you do the math
petrochemical plant ~ $500M Heavy oil upgrader ~ $8 BILLION
you do the math
In addition, most petrochemicals are made on the south coast of the US and shipped back here. Makes sense to value add our petrol before shipping it.
Fucking NDP. Driving investment and jobs out of the province. Bastards!
don't let one possible good thing out way the $10's of Billions of dollars driven out by their royalty review that essentially, did NOTHING! Just because they get a checkmark here, doesn't right the wrongs. Just like grading, there is a weighted average and while this is a check for sure, it is no where near the weight of the other X!

Of course. But why does it not make sense to add value to your oil products instead? What we hear about with Alberta is oil, not natural gas.

People are attributing oil sands investment 'leaving' to the royalty review, when there has been no causal relationship shown. I haven't seen any reports that any investment has left, other than projects getting delayed because low oil prices mean they aren't viable. Same with drilling rigs. But lack of investment is not the same as a company pulling up stakes and leaving.
And having a royalty review on occasion is a prudent move.

That is already in the works.
“What we do is different than upgrading,” MacGregor said. “We make products that are finished, and they don’t need any intermediate processing. And those products are short in Western Canada. We don’t even supply enough to meet our own demand today, and that’s a situation that’s unlikely to change. And they are also products that are ... in demand by the world.”

Tell that to the guys out of work.

Good stuff. This is what we need, instead of always only focusing on exporting.
How does the Alberta government supply dilbit?

The Saudi government isn't taking Rachel's calls.

It's part of the last royalty review that Stelmach did. Instead of increasing royalty rates, the GoA would simply take bitumen in kind. So they started building the Northwest Refinery to process the bitumen owed to us as part of the royalty regime.

have a little look at this

It shows data from the last royalty review(s) and how it impacted investment in Alberta's energy sector. Do you really think this time is any different? That was $60 oil and as soon as steady eddy said royalty review massive capital was walked out of AB to our neighbours.
It happens EVERY time someone even hints at royalty review. I am not saying we should never do them ever, however; I work first hand in a industry that shelved projects for a year NOT BECAUSE OF OIL PRICE, but because of the words Royalty Review.
You see heavy oil is a fickle industry, we can't just shut in wells, our projects take 10 years to plan out and we have to build significant infrastructure, that happens when oil is low or high because the outlook on first steam on some of these initiatives is 15 years away.
