"Practical Heavy Oil Recovery" by S.M. Farouq Ali, J.A. Jones, R.F. Meldau (Repost)

The book is intended to be a guide to the engineering aspects of thermal oil recovery.

Heavy oil and tar sands are important hydrocarbon resources that are destined to play an increasingly important role in the oil supply of the world, and North America in particular. The heavy oil resources of the world total over 10 trillion barrels, nearly three times the conventional oil in place in the world.
The importance of heavy oil can be appreciated by the fact that nearly 10% of the oil production in the U.S.A. and 20% in Canada is from heavy oil and tar sands resources. These figures are increasing steadily every year.
