Third international conference on heavy crude and tar sands. Part IV: production experiences, continued
Greater costs of estimating, producing, transporting, and processing non-conventional crude oil compared to conventional oil have always restricted its participation in our energy diet. However, over time, advances in technology and cost cutting are preparing for the day when much greater reliance on heavy crude and tar sands will have become a necessity. By then, supply and demand will have redefined the economics of heavy crudes. Coverage is continued here of the Third International Conference on Heavy Crude and Tar Sands, highlighting papers on production. A graph, from statistics not presented at the Conference, displays how over 40% of one oil-producing region, California, is heavier than 15/sup 0/ API. This issue also contains the following: (1) asphalt export prices to the USA through September for Canada, N. Antilles, and Venezuela; (2) US Natural gas spot price. Series Sept. 24, 1985; (3) Venezuela's refined petroleum-product prices; Sept. 20, 1985; (4) refining netback data for the US Gulf and West Coast, Rotterdam and Singapore for Sept. 24, 1985; (5) fuel price/tax series for countries of the Western Hemisphere; and (6) principal industrial fuel prices for some of the countries for August, 1985.
