16 Dec 2016 The two largest oil sands deposits, in term of area and endowment of resources, are in Venezuela and Canada (Alberta), which alone account 29 Aug 2014 “I happen to be with a few friends in Alberta learning more about the Canadian Tar Sands, and it's impact on our climate, the way they affect the 25 Apr 2011 What to call Alberta's reserves is raising a fuss, but for wrong reason, research indicates. While it produces conventional oil, most comes from the Alberta oil sands, the world’s third largest proven oil reserve at 170 billion barrels. The oil sands are buried under forests in Alberta that are the size of Florida. The oil here doesn't come gushing out of the sand the way it does in the Middle East. The oil is in the sand. Alberta's oil sands has the third largest oil reserves in the world, after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. Alberta's oil sands’ proven reserves equal about 165.4 billion barrels (bbl). Crude bitumen production (mined and in situ) totalled about 2.8 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2017. The two most common ways of separate the oil from the sand in the Alberta Oil / Tar Sands is to boil it or put it under pressure while still in the ground. Oil that is buried too far down in the earth to extract from surface uses a process the industry calls SAGD.
Most of the world's oil sand resources are located in Alberta, Canada. The Alberta Energy and Utility Board estimates that these contain about 1.6 trillion barrels of oil - about 14% of all of the world's total oil resource. The largest deposit is the Athabasca Oil Sands [1].

The Oil Sands Of Alberta. By Daniel Schorn. January 20, 2006 / 1:33 PM / CBS. This story originally aired on Jan. 22, 2006. There's an oil boom going on right
Canada’s oil sands are found in three regions within Alberta and Saskatchewan: Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River, which combined cover an area more than 142,000 square kilometres (km2). Contrary to some exaggerated reports, the current active mining footprint is about 900 km2 – an area slightly larger than the City of Calgary. Oil Sands is a form of heavy oil found in sand and rock primarily in the Athabasca region of Northern Alberta, Canada.

The Alberta Energy and Utility Board estimates that these contain about 1.6 trillion barrels of oil - about 14% of all of the world's total oil resource. The largest deposit is the Athabasca Oil Sands [1]. Oil sands were the source of 62% of Alberta's total oil production and 47% of all oil produced in Canada. As of 2010, oil sands production had increased to over 1.6 million barrels per day (250,000 m 3 /d), where 53% of this was produced by surface mining and 47% by in-situ. The largest Canadian oil sands deposit, the Athabasca oil sands is in the McMurray Formation, centered on the city of Fort McMurray, Alberta. It outcrops on the surface (zero burial depth) about 50 km (30 mi) north of Fort McMurray, where enormous oil sands mines have been established, but is 400 m Oil sands are a loose sand deposit which contain a very viscous form of petroleum known as bitumen. Oil sands are actually found all over the world and are sometimes referred to as tar sands or bituminous sands. Alberta's oil sands contain on average about 10% bitumen, 5% water and 85% solids.
