Oil sands are deposits of bitumen, thick, heavy black oil that must be upgraded before it can be used by refineries to produce consumer products such as gasoline and diesel fuels. Oil sands will increasingly be seen as a versatile energy source, expanding from the two-product industry today. Achieving the level of development envisaged during the decline in conventional oil and gas reserves will also see an expanded role, with multiple marketable products. This webinar reviews oil sand chemistry, location and size, technology, investment/commercial opportunity, and concerns.
