Does Syncrude invest most of its research in technology development and mining?
Syncrude focuses its resources on ensuring we remain a competitive and responsible oil sands producer. Most research is focused on mining, extraction and environmental processes. We have developed a number of new technologies to minimize the impact of the operation on the environment. For example, the Tailings Oil Recovery (TOR) unit, developed by Syncrude and sold to other companies, has increased the amount of bitumen recovered in the extraction process.
