The onset that the 'tar sands' classification is scientifically incorrect , as he explains that “[tar sands] terminology should be avoided because oil sands are neither tar nor sands…tar is not a raw material; instead, it is a residual product that remains after severe thermal cracking of heavy oil”. Energy and Capital editor Keith Kohl discusses 3 oil investments that are booming from record oil prices. During the process of oil extraction from oil sands, bitumen, a semi-solid oxidized form of oil, is removed using thermal recovery techniques that consume about 3.1 barrels of water per single barrel of oil 1. A CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the 'multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology' gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs,” co-chairman Songning Shen said in a press release. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced reservoir engineer with well-developed technical knowledge of thermal recovery to join a financially stable, entrepreneurial oil sands organization with an excellent track record of success. Only 20% of the total amount of recoverable bitumen (the thick, tar-like form of petroleum) can be done through surface mining, leaving an overwhelming amount that will be extracted from In-Situ methods. Thermal Projects Wabiskaw - Recognized the potential for cost-effective thermal recovery of a 2.0 billion barrel bitumen deposit in the Grand Rapids Formation within the Woodenhouse area. These leases include the Hangingstone, Chard, Corner and Thornbury areas which are expected to contain approximately 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resources. This apparently paradoxical situation is occurring because supplies of conventional crude oil have peaked while growing economies in South America have increased demand for refined fuel. Before we delve into various environmental issues including the social impact of the oil sands development, it is important to understand the properties of oil sands and how bitumen is recovered using different technologies. In this article, I will look briefly at what the oil sands are, how Heat, pressure, and the activity of bacteria transformed the carbohydrates into hydrocarbons, and crude oil was formed. Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen. Image source:US EIA of oil sand assets in Alberta. GO Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Author: Roger M. Language: English Released: 1991. A tiny Canadian oilsands company has struck a deal with a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil corporation, agreeing to trade information on oilsands technology and potential exploration efforts. All emissions are used in the process and are injected into the bitumen.” As Nikipelo tells the story, when he took his original concept to the Alberta Research Council, Dr. Can oil sands/heavy oil/bitumen be mined or recovered through steam injection in an environmentally sustainable way that does not compromise valuable freshwater supplies? In the Athabasca region for future development. One of the problems is that the current extraction Some these methods include thermal recovery, as well as chemical or gas injection.
