History of In-Situ Extraction in the Oil Sands
While mining was the first technology developed for extracting bitumen out of the oil sands, it was evident that billions of barrels of oil reserves were far too deep to be mined. Many early pioneers envisioned a less disruptive, less labour-intensive method of recovering bitumen directly from the ground, more like conventional oil, without having to excavate the entire deposit.
Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) was the first in-situ technology to be commercialized in the Cold Lake region. However, the technology wasn't a good fit in the larger Athabasca region, which was more permeable, and in some case, much closer to the surface.

Oil Sands Geology & Thermal Extraction Methods
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Over 90% of Alberta's recoverable oil sands deposits are only recoverable in-situ (or in-place), with minimal land disturbance. The two most common methods of in-situ recovery are: • CSS: Cyclic Steam Stimulation • SAGD: Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage CSS was first commercialized in the 1980s, and only works on tighter formations, like those found in Peace River and Cold Lake. SAGD came along ...
Unconventional Oil Explained

Combined, Canada and the US produced about 17.5 million bbl/day of crude oil in 2023. Two-thirds of that oil came from unconventional deposits, like tight oil from shale and carbonate reservoirs in places like Texas and North Dakota, and the bitumen from the oil sands, mostly near Cold Lake and in the Athabasca area. But what exactly is unconventional oil, and how is it extracted from the groun...

    The Alberta Oil Sands, the biggest environmental clean-up ever undertaking. No more oil leaching out of the ground and into the rivers, plus returning 99.999% of clean sand to mother nature for forest, CO2 recycle and eventually logging. There are many bright futures in Alberta, Agriculture, mining, forestry, fossil resources and the associated finance, technology, manufacturing, service, education, environmental, health, safety and tourism, employing hundreds of thousands of middle to high income jobs. Alberta state of the art industries are recognized as one of the top and most advanced in the world and with the correct political governance there are still huge and plentifully opportunities to further grow all of these industries, "the Alberta Advantage"

    It's a dirty messy process but, as long as the producers are required to set aside the resources to fund the end of life cleanup of their sites, I don't have an issue with this specific production process. A lot of manufacturing is smelly and ugly. Just clean it up after. Don't let firms make millions in the market then declare bankruptcy in hard market times and walk away from poor producing sites and form a new numbered company to start over elsewhere. The global carbon issue is a whole other topic that needs a deeper dive.

    The EROI of tar sands is low. In the grand scheme of things mining and refining tar sands is a net-energy sink. Throwing energy onto this futile endeavor is dangerous for the species, as we will lack the energy to build ourselves out of this energetic bottleneck with the renewables. There simply is a thermodynamic limit to when oil production becomes pointless, even if there are many more reserves left, *there won’t be the energy to reach them*

    Stop calling it "oil sand", it's bitumen, aka tar, tar sand. It takes a hell of a lot of work to make oil from tar sand. If it were oil sand, we wouldn't need the companies doing the extraction and purification and it wouldn't be so damaging to the environment and northern Alberta wouldn't look like post apocalyptic wasteland.

    Fireflooding on bitumen production is key technology to develop deep resources and increase reserves more than estimated based on SAGD. Injecting air or enriched oxygen will improve the economics on bitumen extraction, decrease natural gas used and water use, will decrease capital expenditure and will partly upgrade bitumen. So using fire flood technology will save more than 2.5 billion scf natural gas from industry and reduce emission of CO2 and methane significantly. More insights about fire flooding benefit can be provided to industry and Oil Sand Magazine on request.

    So, the companies that mine and refine bitumen are exactly like the individuals who harvest and refine coca leaves... They parisite a living off society by selling a naturally occuring compound that is used out of context. I guess dealing drugs is no worse than dealing crude oil, in fact, the drugs only kill people, the burning of fossil fuels kills every living thing. Choose your addictions carelessly at your own peril. This crude oil addiction is the great filter event that humanity failed to see.

    Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
