IOSA is the voice of an alliance of in situ producers seeking innovative answers to the most compelling issue of our time.
Challenging Conventional Thinking
Our goal is to enrich our stakeholders with fresh and balanced perspectives on the Canadian oil sands, energy trade and supply, and the responsible development of hydrocarbons.
Our Identity
We are independent in situ developers located in Western Canada whose main business is the oil sands, including technologies that may have a major impact on in situ oil sands extraction. Our interest is in creating balanced conversations about global energy supply, and about Canada's oil sands in particular. We aim to provide accurate, consistent, fair and reasoned information, recognizing that we represent a single voice in a complex, multi-faceted dialogue.
Our Economics
Combined, IOSA members have estimated capital expenditures in excess of $2.5 billion on our projects to date and we are anticipating investing a further $7 billion over the next five years to develop our resource base. We build our in situ processing equipment in fabrication shops across North America.
