Western Canada
The following key assumptions have been used to determine available oil sands supply:
a) All bitumen must be blended with either condensate or upgraded light crude oil to meet pipeline
specifications;
b) Condensate is the preferred diluent over upgraded light crude oil;
c) The Southern Lights Pipeline can deliver additional diluent to western Canadian producers;
d) Railed imports could supplement a shortfall of condensate that could be required by producers beyond the capacity provided by Southern Lights and before an expansion of the pipeline or other alternative is in place.
