In May of 1974, the Oil Sands Environment Study Group (O.S.E.S.G.) authorized a First Phase Regional Hydrogeological Study of the McMurray Oil Sands area in Alberta. The objects of the assigned study were to: • Determine the present availability of pertinent hydrogeological data. • Interpret this data as far as possible and outline the effects of the groundwater systems on oil recovery operations and vice versa. • Determine what additional data is required, recommend methods of obtaining this data, and give initial cost estimates. • Prepare a report summarizing the results of the work.
