No one is certain of how this toxic brew will ever be disposed of. If less water was used in the refining process, less gas would be In fact, many of the oil sands found in the U.S. are “hydrocarbon wetted”, and thus require an alternate bitumen extraction process. See this video tutorial from Syncrude on producing oil from oil sands: EXTRACTION VIDEO THE PROCESS - SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT. Unlike oil sands deposits in the Athabasca region, bitumen contained within Utah's oil sands do not easily separate from the sand using just hot water. The company uses a proprietary citrus-based bio-solvent to extract the bitumen, eliminating the need for large volumes of water or tailings ponds. Conditioning starts the process of separating sand and bitumen and breaks apart any large pieces of oil sands. The oil sand is mixed with warm water-- called a slurry-- and transported by pipeline to an extraction facility. Here, the slurry is put through a separation process where sand sinks to the bottom and impure bitumen froth rises to the
Many are being affected by the oil sands’ development, suffering consequences that range from land rights or health issues to loss of livelihood. One example is a legal challenge by the Beaver Lake Cree Nation that maintains the boom in tar sands extraction is destroying their hunting and fishing lands. They say that caribou, elk, moose, deer

But since 2009, our Energy Solutions team has been developing a new process to help extract heavy oil from oil sands. Our efforts have initially focused on Canada, which has some of the world's largest oil sands deposits. "Traditionally, oil sands producers have used steam to heat oil buried deep Can Canada develop its climate leadership and its lucrative oil sands too? They contain a toxic slurry of heavy metals and hydrocarbons from the bitumen separation process. but extracting
12 Feb 2020 Oil has made Alberta one of the wealthiest regions in North America, but the process of extracting petroleum from oil sands releases an
Video of Learn about the environmental impact of tar-sand (also called oil-sand) extraction, with a focus on Canada. The oil industry uses between three and six barrels of water to extract a single barrel of oil from the sands. The refineries already guzzle twice as much water as the city of Calgary and its 1.3 million inhabitants.

19 Feb 2013 Tar sands retrieved by surface mining has an EROI of only about 5:1, But its supply of conventional oil is shrinking, and oil sands extraction
Suncor’s Upgrading operations process bitumen into higher-value synthetic crude oil and diesel fuel using two upgraders at its oil sands site in Fort McMurray. Suncor also operates upgrading assets at its Edmonton refinery. Suncor produces bitumen in two ways: Surface mining. We use large trucks and shovels to extract the oil sands. Oil sands slurry produced in the Slurry Preparation Plant (SPP) contains about 50-55% sand and less than 10% bitumen. The purpose of Extraction is to recover the bitumen portion, while rejecting the heavy solids. This is achieved through a simple water-based gravity separation process, most of which Many are being affected by the oil sands’ development, suffering consequences that range from land rights or health issues to loss of livelihood.

Suncor's Oil Sands plant, located north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Suncor's primary extraction plants separate raw bitumen from the sand in giant separation cells. Mining methods have changed since the launch of the first large-scale mine, with Great Canadian Oil WhitePapers Press Releases Regional Offices Video.
7 Jan 2015 The oil sands are a mixture of sand, clay, water and extra heavy oil. Extraction is, however, a complex operation that raises For deposits deeper than 100 meters, which is the case for 80% of Canada's oil sands, thermal methods are used. Steam is Videos The Arctic Ocean's Oil and Gas Deposits. 12 Jan 2017 If all the oil sands were extracted in Alberta, the emissions would be Fracking is a method of drilling that allowed energy companies to access
Oil Sands is a form of heavy oil found in sand and rock primarily in the Athabasca region of Northern Alberta, Canada. Learn more about oil sands and all types of energy at www.studentenergy.org
