Reducing energy consumption during bitumen separation from oil sand
Energy Reports, 2020 Oil sands, found in Canada, Venezuela, USA and Russia, contain bitumen, water, clay and some metals. Two different methods of producing oil from oil sands exist: open-pit mining and in situ. Approximately 20% of oil sands are recoverable through open-pit

Communities Perceived Socio-economic Impacts of Oil Sands Extraction in Nigeria [PDF]
Human Geographies: Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography, 2011 Nigeria is currently harmonising plans for the exploitation of oil sands in southern part of the country. The findings from a case study suggested that investment and subsequent production in oil sands could have positive outcomes, but could also affect ...
