Weekend watch: Bechtel video of the history of the early days of the oil sands
This video popped up on my YouTube feed, and it is definitely worth the 40 minutes or so to watch. It’s about the earliest history of the oil sands, and concludes with the opening of the first major oil sands plant by Sun Oil Company Ltd., which is now Suncor, Canada’s largest oil producer. It was known as the Great Canadian Oil Sands Project, at Tar Island, north of Fort McMurray.

Indeed, it is a critical component for future plans for carbon capture, utilization and storage for this province, with a major expansion in the works.

And the scope of these initiatives keeps getting bigger and bigger.
