Permian Basin Proppants Inc - Oil sands extraction is the process of removing oil sand from the ground and extracting bitumen from it. This bitumen is later upgraded into a synthetic crude oil that can be separated into usable fractions through fractional distillation. There are two main methods that can be used to extract bitumen from this oil sand.
Currently, 20% of oil sands reserves are accessible via mining techniques. Large shovels scoop the oil sand into trucks which then move it to crushers where the large clumps of the earth are processed. Once the oil sand is crushed, hot water is added so it can be pumped to the extraction plant.
