Interesting, both articles date back to 2005.
Darn, I guess we should go with Orinoco Belt.
Annoying because I never agreed with the move of Athabasca Tar Sands to Athabasca Oil Sands -- which I saw as a surrender to power of deceitful spin doctors. Oil Sands being the new term invented by shills to mask how truly dirty current extraction methods are. Geo Swan ( talk) 03:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
In Alberta every barrel extracted requires several barrels of water. Alberta is relatively dry. The Athabasca water that is used contains a large measure of glacial meltwater. What is the water supply like in the Orinoco region?

There are different figures for the amount of oil in the Canadian sands and the Venezuelan ones.
Here it says: It is estimated that at least 66% of the world's petroleum reserves are preserved in oil sand form, with 32% (270 km³ or 1.7 trillion barrels) of oil sand deposits coming from Athabasca and 34% (286 km³ or 1.8 trillion barrels) from Orinoco.
Yet in this section of the Tar Sands article it claims that there is more oil in Canada.
Tar sands represent as much as 66% of the world's total reserves of oil, with at least 1.7 trillion barrels (1.7×1012 bbl or 270×109 m3) in the Canadian Athabasca Tar Sands and 1.6 trillion barrels (1.6×1012 bbl or 254×109 m3) in the Venezuelan Orinoco tar sands, compared to 1.75 trillion barrels (1.75×1012 bbl or 278×109 m3) of conventional oil worldwide, most of it in Saudi Arabia and other Middle-Eastern countries.
Could this please be clarified? peter12220
I had to read this about four times to get it... Could you try rewriting it in a few straight forward sentences??
