This publication is designed to make available research results, analytical procedures, and engineering data on the properties and behaviour of Alberta petroleum resources. Sections of the publication cover the following: the geology of Alberta oil sand deposits; oil sand and bitumen analytical methods; bitumen and heavy oil chemistry; thermochemical and thermodynamic properties; interfacial properties; phase equilibria and pressure/volume/temperature properties; viscosity; geotechnical properties; inorganic geochemistry; fluid flow in porous media; heat transfer; mass transfer by diffusion; and electrical heating of oil sand reservoirs.
