[33] As of 2010, oil sands production had increased to over 1.6 million barrels per day (250,000 m 3 /d) to exceed conventional oil production in Canada. 53% of this was produced by surface mining and 47% by in-situ techniques.
The development of which produced even more oil. The field was eventually determined to be 32 km (20 mi.) long and 6½ km (4 mi.) wide.
