	Hubbert peak theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During 2004, approximately 24 billion barrels of conventional oil was produced out of the total of 30 billion barrels of oil; the remaining 6 billion barrels coming from heavy oil and tar sands, deep water oil fields, and natural gas liquids (see adjacent ASPO graph).
		That is countered by an important Saudi oil industry insider who says the American government's forecast for future oil supply is a "dangerous over-estimate."[7] Campbell argues that the USGS estimates are methodologically flawed (although he does not claim to be an expert in probability theory)[8].
		Peak oil proponents point out that such technologies are much more costly and polluting than conventional oil and claim that they cannot be produced in sufficient quantity to replace rapidly declining supplies of conventional oil.

	Alberta's Total Oil Supply (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Today, near Fort McMurray, oil sands are recovered in open-pit mines by truck-and-shovel operations, in which the world’s largest Caterpillar 797 and 797B trucks have payloads of 380 tons.
		Oil sand is transported to processing plants, where hot or warm water separates the bitumen from the sand, followed by dilution with lighter hydrocarbons and upgrading to SCO - a mixture of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons.
		About 20% of the oil sands reserves in Alberta are recoverable by surface mining; in-situ technologies need to be used for the remaining 80% of the oil sands that are buried at depth (>75 m).

		Subsidies to domestic oil are worth between $1.20 and $2.80 per barrel of domestic crude consumed.

		Developers are required to restore oil sand mining sites to at least the equivalent of their previous biological productivity; which is to say that the region as a whole forms an ecosystem and landscape that is as least as healthy and productive as the one that existed before it.
