The Athabasca oil sands, also known as the Athabasca tar sands, are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada – roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray.These oil sands, hosted primarily in the McMurray Formation, consist of a mixture of crude bitumen (a semi-solid rock-like form of crude oil), silica sand, clay minerals, and water.
The Athabasca Oil Sands Project is the latest fully integrated oil sands development in 25 years. Completed in early 2003, it now supplies over 10% of Canada’s oil needs. The project consists of two main components: The Muskeg River Mine, located 75km north of Fort McMurray, Alberta
