4.  Type of unconventional
petroleum deposit
 Mixtures of sand, clay, and
water, saturated with a dense
and extremely viscous form of
petroleum

6. Extraction of oil
Transported to initial refinery
Hot water treatment
Oil mixture part waste part
Final refinery

7.  Biggest producer of
conventional crude oil, synthetic
crude, natural gas and gas products in
Canada
 12% of total global oil reserves
 Great impact on the economy of the
Alberta and Canada
 Transportation to USA, China

8. Benefits to the Albertans and Canadians
 Highest economic growth in Canada
 1,36,000 people are getting job
 Increased job opportunities
 New 4, 50,000 jobs in the next 25 years
 10 per cent of the oil sands workforce is
Aboriginals
 Easier and cheaper access to petroleum products
 Improve the quality of life
 lowest tax in Canada

9.  Contracts of millions of dollars
 Industry is growing
 1.9 billion revenue- year of 2009-10
 Contracts with Aboriginal companies
was $810 million investment
 Upcoming years the investment will
reach up to$ 215 billion
 Decrease unemployment level
 Profit utilization in other sectors

10.  Exceptionally large quantity of water
 Climate change and uncontrollable pollution
 One-third of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas
Emissions (GHGs)
 Large-scale spatial disturbances to boreal
forest-deforestation, habitat fragmentation,
and species loss
 Housing costs are growth upwards
 Social services- not enough to meet the
necessities of population

11.  Distribution of benefits has been jagged
 Influence on Wildlife and marine life
 Northern American tribes affected

12.  The extraction in the Arabian Gulf has its own
concerns regarding the demand and supply but
has not raised major concerns over global
warming.
 The resources it takes for the extraction of oil in
the gulf needs far less resources compared to the
one followed in Alberta. And the major extraction
is done in deserted parts and does not contribute
to the elimination of forest lands.
 But the major rising concern would be that of
exaggerating the remained oil resources by
nearly 40% to possibly avoid losing supply
contracts and economy meltdown.

13. Alberta Gulf
Reserve 175 billion barrels 265 billion barrels
GDP 30% of total 45% of total
Method of extraction Surface mining Drilling
SAGD
Form of oil Tar sand mud
Area of operation Forest, lakes deserts
Environmental impact high low
Use of resources for High ( water and gas) Low
oil production
Effect on wild life and very serious Not significant
human life
Effect on marine life high Absolutely zero

14.  In response to the petitions filed against the
oil extraction in Alberta, the mayor of the
province responded rather unconvincingly.
 The statement issued stated that under a
certain timeline, all the forest land would be
restored and the cost of extraction would be
reduced.
 The restoration never took off and the
timeline proposed was 2050, by which time
the environmental scenario will be altered
completely.

15.  “STOP THE TARSANDS” campaign

16. 1. Consumption of water and gas
 3-5 barrels of fresh water to one barrel of
oil
 Water per day = 2 millions people
 600 million cubic feet of Natural gas= three
million Canadian homes
 Excessive amount of energy used

17.  Over 141 mega tones of GHG = twice
that produced by all the cars and
trucks in Canada
 Climate changes

19.  Contaminated capital of Canada, with one
billion kilograms of emissions
 Large-scale spatial instability to
Alberta’s northern boreal forest.
 Lakes of mining waste (170 square
kilometers) = flood Washington, D.C. or
downtown Vancouver.
 Temporary and localized emission -sulfur
dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide

20.  Experiencing unparalleled rates of bile and
colon cancer, lupus and other disease
 Respiratory diseases
 Benzene, toluene, xylene and formaldehyde
- pose health risks to residents and project
employees

21.  Most targeted Question of “STOP THE TAR
SANDS” campaign is who is the user of oil?
 70% - USA
 What is the benefit for Canadians?

22.  World's leading seven companies
(ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Sinopec, Petro China,
Total and Chevron)- $180-billion on the
resource in upcoming 20 years
 Expand oil extraction from 1.6 million
barrels a day to more than 3 million barrels
 Communal services, including health care,
crime prevention and education at low level
 Higher damage to eco-system and humans

23.  Rush to set up pipelines for supply. Why?
 To catch up opportunity
 prospect competition
 Will lead to unwarranted risk and promised
danger

24.  As their cost of production and cost of
pollution control is too high
 The net effect is Less money profit+ Pollution
+ Damage to environment

25.  Suppose you are the CEO or the CHIEF
head of the Alberta oil industry
 You have analyzed both the merits
and the demerits
 Now, you are in ethical dilemma
 What will you do?
