In 1962 (the same year the Great Canadian Oil Sands proposal went up for approval) Cities Service Athabasca Inc. proposed a 16,000 cubic metre per day plant at the site of its Mildred Lake pilot project. Including a pipeline to Edmonton, the plant was to cost $56 million, with construction beginning in 1965 and completion in 1968.
In 2006, bitumen production in Canada averaged 1.25 Mbbl/d (200,000 m 3 /d) through 81 oil sands projects. 44% of Canadian oil production in 2007 was from oil sands. [47] This proportion was (as of 2008) expected to increase in coming decades as bitumen production grows while conventional oil production declines, although due to the 2008 ...
This would mean that Canadian oil sands production would grow from 1.2 million barrels per day (190,000 m 3 /d) in 2008 to 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m 3 /d) in 2020, and that total Canadian oil production would grow from 2.7 to 4.1 million barrels per day (430,000 to 650,000 m 3 /d) in 2020.

A lot of people don't look favorably on crude oil produced in Alberta's oil sands. In addition to the fact that oil sands production spews greater quantities of greenhouse gases into the ...
Canadian oil sands may refer to: Athabasca oil sands. Peace River or Cold Lake where other bitumen deposits are located; Fort McMurray where the industry is located;
The Athabasca oil sands is the only large oil field in the world suitable for surface mining, while the Cold Lake oil sands and the Peace River oil sands must be produced by drilling. [14] With the advancement of extraction methods, bitumen and economical synthetic crude are produced at costs nearing that of conventional crude.
Great Canadian Oil Sands Limited was a Canadian heavy oil company that existed between 1953 and 1979. In 1962, GCOS received a permit from the Alberta government to build a 31,500 barrels-per-day synthetic crude plant in the Athabasca oil sands .
