    • Reserves are defined by the EIA as estimated quantities that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Resources are defined typically as undiscovered hydrocarbons estimated on the basis of geologic knowledge and theory to exist outside of known accumulations. Technically recoverable resources are those resources producible with current technology without consideration of economic viability.

    • Hydrocarbon-wetted oil sand deposits require different technology for bitumen extraction than that used for Alberta's water-wetted deposits. Oil sands are characterized as having a wet interface between the sand grain and the oil coating; this allows for the separation of oil from the grain. U.S. oil sands do not have a wet interface making the separation difficult.

    • The ARC was established in 1921, housed at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and funded by the provincial government of Alberta. Its mandate was to document Alberta's mineral and natural resources. Today, the ARC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Alberta Science and Research Authority (ASRA) within Alberta's Ministry of Innovation and Science. The ARC has an annual budget of $85 million.

    • The Alberta Energy Company (AEC) was created by the government of Alberta in 1975. Fifty percent was publicly owned. The government phased out is equity interest and in 1993 sold its remaining interest. The AEC and PanCanadian Energy Corporation merged in 2002 and became EnCana. EnCana sold its interest in Syncrude in 2003. For more details see Alexander's Oil and Gas Connection, "Company News North America," January 15, 2004.

    • ARC, Guide to the ARC, 2001-2002. The ARC's more recent focus on developing in-situ technologies is beginning to shift back to surface mining RandD. They believe that their role is to help many of the newcomers to the industry develop "best practices" technology. The ARC sees itself as an ongoing player in the RandD business because of the huge challenges related to environmental quality, cost reductions, and the need for new upgrading technologies and refinery expansions.

    • The generic oil sands royalty regime consists of three parts: the lease sale, a minimum 1 % pre-payout gross revenue royalty, and a 25% post-payout net revenue royalty. The payout period is the time it takes a firm to recover all allowable capital costs including a rater of return.
