The Muskeg River Mine stands on a Shell Canada lease containing more than 5 billion barrels (790,000,000 m) of mineable bitumen, of which it is expected to recover 1,650 million barrels (262,000,000 m) of bitumen over the next 30 years. The Muskeg River Mine, Jack Pine Mine and the Scotford Upgrader together comprise the "Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP)". 1014: 165:(over 100 million years ago), moved over the McMurray sands and deposited a blanket of marine shale on its floor which trapped the hydrocarbons of the McMurray Formation.
