冷湖油砂田
冷湖油砂田（英语：Cold Lake oil sands），是位于加拿大艾伯塔省冷湖附近的一个大型油砂矿床。[1][2][3][4][5]冷湖位于阿尔伯塔省首府埃德蒙顿以东，靠近阿尔伯塔省与萨斯喀彻温省的边界，冷湖油砂田的一小部分位于萨斯喀彻温省。

1980年，冷湖工厂是艾伯塔省仅有的两家在建油砂工厂之一。[4]尽管没有像最初设想的那样快速和广泛地开发，冷湖的帝国石油工厂成为1980年代艾伯塔省最大的就地油砂项目。到1991年，其石油日产量达到9万桶。[6]
冷湖矿床中的一些油砂密度足够低，可以通过钻探而不是采矿来提取。[7]

In 2008, oil sands production represented approximately half of Canada's total crude oil production. The Athabasca oil sands deposit in northern Alberta is one of largest oil sands deposits in the world. There are also sizable oil sands deposits on Melville Island in the Canadian Arctic, and two smaller deposits in northern Alberta near Cold Lake and Peace River.

Great as is the Athabasca spread, where real scientific exploration began just 60 years ago, it's not the full story. Alberta hold three other oil sands deposits – Wabasca just southwest of Athabasca, Cold Lake to the south, Peace River to the west.

Stringham said total investment in the oil sands – which include the Athabasca River, Cold Lake and Peace River regions around Fort McMurray, 210 miles northeast of Edmonton – was $11.3 billion from 1996-2001, with another $4.6 billion on new projects under construction and at least $16.6 billion more in potential projects through 2010.

Ottawa would inflict serious economic losses on all Canada if it cancels development of Alberta's two oil sands plants, Alberta Energy Minister Merv Leitch said yesterday. Leitch said the Alsands and Cold Lake plants could be developed for export production if the oil is not needed for eastern Canadian use.

After 5 or 6 days the well was checked again, only to discover approximately 250米（820英尺） head of oil was present in the well bore - evidence that Oil Sands had been encountered, and that it was Flowing Oil Sands. In accordance with Alberta Energy's designation, the project is categorized Oil Sands; located in the southern part of the Cold Lake Oil Sands district.
