Some of the key factors driving the growth of this market are employment growth rate, demand for oil and increasing oil production globally. The extraction of oil sands and obtaining crude oil requires refining; this process is expensive and reduces the margin for profits in oil production compared to mining of crude oil. But, due to rising oil prices this process has been able to make profits. Transportation is the biggest hurdle affecting the market of oil sands. For transporting bitumen to refineries, bitumen must be blended with a condensate, to meet pipeline qualifications for viscosity and density. Also there is lack of skilled labours to work on these projects.
