One of the problems is that the current extraction Some these methods include thermal recovery, as well as chemical or gas injection. Improving Energy Efficiency in Thermal Oil Recovery. Only 20% of the total amount of recoverable bitumen (the thick, tar-like form of petroleum) can be done through surface mining, leaving an overwhelming amount that will be extracted from In-Situ methods. 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. Energy and Capital editor Keith Kohl discusses 3 oil investments that are booming from record oil prices. However, the random nature of the carbonate bed, which is neither uniform nor consistent, makes economical bitumen recovery a technological challenge. Shen, Co-Chairman, said "this technology has been proven successful in an CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the "multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology" gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs". Daybreak extends drilling program to seven wells at California oil project May 17, 2013 Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. Crude oil is currently a primary source of energy globally, but the decline of light oil reserves has shifted attention to large deposits of untapped heavy oil and bitumen energy resources (~70 % of the World’s 9-13trillion barrel oil resource).
