Bituminous sands in Alberta, commonly referred to as oil sands, are a type of unconventional petroleum deposit that contains a mixture of sand, clay, water, and bitumen—a thick, viscous form of crude oil. These deposits are primarily located in the Athabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace River regions. The extraction and processing of bitumen from these sands are significant for Alberta's economy, contributing to energy production and employment, but they also raise environmental concerns due to the ecological impact and greenhouse gas emissions associated with extraction and refining processes.
