This includes a realistic identification of oil sands producers who have commercially viable projects, including greenfields, in the queue to support expanded pipeline egress capacity. A greenfield oil sands project refers to an entirely new development of a mining or in-situ oil sands project, rather than the expansion of an existing oil sands facility.
