1 Oil-sand and heavy-oil potential of OklahomaThere 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 seeps1981-06-12

3 Characteristics of tar sand bitumen asphaltenes and the effect of asphaltenes on conversion of bitumen by hydropyrolysisAsphaltenes derived from tar sand bitumen are similar to petroleum derived asphaltenes in that the geochemical history is similar for these sources. It has been shown that tar sand bitumen possesses an unusually high average molecular weight when compared with petroleum residues of similar initial b...tar sand bitumen asphaltenes; characteristics of tar sand bitumen; effect of asphaltenes; bitumen conversion; hydropyrolysis; tar sand bitumen1979
