Elliot, H H

This book presents conference papers dealing with the research and development of tar sands, and various new developments in the understanding and processing of oil shale. Topics considered include time-lapse maps of Devonian dark shale, the world resources of heavy oil and tar sands, US tar sand oil recovery projects, the chemical and physical properties of tar sand bitumens and thermally recovered oils, the geology and geochemistry of bituminous rocks, the characterization of organic material in oil shale and shale oil, Fischer-assay-retorted oils, materials of construction for oil shale retorting, the recovery of oil from eastern shales using supercritical extraction, the countercurrent free-fall retorting process, semi-permeable membranes, a mechanically fluidized bed, the Petrosix process, the HYTORT process, the TARCO process, in-situ production of heavy oil from tar sands, and the ENPEX tar sands project.
