520			_aCanada's oilsands are one of the largest petroleum deposits in the world. They consist of bitumen, the semi solid, super viscous portion of crude. Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) estimates that the oilsands hold approximately 1.7 trillion bbls in place, of which approximately 173 billio bbls are recoverable. Every day, 1.3 million bpd is produced from the region surrounding Fort McMurray in northeast Alberta; the Canadian Association of Petroleum producers (CAPP) expects that figure to climb to 3.5 million bpd by 2020. But the oilsands are facing a range of growing pains, including rising costs, shortages of natura gas and fresh water, and environmental impacts that may severely limit growth
