Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sand
bitumen resources. With conventional production steadily declining, advances in enhanced recovery will be
required so that oil production can be extended and reservoirs last longer. A practical guide on heavy-oil related
recovery methods is essential for all involved in heavy oil production. To feed this demand, James Speight, a
well-respected scientist and author, provides a must-read for all scientists, engineers and technologists that
are involved in production enhancement. Titled Enhanced Recovery Methods for Heavy Oil and Tar Sands,
Speight provides the current methods of recovery for heavy oil and tar sand bitumen technology, broken down
by thermal and non-thermal methods. An engineer, graduate student or professional working with heavy oil,
upcoming and current, will greatly benefit from this much-needed text.
