4 Fact Sheet March 215 Oil Sands ConocoPhillips holds approximately.9 million net acres of land in the Athabasca Region of northeastern Alberta. The significant bitumen deposits on these lands are estimated to contain approximately 15 billion net barrels of resources, making ConocoPhillips the holder of one of the largest land and resource positions in the region. ConocoPhillips bitumen resources in Canada are produced using SAGD technology. SAGD involves injection of steam into the reservoir, effectively liquefying the heavy bitumen, which then is recovered and pumped to the surface for further processing. ConocoPhillips net bitumen production from the Surmont operations and FCCL Partnership has grown by an average of 24 percent annually over the past three years. This resulted in production of 129 MBD in 214, ranking it second among SAGD producers in Canada. ConocoPhillips has a number of ongoing development projects and further opportunities in these assets. Thornbury, Crow Lake, McMillan Lake and Saleski Operator: ConocoPhillips (1%) ConocoPhillips holds other lands in the Athabasca Region that contain substantial bitumen resources.
