  14. Unlocking the Deeply-Buried Oil Sands 1974 – Establishment of the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) • The purpose: to get the private sector back working on the 90% of the oil sands too deeply buried to be mined • A National Project launched by a $100 million seed fund, that grew to $1 billion (1970s dollars). Projects funded 50/50 by the private/public sector • Cross-sectoral management board made investment decisions. New technology owned and licensed by the Alberta government Presentation by Clement W. Bowman • June, 2008
