tar sands reserves
Tar sands reserves refer to natural resources, primarily found in Canada, consisting of a mixture of sand, clay, water, and a heavy form of crude oil called bitumen. These are unconventional oil deposits that require specialized extraction methods as the bitumen is too thick to flow freely. Tar sands reserves are a significant potential source of oil, albeit with various environmental and economic implications.
