Canada Oil Sands Overview

Canada’s oil sands resources exist in three major deposits in Alberta: Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River. Athabasca, the largest in size and resource, is home to the surface mineable region. All other bitumen must be produced in situ or by drilling. Currently, the vast majority of oil sands production is exported to U.S. markets.
