5The Canadian Statesitan, Bowmanville, April 25, 1973 ~Athabasca Tar Sands Projc&C.t Outi ned to Bowman ville Lions' Tin these days of energy crises and increasing oul and gasoline prices, it's nice to know that Northern Al)eta lias a vast oil deposit the, size of Lake Mich- igan w,,hiçhi contains an estimat- ed 300 b)illion barrels of recov- erable oiI. This represents six Limes North Amnerica's proven il reserves of conventional oil. Hlowever, the guest speîaker at the Moda, pril tli, meeting of the Bowmaniville Lions Club explined that there are aï,e snags involved in exploiting the huge deposits. Hiowardt Maxwell, a represen- tatLive of the Great Canadian Oul Sandis companry, explained that the oul is locked in the A,ýthabasca Tar Sands, 250 miles niorth-east of Edmonton.' For those who aren't familiar with th4e oil sands, it is a deposit of quartz sand and dlay mixed wiha tar-like substance called Bitumnen. IL has been described as ]ooking ikýe a mixture of coff'ee grounds and nmolasses.

To date, Sun Oil bas poured a total of $300 million into the tar, sands projeet. GCOS bas made great strides towards turning the tar sands into a profit-making operation but, so far, the company is running an accum- ulated deficit of ovor $87 million. Maxwell indicated that the picture is not as gloomy as the' huge company deficit mig.ht suggest. GCOS is now producing oil at a rate of 50000 barrels of syntbetic crude per day. A further reason for optimism is the fact that GCOS bas steadily been cutting its annual lossos. In 1971, the companly's deficit was $8 million. Last year, tbe, losses amounted to '7only" $1 million. Costs Too High to Compte c An additional problem facedt by the oil company is thefact1 that, at current prices, syn-1 thetic crude ol, as is producedt from the tar sands, cannot compoteo with the price of convontionially-produced crude oil. The cost of extracting the oul from the tar sands is simply too high to make it economically competitive., However, the Al- berta government has been taking steps recently to in- crease oul prices and this move, if it succeeds, should help out the development of the tar> sands. Payroll $21 Million The centre of production for GCOS is the town of Fort McMurray, which bas a popula- tion 0f 8,000. Either directly or, indiroctly, 1,500 men and women receive a payroll which totals $21 million bocause 0f the operation of the GCOS project. It would probably be helpful to give a capsule description of exactly wliat happons at GCOS. The tar sands are mined, using basically an open pit method.' The "overburden" is first reinoved and then the tar sand is' mined using bucket wheel excava tors. On an average day, 15,000 tons of tar sand are pulod out of the mine. A six foot wije conveyor boIt, wich totals over a mile in longtb, carnies tbe tar sand to a separation plant whero the sand is rinsed out of the bitumon.'The bitumon is then cbarged to the process facilities wliere it is convertedi to a ight, straw-col- ored liquid which is the syn- thetic crude il. The quality of their synthetic crude is unique, according to Mvaxwell. If is highly refined and can be- advantageously crude ol, into gasoline, jet fuel and other products. 0f particu- lar appeal is its sulphur-free characteristies, which make if very valuable from an ecologi- cal point of view. Despite /the fact that the GCOS project is just beginning to reach the break even point, after 10 long yoars of financial losses, the Sun Oul Company continues to supply the noces- sary finances to carry on the operation. Undoubtedly, the Athabasca tar sand deposits Iwill one day become a major supplier for an energy-bungry North America, in spite of the high costs1 and difficulties of' production. In Other Lions Affairs Following Mr. Maxwell's on- grossing discussion of the tar sands industry, Raîph ivMien- tyre gave a classification talk on fellow Lion Howard Jeffery.
