approach to heavy oil and conventional oil & gas aids in the evaluation of
exploration, development and acquisition opportunities

We like
heavy oil for the reason that it is a commodity with less technical risk associated with
it in finding the oil. The risk of heavy oil is that the price that you get has more
volatility than the price for light oil. You have a lower margin barrel but the barrel is
generally easier to find. Also, you are pursuing a commodity that does not have as much
competition. We try to do things differently so that we do not have to compete head-on
with the other trusts on commodities such as natural gas. We also want some balance in our
production portfolio, which is why we have the 40% of our production base that is not in
heavy oil. We are happy with that because it gives us a good balance so that we are not
totally dependent on the fortunes of heavy oil prices. |
