Suncor is <$9 per barrel for its blended production, while Syncrude is in the high teens for its Suncrude Sweet Blend. Both operations remain profitable down to roughly $22 WTI.

It seems that everyone ignores bitumen because it is halfway to coal in most peoples eyes. Syncrude, Suncor and Albian Sands obtain their bitumen from open-pit mines rather than oil wells. They wash the oilsand and skim off the oily froth and dilute it to recover the 8 API oil.

Recently, some progress has been made with Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) and with Vapour Extraction (Vapex). There are a few operating SAGD plants producing a total of a few thousand barrels per day. More than $50 billion worth of capital investment has been announced for the Athabasca deposit for the next decade.
