Oil sands is one of the most if not the most expensive to extract and requires billions of gallons of freshwater.

Western Select sells for about $38 a barrel, quite a bit lower than world crude, and the oil sands companies make a profit. Something doesn't add up.

Billions of gallons of water that are recycled, and reused.



Recent upgrades brought them price parity with other methods of extraction: https://boereport.com/2019/05/01/co...duction-growth-ihs-markit-analysis-says/
