Canada’s Alberta mulls six projects for oil sands upgrading

摘要

TORONTO (ICIS)--The government of Canada’s Alberta is considering six big project proposals for the partial upgrading of oil sands bitumen, the province's premier (governor) Rachel Notley said this week. The projects could help reduce the big price gap between West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude and Western Canadian Select (WCS) – a gap that is costing the Canadian economy an estimated Canadian dollar (C$) 80m/day ($60m/day), Notley said at an oil industry even in Calgary, Alberta.
