The efficient recovery of bitumen, a highly viscous form of crude oil, poses significant technical and economic challenges. In recent years, researchers have developed advanced experimental techniques ...
Increased pipeline movement of raw bitumen production from Canada to the US could mitigate North America's vulnerability to crude supply disruptions and require expansion of existing pipelines or ...
The upstream greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions intensity of bitumen from the Canadian oil sands has fallen on average since 2009 and will continue doing so through 2030, says a study by IHS Markit.
