Assessing the process flow sheet, including bottoms gasification and CO2 capture• Discussing product mix, including Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel and diluent• Encapsulating the economic benefits for Canada and the Province of Alberta of oil sands upgrading within the province• Detailing North West's carbon capture plans and actions, with a contract in place to sell CO2 for enhanced oil recoveryDoug QuinnCEONorth West Upgrading12:30 LuncheonRECEIVING MAXIMUM BENEFITS ON SOUND INVESTMENTSDay Two | Thursday, March 19, 20091:30 Round Table DiscussionConquering Water Management Challenges• Analysing trends in water use for oilfield injection in heavy oil mining• Protecting the aquatic ecosystem of the Athabasca River• Exploring water treatment and recycling options and processes after EOR• Exploring alternative water sources for EOR2:15 Case StudyRetaining Skilled Labour and Alleviating Future Shortages• Addressing the industry's need to expand internal training programs and the hiring of apprentices• Grasping the importance of labour market intelligence• Approaches to making the heavy oil industry an alternative career for personnel at all levels and aspectsJohn CookChairmanKeyano College3:00 Networking Break3:30 Case StudyImplementing Successful Environmental Protection Strategies• Reviewing the environmental costs and impacts of the heavy oil industry• Addressing cumulative environmental concerns• Developing consensus adaptive environmental management to maintain ecosystem viabilityErrin KimballVP, ExplorationOilsands Quest Inc.4:15 Case Study Environmentally Sound Development in Canada's Oil Sands Industry• Preparing and mitigating the impact of development on the environment and social fabric of surrounding communities• Ensuring continued growth and diversity in the region to sustain its economic viability• Developing consensus adaptive environmental management to maintain ecosystem viabilityNeil ShelleyExecutive DirectorAlberta's Industrial Heartland Association5:00 Closing Comments and End of Day TwoMINIMIZING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINTS OF HEAVY OIL PRODUCTIONBooking Info: www.marcusevansbb.com/IHO2009BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES:A limited amount of exhibition space is available at the conference.Sponsorship opportunities covering luncheon, evening functions, anddocumentation also exist.
