What I do know is American interest and our canadian government try to destroy the oil sands industry with disinformation. We in Alberta stand alone. # Alberta strong# Best province in Canada.
A couple of years ago i was invited for a interview to work here ( i am from Europe) and during the interview (which was not done in English) the interviewer's opinion was that my English was not good enough to start working here. Glad i wasn't.
Dilbut and heavy oil is nasty stuff. Nobody wants to pipe or handle that shit except the shipyards, ships burn that awful stuff in international waters. Great presentation, but not a lot of mention about those tailing ponds and what they contain (or don't).
I work fording coal elkford,bc 1980-88 suncor and syncrude visist all major mines in bc learn something.i visist suncor base plant in 1984 for help them.the report by fording coal include myself was going full scale with bigger trucks,shovels,dozer so on.the biggest problems was get access the major bank in wall street and bay street was not easy take long time.the war in kuwait1990-91 change everything.ralph klein was big plus too before ball start moving.😮
It’s a crying shame that all that planning, investment, efficiency, care of the planet, and genius is now threatened by the impossible “net zero” goal.
It's a dirty messy process but, as long as the producers are required to set aside the resources to fund the end of life cleanup of their sites, I don't have an issue with this specific production process. A lot of manufacturing is smelly and ugly. Just clean it up after. Don't let firms make millions in the market then declare bankruptcy in hard market times and walk away from poor producing sites and form a new numbered company to start over elsewhere. The global carbon issue is a whole other topic that needs a deeper dive.
Then why does Canada fack.their people over in taking.so much tax money from them. If it get trillions of dollars from it where is my shear of that money, jut yet I get facked over it. If it is the third largest ehy are our facken gas prices so damn high? Fack the oils and fack the dirty government.
No mention of how much natural gas and water are used in the of oil sands process. No mention of the tailing ponds and destruction of the landscape. How do you think they make the steam stupid.
I’m no math, science, bill nye the science guy. But she said (1800 billion bbls in the ground, we only use 1 bbls (2/3 of canadas usage in a year) wouldn’t that mean we are good for another 1800 years?? Seems decent
In Persia or Iran a liter gas costs 3 - 4 cents. Can you see what criminals the Western oil companies and governments are ? Its heavily subsidized in Iran, but a worldmarket price of 20 - 30 cents a liter is possible and fuck the tax and fuck the government.
forgot to mention. like the propaganda. i've been alberta a lot of years and it was always tarsand since it's inception. bitumen is tar, not oil. look it up.
The EROI of tar sands is low. In the grand scheme of things mining and refining tar sands is a net-energy sink. Throwing energy onto this futile endeavor is dangerous for the species, as we will lack the energy to build ourselves out of this energetic bottleneck with the renewables. There simply is a thermodynamic limit to when oil production becomes pointless, even if there are many more reserves left, *there won’t be the energy to reach them*
Stop calling it "oil sand", it's bitumen, aka tar, tar sand. It takes a hell of a lot of work to make oil from tar sand. If it were oil sand, we wouldn't need the companies doing the extraction and purification and it wouldn't be so damaging to the environment and northern Alberta wouldn't look like post apocalyptic wasteland.
Fireflooding on bitumen production is key technology to develop deep resources and increase reserves more than estimated based on SAGD. Injecting air or enriched oxygen will improve the economics on bitumen extraction, decrease natural gas used and water use, will decrease capital expenditure and will partly upgrade bitumen. So using fire flood technology will save more than 2.5 billion scf natural gas from industry and reduce emission of CO2 and methane significantly. More insights about fire flooding benefit can be provided to industry and Oil Sand Magazine on request.
Peter lougheed change everything in oilsands due he knew regular oil wells was going down in production.he spend lots money in field to bring production best equipment buy on that time.now we have new field running full production.open pit still cheap on production but sagd will take over in future.😊
all that free nat gas they gave to the american companies who came here. pretty hard to fail when you didn't pay for the energy for the steam for years. my power delivery rates still subsidize tarsand today giving carbon offsets for cogeneration i'm paying for. you'd think tarsand would give back what it steals. 🤣
So, the companies that mine and refine bitumen are exactly like the individuals who harvest and refine coca leaves... They parisite a living off society by selling a naturally occuring compound that is used out of context. I guess dealing drugs is no worse than dealing crude oil, in fact, the drugs only kill people, the burning of fossil fuels kills every living thing. Choose your addictions carelessly at your own peril. This crude oil addiction is the great filter event that humanity failed to see. Well done hominid, your greed and lust for power over others has killed us all...
The end product is petcoke and using petcoke for Iron reduction two valuable rare earths elements are produced that's Vanadium and nickel its extracted from Iron slags .The Canadians are using natural gas to create steam why not use nuclear power for this purpose and all of contaminated water to cleaned using RO plants at the moment Canadians are dumping dirty water into lagoons. God help us if Manitobeans get 3 weeks of storms and those lagoons bursting its bank a nightmare to worry.
The oil sands do not belong to Canada. They are privately owned. None of those experiments to extract oil from the tar sand are true. They are fabricated. I know for sure because fracking was not invented until 2008.
@@donaldharlan3981 My friend, you must be aware that everybody has google at their finger tips, right? Your first post was ridiculous. I have no words to describe your second post.
Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
Carbon is PLANT FOOD which they inhale and exhaust 02 oxygen which you inhale and breathe out C02. So the Liberals are changing you a TAX ON BREATHING!! Also we eat plants so NO PLANTS NO FOOD. Ask Guilbeault what are we going to eat?? Also cows, sheep and goats eat plants.
The anti oil people are mentally ill - indoctrinated. Oil sands projects are environmental cleanups. This oil exists in the earth regardless if we use it or not. GO UP THERE! You will see oil percolating up from the ground everywhere this will happen FOREVER unless we clean it up.

My Dad set up the Shell 1967 extraction when he worked for Shell as production manager for western Canada. He used to complain that the other Shell engineers had little interest, he could not get the ball rolling with little interest from other Shell people. This 1967 Shell facility was shut down. With a lot of conventional oil available it was a struggle. Dad used to tell the Shell executives he would take them fishing and hunting to try to get them up to Ft. Mac to visit. this is almost 80 years ago, my Dad is now 97; I took him out to lunch 2 weeks ago. Now it's 2.5 million barrels a day
