Alberta Athabasca Oils Sands Location (Wikipedia) The Athabasca oil sands (colloquially known as the Athabasca tar sands, although there is no tar present) are large deposits of bitumen, or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada - roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray. These oil sands, hosted in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen (a semi-solid form of crude oil), silica sand, clay minerals, and water. The Athabasca deposit is the largest reservoir of crude bitumen in the world and the largest of three major oil sands deposits in Alberta, along with the nearby Peace River and Cold Lake deposits. Together, these oil sand deposits lie under 141,000 square kilometres (54,000 sq mi) of sparsely populated boreal forest and muskeg (peat bogs) and contain about 1.7 trillion barrels (270×10^9 m3) of bitumen in-place, comparable in magnitude to the world's total proven reserves of conventional petroleum. Although the CEO of Shell Canada, Clive Mather, estimates Canada's reserves to be 2 trillion barrels or more, essentially 8 times more than Saudi Arabia, the IEA (International Energy Agency) lists Canada's reserves as being 178 billion barrels.  With modern unconventional oil production technology, at least 10% of these deposits, or about 170 billion barrels (27×10^9 m3) were considered to be economically recoverable at 2006 prices, making Canada's total proven reserves the second largest in the world, after Saudi Arabia's. The Athabasca deposit is the only large oil sands reservoir in the world which is suitable for large-scale surface mining, although most of it can only be produced using more recently developed in-situ technology......PLEASE CLICK HERE TO KEEP ON EDUCATING YOURSLEF OF the entire history to date of Athabasca Oils Sands in Alberta, Canada... .....FOR TRUTH ABOUT OILSAND.... truth of past, present and future to serve humanity in a land of fully democratic governed citizenry....

(Prof. Leach writes a popular energy, climate and oilsands blog...) ......Ethics of Canadian oil companies overseas challenged.... .....U of A professor tells industry group to come clean..... (From: Edmonton Journal, Alberta, Canada: September 22, 2011: By Mike De Souza, Postmedia News: © Copyri© Copyright (c) The Edmonton Journal) A University of Alberta economics professor has challenged a pro-oilsands industry group, endorsed this week by members of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet, to come clean on Canadian companies that are running operations in "conflict" regions of the world. "I think it's a question worth raising," said Andrew Leach, an associate professor of natural resources, energy and environment at the Alberta School of Business.     "The whole ethical oil (argument) has pushed this stuff too far." Leach, who writes a popular energy, climate and oilsands blog, said he could only name one company in the sector, Cenovus, that has no operations in any of the undemocratic states that are being criticized in advertising sponsored by the group, which calls itself ethicaloil.org. The pro-oilsands organization has recently been targeted by legal threats from the Saudi Arabian government, which warned some Canadian media outlets not to run the ads which blasted the oil-rich nation's record on women's rights.   But Leach said many major companies in the oilsands, including CNRL, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Marathon, hell, Suncor and Total, have their own operations in areas that the marketing campaign would describe as "conflict regions" such as Nigeria, Libya, Iran or Yemen. While federal cabinet ministers Jason Kenney and Joe Oliver both defended the advertising and criticized the Saudi Arabian government this week, Leach warned that the message could also cause headaches for the Canadian producers that have activities overseas. "This is an uneasy thing, I expect, for the companies and for (the industry association) and others, which is why you haven't seen too much engagement on this front," Leach said. A spokesman from the Oil Sands Developers Group, an industry association, could not immediately be reached for comment, but Alykhan Velshi, a former aide to Kenney who now writes the ethicaloil.org blog, suggested that these overseas operations should not damage the reputation of the Canadian product. "Our campaign isn't about any one particular company, it's about the product," aid. "Look, there are publicly traded companies that operate in Canada in all sorts of industries that have shareholders from across the world and that doesn't taint the product itself. So for example, (if there is) a Chinese individual who owns shares in a private highway, that doesn't change the fact that it's a Canadian highway." Climate change scientists and academies of science from ever major country in the world say that human activity, mainly through the consumption of fossil fuels such as oil - regardless of where it's from - is dramatically changing the composition of the atmosphere, provoking changes in weather patterns that are causing damage to both ecosystems and the economy. But statistics compiled by Environment Canada show that greenhouse gas pollution from oilsands companies, which require an energy-intensive production process, have jumped 300 per cent since 1990, exceeding those of all cars on Canadian roads, not including light-duty trucks, and cancelling out reductions in emissions from other sectors. The latest federal data also shows that the oilsands producers are no longer reducing the pollution per barrel of oil produced, contradicting claims made in a separate industry-sponsored marketing campaign. Melissa Melissa Blake, mayor of Wood Buffalo, who is featured in the ads sponsored by the pro-oilsands group, has said she was never asked for permission and was not pleased about the campaign. She has urged all sides in the debate to stop exaggerating their claims and deal with the facts about the pros and cons of development. .....and to all who reads the above here is more Knowledge on different evolving forms of Truth from some very wise brand names in known current human history....
