Energy and Capital editor Keith Kohl discusses 3 oil investments that are booming from record oil prices. This is a great opportunity for a Reservoir Engineer to consult, provide and be an integral part of the thermal recovery of heavy oil and/or bitumen for our client. A summary report of the study, conducted by Jacobs Consultancy, was publicly released on May 16, 2012 and provides insight for sustainable oil sands development in Alberta. Anyone know where I can get a copy of this book, hard copy or digital. Because of “reserve growth,” a country or a company may increase its oil reserves without tapping new areas if it can recover more oil from its known fields. The 1991 version would also suffice. Alberta's vast oil sands — a mixture of sand, water and a semisolid form of petroleum called bitumen — account for 97 percent of Canada's proven crude oil reserves, making Canada the largest source of foreign oil for the world's According to a report by oil sands industry consulting firm Strategy West, “The primary disadvantage of steam-based thermal recovery techniques is the large amount of energy and water that must be consumed for the generation of steam. 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. In the 1960s, introduction of thermal recovery technologies (application of steam technology) caused abrupt and substantial additions to reserves in fields that contain heavy oil (American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than . I can't seem to track down a copy anywhere. One of the problems is that the current extraction Some these methods include thermal recovery, as well as chemical or gas injection.
