1. Introduction. The Oil Sands deposits in northern Alberta are among the largest reserves of crude oil in the world. Surface mining and subsequent caustic hot water extraction of bitumen have contributed to the accumulation of large volumes of oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) in the Canadian Athabasca Oil Sands region Power shovels dig out the oil sands and load it into trucks which transport the oil sands to crushers that break up lumps and remove rocks. In a process called hydrotransport, the oil sand is mixed with water at either 35°C or 50°C, depending upon the mine, and is piped to the processing plant. During hydrotransport, the bitumen beginsFuture of Canadian Oil Sands Engineering and Project

Oil sands production in Alberta has rapidly expanded over the past decade, with growing concern about a range of environmental impacts. The production of bitumen, the molasses-like hydrocarbon that is mixed in the sand, has grown from 0.7 to 1.6 million barrels per day since 2000 and is expected to double over the next 10 years.The Company specializes in oil production with ancillary offerings in mining and sand remediation.

The Horizon Oil Sands include a surface oil sands mining and bitumen extraction plant, complemented by on-site bitumen upgrading with associated infrastructure to produce high quality SCO. In late 2017, the Phase 3 expansion was completed at Horizon, the final step in the Company’s transition to a long life low decline asset base.Surface Mining. Oil recovery in the oil sands uses two main methods: mining or in situ, depending on how deep the oil sands deposits are. Surface mining is used when oil sands deposits lie within 70 meters (200 feet) of the earth’s surface.
