'Goose bumps': CNRL develops oilsands mining idea that eliminates tailings ponds The process — named the In-Pit Extraction Process — passed the first round of testing. Not only could the technology eliminate the need for tailings ponds, CNRL found it also shaved at least $2 off the cost to produce a barrel of oil. Moreover, it reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent because energy wasn't needed to truck or pipe mined oilsands back to a processing facility that was kilometres away. "It just gives you goose bumps. It's a really special thing to see, to make this kind of difference," Romero said about the project. "It's a huge game-changer."
