    Tar sands are a combination of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. As a type of unconventional petroleum deposit, tar sands are found in many places worldwide, the largest deposits are found in Alberta, Canada. The Alberta tar sand deposits contain more than 70.8% of the world 's reserves of natural bitumen which representing 40% of the world’s combined extra-heavy crude oil and crude bitumen reserves. It is the only bitumen deposits that are economically recoverable for conversion to synthetic crude oil at the price range of $25-$35 per barrel. Although substantial amount of the world 's oil is in the form of tar sands, it is not all recoverable. Study shows that the world’s total natural bitumen reserves are estimated at 249.67 billion barrels, Canada maintains 176.8 billion barrels. Northern Alberta’s 173 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen requires intensive processing to convert to synthetic crude oil. However, there are serious social, economical and environmental consequences in the tar sands development. By grading the Alberta tar sands development on each of the six measures of Enlightened Sustainability Policy, this report will provide a detailed evaluation of the overall sustainability of the Alberta tar sands development.…

    The Alberta Oil Sands Reserve is one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon deposits ever discovered, second only to Saudi Arabia. Due to the impact on the environment, the mining of this unconventional oil resource has been mired in controversy. With the onset of the 2008 global fiscal crisis and plummeting world oil prices, many economists and environmentalists alike began predicting a moratorium of further Oil Sands development. This paper explores firstly, the economic and political underpinnings that secure Oil Sands’ continued development and secondly, a comparative case study of oil wealth management with another oil economy, Norway.…

    For example, The Taiga Plains had absolutely no farmland in 1971, and even in 2011 the ecozone remained an outlier with only 8 930 acres. In comparison, the ecozone with the second smallest amount of farmland, The Pacific Maritime, had 158 831 acres, which is about 19 times larger than the amount of farmland in The Taiga Plains. The Taiga Plains occupy a large portion of Canada's Northwest Territories and small parts of eastern Yukon, northern Alberta, and northeastern British Columbia. The ecozone is notorious for having cool, short summers and harsh, long winters.…

    Alberta's Oil Sands

    • 424 Words

    The oil sands were formed in a pretty complex way.The oil was formed in source rocks, then continued pressure from overlying rock forced the oil through permeable rock layers until it was trapped in reservoirs of sedimentary rock. As years passed, more then a kilometre of sedimentary rock covered the sediments including the oil. About 50 million years ago, huge amounts of liquid hydrocarbons moved the oil-bearing sediments eastward and upward until they reached large areas of sandstone at Northern Alberta. You would find these oil sands in three major areas in northeast Alberta. The oil sands resource is huge, about the size of Florida!…

    I have a hard time believing that drilling for new sources of oil within our own land is a good idea because water, wind, and solar energy are cleaner to harvest. Although the initial investment is expensive, it is rather cheap to maintain and collect the energy from clean sources. Instead of having to search for oil, it would be simpler to find places to begin harvesting energy from existing rivers, fields, rooftops. I do not want to consider the alternative of drilling in new places because of all of the risks in entails.…
