Oil Sands deposit map

[falser]

This map might be useful to understand how the oilsands are split up amongst the Canadian (and some US) oil companies.

Kinda reminds me how Germany was split up after WW2. I wonder why there are any empty spots at all. Syncrude looks to have the ideal patch right smack dab in the middle, followed by Suncor (which I think is the best, purist oilsand company).

The companies are:
SYN = Syncrude (conglomerate of Canadian Oil Sands Limited, Imperial Oil, Petro Canada, Nexen, ConocoPhillips, Mocal Energy and Murphy Oil) traded on the TSX as COS.UN (Canadian Oilsands Trust)
SU = Suncor Energy
CNQ = Canadian Natural Resources
UTS = UTS Energy Corporations
IMO = Imperial Oil (Exxon Canada, basically)
ECA = Encana
PCA = Petro-Canada
HSE = Husky Energy
SHC = Shell Canada
XOM = Exxon Mobil
Synenco
Deer Creek
DVN = what is this ??

reat post. I'll add it to the posting "Black gold"

COS.UN is where my Oilsands investment dollars go. Investing in the other companies is fine too, but you're investing in their much larger operation which includes other oil sources in many other countries. I wanted a pure Canadian Oil Sands investment, so COS.UN was a natural pick.

Remember-- it takes a lot of natural gas to process the oil sands so consider other Alberta based natural gas suppliers and trusts as a hedge/counterpart to the Oil Sands focused investment. If the cost of natural gas goes up, Oil Sands profits go down, but if you own both, you make money on either side.

Wow that stock has seen some major action lately. Sadly I'm on the sidelines. I think I'll be paying closer attention now.

CanWest Petroleum Corporation has applied for a listing on a major US exchange, rumor says it is the AMEX. No matter which exchange it is the stock will move up big time when that occurs. This could be one of those investments of a lifetime.

I own 6000 shares of the stock.

It's a bulletin board stock. Go see if you can enter a market order. You can't.

Forget Casey. David Petch has been hot on this for a looong time. He's looking for 60-200 bucks a share.
