S.O.S. – “Silent” Oil Sands By Zoey Walden Introduction This issue primarily addresses the implications of the precautionary principle. The premise is that if the effects are not known, and there may be irreversible damage to the environment, then it is better to err on the side of caution (i.e., no development). This precautionary approach has been used as justification by environmental groups, as well as within larger bodies such as the European Union to delay major infrastructure projects until the effects can be known.

miniscule, although Canada’s per capita GHG emissions are more than double the world average. Figure 1: GHG Emissions from Oil Sands Activity (2008-2035)

Source: CERI In a scenario where oil sands emissions are to be reduced substantially, wide proliferation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in conjunction with other piloted technologies such as solvent/steam injections and electric heating could play important roles but entail abatement costs exceeding one hundred dollars per Mt abated. A “tough-on-oil-sands” approach that requires substantial abatement could render all new projects uneconomical unless subsidized. This would eliminate oil royalty revenues to the Alberta government, which could have been invested into long-term socially beneficial projects such as hospitals and roads, and could deprive the more economically challenged northern regions of employment opportunities. If protecting people from adverse change is the goal then the loss of government revenue streams and oil sands employment may affect the quality of life more substantially then reducing/eliminating 100-200 Mt/yr of future GHG emissions. Beyond the difference in magnitude of oil sands and global emissions one also has to consider how emissions compare to the economic output of an industry. Figure 2 shows emission intensity as a function of GDP in the year 2006. Oil and gas extraction has an intensity of 1.25 kt CO2e/2006 (106) dollars GDP with pesticide and fertilizer manufacturing topping the list at 10.47 CO2e/2006 (106) dollars GDP. This disparity suggests that Canada could lower the GHG intensity of its own economy by specializing in oil extraction and importing fertilizers thereby moving emissions to other countries.

would allow Canada to appear to be meeting emission goals it would do nothing to address the actual associated problems of climate change; yet, as ludicrous as the above sounds shuffling is a common practice in order to meet emission targets and could be the major consequence of shutting down an industry in one country. In any case, coal-powered generation and transportation emit far more GHGs globally than the oil sands ever will. Figure 2: Emission Intensity of Economic Sectors in Canada (Kt CO2eq/2006 106 dollars GDP)

Source: CERI, Statistics Canada Precaution in the Oil Sands Environmentalists believe in the intrinsic value of ecosystem components and the need for protectionism for future generations. Silent Spring was important in that it did draw awareness to the fact doing nothing may have severe repercussions and there should be implementation of measures to prevent adverse health and environmental impacts even if there is a lack of full scientific certainty. Unfortunately, the precautionary approach, which is based largely on proven or hypothetical risks, tends to focus on avoiding one thing, be it DDT or oil sands development, and paints contrasting scenarios where that one thing shall exist or not. In the case of oil sands emissions there have been calls to shut down the oil sands because its increasing emissions are an affront to Canada’s emission goals. Interestingly, there is no holistic examination of the oil sands contribution to society and scenarios which allow for emission improvements for society as a whole. In general there has been fragmented public decision-making about potential hazards in the presence of uncertainty with decisions on a case-by-case basis

without examination of the synergistic effects of multiple activities. The fact that environmental impacts are rarely limited to a single industry and that mitigation strategies may involve cross-industry cooperation rarely enters into the discussion. In reality, if the goal is to protect human health, or improve quality of living, or protect a certain amount of biodiversity, most of the solutions will also be integrated. The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (1999) recognizes to a degree the integrated nature of the environmental consequences of economic development and has enshrined the precautionary principle in its mandate. Furthermore, the University of Lethbridge argues that the goal of risk management in conjunction with the precautionary principle should be to undertake “scientifically sound, cost-effective integrated actions that reduce risks while taking into account [various considerations]”5 in order to best manage the uncertainty of complex situations. However, while this principle looks wonderful on paper there is minimal definition on what constitutes a threat or who is responsible for cost-effective measures to prevent that

threat. More work is needed to define these integrated paradigms, to quantify repercussions and to portray the trade-offs in a realistic way. Looking for the middle ground and recognizing the integrated nature of environmental problems – and environmental solutions – may address environmental concerns while avoiding a costly shut-down of an industry based on overly simplistic narrow arguments. This would involve cross-sector/stakeholder discussions surrounding how to address the issue of cumulative impacts without focusing on a solely sectored or industrial approach.

B1: World Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)

Notes: 1. Totals for OECD and non-OECD supply include net refining gains; specific regions/groupings within each do not. 2. OPEC demand is an estimate based on

historical annual data. 3. Balance for World equals global stockbuilds (+) and stockdraws (-) for crude oil and petroleum products and miscellaneous gains and

losses. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports and stock changes in the short-term, and net-imports in the longer term. Supply

includes crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products.

C1: US Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)

Notes: 1. Does not balance because of unaccounted for crude oil. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports/transfers and stock

changes in the short-term, and net-imports/transfers in the longer term. 2. As of most recent month. Supply includes crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-

conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products. Source: EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly.

Geographical Specifications

1. The World: OECD is comprised of countries from three regions: North America (Canada, Mexico, US); Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,

Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak

Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK); and Asia-Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea). OPEC is comprised of Persian Gulf (Iran,

Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and non-Persian Gulf countries (Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela). Non-OECD is

comprised of countries from three regions: Former Soviet Union (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Moldova, Russia,

Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan); Asia (including non-OECD

Oceania); and non-Asia (Africa, Middle East, Latin America, and non-

OECD Europe). 2. United States: East (PADD I) – New England

(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,

Vermont); Central Atlantic (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,

Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia) and Lower Atlantic (Florida,

Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia). Mid

-West (PADD II) – Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South

Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. South-Central (PADD III) – Alabama,

Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. North-West

(PADD IV) – Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming. West

(PADD V) – Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,

Washington.

3. Canada: East is comprised of Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec and the

Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova

Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). West is comprised of Alberta, British

Columbia, Saskatchewan and the northern territories (NorthWest

Territories, Nunavuut, and Yukon).

Additional Notes

1. Petroleum and oil refer to crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs),

whereas crude oil refers to its namesake and field condensates.

Condensates derived from natural gas processing plants are classified as

NGLs. 2. The spot price is for immediate delivery of crude oil or refined

products at a specific location. Spot transactions are generally on a cargo

by cargo basis. In contrast, a futures price is for delivery of a specified

quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place in the future. 3.

Crude oil sold Free-On-Board (FOB) is made available to the buyer at the

loading port at a particular time, with transportation and insurance the

responsibility of the buyer. Crude oil sold Cost-Insurance-Freight (CIF) is

priced at a major destination point, with the seller responsible for the

transportation and insurance to that point. A “Delivered” transaction is

similar to a CIF transaction, except the buyer in the former pays based on the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port, whereas in a CIF

transaction, the buyer accepts the quantity and quality as determined at the loading port. 4. Processing gain is the volume of which refinery output is

greater than crude oil inputs. The difference is due to the processing of crude oil products, which in total have a lower specific gravity than crude oil. 5.

Unaccounted for crude oil reconciles the difference between crude input to refineries and the sum of domestic production, net imports/exports, stock

changes and documented losses (in the U.S.). 6. Totals may not equal the sum of their parts in the statistical tables due to rounding.
