Show Canadian Oil Reserve Harnessed by Science Ten thousand square miles of prehistoric, mineral-rich oil sands in Alberta, Canada, will provide the United Nations with huge quantities of oil. Experimental production has been in effect for more than a year at Mc-Murray, Mc-Murray, 300 miles northeast of Edmonton. Photos show (left) conveyor belts carrying oil sands to the separation separa-tion plant where, through flotation, hot water washes oil free from sand. Right: "Black gold" flows freely through the pipeline after the separation process is completed. , |
