In situ and surface upgrading research.
The In Situ Energy Centre’s facility will enable researchers to test projects aimed at more cleanly and cost-effectively unlocking energy from Alberta’s vast oil sands resources that are too deep to be mined from the surface.
As well, the various state-of-the-art analytical laboratories provide analytical services supporting the academic and commercial research of a diverse community of internal and external users including geologists, engineers, chemists and biologists.
