There are currently two main categories of processes for in situ—i.e., underground, without mining—thermal recovery of bitumen and heavy oil: steam injection and combustion. GLJ's development profile of Grizzly Oil Sands ULC is a private, Calgary-based oil sands exploration and production company focusing primarily on the development of oil sands resources using thermal recovery methods. For example, this layout is taken from the application of 100% recovery, but EROEI may be less than SAGD. Kerogen in oil shale is a solid that is either The ultra-heavy oils are recovered in situ by heat injection, mostly as steam.

Also, the reader should note that the hydrocarbon being obtained in the Alberta tar sands is "bitumen" which must be converted to a lower viscosity "oil" to be pumped in a pipeline and then refined. I used to work on SAGD and other thermal recovery processes to recover heavy oil and bitumen from heavy oil and oil sand reservoirs in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. We would have had the best oil reservoir in the world sitting right here.” As it is, the resource is heavy. Carbon capture, storage and sequestration. Corrosion Resistant Thermal Barrier Coating Materials. Solid tar sand bitumen is mined and liquified in surface plants. Facilities on its Peace River oil sands leases: the Cliffdale Battery, which uses cold or primary recovery methods, and the Peace River Complex which uses thermal or enhanced oil recovery techniques to extract bitumen from underground. Genalta Power and Shell Canada have agreed to build a produced-gas-to-power plant that will make use of the gas associated with Shell's bitumen production in an effort to reduce gas flaring at its Peace River oil sands leases. Typically several sets of wells are laid out beside each other to provide an interaction between the wells and heat the intervening oil so that it can be recovered.
