AND FOR THE FUTURE

Oil Sands

Enerplus has a portfolio of oil sands assets that feature both steam assisted gravity drainage and mining potential. Through this portfolio we have over 500 million barrels of contingent oil sands resources and future production potential of over 60,000 bbls/day of bitumen.

60,000
bbls per day of production growth potential from oil sands
