U.S. tar sand oil recovery projects |

| Description |
The increasing U.S. energy demands, decreasing conventional crude oil reserves, and decontrol of crude oil prices have resulted in significant numbers of projects in U.S. tar sands. Data are reported for 62 projects involving both in situ and mining and plant extraction technologies. The data include operator name, project location, project status (completed, current, or planned), project type (commercial, pilot, or research), reservoir and oil characteristics, and estimated product costs. The cost estimates per unit of produced oil provide encouragement for the commercialization of the U.S. tar sand resource. |
