Alberta oil sands: a new source for oil

THE petroleum-drenched sands of Alberta (Canada) are going to be the greatest oil deposits of North America in future, according to a recent international press report.

At a time, when world oil output is lagging behind the global demand for oil and security concerns hinder efforts to increase crude oil production, the aforesaid deposits offer a silver lining in the cloud and may attract major oil producers interested in making money by separating oil from earth.
