Lower bitumen recovery rates: Recovery rates for in-situ facilities can vary greatly, typically from 40 to 60%. Despite significant technological improvements in recent years, in-situ recovery rates are still much lower than mining operations which typically recover over 90% of the bitumen contained in the oil sands.
Get priceOil sand processing methods also are described, including in situ recovery. Commercial projects for recovery and research thereon are listed, concluding that the use of oil sands resources is necessary in the drive to achieve energy independence from conventional oil supplies. 19 references.
Get priceIn Situ Methods used in the Oil Sands In situ methods are used to recover bitumen that lies too deep beneath the surface for mining (about 80% of the oil sands in Alberta). The success of in situ methods depends on the resolution of two major issues: 1) reducing the viscosity of bitumen so that it will flow, and 2) recovering the bitumen from deep within the earth (OSDC 2008c).

Get priceTar sands (also called oil sands) are a mixture of sand, clay, water, and bitumen.[1] Bitumen is a thick, sticky, black oil that can form naturally in a variety of ways, usually when lighter oil is degraded by bacteria.[2] Bitumen has long been used in waterproofing materials for buildings, and is most familiar today as the binding agent in road asphalt.
Get priceAn improved composition for recovering bitumen from oil sands is used in the traditional "hot water" extraction process. An aliquot of a solvent mixture is mixed with bitumen ore and water. A pH builder is added and following mixing primary and secondary froths are recovered. The solvent mixture contains a monoterpene, nonionic surfactant, a short chain alcohol and a short chain ketone.

Get priceI am not familiar with the quality of Utah oil sands, Jan, but if it is similar to Canadian oil sands, the original oil is about 8°API gravity. Thus, if the recovered oil is 17°, then a portion of the heaviest oil was rejected. That is good. But where does it go? Does it remain in the mine? If so, that is good. Can you enlighten me more?

Get priceOil sands are recovered using two main methods: drilling (in situ) and mining. The method used depends on how deep the reserves are deposited. About 20 per cent of the oil sands reserves are located close enough to the surface to be mined using large shovels and trucks.
