Looks like you're right.
[This fact-sheet](https://sequestration.mit.edu/tools/projects/quest.html https://sequestration.mit.edu/tools/projects/quest.html ) lists the plant has intending a 35% capture-rate. And while that's a weirdly low target-(capture-rate), it doesn't seem hidden.
Looks like [a Canadian-government-hosted report from 2011](https://open.alberta.ca/publications/quest-carbon-capture-and-storage-project-report-2011 https://open.alberta.ca/publications/quest-carbon-capture-an... ) also includes this in the executive-summary:
> The purpose of the Quest Project is to deploy technology to capture CO2 produced at the Scotford Upgrader and to transport, compress and inject the CO2 for permanent storage in a saline formation near Thorhild, Alberta. Over one million tonnes of CO2 per year will be captured, representing greater than 35% capture of the CO2 produced from the Upgrader. Quest is a part of the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP), an oil sands joint venture operated by Shell and owned by Shell Canada, Chevron Canada and Marathon Oil.
So if they're capturing ~38.4% when they proposed "greater than 35% capture" to the government, then... that sounds kinda like they're doing what they said they'd do.
