Jen-Russel-Houston held up a half-tube of core of high-density fractures riddled throughout bitumen saturated rock. Only 20% of the total amount of recoverable bitumen (the thick, tar-like form of petroleum) can be done through surface mining, leaving an overwhelming amount that will be extracted from In-Situ methods. This distinguishes in situ recovery from surface mining, which requires removing topsoil and other overburden and Another common form of thermal recovery is cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). Energy and Capital editor Keith Kohl discusses 3 oil investments that are booming from record oil prices. GLJ identified 1.8 billion barrels of exploitable bitumen in place and has assigned 824 million barrels of contingent resource as a best estimate using steam assisted gravity drainage and Grizzly's ARMS development model. A CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the 'multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology' gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs,” co-chairman Songning Shen said in a press release. In situ oil sands production means extracting bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. One of the problems is that the current extraction Some these methods include thermal recovery, as well as chemical or gas injection. As they note the trade off the thermal inertia of the oceans. A tiny Canadian oilsands company has struck a deal with a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil corporation, agreeing to trade information on oilsands technology and potential exploration efforts. It will take a millennium to bring the atmosphere, the shallow waters and deeper ocean waters into thermal equilibrium on account of all of the energy the oceans have already stored. Laricina Energy points out in a presentation, Strategies for Cheaper Bitumen, the rate of oil recovery is a function of the (time averaged) reservoir temperature and that the optimal recovery temperature is in the range of 150oC. GLJ's development profile of Grizzly Oil Sands ULC is a private, Calgary-based oil sands exploration and production company focusing primarily on the development of oil sands resources using thermal recovery methods.
