Canadians have innovated in the ways that oil is extracted. The way we choose to extract oil has environmental impacts. G – Oil. Visitors will understand basic information about the different types of oil, where oil is found in Canada and the historic importance of this natural resource. G1 L1 (module title) Oil G1 L1 text (module introduction) Canada has the third largest reserves of crude oil in the world. We rely on oil for many of our daily products, as well as for transportation.
Visitor Experiences: G1 Introduction and history of oil in Canada. Provides visitors with basic information that they need to understand this module and place current developments in historical context. G1-1 Basic information. Visitors will learn about where we find oil, and how we extract it. G1-1-1 L2 title: What is oil? G1-1-1 L2 text: Oil or petroleum is a natural mixture made up of carbon, hydrogen, sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen and very small amounts of metals. It may be mixed with natural gas, carbon dioxide, saltwater and sand. The word petroleum describes crude oil – coming from the Latin words ‘petra’ (rock) and ‘oleum’ (oil). G1-1-2 L2 title: How was oil formed? G1-1-2 Prop: Fossil of sea creatures (if we can locate it in the warehouse) G1-1-2 Prop caption: Since the late 19th century most geologists have agreed that petroleum formed from organic matter of plant and animal origin that was buried in sediments with little oxygen. Heat and pressure transformed the material into hydrocarbons. G1-1-2 L3 text: After petroleum was formed, it migrated through permeable rocks and was trapped within the rocks, gaps in rock layers, or it seeped to sand or surface. G1-1-3 L2 title: What are the types of oil reserves? (30 words each for the following) G1-1-3 L2 text: Conventional Oil: Conventional oil describes the type of oil deposits that contain oil, which is in a liquid form at atmospheric pressure and temperature, and either naturally seeps to the surface or can be extracted through drilling without being heated or diluted. Offshore Oil: Large reserves of crude oil are found in rock beneath the ocean floor. Oil Sands: Bituminous sands, or as they are often called, oil sands are mixtures of sand, water, clay and crude bitumen. In oil sands, the petroleum moved to the surface and saturated large areas of sand. At first the grains were saturated in crude oil, but bacteria fed on some lighter chemicals and left behind viscous and heavy oil, called bitumen. Now, each oil sand grain has three layers: a grain of sand, a coat of water surrounding the grain, and a film of bitumen surrounding the water. G1-1-4 L2 title: What type of oil does Canada have? G1-1-4 L2 text: In Canada, as well as around the world the production of oil from conventional reserves has been on the decline and continues to decline. 97% of Canada’s total reserves, are found in oil sands. Alberta holds approximately 97% of Canadian total proven reserves. Canada has the 3rd largest reserves of crude oil in the world, after Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. G1-2 History of oil arranged around images and objects telling specific stories. G1-2 L2 Title: Developing Canada’s expertise in oil. G1-2 L2 Text: Even though it may seem that the discussion on oil sands is very recent, we have been extracting oil, conventional and from oil sands, for a very long time (including indigenous communities). Arrange around objects and images: (Each object/image caption – 20 words, each date 10 words) G1-2 -1 - a scan of a page from James Knight, Factor of York Fort (HBC archive) 1714 James Knight, Factor of York Fort, writes in his Journal that Aboriginal people told him of a “great river” far inland where “there is a certain gum or pitch that runs down the banks of a river (the Athabasca) in such abundance that they cannot land but at certain places”; first report by a European of the oil sands deposits in Western Canada. (copy of his journal page?) G1-2-2 Image from Oil spring and Petrolia Image caption: 1851 – Charles Tripp starts exploiting oil wells in Oil Spring, Ontario.

Artifact no. 2015.0287 1915 Sidney Ells, an engineer with the Federal Department of Mines, proposes first industrial use for bitumen. His ideas lead to the first asphalt paved roads in Canada. Small sections of road are paved in Edmonton, Ottawa, Jasper, and Camrose. 1925 Karl Clark of the Alberta Research Council demonstrates the first separation method using hot water and caustic soda, which is a bases of future extraction technologies. 1927 Entrepreneur R.C. Fitzsimmons uses the process to produce bitumen for roofing and road surfacing at a plant north of Fort McMurray, based on Clark’s design. Data from the experiments is used as the basis for a major study of the viability of commercial production. G1-2-6 Artifact: BA0049 Alberta. Turner Valley, Highwood-Sarcee Oil Well.

G4. Canadian stories – extraction technology. Visitors will understand that Canadians have a great expertise in the oil industry. Visitors compare a model of an open pit mine to a model of an in situ mine, learning about the technological, economic and environmental aspects of these processes. A children’s play area shows the large size of the trucks required for open pit mining, in a scenically rendered environment. G4 L2 title: Canadian oil extraction innovations G4 L2 text: Many geological, technological, and economic factors influence the way in which oil is extracted from a deposit.
Visitor Experiences: G4-1 In situ. Visitors will engage with an interactive model of an in situ drilling site where they will learn about the technological, economic and environmental aspects of this process. (600 words including audio) Model already done, but needs some repair Messages on the touch screen on the model:
Information to be potentially included on the open pit model touch screen: G4-2-1 General info on oil sands and how we extract using open pit mining: Only about 20% of all oil sand reserves in Canada can be extracted with open-pit techniques. The technique is used for reserves up to 50 m deep and theoretically can be used for up to 75 m. Steps in the extraction process. Detailed reference material on Google Drive
What is the stripping ratio, technologies to improve it. Rather complicated, but perhaps we can figure it out. Reference material on Google Drive What is the water efficiency, technologies to improve it: 2.1 barrels of water \ barrel of oil, Canmet is conducting research, even better would be COSIA Water Treatment Development Centre G4-2-3 Land reclamation: (Impact on the land, land reclamation technologies) 1: Reclamation and Closure Planning 2: Placing Landform Material 3: Landscape Design 4: Topsoil Replacement 5: Revegetation 5: Reforestation 7: Monitoring 8: Certification
Message: There are multiple forms of drilling platforms. The decision to use a particular type of platform depends on the depth of the sea floor, the depth of the resource under the sea floor, production costs, location, and the nature of the resource. (Graphic). The industry is also exploring robotics and submarine operations. Producing crude oil and natural gas from offshore locations is very similar to the process used on dry land. Oil is extracted and processed on the platform. Offshore platforms include processing facilities that remove saltwater and other elements from the crude oil before it is stored and shipped to the shore. The need to ship hydrocarbons across oceans and large bodies of water has prompted tremendous growth in the use of ships to carry crude oil overseas. Oil tankers have followed conventional shipping technology paired with safe oil storage systems.
