The figures exclude blending and transportation costs but include capital expenditures.

The Alberta oil sands constitute one of the largest energy reserves on the planet. It shows the comparative extraction costs for major oil plays. Environmental 12 Feb 2020 The Syncrude Canada plant at the Athabasca oil sands near Fort McMurray on the oil sands and the environmental costs of extracting the oil.
The profit of any oil company depends on the costs it needs to produce 1 barrel of oil, technically spoken 1 barrel of oil equivalent (boe).Oil sands are a major type of unconventional oil production.
In their 11th annual review of oil sands supply costs, the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) pegs breakeven costs at $43.31/bbl for SAGD projects (steam-assisted gravity drainage) and $70.08/bbl for a stand-alone mine. The figures exclude blending and transportation costs but include capital expenditures. Currently the cost of production is in the $40/bbl range. Capital costs add another $10-$20/bbl, but the expected operating cost for the life of the mine is projected to decline to between $25 and $35 per barrel of SCO. Considering that the going rate for SCO over the past couple of years has been $90-$100/bbl, Despite recent advances, oil sands operators are still among the highest-cost producers in the world. A continued decline in crude prices could severely wound the industry by deterring investment. Average full-cycle costs in the oil sands fell by about $5/bbl on an annual average basis in 2015 from 2014. Several factors help explain this. Lower upstream activity enabled oil sands producers to access more efficient equipment and labor at lower rates. Producers also benefited from even cheaper natural gas.
