Title: ENPEX syntaro project for development of the San Miguel tar sands

Abstract

The development is described of the South Texas tar sand deposit by ENPEX Corporation using steam injection. Steam is generated by the fluidized combustion of coal. The characteristics of the tar sands, the well spacing of injection and production wells, and the tar upgrading process are described. 7 references, 3 figures, 1 table.
