According to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, 2005 production of crude bitumen in the Athabasca oil sands was as follows:
Mr. John Richardson, <strong>tcca supplier</strong> in 1848, oil sands geological assessment on his way north to search Franklin lost expedition. Oil sands first government-sponsored survey began in 1875 by John McConnell, and in 1883, GC Hoffman Geological Survey of Canada tries to use water from oil sands bitumen separated, and reported that it be easily separated. In 1888, Dr. Robert Bell, Director of Geological Survey of Canada, a Senate committee's report "The evidence points in the Athabasca and Mackenzie Valley in the United States the most extensive oil fields exist, if not the world." In 1926, the University of Alberta, Dr. Carl Clark perfected the hot water separation process, as today's thermal extraction process foundation.
<strong>Anionic PAM</strong>.Achieved varying degrees of success, but it was the opening in 1967 of the Canadian oil sands big (now Suncor) plant using surfactants development, Dr. Earl W. Malm Berry during the separation of the first commercially feasible before the operation started several attempts Sunoco. Athabasca oil sands oil commercial production began in 1967, when the Great Canadian Oil Sands Limited (then a subsidiary of Sun Oil, but is now an independent company, known as Suncor Energy) opened its first a coal mine, the daily production of 30,000 barrels (4,800 M3 / d) of synthetic crude oil.
<strong>Poly Aluminium Chloride supplier</strong>.Development was inhibited, world oil prices, Syncrude consortium operates two mines, did not begin work until 1978, after the 1973 oil crisis sparked investor interest. However, oil prices subsided, although the 1979 energy crisis caused by oil prices peaked again, by Pierre Trudeau's national energy plan to introduce discourage foreign investment in Canada's oil industry. In the 1980s, oil prices dropped to a very low level in the oil industry caused considerable layoffs, a third mine, by the company Shell Canada, did not begin work until 2003. However, since 2003, as the oil price increases, existing mines have been greatly expanded, and is planning a new one.
