Group 1 - S&P Global forecasts that Canada's oil sands production is expected to reach a record high of 3.5 million barrels per day this year, representing a 5% increase compared to last year [1] - By 2030, Canada's oil sands production is projected to rise to 3.9 million barrels per day, an increase of nearly 3% from previous forecasts [1] - The potential export bottlenecks are a concern as over 90% of Canada's crude oil exports go to the U.S., and there is a pressing need to find alternative markets, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region [1] Group 2 - The main production area for Canadian oil sands is Alberta, with the Enbridge Mainline pipeline system already transporting oil sands to the U.S. [1] - The expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline is expected to be completed in 2024, facilitating oil sands exports to the Asia-Pacific market [1] - Currently, most oil sands transported via the Trans Mountain pipeline are still being shipped to the U.S. rather than to Asia [1] Group 3 - Bloomberg reports that the Trans Mountain pipeline is expected to further increase its capacity by early 2027 [2] - Alberta's government is considering a partnership with private companies to build a new pipeline to the west coast, which could have a capacity of 1 million barrels per day [2] - These initiatives are anticipated to bring potential changes in oil transportation volumes and assist Canada in expanding its market in the Asia-Pacific region [2]
