"A Gritty Proposition: An Introduction to the Alberta Oil Sands Industry and Related Materials Issues"
by John Wolodko
| Abstract: |
The Alberta Oil Sands constitute the second largest reserves of oil in the
world, and represent a significant resource for Canada and North America.
While people have heard about these “tar sands” in the news, relatively few
know what oil sands are and how the oil is extracted. This presentation provides
an overview and history of the oil sands industry including the different
methods used to produce the oil (bitumen), and the wide range of materials
issues encountered in this very aggressive environment.
