冷湖油砂田
冷湖油砂田（英語：Cold Lake oil sands），是位於加拿大亞伯達省冷湖附近的一個大型油砂礦床。[1][2][3][4][5]冷湖位於亞伯達省首府愛德蒙頓以東，靠近亞伯達省與薩斯喀徹溫省的邊界，冷湖油砂田的一小部分位於薩斯喀徹溫省。

1980年，冷湖工廠是亞伯達省僅有的兩家在建油砂工廠之一。[4]儘管沒有像最初設想的那樣快速和廣泛地開發，冷湖的帝國石油工廠成為1980年代亞伯達省最大的就地油砂項目。到1991年，其石油日產量達到9萬桶。[6]
冷湖礦床中的一些油砂密度足夠低，可以通過鑽探而不是採礦來提取。[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公尺（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.
