The Athabasca oil sands are large deposits of bitumen, a heavy and unconventional oil found in Northern Alberta, Canada. These reserves are one of the largest sources of oil in the world, but extracting and processing bitumen is resource-intensive and has environmental implications.
the oil sands is found in Alberta and is a natural recourse! People often visits the oil sands to make an adventure and to learn more about the oil sands!!!

Western Oil Sands was created in 1975.
The population of Canadian Oil Sands is 2,008.
Canadian Oil Sands was created in 1978.
Oil sands are bad because when they make the oil sands into gasoline it causes a lot of pollution. It's good because The gasoline we make out of it makes Canada a lot of money since the oil sands are in Alberta, Canada.
Oil is extracted from tar sands by either surface mining or in-situ methods. In surface mining, the oil sands are dug up and transported to a processing facility where the oil is separated from the sand. In-situ methods involve injecting steam underground to heat the oil sands and then pumping the oil to the surface. Shale oil is extracted through a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. High-pressure fluids are injected into the shale rock to create fractures, allowing the oil to flow to the wellbore and be collected. The oil is then separated from the fracking fluid and other materials before being refined.
Bituminous sands are oil sands , tar sands and more tecnically they're an unconventional petroleum deposit . I hope I hlped you!!
Tar sands or oil sands are consist of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. Its bitumen content is extracted and separated to purify it into oil.
Tar sands are needed for their potential to produce oil, which can be refined and used in various applications such as transportation fuels and petrochemical products. However, the extraction and processing of tar sands can have significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction. Alternative energy sources and technologies are being developed to reduce the reliance on tar sands and other fossil fuels.
