| Title |
Thermal recovery may bring industry's "quiet revolution" |
| Date |
1964-11-23 |
| Description |
Today the American oil industry is in the process of a revolution of such magnitude that its implications are yet to be thoroughly understood. This is the "quiet revolution" which will double the proved oil reserves of the world within the next 10 years and will more than triple those reserves by the year 2060. The quiet revolution is the engineering application of thermal recovery to low-gravity, viscous crude oils heretofore unrecoverable by conventional and secondary recovery techniques and to tremendous reserves of bituminous sandstones. |
