I can't prove that, but it seems like it takes a lot of BTUs to get a barrel of oil from 2 tons of rocks. Then the resultant oil needs a lot more BTUs of processing to be useable. I'll have to do some more calculations.

Yes, but how much are these companies paying for the natural gas they're using? And since they're right there in Alberta instead of thousands of miles away, there's no need to transport it over a long distance via pipeline.
