	* '''[[Oil sands surface mining]]''': ~~This is one of the main methods of extracting bitumen in oil sands formations.~~ In this method, large amounts of oily sand are dug out of the ground and the bitumen is separated from it afterwards.		* '''[[Oil sands surface mining]]''': In this method, large amounts of oily sand are dug out of the ground and the bitumen is separated from it afterwards through mechanical and chemical processing.
	* '''[[In situ oil sands mining]]''': This is a process used to extract bitumen from oil sand that is buried deeply below the ground. In this process a ~~mine~~ is drilled into a deposit and [[steam]] is injected into the formation to allow bitumen to become ~~more [[liquid]]~~ and flow out of the well. This removes the desired bitumen but leaves the sand in place.		* '''[[In situ oil sands mining]]''': This is a process used to extract bitumen from oil sand that is buried deeply below the ground. In this process a well is drilled into a deposit and [[steam]] is injected into the formation to allow bitumen to become less viscous and flow out of the well. This removes the desired bitumen but leaves the sand in place.
