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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Mining or excavation oil sand to produce bitumen is really effective technology because these achieve high coefficient on bitumen recovery. This old technology has improvement during decades, but a) is capital intensive, b) cost intensive, c) energy intensive and emission intensive, d) water use intensive even the water partly is reused, e) tailing ponds need decades reclamation, f) pollution and land disturbance harms habitat and humans. Industry has the highest emission and highest cost, but has advantages when bitumen are upgraded. The mining technology used on industry must phase out many operations, starting from excavation, crushing and other processes. The bitumen must be and can be produced underground without disturbing the environment and without tailing ponds. Keep only upgrading plants which must increase the API of bitumen produced from underground.
