The Government of Alberta in its new document “Responsible Actions: A Plan for Alberta Oil Sands” includes a Strategy Six entitled “Increase available information, develop measurement systems, and enhance accountability in the management of oil sands”. This is directed at “…improved communication processes, transparent accountability systems, and consistent measurement and monitoring…”. These directives are being applied at the governmental level but inevitably will place increased requirements on source information from Oil Sands producers. This paper looks at the characteristics of Oil Sands operational data and what is required to increase credibility and confidence in the information to meet current and anticipated regulations.
