The upgrading process for Cold Lake heavy oil is likely to be quite similar to the upgrading of the 6 to 10°API Athabasca deposits where a factor of 0.70 is being realized in converting surface bitumen to synthetic crude oil. Employing a surface conversion factor of 0.70, therefore, the ultimate recovery range expressed in terms of synthetic crude is estimated to be in the range of 15 to 30 billion barrels.
