Oil Sand Overburden Characterization Within the Mine Area of Syncrude Lease No. 17 for Reclamation of Spent Oil Sand
Resource
Oil sand overburden materials within Syncrude Lease No. 17 were sampled and analyzed with the intent of isolating mineral materials overlying lean oil sand which may be useful in reclamation
Oil Sands Clay Fines: Can they be Reclaimed as Productive, Self-Sustaining Wetlands?
Resource
The Clark hot water process currently used for extracting bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands results in large volumes of clay fines containing small amounts of residual bitumen. One possible way of...
Oil Sands Development Contributes Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds to the Athabasca River and its Tributaries
Resource
For over a decade, the contribution of oil sands mining and processing to the pollution of the Athabasca River has been controversial. We show that the oil sands development is a greater source of...
Oil Sands Mining Reclamation Challenge Dialogue – Report and Appendices
Resource
While the Challenge Paper intended to focus on a few key aspects of the reclamation challenge for mining in the oil sands area, it ended up provoking a wide range of reactions
Oil Sands Rec1amation – An Overview of Suncor’s Program
Resource
Commercial production of synthetic crude oil from the Athabasca Oil Sands began in 1967 in north-eastern Alberta. Suncor Inc., then known as Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., began the development of...
