Large-scale oilsands mining and upgrading operation near Fort McMurray.

The Albian Oil Sands Project, located approximately 75 kilometers north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, is a significant component of Canada's oil sands industry. It comprises the Muskeg River Mine and Jack Pine Mine, which extract bitumena heavy form of crude oilfrom oil sands deposits. The extracted bitumen is transported to the Scotford Upgrader near Edmonton, where it is processed into synthetic crude oil. Initially developed as part of the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP), Albian Sands has undergone changes in ownership and operations over the years. In 2017, Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) acquired a majority stake in AOSP, becoming the operator of the mines. The project utilizes advanced technologies, such as Paraffinic Froth Treatment (PFT), to enhance bitumen extraction and processing efficiency. Albian Sands plays a crucial role in Canada's energy sector, contributing significantly to the country's oil production.
