United States tar sands | 1982 | U.S. tar sands; tar sands; Interstate Oil Compact Commission | The term 'Tar Sands' is a catch-all misnomer that includes asphaltic and oil-impregnated sandstones, siltstones, and other elastics and even limestones and other carbonates - but not "oil shales" or man-made paving material. A press agent might entitle this paper "OIL, the Overlooked Billions of Bar... |

Technology of the recovery of values from tar sands | 1982-08 | recovery of values; tar sand; bitumen recovery; in situ processes; thermal recovery methods; COFCAW; combination of forward combustion and water flood process; emulsion-steam drive process; nuclear stimulation; mining; processing mined tar sands; anhydrous solvent extraction process; cold water sepa... | There are two basic approaches to recovering bitumen. The tar sand may be mined and transported to a process plant where the bitumen is extracted and the sand is discharged. Alternatively the separation of bitumen from sand may be accomplished without ever moving the sand, that is, in situ. In situ ... |

Influence of the geological and geochemical characteristics of heavy oils on their recovery | 1987 | oil buoyancy; heavy oils; Likouala oil field; Emeraude oil field; water washing; oil saturation; biodegradation | The migration of an oil into a trap is governed by its buoyancy, the capillary pressure, and the hydrodynamic forces. For heavy oils the buoyancy is low; therefore, they can only saturate high-permeability zones, which are also preferentially swept by steam in a steam-drive recovery operation. Howev... |

The oil resources in tar sand deposits in the United States | 1982 | oil resources; tar sand deposits; tar sand oil recovery processes | This report summarizes the data available at the Laramie Energy Technology Center. An effort was made to catalogue U.S. tar sand resources, identify U.S. and state maps showing tar sand deposits, and attempt to compare tar sand oil recovery processes. A review of the available data indicated there w... |
