Pilot plant program for upgrading heavy oils by hydropyrolysis | The primary separation technique for the production of synthetic fuels from such sources as oil shale, tar sand, and black oils, produces a hydrocarbon liquid that is similar in properties to the heavier fractions of crude oil or heavy crudes. Extensive processing of these materials is required to b... | synthetic fuels production; oil shale; tar sand; black oils; Coal-derived liquids | 1984 |

Pilot plant recovery of bitumen from oil-wet tar sands | The world's tar sand deposits appear to be divided into two basic types, characterized by the way in which the tar and sand are associated within the ore structure. In the first, the tar or bitumen in the ore is separated from the silica sand grains by a film of water. These sands are designated wat... | tar sand deposit; ore structure; bitumen; Enercor | 1982-02-17 |

Reservoir description of the clearwater oil sand Cold Lake, Alberta Canada | The heavy oil accumulation at Cold Lake is part of the Lower Cretaceous heavy oil deposits that occur in a discontinuous trend in the eastern half of the western Canadian basin (Figure 30-1). This trend extends from the Peace River deposit in northwestern Alberta through Wabasca, Athabasca and south... | heavy oil accumulation; heavy oil deposits; deposits found on a discontinuous trend; oil sands | 1981 |
