Canadian Oil Sands Analytics

Oil Sands operators have spent an average of $14 billion per year over the last four years in Alberta. Yet while spending continues to increase, there is no comprehensive source for Canadian oil sands economic outlook data—a profound knowledge gap that COSA will eliminate—and which will decrease the risk when undertaking these massive investments. COSA offers access to a unique combination of datasets—an oil sands project database, production, price, capital cost, and labor outlooks, and provides projections and regular updates on the many issues that could affect oil sands investments, including project and policy changes that influence outlooks. COSA clients not only benefit from an unmatched level of oil sands economic coverage, but can also rely on the IHS CERA proven track record in the oil sands sector via the Oil Sands Dialogue, as well as our global expertise in oil markets, capital costs, macroeconomics, and natural gas markets. Whether you represent an operator, a government body, an equipment supplier, or an investor, COSA evaluates risks and rewards, and informs strategic decision-making.
