The in situ perspective
IOSA is the voice of an alliance of emerging in situ oil sands developers. We are a vibrant, sustainable and forward-thinking group of oil sands companies. Our goal is to manage the responsible development of an industry we can be proud of.
Leading through innovation
IOSA members use creativity and expertise to advance technology forward in the oil sands. This kind of innovation reduces our environmental impact, improves efficiency and lowers costs. We attract some of the best and brightest talent the oil sands industry has to offer to develop these new techniques, strengthening Alberta’s ability to continue to be a world leader in oil sands recovery.
With more than 80 percent of the province’s bitumen resources accessible only through the use of in situ techniques, IOSA members are dedicated to investing in new technologies and innovations to reduce operating and capital costs and also protect the environment.
In situ production is the key to unlocking the future potential of Canada's oil sands.
