The most commonly known "unconventional oils"--oil sands, heavy oil, and bitumen--are found primarily in the western United States, Canada, and Venezuela. Only recently has serious consideration has been given to North American resources for meeting the increasing demands for transportation fuel. Dr. Banerjee discusses the importance of these unconventional oils and provides an introduction for those beginning their journey in the still unexplored unconventional hydrocarbon resources of the world. This new book is an important educational tool for anyone in the petroleum industry--whether upstream, downstream, or pipeline--who would like to learn the fundamentals of the most commonly known unconventional oils: oil sands, heavy oil, and bitumen.Oil sands, heavy oil, and bitumenOil sandsHeavy oilBitumenEnhanced oil recoveryOil sands.Heavy oil.Bitumen.Enhanced oil recovery.665/.4Banerjee Dwijen K1822328MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911004759203321Oil sands, heavy oil, & bitumen4388488UNINA
