the above estimated quantity of net proved bitumen reserves is a forward-looking statement and is based on a number of assumptions , including ( among others ) commodity prices , volumes in-place , presently known physical data , recoverability of bitumen , industry economic conditions , levels of cash flow from operations , and other operating considerations .
to the extent these assumptions prove inaccurate , actual recoveries could be different than current estimates .

prior to our acquisition of western , the first fully-integrated expansion of the existing aosp facilities was approved in 2006 .
expansion 1 , which includes construction of mining and extraction facilities at the jackpine mine , expansion of treatment facilities at the existing muskeg river mine , expansion of the scotford upgrader and development of related infrastructure , is anticipated to begin operations in late 2010 or 2011 .
when expansion 1 is complete , we will have more than 50000 bpd of net production and upgrading capacity in the canadian oil sands .
the timing and scope of future expansions and debottlenecking opportunities on existing operations remain under review .
during 2008 , the alberta government accepted the project 2019s application to have a portion of the expansion 1 capital costs form part of the muskeg river mine 2019s allowable cost recovery pool .
due to commodity price declines in the year , royalties for 2008 were one percent of the gross mine revenue .
commencing january 1 , 2009 , the alberta royalty regime has been amended such that royalty rates will be based on the canadian dollar ( 201ccad 201d ) equivalent monthly average west texas intermediate ( 201cwti 201d ) price .
royalty rates will rise from a minimum of one percent to a maximum of nine percent under the gross revenue method and from a minimum of 25 percent to a maximum of 40 percent under the net revenue method .
under both methods , the minimum royalty is based on a wti price of $ 55.00 cad per barrel and below while the maximum royalty is reached at a wti price of $ 120.00 cad per barrel and above , with a linear increase in royalty between the aforementioned prices .
the above discussion of the oil sands mining segment includes forward-looking statements concerning the anticipated completion of aosp expansion 1 .
factors which could affect the expansion project include transportation logistics , availability of materials and labor , unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions , delays in obtaining or conditions imposed by necessary government and third-party approvals and other risks customarily associated with construction projects .
refining , marketing and transportation refining we own and operate seven refineries in the gulf coast , midwest and upper great plains regions of the united states with an aggregate refining capacity of 1.016 million barrels per day ( 201cmmbpd 201d ) of crude oil .
