The Athabasca oil sands, also known as the Athabasca tar sands, are large deposits of oil sands rich in bitumen, a heavy and viscous form of petroleum, in northeastern Alberta, Canada. These reserves are one of the largest sources of unconventional oil in the world, making Canada a significant player in the global energy market.
Much of the Trans Mountain pipeline’s route lies within the territory of the Secwepemc Nation, which has never relinquished its land to the Canadian government by treaty, land sale, or surrender.

The main impediment to Canadian exports to Asia is pipeline capacity – The only pipeline capable of delivering oil sands production to Canada's Pacific Coast is the Trans Mountain Pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver, which is now operating at its capacity of 300,000 bbl/d (48,000 m 3 /d) supplying refineries in B.C. and Washington State.
The operator of the Keystone Pipeline System, which carries a form of crude oil from Canada to multiple states for refining, said over the weekend that its Largest-yet breach of Keystone Pipeline ...
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.
While overall Canadian oil production is likely to increase to 5.6 million bpd by 2035, lack of takeaway capacity is not expected to wane anytime soon. High Costs, Pipeline Shortage Spur Canadian ...
Pathways Alliance's major project is a potential $16.5 billion carbon capture and storage network to be constructed in northern Alberta. [4] As of May 2024, the proposed CCS network aims to capture CO2 emissions from over 20 oilsands facilities in northern Alberta and transport them via a 400-kilometer pipeline to an underground storage hub near Cold Lake.
