It is expected that successful development of unconventional light oil (ULO) reservoirs will allow for significant growth in oil production in Western Canada, reversing a trend in recent history of declining conventional oil production. New technology, such as multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs), has enabled commercial production from some of Western Canada's ULO plays. There remain, however, significant challenges to the optimal development of these plays related to the poor understanding of fluid storage and transport mechanisms and their controls.

预计非常规轻质油（ULO）油藏的成功开发将使加拿大西部的石油产量大幅增长，扭转近年来常规石油产量下降的趋势。 多裂缝水平威尔斯（MFHW）等新技术已使加拿大西部一些ULO区块实现了商业化生产。然而，这些区块的最佳开发仍然存在重大挑战，这与对流体储存和运输机制及其控制的认识不足有关。
