Economic Implications Based on recent project costs: New SAGD projects require WTI prices of US$7-8/b for acceptable returns New mining, extraction and upgrading projects require WTI prices of US$7-1/b for acceptable returns However: Project costs are dropping - but how much? The oil price thresholds for attractive economic investments are also dropping Oil Sands Outlook: How will the Challenges Facing the Industry affect Growth? 6
