Ray, tar sands costs -- See slides in the middle of this presentation, twst.com , which was recently put on by Western Oil Sands (WTO.T), who is a partner the latest oil sands project to start up. In fact Shell Canada, their partner, just announced production startup today. I believe the slides on costs per barrel are around slide #16 or 17.

Looks like their production costs are gonna be around C$10/bbl plus feedstock costs, which are the wild card since most of the feedstock is natural gas. They had estimated C$2.50/bbl. for this but it looks to be a tad low based on current AECO gas strip price.

I still own a little WTO but sold most of my position to reduce margin exposure for awhile.
