Session: Heavy Oil and Other Challenging Resources I (2010 Annual Meeting)

Monday, November 8, 2010: 8:30 AM

Deer Valley I (Marriott Downtown)

Description:

United States and Canada are home to vast heavy oil and unconventional fuel resources. There are challenges in extraction and recovery, transportation and processing of these resources. In this session we seek contributions on all aspects of heavy oil utilization.
