Canada Oilsands Production Continues Growth, Strong NatGas Use

摘要

Canadian natural gas producers are going to keep their biggest industrial cus- tomer as thermal oilsands plants weather the fourth global oil price storm since com- mercial production of the northern Alberta resource began 47 years ago. Gas use for bitumen separation with heat is still on the rise as the industry sticks to the pattern that evolved through the oil price crashes of 1985-1986, 1998-1999 and 2008-2009.
