Oil sands
Also know as: Tar sands
Oil sands are deposits of oil in the form of small amounts of bitumen covering fine grains of sand. Oil sands are an unconventional source of oil production. It requires either mining of the sands and separation of the bitumen using hot water, or injection of steam into the wells in the oil sands deposits to free the bitumen so it can be pumped to the surface.
