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. 517 3 $aOil sands, heavy oil, and bitumen 606 $aOil sands 606 $aHeavy oil 606 $aBitumen 606 $aEnhanced oil recovery 615 0$aOil sands. 615 0$aHeavy oil. 615 0$aBitumen. 615 0$aEnhanced oil recovery. 676 $a665/.4 700 $aBanerjee$b Dwijen K$01822328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004759203321 996 $aOil sands, heavy oil, & bitumen$94388488 997 $aUNINA
