Diluted bitumen is sent through centrifuges to remove the remaining minerals and water. Water, clay, sand, and residual bitumen are pumped to holding ponds, where the clay and sand settle to the bottom. The water is recycled back to the extraction plant. The naphtha is removed and recycled for further extraction.

In the world of in situ oil sands extraction, there is a lot of buzz about solvent-based technologies to replace water and gas-guzzling conventional steam-injection technologies to make the bitumen that is too deep to be mined less viscous so it can be collected and pumped to the surface. One of these is HeatWave, developed by U.S.-based Harris.

The total cost of crude bitumen production will rise to $18-$20 per barrel in a new oil sands mining and extraction operation, and $18-$22 per barrel in a SAGD. The cost of oil sands extraction is not comparable to conventional oil wells, which is about $1 per barrel in the Middle East, and $6-$9 in the US and Canada (ARIWG, 2004).

Canada's oil sands. Oil sands are a naturally occurring mixture of heavy oil — called bitumen — water and sand. Producers use mining or in-situ extraction methods to recover bitumen, depending on the depth of the reserves. For in-situ recovery, producers inject steam into underground reservoirs that contain bitumen.
