SUGAR LAND--January 2, 2014--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Alberta has seen a tremendous boom in oil production since the huge reserves of bitumen, also known as tar or oil sands, have become economical to extract. As with most new plays, the problem now faced by producers is getting that oil to market. With more markets opening up to Alberta crude oil, pipelines headed east, west and south are giving producers plenty of options in choosing a market.
