Eastern Canadian refineries are clearly not yet equipped to handle large-scale processing of western crude oil—bitumen. They receive synthetic crude, but also conventional crude, from the west. However, the profit margin established when crude oil is imported—if it is available—justifies the investments required to develop infrastructure for large-scale processing.
As I was saying earlier, in Suncor's case, we are talking about several hundred million dollars of additional annual profits. That more than justifies spending a few hundred million dollars to bring a unit up to standards or to build a new unit. Currently, the projects that are the most likely to be carried out quickly are Isomax and the crude unit. That existing unit will be adapted, and its capacity will be increased so that it can process crude oil. There are two crude units. The smaller one will be dismantled in order to build a larger one that will be able to process western crude oil. It is projected that those investments could be recouped within three or four years, at the most. So that is very profitable for the industry.
