Introduction The Athabasca oil sands of the McMurray formation in northeastern Alberta cover an area of about 21,000 sq miles and contain the world's largest reserve of economically recoverable oil. Fort McMurray, a small town in the heart of the oil-sands area, is about 235 air miles northeast of Edmonton.

Geology of the Athabasca Oil Sands
Science, 1980In-place bitumen resources in the Alberta oil sands are estimated at 1350 billion barrels. Open-pit mining and hot water extraction methods, which involve the handling of huge tonnages of earth materials, are being employed in the two commercial plants now operating.

Abstract Deep oil sand deposits may require shafts and tunnels either as access for in-situ oil methods or for direct mining, Only one tunnel, Saline Creek tunnel, has been constructed in oil sand to date (1978).

Sand Production in Oil Sand Under Heavy Oil Foamy Flow
Canadian International Petroleum Conference, 2002Abstract Sand production and foamy oil flow are the two key factors contributing the success in cold flow production in Alberta and Saskatchewan. However, two mechanisms have been treated and studied separately as geomechanics and multiphase flow problems, respectively.

Bitumen—sand interaction in oil sand processing
Fuel, 1995Abstract Bitumen—sand interaction was studied as a function of pH, particle size, temperature and solvent addition to bitumen. Sand particles can be easily detached from the bitumen surface at pH > 6.

Abstract Alberta’s oil sands hold almost all of Canada’s crude bitumen resources within one of the world’s largest deposits of extra heavy crude oil. Its established reserves of crude bitumen have been favorably compared with the conventional oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.

Northern Alberta's oil-sand deposits contain some 143 Gt (900 × 109 bbl) of bitumen from which at least 36 Gt (250 × 109 bbl) of marketable light ‘synthetic crude oil’ are expected to be ultimately producible. Representing Canada's largest potential ‘petroleum’ reservoir, and of a size large enough to be compared with the total recoverable oil reserves

THERMAL CRACKING MODELS FOR ATHABASCA OIL SANDS OIL
Proceedings of SPE Annual Fall Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1978Abstract The prime purpose of this work was to provide thermal cracking reaction models which can be incorporated into numerical simulators of thermal recovery processes for the Athabasca Oil Sands. processes for the Athabasca Oil Sands.

Alberta oil sands development conflict
2009 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2009A systems approach to integrative adaptive management of brownfields on Alberta's oil sands development sites is presented. In particular, the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is utilized to understand underlying development conflicts among stakeholders, which arise due to competing economic, environmental and societal objectives.

Depending on the context and discipline, the terms ‘clays’ or ‘clay’ may be used in three different ways: as a particle-size term, as a mineral term, and as a rock term (Moore, 1996). The field of oil-sands research makes no exception and various uses can be encountered in the literature, including terms such as ‘clay-sized minerals,’ ‘fine clays ...
