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 |

Oil sands: Reservoir or orebody? | With the advent of large-scale mining projects in the Athabasca area of Alberta, the oil industry and the mining industry have been brought together in a common cause. Each industry is contributing towards the successful exploitation of the resource but there have been differences of approach betwee... | oil sands; reservoir; orebody; large-scale mining; mining; petroleum; resource potential; evaluating surface mining areas | 1979-06-12 |

The unconventional petroleum resources of California | Unconventional petroleum resources are naturallyoccurring deposits of liquid and solid hydrocarbons that have not been fully exploited due to unfavorable economics or inadequate technology. The term unconventional conveniently describes these deposits without imposing specific limits, such as densit... | unconventional petroleum resources; liquid and solid hydrocarbons; ultraheavy oil and tar sands; diatomaceous oil shales | 1981-06-12 |

A steamflood in a Utah tar sand, U.S.A. | A steamflood experiment in the Northwest Asphalt Ridge tar sand deposit near Vernal, Utah, U.S.A. was conducted in 1980. The test utilized two concentric inverted five-spot patterns covering an area of 0.25 acres (1,012 m2). The zone tested was a 45 ft (14 m) thick sandstone in the Rimrock member of... | 1984 | |

Chemical evaluation of product oils from two in-situ tar sand oil recovery projects | Tar sand deposits are widely distributed over the United States of America. These deposits vary from small to very large, and some of the latter may prove to be of economic significance. Curiously, virtually all of the largest known deposits occur in Utah, and this state is believed to possess reser... | chemical evaluation; tar sand deposits; product oils; in-situ tar sand oil recovery projects; oil recovery; in-situ tar sand | 1984-02-17 |

Oil-sand and heavy-oil potential of Oklahoma | There are over 300 reported occurrences of heavy oil and bitumen-impregnated rocks in the State of Oklahoma. Surface oil seeps in the southern part of the State led to the discovery of some of the giant oil fields in that area. Historical records describing the mining activity in the Tri-State area ... | oil sand potential; heavy oil potential; oklahoma oil sand and heavy oil; bitumen-impregnated rocks; surface oil seeps | 1981-06-12 |

Radio-frequency heating to recover oil from Utah tar sands | The IITRI RF Process for tar sands consists of two steps: first, the deposit is volumetrically heated with radio frequency energy to lower the viscosity of the bitumen; and the second, the bitumen is produced by one of several petroleum recovery methods. The RF (radio frequency) heating step is acco... | IITRI RF Process; Utah tar sands; oil recovery; raidio-frequency heating; heavy crude | 1979 |

Sulfur compounds in oils from the Western Canada Tar Belt | Sulfur compounds in the gas oil fractions from two bitumens (Athabasca oil sand and Cold Lake deposit), a heavy oil (Lloydminster) from Cretaceous reservoirs along the western Canada sedimentary basin, and a Cretaceous oil from a deep reservoir that may be mature (Medicine River) are investigated. T... | sulfur compounds; oils; Western Canada Tar Belt; gas oil | 1976 |

A preliminary estimate of world heavy crude oil and bitumen resources | Since the First International Conference on the Future of Heavy Crude and Tar Sands was held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in June 1979, several significant events have occurred bearing upon future development of these resources. Positive factors include the following: (1) a second conference was he... | 1984 | |

Characteristics of the PR Spring Tar Sand deposit, Uinta Basin, Utah, U.S.A. | The Laramie Energy Technology Center (LETC) conducted a seven-corehole drilling program in the PR Spring tar sand deposit, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah, during the summer of 1980. Three main tar sand zones in the southwestern and west-central portion of the deposit were correlated by cross section... | 1984 |
