SESSION SUMMARY: Several of the industry's first greenfield developments in over ten years are now taking shape. Some operators are approaching their initial sanction decision, others are in their first year of production, and some are already moving toward a second phase. This session brings together operators at each of those stages to discuss the business case behind their investment decisions, how capital is being allocated, and what early results are showing. The conversation will close with a look at what comes next; the conditions each company needs to see before committing to more, what continued expansion looks like, and whether the results so far are building the confidence to do it.

Selected updates on projects of particular interest, including:

• Athabasca Oil Corporation – Corner greenfield project Phase 1 and beyond

• Grizzly Oil Sands – Algar Phase 1 restart, and beyond

• Cardinal Energy – Reford 1 and beyond

• Verdant Resource Partners - Jakub Brogowski, CEO
