Two U.S. states say they’ll be asking Alberta for help on the idea of their own oil sands industry.
Mississippi and Alabama are exploring bitumen reserves in their states, and say they’ve signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a reserve that stretches across both states.
Mississippi governor Phil Bryant says they’ll look for help from the provincial government, Canadian universities, and the Canadian consulate in Atlanta.
He says he sees Canada as a proven leader in oil sands recovery, and hopes to collaborate and share knowledge.
