section is in area to a section;

(

b) the seismic lines must have a fold and a station and group

interval adequate to image the bitumen reservoir and the Devonian subcrop;

(

c) the seismic lines must be tied to the evaluation wells in a

manner and to an extent that the Minister considers adequate.

(5) Electromagnetic data referred to in subsection (3)(

d) must be obtained

in accordance with the following requirements:

(

a) the

section or part of a

section from which it is obtained must

be within an area that the Board has determined to be an area in which

surface mining is possible or must be approved by the Minister as a site

SCHEDULE 2

Formula for Determining Upgrader Credits

1 In this Schedule, "API" means the American Petroleum Institute.

2 The formula for determining upgrader credits is as follows:

UC = BI x 0.1 x AF

where

UC is the amount of upgrader credits expressed in hectares for a

year of a lease;

BI is the average barrels per day of feedstock bitumen inputted to

the upgrader during that year of the lease;

AF is the allocation factor determined by the level of upgrading

of bitumen during that year based on the difference in API gravity between

the feedstock bitumen and the upgraded product in accordance with the

following table:

TABLE

API Gravity Allocation

of Factor

Upgraded Bitumen

10ø or less 0.00

11ø 0.02

12ø 0.04

13ø 0.06

14ø 0.08

15ø 0.10

16ø 0.12

17ø 0.14

18ø 0.16

19ø 0.18

20ø 0.20

21ø 0.24

22ø 0.28

23ø 0.32

24ø 0.36

25ø 0.40

26ø 0.52

27ø 0.64

28ø 0.76

29ø 0.88

30ø or more 1.00

NOTE: The above Table assumes the API Gravity of the feedstock

bitumen is 10ø API or less. Where the gravity of the feedstock bitumen is

greater than 10ø API, credit is granted only for the incremental

improvement in gravity by subtracting the Allocation Factors for the

feedstock and upgraded bitumen respectively.

where

R% is the Crown's royalty share of ethane expressed as a

percentage of the ethane on which the royalty is payable;

SP is the new ethane select price or the old ethane select

price for the period in which the production month occurs, according to

whether the ethane is new ethane or old ethane;

natural gas recovered from that well event is the percentage of the ethane

that is quantities available for sale, calculated in accordance with the

following equation:

where

R% is the Crown's royalty share of the ethane

expressed as a percentage of the ethane on which the royalty is payable;

RC is the royalty rate that would apply for the

production month if the royalty were calculated under

section 2 of this

compensation payable to the Crown in respect of the Crown's royalty share

of ethane for a production month that is light-ends is nil.

Schedule 5 is amended

(

a) in the title by adding ", NEW ETHANE" after "NEW GAS";
