We have revised significantly upwards our projections of output from<br />

Canadian non-conventional resources since the last edition of the <strong>Outlook</strong>, in<br />

response to higher oil prices and to growing interest in developing such<br />

resources. Higher oil prices have already boosted revenues from oil-sands and<br />

extra-heavy oil projects, though profitability has increased proportionately less<br />

because of higher electricity and natural gas prices. Non-conventional projects<br />

are very energy-intensive, so their profitability is very sensitive to energy-input<br />

prices. 11 For in situ production, the availability and price of diluent for<br />

blending and the differential between heavy and light crude oil prices are also<br />

11. On average, about 30 cubic metres of natural gas is used in producing a single barrel of bitumen<br />

in Canada (NEB, <strong>2006</strong>).<br />
