"With over 80 billion barrels of oil wet oil sands in the US alone, according the US Dept. of Energy, and many more billions of barrels outside the US, oil wet oil sands stand poised to be the next wave of unconventional oil. Having no water usage, no tailings ponds, and minimal environmental impact, AMSE's technology, combined with 2020cg's marketing expertise, is well positioned to lead this development."

"We are excited to represent American Sands and their breakthrough oil sands processing technology," stated Dan Kass of 2020cg.
