oil processing facility
Alberta oil sands. Alberta oil sands. After attending the Society for Conservation Biology's annual meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, several of us took a field trip to see the Alberta oil sands, one of the major oil deposits in Canada. We took a bus to a major processing plant and into one company's open pits (about 15km square in area and several hundred feet deep). Overall an awe-inspiring trip into the maw of the global industrial beast. This is a tiny portion of a multi-billion dollar processing facility.
