On a world-wide basis there is an estimated 5.6 trillion barrels of bitumen and heavy-oil
resources which occur in over 70 different countries, with most of the heavy-oil in Venezuela …

Heavy crude oil has poor solubility and a high density, making recovery and transport much
more difficult and expensive than for light crude oil. Emulsifiers can be used to produce low …

During the past 15 to 20 yr, detailed work conducted by the Alberta government, including
the Alberta Geological Survey and the Energy Resources Conservation Board, allows for a …

Heavy oils in sedimentary basins are commonly related to biodegradation and water
washing, and thermal degradation of sulfur-rich kerogen at an early hydrocarbon generation …

The sedimentary facies and architecture of Late Campanian fluvial–tidal channels and
channel belts of the Neslen Formation are described from the Floy area of the upper Book …

A tidal influence on deposition of the Middle and Upper McMurray oil sands occurs at all
scales, from mm to 30+ meters thick; and few 10s of meters to 10s of kilometers laterally …

Global bitumen and heavy-oil resources are estimated to be 5.6 trillion bbl, with most of that
occurring in the western hemisphere. In the past decade, significant advances in the …

Geomorphologic features and sediment distribution from meander‐belts informs our
understanding of ancient deposits, with specific application to predicting heterogeneity in …

Detailed examination of the mineralogy of the Cretaceous McMurray Formation within a
facies framework is used to assess the use of natural gamma-ray spectroscopy (NGS) and a …

Mud‐dominated point bars are widely accepted as recording deposition by tidal influence,
bar tails or counter point bars. Less understood are muddy point bars that lack these …
