Frequently Asked Questions About Syncrude

(...)

Where does this oil come from?

Syncrude's crude oil is produced by upgrading a molasses-like substance 
called bitumen. The process involves mining, extracting and upgrading 
the bitumen contained in the Athabasca Oil Sand Deposit in northeastern 
Alberta. The deposit, where the Syncrude operation is located, is the 
world's largest single oil deposit, containing an estimated 1.6 trillion 
- 2.5 trillion barrels of bitumen.

How much oil is in Alberta's oil sands deposits?

Alberta's three oil sand deposits — Athabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace 
River — contain resources that could supply Canada's energy needs for 
more than 475 years, or total world needs for up to 15 years. The 
production potential of all the oil sand deposits could be as high as 
2.5 trillion barrels of bitumen (five times more than the conventional 
oil reserves in Saudi Arabia). The Athabasca deposit is twice the size 
of Lake Ontario.
