#0183;#32;Oil sands, tar sands, crude bitumen, or more technically bituminous sands, are a type of unconventional petroleum sands are either loose sands or partially consolidated sandstone containing a naturally occurring mixture of sand, clay, and water, soaked with a dense and extremely viscous form of petroleum technically referred to as bitumen.
The environmental impact of the oil sands is an issue that has been extremely divisive. As with the extraction and use of any fossil fuel, negative environmental effects arise as a result of the extraction, upgrading, and processing of bitumen from the oil sands. Although some steps are being taken to reduce the severity of these impacts such as reclamation there are still associated
The largest Canadian oil sands producer confirmed last week it has embarked on a oneyear pilot project involving the use of six 400tonne autonomous haulers in an isolated part of Suncor

Canadian Naturals oil sands mining portfolio includes its 70% operated working interest in the AOSP mines and 70% nonoperated interest in the Scotford Upgrader, located north of Edmonton. Combined, the two mines at the AOSP produce diluted bitumen via a paraffinic froth treatment process.
Surface mining is a technique used to obtain bitumen from oil sands where the oil sands deposits are located fairly close to the surface. If the reserves are shallow enough, earth moving equipment can dig out oil sand for processing. These deposits must be within 75 meters of the surface to be mined in this fashion. Resources recoverable by this type of extraction are estimated to be 65

Oil sands are a mixture of sand, clay, water, and bitumen that occur naturally. Bitumen is the fossil fuel component of this sand, and it is a very viscous oil that must be treated and upgraded before it can be used to produce useful fuels such as gasoline.. Oil sand deposits are found around the globe in the Middle East, Venezuela, Canada, the United States, and Russia.

Oil sands mining operations are some of the largest mines in the world. Although openpit oil sands mines have a lot in common with traditional hardrock mines (such as gold or copper), oil sands operators have some unique challenges due to the softness of the deposit. Learn more about surface mining techniques used in the oil sands.
Equipment must be able to sustain brutally cold winters, abraisive silica sand, sticky bitumen and unstable ground conditions. Although the very first commercial oil sands mining operations used technology borrowed from the coal mining industry, operators have long since evolved to truck and shovel mining, which is much more efficient and cost effective.
