Oilsands Projects in the RMWB


Estimated value of oilsands construction projects (in percentages and $millions). Information from the Inventory of Major Alberta Projects – Alberta Economic Development, September 2007.


Proposed – projects do not yet have regulatory approval and/or the company board of director’s announcement to proceed with construction.
Active – projects have received all regulatory approvals and company board of directors announced that production will proceed, but construction has not started yet.
On-going – projects are in construction, and may be aimed at enhancement of production, reduction of costs, or reduction of environmental emissions.
Completed – projects are over 95 per cent complete, so few or no construction workers will be hired.
Deferred – projects are those where company board of directors announce that construction will not proceed at this time.
